This book was so much fun. If you're a fan of The Princess Switch or Parent Trap then you'll love this spice twin romance.

Rowan, a former model turned designer, reluctantly agrees to impersonate her supermodel twin sister, Willow, in New York after Willow's unexpected pregnancy. In the city, she meets Eli, Ben's brother, who mistakes her for Willow. Despite initial complications, Rowan and Eli's relationship blossoms as they bond over shared interests and confront their pasts. As they navigate their feelings, Rowan questions her identity and Eli grapples with family expectations. Ultimately, they find strength in facing their fears and embracing their true selves, leading to a satisfying conclusion.

This was an interesting concept to read in romance. I wasn't sure how it was going to be pulled off, but the author is a good, strong writer who definitely made it work in unexpected ways. The second book might be a bit more challenging in that aspect, but we shall see.

No lie, I initially found the man female protagonist, Rowan, rather insipid, and at times, grating. But as she grew more confident, I warmed up to her (but it took me a while).

I liked Eli considerably more, and if this hadn't been a twin swap story, I might have liked to read him with Willow instead! But he is exactly the kind of main male character that I enjoy reading.

The romantic chemistry and tension was undeniable though. The deception definitely added to that tension.

On the whole, I enjoyed the story, concept and relationship. My sightly lower mark mostly reflects my feelings about how the FMC was written, which is more of a personal preference then a reflection of the writer's ability as a story teller!

Thank you Harlequin & Net Galley for an opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest review.

Very good book. Rowan and her sister, Willow, are identical twins. They were modeling sensations when they were younger. Willow still lives the glamorous life of a supermodel, while Rowan walked away several years ago. She now lives quietly in a small Cornish village where she designs clothes. When Willow shows up at Rowan's house asking for a favor, Rowan can't say no. Willow has parted ways with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ben, and has discovered she's pregnant. She needs a quiet place to work out what she wants to do and asks Rowan to take her place in the city and pretend to be her. This way, no one knows that Willow is gone.

When Rowan arrives at Willow's apartment in New York, she finds a strange man there, which triggers a panic attack. Eli, who is Ben's brother, helps her through the episode. Eli is surprised by Rowan (who he believes is Willow). She is not what he expected, which creates a conflict within him. He is attracted to her, but she is his brother's ex and, therefore, off-limits.

I enjoyed watching the relationship develop between Rowan and Eli. Because Eli had never met Willow, it is easier for Rowan to portray her sister while retaining some of her own personality. I liked Rowan's interest in Eli's charity and how she got involved. Spending time together working on his project brings them closer together, but Rowan feels guilty about not telling him the truth. Meanwhile, Eli senses that she is hiding something. Both have issues stemming from their pasts that affect the way they see themselves and their relationships.

I liked seeing the changes that being together brought about. Rowan looks at her current life and must decide if she has been living the life she wants or has simply been hiding. Eli faces his doubts about his place in the family and his relationship with Ben. I liked the ending and seeing them face their fears. Rowan finds that she is stronger than she thought, and Eli discovers that there is a place for him after all.

I'm looking forward to reading Willow's story. I can't wait to see if Ben redeems himself or remains as big a jerk as he was in this book.

Grown up twin swap.

I really enjoy Sophie Pembroke's writing. This time, it features adult identical twins swapping places. Its an interconnected duet. Rowan, the camera shy twin is hiding out in Cornwall for the past six years. Until her more flamboyant twin sister shows up. Willow is pregnant and hiding out from her on again, off again boyfriend, Ben. Ben's brother is Eli, whose parentage is questionable, hence, no love from his pops.

Rowan, despite many, many misgivings owes her sister and agrees to pose as Willow.
Eli has his own ambitions and that involves Willow (being portrayed by Rowan).
What tangled webs we weave.
Can't wait for Willow's story, though I could really relate more to Rowan (and Eli).
Recommend.

When her supermodel twin takes a break, small-town Rowan steps into her sister’s glitzy NYC life. Charmed by tycoon Eli, Rowan attends a charity gala. Will Rowen’s Cinderella story unravel in the spotlight, or lead to an unexpected happy ending?

This is a cute, fun story. Rowan is relatable, and Eli is sweet. They have strong chemistry from the beginning. The book is emotional and uplifting.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Cinderella in the Spotlight is an entertaining tale of two sisters who swap places and the repercussions that occur. I throughly enjoyed the well written plot. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my ebook. This is my unbiased review.

Engaging twin switch. As one would expect problems do arise when participating in a swap. Not necessarily the ones that would first come to mind which adds to the intrigue of the story. A quick enjoyable read. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

Twin swap with a happy ending. Supermodel sister switches places with sister that quit that lifestyle.

Thanks for the temporary ARC to review Net Galley.

This was a fun and fast read.
I loved seeing Rowan gain confidence in herself and leave her shell.

I need the second book. I need to know Willow’s story.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin romances for a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.
