Oh my gosh! This book...I just, wow.

My sister has been a huge fan of Rachel’s for a while and she’s been constantly on at me to read one of her books so when I seen the info about this one I knew I had to give it a shot. It’s sounded exactly like the kind of book I love to read and boy, I was right. It was absolutely amazing!

Identical twins, both love each other endlessly but when a marriage breaks down and a selfish father takes one and sends the other with their mother things are going to go down.

Bridge has had to work for what he has, to help keep his family fed and healthy. He’s a respectable man and kind hearted. He’ll do anything for his mom, for anyone he loves even if it means making a deal with the devil.

Julian is rich and entitled but the only thing he’s ever truly wanted is his fathers approval, he’d do anything to gain his respect and for him to be proud of him even if it means becoming someone he doesn’t want to be.

Two completely different brothers but yet the same in a many ways, separated at a young age and growing to dislike each other because of things that couldn’t be helped.

Isabel is living a life she doesn’t want. She grew to love a man that changed in ways she hated. She deserves more than what she gets and she knows it. I loved her for standing by what she wants and her knowing she deserves more. She’s an amazing woman but I just wish she stood her ground more on the way she was treated.

Watching this story play out has been so much fun. There were a few shocks that weren’t expected, ones that I loved and ones that made this story so much better than it already was. When I went into this book I was expecting certain things but this book smashed everything I expected and gave me so much more and I love LOVE when a book does that.

As I said above this is my first read by Rachel Van Dyken and I’m really glad I chose this one. It kept me hooked from the first page right up until the last. I can’t wait for book two because I NEED to learn more about Julian. If RVD’s other books are anything like this then I’m going to need to have a binge read right away.

Stealing Her was full of angst and drama. It’s a book about heartbreak and learning to love again. A book full of twists and feelings that you won’t be able to forget at any time. One of the best reads of 2019!

If you love triangles involving brothers, family torn apart and manipulation then look no further then Stealing Her. Bridge is doing all he can to save his mom. Torn from his twin brother when his parents divorced leads to a read full of emotions and feelings. You feel for Bridge when he is put in a tough situation to take his brother Julian's place within their fathers company. Add in Julians fiancee and you are going to be in for one heck of a ride. Isobel is in a rock and a hard place through all this. Secrets being held and thinking her old Julian is back. This is one crazy love triangle that will pull you in. I love the chemistry with Isobel and Bridge. You will hate Julian and Bridge's father and that is ok because just wait until these brothers get pay back. I loved Bridge and Isobel together even if it took her it seemed like forever to figure things out. I can't wait for Julians story to come.

This book... I could not put it down! It didn’t seem long enough the way I was reading it. VanDyken takes some time to go back to her roots with this angst romance! There were tons of times where I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, where I was swooning with the characters, and where I was laughing with them too. This book has a little bit of everything that makes it worth reading! I absolutely loved the characters and loved seeing how their minds worked. Definitely recommend.

This is absolutely one of my favorite stories from Rachel Van Dyken. That is saying a lot, because I love her writing. This story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

I am such a sucker for angsty stories. I seriously devour them and this one gave me so much of that and more. I could not put this book down. I read it in one sitting.

While at times, I found my self questioning the character's decisions, I still found myself rooting for them. I even wanted to see more of Julian and how everything works out for him. This book had me on an emotional roller coaster that I did not want to get off of. I seriously can't wait for the next book in this series.

Stealing Her (Covet, #1) by Rachel Van Dyken is a contemporary romance done respectfully with the right amount of angst and drama. This is a page turner for sure. Just when you think you’ve figured out where the story is headed. Bam! Nope, not what you were thinking at all. The deception and manipulation by their father is unfathomable and keeps the reader guessing at his motives and what underhanded scheme he will use to his advantage. I loved all the characters in this book, including the not so savory ones. Izzy was a little slow to clue in to things but she handled everything with the grace she was primed for. Lies between friends. Secrets between lovers. Mistrust between brothers. This is not your typical type of story where twins trade places. It’s so much more.

Omg.... its amazing just utterly amazing. Truly i loved it. These characters and this story line is simply the best and i hope there is more. You will not want to put this book down. Its a "just one more chapter" kind of book. Your heart will twist and you really wont know which way u want it to go.

Wow that was powerful. It Blew my mind and captured my heart. I give Stealing her 5 stars.
Isobel Cunningham is a beautiful young lady. Engaged to Julian Tennyson .
Julian Tennyson is a powerful soon to be CEO of his father’s company.
Bridge Tennyson is the other twin the father had sent away. But after an accident their father comes to Bridge for help.
First of all the storyline was so original and unlike anything I have read before. It immediately draws you in, so make sure you have time to read this book because you will not want to put it down. It kept me guessing the whole way through on what would happen next. There are so many tender and sweet moments throughout. Along with moments that had me laughing and moments of just raw emotion. I absolutely loved the characters and the storyline and just everything about this book, It was completely riveting!! Definitely going to have a book hangover from this one! I Highly Recommend you read Stealing Her, you will not be sorry!!!

This is such a good book I didn’t know how the story would end, would Julian wake up and take his life back or would Bridge keep it all while he slept away in his coma? It’s such a lovely story that’s told about Bridge one that’s hard to not love, his twin brother is in a coma from an accident and is blackmailed by his father to live his twin brothers life that includes his fiancé Isobel. He cannot help but fall in love with Isobel, but how could he betray his brother? As the story unfolds you understand how and why but you don’t see it coming! Just love this book!

I don’t even know where to start! This story had so many twists and turns. My heart was breaking for Isobel in the beginning and then I was so anxious through most of the story! I couldn’t read fast enough. This was a rollercoaster ride of emotions!

I had moments of rooting for Julian and then times I was rooting for Bridge. I am so anxious to get my hands on the next book!!!

4 Stars

Great story with loads of laughter and angst.

Bridge has been estranged from his Father and twin brother for years but when an accident happens he is thrust back into that life in order to help his Mum.

As much as Bridge does not like pretending to be his twin brother he does enjoy spending time with his fiancée Isobel, the only problem he likes her too much.

Isobel does not recognize this new Julian, he looks the same but acts different and she likes it.

What will happen as these two grow closer and Julian recovers?

What would you for family? This story dives into the depths of what one man would do for his family, even when some of that family is estranged. Rachel Van Dyken has woven a web in these pages that are hard to believe but so believable at the same time, with enough money to throw around and the right circumstances in place. This book has characters to love, characters to hate and characters that you can't seem to figure out just yet. I cannot wait to read more in the next book, it can't come soon enough!
If you haven't read anything by Rachel Van Dyken yet,this is a great book to start with, you will love how she develops her characters.

Bridge had always protected his twin brother Julian from their father when they were growing up but now that their parents are divorced he finds himself barely getting by financially as he tries to pay for his mother’s medical treatments while his brother is the heir apparent to their father’s company and appears to be living the privileged life.

When Julian is injured in a horrific car accident his father comes to Bridge with an offer he can’t refuse and he now finds himself living his brother’s life while trying to deny the feelings he has for Isobel, his brother’s fiancé, and uncovering the family’s secrets.

Isobel knows that there is something different about the fiancé that
returned home from the hospital but she is just happy to have back the man she loved rather than the man she has been living with the last little while but she is about to learn that some things are too good to be true.

Full of emotion and drama there was no denying the chemistry and connection between them. There appears to be so much more to Julian than we know, and I can’t wait for his story.

Stealing Her is the first book in the Covet series by the so very talented, Rachel Van Dyken. I, once again started a book without reading the synopsis. I had no clue it was going to be such a wild ride! One I didn’t want to end. I read the blurb after finishing the book and it kicks ass so I will make this fast.

Twins. Bridge and Julian were best friends from the moment they were born. Bridge protected Julian. Julian wanted his father’s approval. They were inseparable until the divorce. Julian stayed with his father and lived the high life. Bridge moved away with his mom living paycheck to paycheck thanks to his deal ol’ dad. Brothers drifted apart and now it was years later and their father needed a favor from the son he threw away. Pretend to be Julian after an accident left him a coma. Easy, right?

No. It could had been except for her. Isobel, the fiancé. A beautiful woman who should had been cherished instead of shut out. A woman who wasn’t his. A woman he wanted. A woman he swore to protect. A woman he wanted to set free. A woman he had to lie to day in and day out then walk away from when her real fiancée woke up.

That’s all I can really say about the story. I will say that if life, actually a fire didn’t get in the way I would had finished it in one day. I know that for sure since I read 75% in just a few hours today. I loved Bridge and Izzy’s relationship even if he had to lie to her. It was full of all the feels. I had to know what was going to happen next. Was she going to figure it out now? No. Ok, now?....no.
When? And what will she do if she did?

Overall...it was awesome! Different. Fun. Exciting. Addicting. I can’t wait for the next book!! I loved the characters. Strong and beautiful characters.

Quotes:

“I hate that I’ve done that, forced you to look away when I give you a compliment,” I said softly, returning to my seat.

“I won’t ever deserve you,” he rasped. “Doesn’t mean I won’t try every damn second of every damn day. You’re special, never let anyone tell you any different. You’re a fighter, stronger than you think. No matter what happens, Izzy, remember that.”

“Forgive me, father,” I whispered under my breath. “For I have sinned…”

I really enjoyed this story. I understood why Bridge was apprehensive to help his (he was a monster with no redeeming qualities). Bridge was a great hero, but I didn’t always care for Isobel. I wish she would have stood up for herself a little more. I also didn’t like Julian, but know that Ms. Van Dyken will have a wonderful way to redeem him in the next book.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

I love Rachel Van Dyken's style of writing and I was intrigued by the synopsis for Stealing Her.

Whilst unrealistic the first title in the Covet series is full of angst and drama, and completely engaging and entertaining.

Bridge is a caretaker. He's a kind, caring and compassionate hero despite the deception he finds himself taking part in.

Isabel has learnt the had way that everything has a price. On the outside her life looks perfect, but really its a lonely existence lacking love, affection and honesty.

If you love a forbidden, slow burn romance that is quite controversial this is the title for you. It's raw, honest, steamy and full of twists nd turns and I will be eagerly awaiting the next release in the Covet series.

Bridge and Julian are estranged twin brothers due to their father keeping Julian and leaving Bridge and his mother behind. Now years later their father wants Bridge to pretend to be Julian to protect him. The only problem is Isobel, Julian's fiancee. She isn't told anything and a roller coaster ride ensues for all. I want to read the next book to find out what will happen with Julian.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

When Bridge is approached by his estranged father, a man he loathes by the way, his first instinct is to refuse any request, to not even speak to him. But his mother is sick, slowly dying, and it seems that is also the case with his twin Julian. The proposal is for all his mother's medical expenses, old and new, as well as money and stocks in the family company, the only stipulation is he has to become Julian. In every way. And no one can know. Not even Julians fiancé Isobel. He may hate his brother and father, but he did also promise to protect his brother, and his mother needs this. He never expected to feel anything for Izzy. Everything is so much more complicated than he ever thought it would be. And who is his brother really? Does it make him a horrible, evil person to hope he never wakes up? If it does than they may just burn together, because God help her, she feels it too.
It's emotional and funny, heartbreaking and full of delicious heat. I loved every minute! Five delicious and devious stars!

3 stars
I like RVD books. This one was different for me. It was like the Parent Trap with a twist. Twin brother's separated, one grew up with mom and one grew with dad. One brother is good and the other isn't.

Bridge falls for his brother's fiancé Isobel. And that is where my problem lies. Even though Julian is not a good guy, they are brothers. It was weird for me to get over.

Stealing Her is inevitable. Its impossible not to and for that even I feel guilty. It's wrong to covet your twin brother's fiancee. It's wrong to take over his life. You know and I know that it's a terrible idea and yet he couldn't say no.

Bridge couldn't do the right thing for the right reasons. You read that right. He did the wrong this with the best of intentions and is now living in guilt infested misery while also being the happiest he's ever been. Conflict of interest!?! Hells yeah it is.

It's also incredibly romantic and clearly going to make ever reader's day. What's romance with out some drama and angst!?! Sigh, Bridge is definitely the twin I'm sticking with but maybe you would like to explore your options. Rachel Van Dyken will have you eating out of the palm of her hand, doubting your morals, and falling hard for the "evil" twin.

This is a fantastic start to a new series by RVD. The blurb sucked me in, and I was hooked on the story. There aren’t many books I’ve read where the hero is posing as his twin, just a handful, so it’s still a fresh angle for me.

And man, Bridge was a good guy. He was so clearly torn over what he was doing to Isobel. Even though there was so much Bad blood between Bridge and Julian. This is not your classic forbidden romance. It’s full of twists and turns, heartache and heartbreak. RVD did a fantastic, wonderful job with this story!
