The book was good, I just found the initila premise kind of....dumb? Skip meeting your fiance for a horse race? It got a bit boring around the middle.

This is an interesting and romantic story. Phillip is a selfish forcibly engaged man who prefers horses yo people. Andrew is the twin who can't say no to him. But when Andrew is tasked with keeping Phillip's fiancée company during a house party, he falls in love with the lady. To say the lady was angry is an understatement. It's a very sweet story with a surprise ending.

This series gets better with each new installment. This one is no exception, full of great characters, an interesting plot and a little action. The story pulled me in from the beginning and didn't let me go until the end. So good!

This was a fun mix between Highlander romance and regency romance. I enjoyed most of the book, but thought the separation part was a bit too long and kind of boring after a while. I was scared the twin switch would go on for long, but luckily it did not

What a happy, fun read featuring a strong heroine! Her books are always a delight, and I think this might be my favorite yet. It’s a quick read, the story really drives you to turn the page to see what happens next. Low angst, low stakes story, but what a refreshingly strong heroine. You are really rotting for Eugenia and Andrew to figure it out.

The MacGalloways series, book #4 begins with twins Philip and Andrew plotting to switch places so Philip may go off to a horse race, missing the arrival of his betrothed when she arrives for a house party being thrown at their estate.
Eugenia is nervous and unsure of her engagement to Philip, having only met him once over 3 years ago when he was forced to ask for her hand to avoid scandal and her ruination.
Andre, reluctantly agrees to take Philips place, meeting Eugenia as Philip. As he entertains his brother's young fiance' he becomes increasingly uncomfortable with the ruse he is engaged in, especially after sharing a very hot, very forbidden kiss with Eugenia.
This was a very sweet, heart-touching romance. Philip is a cad, but Andrew more than makes up for his brother's shortcomings. Andrew is a perfect swoon worthy hero whom you can't help but fall in love with.
I liked the two leading characters, but Eugenia's sister and mother, I would have loved to smack both of them. Callous, Shallow, social climbers who cared nothing about Eugenia's feelings throughout. I could not stand them.
Overall a good, fast reading, characters that make you feel and a good plot-everything you need in a historical romance.
I will give 4 stars and recommend. Thank you to Oliver Heber Books and to Net Galley for the free ARC, I am leaving my honest review voluntarily. .

This is Book 4 of The MacGalloways series and it was such fun to read. Andrew and Philip are twins and have switched places over the years to suit their purposes. Philp is betrothed to Eugenia and she will be at the house party their mother is throwing. They have been engaged for three years and he has effectively neglected that betrothal until now and has no intention of acting the part of fiance. When Andrew loses a bet to his brother, he has to now pretend to be Philip and take his place and entertain Eugenia while she is visiting. And so the fun begins!
I really liked seeing the relationship that developed between Andrew and Eugenia and how protective he became of her. This was an entertaining and well-written story and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The characters were well fleshed out and likeable and I enjoyed getting to know them and following their story. A lovely addition to the series!

This was a funny story of how these twins sometimes have covered for each other but the looks are the only thing the same. The personalities are so different.
When Miss Eugenia meets Andrew posing as Phillip she ends up finding him engaging , which is different than when she first met him. But she likes him a lot. Then she finds out about the switch and she is devastated. At this point Andrew has already fallen for her and now what should he do. Thanks to Oliver Heber Books and NetGalley for the book to review.

Kissing the Highland Twin by Amy Jarecki is a Regency-type novel with a twist. Ever since they were children, only a few people could tell Phillip and Andrew apart. Their personalities were extremely different but they look identical. Phillip wanted to see one of his horses race at the same time he was supposed to be at his mother’s house party, spending time with the fiancee he had had for three years and never seen again after he proposed and he wanted Andrew to pretend to be him. Andrew wanted no part of it so he made a bet that he knew Phillip would refuse, but Phillip didn’t. In the few days they spent together, Andrew fell in love with Eugenia, as Phillip. She discovered it when she made an unscheduled visit to the nursery and Phillip’s and Andrew’s nephew was one of the few people who could tell them apart. As one might imagine, it didn’t go well. She ran. He followed her.

Eugenia made lace, good lace, and she wanted to try to make a living doing that. She never could to that as a wife, but she had a plan. Andrew surreptitiously helped her but it was interesting to watch her struggle. So many people who have wealth believe they can lived without money. It was harder than it looked. She did manage to get her business off the ground because she was a stubborn, well-written character who showed grit and courage. Andrew, unlike most men, realized he had to back off and so he did. It was a clever plot and although the conclusion was pretty much assured, there were plenty of twists and tuns to keep it interesting. A good book,.

I liked this book. I enjoyed the sweet romance that transpired between Andrew and Eugenia. While reading the book I knew that it would end as a happily ever after. The characters all were entertaining and a little crazy I thought, but what family is not? The story is a page turner for the historical romance readers out there.

This is a fabulous story of a twin taking his brother's place for a few days and gets caught. I felt so sorry for Andrew MacGalloway in this story as he was only trying to do a good thing so Eugenia Radcliffe wouldn't get her feelings hurt when her disinterested betrothed Philip would rather see his horse race her first race over meeting her at his mother's house party. In my opinion Philip MacGalloway needs to be cut off at the knees by whoever he finally marries. Over and over again Andrew is just trying to help Eugenia be safe and successful and she won't have it. It finally takes Philip pleading his brother's case and admitting to her he, Philip was wrong, for her to soften towards Andrew. I loved this story of forgiveness and trust.

Eugenia Radcliffe is a wallflower type who's mother manipulated events so Philip MacGalloway had to propose to her three years ago. Since then she's heard nothing from him. When she finally finds herself invited to a house party given by his mother, the Dowager Duchess of Dunscaby, she knows he'll be there and hopefully get a wedding date set. She finds Philip, who's really Andrew, she finds him changed. This man is attentive, talkative and observant. She's delighted in his company and they have a delightful few days. Then suddenly he's different at dinner that night. It's Philip as they've changed places. He's buttoned up, formal and stiff in her company. The next day when she stumbles on Andrew in the nursery saying goodbye to his niece and nephew does she realize she's been duped. She immediately packs up, writes a letter to her mother telling her to say she fell off a cliff to avoid a scandal over her breaking the engagement and leaves to make her way selling the lace she makes. Andrew immediately sets out after her when he realizes she's gone.

Andrew MacGalloway is a bit of a rogue and he and his brother have been trading places for fun since childhood. When Philip asked him to do it again for their mother's house party, Andrew doesn't want to. He doesn't think it will work. Finally makes a deal he figures Philip will never agree to. When Philip does, Andrew has no choice but to make the best of the situation and try to save Philips engagement. When he meets Eugenia he finds a beautiful woman that her family puts down repeatedly. She blossoms into a wonderful woman away from her mother and society's judgment. He doesn't mean to fall in love but he does. This starts Andrew and Eugenia's journey to forgiveness, learning to accept help and trusting the other.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Very often i am not fan of the switch of twins, mostly because it can lead to manipulation, thank god this doesn't happen in this book, she finds out and she gets angry, he explains and they move on the story. It's a good romance book.

There are many stories of twins who play the switch game, and this is a good one. Phillip and Andrew are almost impossible to tell apart, physically. The brothers do not share a personality. Andrew agrees to pretend to be Philip at the mother’s house party just long enough for him to see a horse race. Eugenia has been betrothed to Philip for three years but has rarely seen him. Something about Philip (Andrew) is different; he’s nice to her. When she discovers the ploy, she runs. Love is there, but trust is not. Now Andrew needs to find her, protect her, and convince her that they belong together. This is a well-written delightful story. Eugenia and Andrew make a charming couple. I love how this independent lady make the hero work to win her back. An enjoyable read.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily reviewing it.

You never know the trouble twins can cause, and in this case, a little switch brings on true love, if only the hero and heroine can come to terms with it!

As always Amy weaves a story that will tug at your heart. When Andrew pretends to be his brother Philip at his mother's house party, Philip's fiance Eugenia is suspicious when she if being treated very well. After all, she has been betrothed to Philip for 3 years and rarely seen him!

Unfortunately she finds out about the switch and runs to get away. But both of their hearts have been caught and if only Andrew can convince her of his sincerity....

Great addition to this fabulous series!

When Lord Andrew MacGalloway agrees to attend a house party, posing as his twin Phillip, he does so with good intentions. Though an inconvenience, he fully intends to make the event pleasant for Miss Eugenia Radcliffe, engaging her in idle chat, long, chaperoned walks, and dancing the appropriate number of waltzes. Except carefully laid plans when one is impersonating his brother tend to go awry, especially given identical twins are not exact replicas of one another as one is serious & one carefree. When Eugenia discovers Andrew is not the man to whom she is betrothed, she is humiliated and distraught. With no other choice, Eugenia renounces the engagement & flees. Andrew feels dreadful for this untoward turn of events and races after the lass, determined to save her from ruin.
It’s a while since I read a story of twin’s switching places & I thoroughly enjoyed Andrew & Eugenia’s journey to a HEA. I loved them both Andrew the carefree twin did show a sensitive side, which endeared him to me, Eugenia was a delight & I’m so glad she made Andrew work to win her even though I thought it went on a little too long. Of course twins swapping places is never going to end well but it makes for a very entertaining read
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

An enjoyable romance with the classic twin switcheroo that leads to lots of misunderstanding as these things usually do.. I liked Andrew and Eugenia and loved the chase that followed. However it did seem to drag just a tad in the middle with not too much happening. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Kissing the Highland Twin by Amy Jarecki
The MacGalloways 4

Not sure why memories of The Patty Duke Show popped up as I read this story, but they did. Perhaps it is the twin-lookalike thing even though Patty and her cousin were identical and not siblings. Perhaps it was their age that kept me from thinking first of the movie The Parent Trap. For whatever reason…I enjoyed both the show and movie and this book, too.

A game of chess, a wager, and twins swapping places is a setup for disaster and we know that going in but just how the disaster will play out and how all will be resolved is what this story is all about. Twins can look alike, might be able to play the part of one another for a limited period of time, would more than likely want to support one another, but when a woman and love enter the situation…hmm…

Philip is serious, reserved, horse-mad, a numbers guy, and probably will change a LOT if/when he finally truly falls in love. I do wonder what type of woman will appeal to him. Perhaps a horse-made female but then again, I am sure we will find out in his book when it is written.

Andrew is outgoing, a people pleaser, observant, and social. He truly ‘sees’ Eugenia and begins to fall for her even though he is trying to just play the part of his brother for a few days. The two brothers are close but perhaps not as close as they could be…I would like to know more about them and what their lives were like before this story begins.

Eugenia is quiet, tries to avoid confrontation, is undervalued by her mother and younger sister, and has dreams that she hopes to fulfill. She is unsure of Philip’s desire to marry and is setting up options for herself…just in case. I admired her for her willingness to step out on her own but wonder if she too readily made her move and might have benefited by a bit of talking before walking.

The disaster created by stepping into his brother’s shoes is eventually resolved and a happy ending is achieved, but the brothers are both put through a bit of trouble before everything turns out right for the happy couple.

Thank you to NetGalley, Oliver Heber Books, and the author for the ARC – this is my honest revies.

4-5 Stars

Good Read!

An enjoyable sweet read full of misunderstandings, love, romance and a HEA.

Lord Andrew MacGalloway had agreed with his twin brother to take his place when his fiancé arrived but fate had a twist and he fell in love with Eugenia. When his brother finally arrived and she found out he tried to explain himself.

Eugenia fell in love with who she thought was her fiancé Philip and could not forgive them both so she left to make a new life for herself.

Andrew followed her and just when he thought he’d lost her forever, she finally decided to speak to him.
Lots of ups and downs within the storyline, a bit slow paced until they finally get their HEA.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This historical romance was a delight. I love a strong female character and Eugenia filled that role to perfection.

Andrew's twin Phillip asks him to pretend to be him to go visit Phillip's betrothed - whom he has only seen once in 3 years. Phillip wants to attend a horse race instead and will switch places in a few days. Andrew reluctantly agrees and finds himself enchanted by Eugenia.

Eugenia is relieved that "Phillip" is spending time with her and feels her affection growing. However, when the real Phillip arrives, Eugenia has to make a decision...

When Lord Andrew MacGalloway agrees to attend a house party, posing as his twin, he does not realise the events that will transpire despite his good intentions. After spending time with Miss Eugenia Radcliffe, he seen finds himself captivated yet struggling to separate his feelings for her to doing what is right for his brother. When Eugenia discovers that Andrew is not the man to whom she is betrothed, she is humiliated and distraught. She flees Scotland, telling her mother that she can plan her demise, determined to be free from everyone. Yet Andrew is also determined that Eugenia will be found but he just needs to convince her that his feelings for her were real.
Andrew was such a contrast to his brother, that it was easy to understand how Eugenia was captivated from the start, and mortified that she was played for a fool. Her response to his behaviour is dramatic but in doing so, so her strong nature and determination to seek her own future. The journey that this couple has to go through is intense, and at times, I felt that Eugenia was a bit too stubborn or that Andrew was a very patient man.
