Rated 3.5!

Sophia Cruz always gives in to her twin. That is how she finds herself doing her sister's modeling shoot. What she isn't expecting is the confidence it gives her and that she would meet Washington Warriors Zephirin Black in the process. Gah, what's a girl to do?

Zeph is intrigued by the changes he sees in Sophia, the woman he believes to be Giovanna. He cannot deny the attraction, but he only wants a fling. He has done serious in the past and he isn't willing to open himself up like that again. Or is he?

I have to admit that I picked up SCORING WITH THE WRONG TWIN by author Naima Simone because I thought it had to do with male twins, but I am not in the least disappointed. It is kind of nice to see a contemporary center around female twins. Sparks fly between Zeph and Sophia. They are so unprepared for what their actions cause, but that just makes it all the sweeter. SCORING WITH THE WRONG TWIN is a sexy, sexy read!

Oh wow just wow. I have to say I absolutely love Naima Simone and her books and this one is spectacular. I couldn’t put this book down at all. It captivated me from the very first page and held me attention all the way through and had me turning the pages as quickly as I could and I still didn’t want it to end. I really really need the next book right now but I know I will have to wait but I can re-read this one till the next one comes out. Just phenomenal work by this amazingly talented author. A must read all day long and I would wholeheartedly recommend

I love the cover, and the premise was intriguing, but I wasn't captivated enough to finish the whole book.

Sophia Cruz is the complete opposite of her twin, her twin is outgoing and a model while Sophia looks exactly like her she is more into computers and is the shy one. When her sister asks her to pretend she is her for a model shoot, Sophia reluctantly agrees but she does not expect to be modeling with Washington Warriors Tight End Zephirin Black. Everything about him makes Sophia's body hum but she knows it can never go anywhere especially when he thinks she is her twin.

Zephirin has worked with this beautiful model before but something is different about her and she is a bit quirkier than he remembers. Zephirin wants to get to know Sophia more but she only agrees to a one night stand, but it is not enough for him. The one thing Zephirin wont tolerate is liars though, after a bad breakup he learned his lesson. What will happen when Zephirin realizes his initial meeting with Sophia was all a lie?

Fantastic, this was a page turner for me. You wanted to see where this was going with Sophia and Zephirin and like big red flags in the distance you couldn't stop the impending crash that would happen. I felt for Sophia because she is in a pickle where her sister is concerned and yet she is falling hard for Zephirin. Excellent read, was just what I was looking for.

What happens when twins switch rolls? The shy Sophia helps her Model sister with ob and end s in a physical relationship with a hot strong Football player. But what happens when the truth is revealed? I liked this story, loved both Sophia and Zeph. Zeph is not typically man whore Football-player but one serious devoted athlete with some ugly past. Sophia is also a great person. I liked how although they knew each other just short period of time they really did know the right word to say and they were complementary. Enjoyable read.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

I voluntary read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I enjoyed this book, I found it cute. We meet Sophia who is a shy programmer, but when her sister the model asks her for a big favor she can't say no. She ends up going to a shoot pretending to be identical twin Giovanna. Sophia gets the shock of her life when she finds herself aside from Zephirin Black a gorgeous football player. Zephiring could not understand what was different from his partner he thought she was aloof and stuck up. They are attracted to each other and Zephirin is all about the honesty and sophia who should tell him the truth keeps quiet not wanting to rock the boat, we all know how that will end..So what happens? You need to read my friends..Enjoy!!

A scorching read! Naima delivers the goods. Sophia and Giovanna were a delight to read, as it was the first time I have read about a Boricua heroine, which made me immensely happy!
My only criticism of this book was that there were several misspellings when it came to the Spanish words or the author used the wrong word. And I should know since I speak the language and share the same heritage as the Cruz twins.

In “Scoring With the Wrong Twin” by Naima Simone we meet Sophia Cruz, programmer extraordinaire, and her sister, Giovanna, a rising model. When Giovanna begs her sister to pretend to be her for a modeling shoot, Sophia gives in. Little did she know that her modeling partner would be a drop dead gorgeous football player named Zephirin Black.

As she continues to keep her secret it soon lands her in a very bad spot. She has to tell Zephirin the truth, but doing so could mean losing the one thing she selfishly wants for herself.

I received a copy of this book through Net Galley and this is my honest review.

4.5 - "Honesty... no lies." Stars!

I have a bit of a soft spot for Naima Simone’s writing, so was excited to see that her next series; WAGS is based around pro-footballer’s and of course the women that fall for them.

IMAGE.

I think the title pretty much gives the game away when it comes to the themes of the story. No real surprises in how things turned out either, but I absolutely adored Zephirin, and Sophia held her own as well.

She just wanted to be someone else for a little while… Enjoy this dance of attraction, savor the sensual gleam in his eyes.

This was a really great introduction to the series, the story was easy to get along with the drama, well-paced and not overly done, neither of them spent too long bemoaning the issues from their pasts, and as I have come to expect from this author the sexy times were hella hot, and plentiful.

"You make me want things I shouldn’t… That I know better than to take. Wanting you makes me selfish."

I look forward to reading more from this series in the future, the author started it off with great style.

A very sweet romance between Sophia and Zephirin. The story was written in a way that it seemed very realistic the way Sophia and Zephirin interacted with each other. That also carried over to Sophia's relationship with her identical twin sister. The plot was interesting. It had humor sprinkled throughout. There was many unspoken things that lead to problems for the couple. But in the end the power of love gave them the strength to stand up for what they believed and wanted. A great read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel! It was fast paced, held my attention, I read it in one sitting and would recommend this novel to my book club to read. I think they would love Sophia and Zephirin's story. I will be reading more novels from this author for sure!

Fantastic book!! The characters and plot were very well developed. I really enjoyed it. My only criticism would be that I wish it was longer - including more dialogue with her sister and his friends!

My goodness, this was one hot read! Sports romances are usually hit or miss. But this one knocked it right of the park. Zeph and Sophia were totally relatable, the plot was good and kept me hooked from page one. And I love happily ever afters. I never read this writer's work until now. But I am definitely paying attention to her now. I loved this book! I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This decadent romance with well developed characters of colour impressed galore, and witty intersectional feminist reflections along the way made it even more meaningful!
