If this book could talk it would scream cliche. Not a bad thing in this case. The story while predictable is a great little escapism tool. Glass of wine in the bath. Great read to just relax with and be whisked away for a few hours.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Starlight Publishing LLC for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Th I is my first time reading this author. I wanted.to like this book, but couldn't quite do it! I did like Abby, but there were so many odd things! They have a house full of art and they never thought to get it appraised?? Why lie? I was frustrated with her twin for being so superficial and uncaring. I rate this book a 3.

Abby is the good twin and Gabby is the bad. She goes out and parties and Abby is the responsible one. Gabby becomes an assistant to Hudson, a rich man, who works in his family’s business. When ‘ flighty’ Gabby takes off, Abby is the one left holding the bag. They are about to lose their house, Abby gets laid off, and she’s jobless. So when Hudson shows up, Abby goes as Gabby. They are going to Paris to talk to a client and hopefully wrap up the contract. But Abby has no idea and just wings it. When Hudson finds out Abby deceived him, can he forgive her?
Fair story but it drove me crazy when Hudson, in his point of view, has him calling Abby his assistant, then his lover, and then Ms. Levesque, it gets a little aggravating instead of just her name. The same with Abby calling Hudson Mr. Quinn and the next sentence Hudson.

This was cute but a little cliche. It was definitely predictable, but well written. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

I received a courtesy copy of this book through Netgalley and I liked the story very much. The plot is very simple but in my opinion very romantic. It’s the story of a billionaire who drags his personal assistant to Paris to close a deal being unaware of the fact that he is working with the wrong twin. Abby, on the other hand, in need of money, accepts to be swept away on this trip with her sister’s boss because she actually doesn’t know where her careless sister is. I could say more but I don’t want to tell the whole story. I just want to say that Abby is the one that captured my attention most. Unlike her selfish twin she is a very caring and disinterested girl. Hudson, the male character got initially on my nerves because he just acted like a douche. Fortunately he will score points at the end just like I hoped when I started reading this book.

You have the responsible twin, in this case, was Abagail “Abby” who life seems to always bring her down. When she thought she was ahead of the game another life issue happens. Gabrielle as the one who loves attention, no responsibilities. While reading The Bad Twin a movie came to my…Deceptions starring Stephanie Powers. Twins deciding to change places for a few weeks. Though in the movie one of the twin dies, just happy that these twins had a different outcome.
I really enjoyed this book. A nice relaxing read. Not much drama, but a little misunderstanding for sure. Plus, it sparked a high reaction from me when the truth comes out, and not the pleasant kind.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

2.5* rounded down. I requested this novel because the title and premise amused me. However, despite the story containing elements reminiscent of the plots of Heyer's "Devil's Cub" and "Pretty Woman" there was no humour here at all.

Things I liked:

1. Abby and her enthusiasm for Paris and her desire to make the best of things.

Things I didn't like:

1. Hunter and his attitude to women (and since he was the hero, this was a big issue for me).

2. Gabrielle (Abby's twin) who was selfish, flaky, malicious etc (whatever the plot required at any given point) and also Hunter's father, whose character also mutated at will.

3. The aforesaid lack of any sense of fun.

4. The epilogue - if he had pulled that trick on me, I would have pushed him out of the plane.

5. The way Abby accepted at face value the fact that their inherited house had a loan shark mortgage on it (is that even a thing?) and never took proper legal advice, and indeed allowed the loan shark to give her advice.

Disappointed.

This was just what I needed, a quick read with some spice, drama and a HEA at the end. It actually reminded me of the Harlequin serial/monthly romances I used to read when I was younger.

Beautiful, destitute h with a heart of gold? Check!
Handsome, man-about-town jerk millionaire H who used women for his own pleasure until he meets the h? Check!
Exotic location, in this instance, Paris? Check!
Rich H hires h, who at first flubs everything, but then not only makes things better, but also helps the H to realize that yes, he CAN love and in fact, he loves HER? Check!
Fall in love and in bed, not necessarily in that order? Check!
Unsafe sex? Check!
BIG secret that causes hurt and separation of the lovers, but wouldn't have been an issue if honesty was introduced earlier in the story? Check!
H and h can't forget one another, no matter what, so they have the HEA? Check!

If I hadn't known this was written now, I would have sworn this was an old Harlequin monthly release. Not a neg, sometimes you just want your predictable two hour read to an HEA and this book delivers that.

To be honest, I thought with all of the unprotected "best ever" monkey-jungle love that there was going to be a second "big secret" and it was going to be she was preggers with his baby, but that did not occur.

All in all, a satisfying read and what I expected. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4, because the secondary h had actual character growth and I am hoping that there is a second book that follows her path to her own HEA.

Recommended for those who like contemporary romance with spice and drama. It is well written for what it is, definitely worth a read.

My thanks to NetGalley and Starlight Publishing, LLC for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

Loved this book!! I read it all in a day because I couldn’t put it down. Very well written in a voice that is clear with direction.

*NOTE: I was granted an ARC of this book by NetGalley. The review below is entirely my own opinion.

I've always liked books about twins which is why this book appealed to me. But I didn't like either twin. I also didn't like the H all that much. (Something about him came across as being a little too douchey for me as it was implied that he also slept with his previous assistant.) Sorry but this wasn't the book for me.

This is Abby and Hudson’s book, Hudson is a angry billionaire who needs to pick up his flaky but sexy assistant at her house because it seems like she’s forgotten their trip to Paris! When he gets there he’s wondering what a wrong with her that she can’t remember anything they talked about?! Little does he know it’s his new assistant twin sister! Abby needs money bad to pay off her grandmothers home so her and her twin don’t loose it! When her twins new boss shows up to pick her sister up she steps in so her sister doesn’t get fired! It doesn’t hurt that her boss is sexy lol this book was really good! I was pleasantly surprised! It was hot!! And the story was really good! I definitely recommend reading this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
