Supposedly the hero was Thorn and heroine Olivia, but there were so many other characters and there story that at times you wondered why? are they here. Thorn and Gideon are twins, identical, so much so that even their own mother can not tell them apart. Gideon and Olivia are friends, yet Thorn does not care for Olivia. Thru mistaken identity Olivia falls for Thorn, and he does not admit who he is. Of course eventually it comes out. But there are so many unanswered questions left? And, I hate to read about attempted rape, just ruins everything for me.

This historical had the premise of an enemies to lovers, sort of, in the sense that the hero always seemed to be disapproving/ upset that he was not closer with the heroine compared to his twin brother.
However I felt that
1. there really wasn't that much back and forth between the H/h, I found myself almost scouring the pages for their interactions. When they did interact it was not fiery or filled with sassy banter, which is more typical of characters interactions within this Eto L trope.
2. I lost respect for the hero, probably because I am absolutely not a fan of love triangle romances. But his TWIN loved the heroine and then from seemingly no where, except for that small kiss as teens, the hero basically steals her away from his brother.

Ultimately, I didn't love the characters despite this being a promising premise for a book.

I found this book through netgalley. I love historical romance and the cover caught my eye. I haven't read the earlier books in the series, or anything else by the author, but I enjoy other books and authors from the publisher (St Martin's Press) and thought I'd give this one a whirl. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

And, as the two star review indicates, it was ok. While the writing had humor and the book had a fast pacing and lots of action, there was nothing new here. The plot was fairly predictable and requires quite a lot of suspension of disbelief. For example, some of the common writing tropes used are the wallflower with inner (and overlooked outer) beauty, the scheming widow, the absent father and brothers, the boy next door as hero, kidnapping from a nearly mustache twirling villain, etc. The biggest issue I had, though, was with the notion that even close friends and lovers could not tell a set of identical twins apart. They had a history of impersonating each other and meddling with ladies hearts as the other twin. I find that too preposterous to believe that a woman that is best friends with one can not tell the two of them apart. That is the main part where the suspension of disbelief was required.

If, however, the idea of twins posing as each other is titillating to you, then you should absolutely read this book! Just be sure to read the earlier books first. The list of secondary characters is quite long and they all go by multiple names, titles, and sorting out the relationships took quite a bit of mental effort.

This book was alright for me, I've been binge reading a lot of Regency Romance novels lately [blame it on the winter,] and this one was just "Alright."

Now, admittedly I've never read the prior books so all of the characters that were tossed into this book meant little to me and on top of it just served to confuse me, I could gather the hint that what transpired with these characters had something to do with prior tales. The end result for me was just confusion and frustration, because I wanted to know about the characters in THIS story and cared very little for all the supporting ones.

The book did have potential, but it was lost on me, sadly, Justin "Thorn" Netherwood the Earl of Kempthorn is the twin to Gideon, who recently has returned after his leave of absence. Thorn is a serious man, with a strong opinion and though he grew up with Miss Olivia Lydall, he was not her favorite - Gideon was - and her senseless, reckless behavior always seemed to irk Thorn.

Flash forward numerous years and he's still put off by her senseless behavior, but he now sees her beauty and soon feelings begin to develop so he decides to pose as Gideon to convince her to love him [Thorn.]

The entire thing was just "ok" to me, I wish I could give it a higher rating, but aside from the frustrating bits of where there were too many cooks in the kitchen, Olivia just annoyed me rather than amused me. Gideon was by far my favorite but even he couldn't make this book superb in my mind.

As with every other book that I have read by Alexandra this one is a breathtaking romance with heart stopping peril, truly extraordinary characters and a story that is truly witty and lushly sensual. Thorn is a true Romantic Hero, he is handsome, strong, smart and a wicked rake. He has always had control over his sexual urges and has gone months at a time without a woman when he is immersed in other aspects in his life. Until he encounters Olivia a woman he knew as a child. She has grown up into a beautiful woman and of course she is again with his twin brother Damian, just like when they were children. Only now he does not want to avoid her anymore. She is intriguing and their is something that draws him in..

Olivia has always been friends with Damian and avoided Thorn. She always felt like he was judging her and finding her wanting in everything she has done or said. The biggest problem is that Thorn and Damian are identical twins and Thorn uses that to his advantage to woo Olivia.

The situations that they find themselves in are funny, inappropriate and scandalous.
Alexandra is a truly gifted writer who knows what romance readers really enjoy.
She has the talent to show how life was lived in this period of time. Her dialogue is funny, romantic, smart and a joy to read. What I enjoy most about her books is her impressive original plots and the passion she puts into every word. This is a must read.

Received a complimentary copy for an honest review.

Thorn and Gideon were identical twins. Even adults, people around still had a hard time figuring out who was who, including their mother.
However, for a more observant person it would be easy to identify one from the other.
Thorn, the heir, Earl of Kempthorn, was more serious, didn't indulge in pleasures so easily and seemed to harbor a dislike of his childhood neighbor, Olivia.
Gideon, the second son, who had spent several years away from home in search of his own fortune, was more expansive, playful, and adored Olivia. Maybe she was the only person he could be himself.

At the welcome party offered to Gideon by his mother, Gideon only felt fine when he was able to be alone with Olivia on a boat trip. But soon Thorn appeared, with all his arrogance, and what was to be a pleasurable afternoon, ended up becoming the three of them falling into the lake.

Miss Olivia Lydall, six years younger than the twins, loved to play on their property. Having lost her mother at very young age, she felt better in the company of the twins, much more in Gideon's presence than in Thorn's, of course.

Now Olivia was about to get married.
Her father, Baron Dewick, was betrothed to Lady Grisdale, a disgusting woman, who made a point of showing Olivia's flaws at all times and how hard it would be for her to find a good husband. Not wanting to cause any confusion with her future stepmother, Olivia was silent. But Gideon and Thorn soon realized the situation.
The twins took upon themselves the duty to protect Olivia not only from Grisdale's attacks, but from any ill-intentioned London male.

Thorn heard from his brother the confession that he would go away again. Knowing of the friendship between Gideon and Olivia, Thorn suspected that the girl knew Gideon's plans and decided to discover everything. However, in this dangerous game, Thorn realized the beauty that Olivia kept hiding, her strong genius and personality challenged him and the presence of predators made Olivia become, in Thorn's eyes, a rare jewel that he would do everything not to lose ... nor even for his twin brother...

I had read other historical romances with twin brothers, but this was the first I saw two brothers fighting for the same woman. Would they have different reasons? It doesn't matter! Thorn felt challenged to have the love of the woman whose friendship with his brother made him feel excluded for years.
Olivia loved the Netherwood brothers (more Gideon than Thorn), and although she never imagined herself having a romance with Gideon, she felt unworthy to have anything else with Thorn, after all, she was simply the daughter of a Baron, while Thorn was an Earl and would inherit a marquisate from his father one day.

Many are the intrigues in which the couple is involved, and Thorn more than ever has to overcome his pride and show Olivia his feelings. But before that, they would have to get rid of some harpies, and show that the Ugly Duckling had become the most beautiful swan...

5 stars

A good historical read. This is a fast paced historical read with plenty of drama and suspense. I liked Thorn and I found the story entertaining, as with others I question how she couldn’t tell twin brothers Thorn and Gideon apart. I really love this series and recommend reading the others in the series, I will admit this one was not my favorite, however I will continue reading more in the future. An entertaining historical read.

If your historical romance catnip involves dashing twin brothers, smart country lass, mistaken identity, amusing banter and interesting secondary characters, this is the book for you.

Alexandra Hawkins always provides guilty pleasure historical romances. The heroes are generally wicked and the heroines headstrong to stand up to that wicked hero. This book was no exception. The interactions between Thorn and Olivia were delightful. I couldn't wait for the next interaction because they completely threw each other off-kilter. And let's not talk about the sexual chemistry between these two. Even when they were arguing it was off the charts. But it wasn't the H/h that made this a 4 star instead of a 5 star review. It was the sudden disappearance of Thorn's twin, Gideon, and the ending.

I adored this book right up until the last page. I had questions about what was going on with Gideon, but I could overlook those as we made our way to Thorn and Olivia's HEA. The ending did me in. It was kind of abrupt. Olivia and Thorn make-up, she asks when they are going to wed and he says when he finds Gideon. No one had been worried about Gideon before and his disappearance shouldn't impact you getting off the grass and at least get closure with Olivia's father. It was kind of "Hey, he already agreed and after all that's happened we're just going to do our own thing." Given the events that had just happened, I would have liked the closure with her father...even if we weren't getting their wedding at the end.

All that being said, if you are a lover of historical romances you must pick this book up. The banter and chemistry with these two characters more than make up for my dislike of the last page.

You can always count on Alexandra Hawkins to keep her readers and characters on their toes and Waiting for an Earl Like You, book three in her Masters of Seduction series, does just that!

Justin Netherwood the Earl of Kempthorn, Thorn, has always had complicated feelings for his neighbor Olivia Lydall. When the two are brought together as adults Thorn can no longer deny his desire for Olivia, but a past history of undermining and disregarding Olivia by Thorn has put her out of his reach. Resorting to using the identity of his recently returned twin brother, Gideon a close friend of Olivia, Thorn's relentless seduction begins.

Ms. Hawkins' indisputable fabulous writing is prominent in Waiting for an Earl Like You. This author's expertise at turning rogues into heroes came through loud and clear in this work. No one knows how to redeem her rogues just enough to allow not only her heroines but her readers to fall in love with them like Alexandra Hawkins. The warring desire of the Thorn and Olivia kept a steamy undercurrent going throughout the story and coupled with more than a few moments of danger, charm and sensuality this book is a great addition to The Masters of Seduction!

I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.This book tells the story of Olivia Lydall, who has been neighbors and friends with Lord Kempthorn (Thorn) and his twin brother (Gideon) since they were children. Being the heir, Thorn was forced to devote more time to his studies and less time on enjoying his youth, plus his arrogance always made Olivia wary of him, so it was Gideon that she was close with. After Gideon returns home after spending time at sea, Thorn sees Olivia for the first time in years at Gideon's welcome home party. And during the evening of the party, when Thorn comes across Olivia in a secluded setting and she mistakes him for Gideon, he dances with her under the stars and kisses her. But can Thorn convince Olivia to kiss her while he's himself? Or is she in love with his brother?
Overall I liked some parts of this book. There were a couple twists at the end that I didn't see coming and were good surprises in the plot. I have to admit, though, that this wasn't my favorite book by this author, the plot line just wasn't appealing to me. I didn't like that no one in the book, not even the heroine, could tell the twins apart. And there was a piece at the beginning about an old lover of Thorn and Gideon's, and I thought it was pretty gross that they were sleeping with the same person at the same time. And what the hell was Gideon's problem? Jeez that guy was cranky through like the whole book and we never really find out what was wrong with him. And Olivia's father was a neglectful jerk who never has to apologize for that fact for some reason. Just in general, the men in this book all seemed like they were being led around with their penises and I thought they could've used more time thinking with their brains instead. I think this book would've appealed more to readers who like a bossy hero in their historical romances.

I adore the regency romance subgenre - it has a lot of my favorite tropes: the marriage of convenience, the abundance of roguish rakes thrown together with the oft-overlooked spinster/wallflower/bluestocking, the self-made American upstart seeking a prim & proper heiress, etc. etc. But my goodness, it can be rife with some really unpleasant sexist, misogynistic messages and unfortunately that's what prevented me from enjoying this particular story.

The synopsis is misleading, for starters - it suggests that Olivia innocently approaches Thorn believing he is Gideon and that Thorn takes advantage of that mistake. Nope, our 'hero' deliberately approaches as Gideon, knowing full well she wouldn't give him the time of day as himself, and flirts with her before stealing a kiss. This happens not once, but MULTIPLE times. The synopsis also suggests that he falls for her while he's masquerading as his brother, presumably because he gets to know the ~real Olivia~ and yet their major interactions involve him swaggering up, acting familiarly with her and taking liberties with her. There isn't much opportunity for him to 'deepen their connection' when he's solely occupied with pressing kisses upon her.

We're lead to believe that Thorn is contriving to keep Olivia and his brother apart for Gideon's own good, and yet no solid reason is given for that. The brothers behave more recklessly and buck society's conventions more than Olivia does, so his motivation to deceive her as to his identity doesn't even have an altruistic basis. If there was a misunderstanding that made him believe Olivia was a gold-digger or to suspect she'd lead Gideon astray, that would make his charade more understandable, but we're just supposed to take it for granted that he has a good reason to behave as he does with no basis for it. So he's extremely hypocritical for trying to keep Olivia and Gideon apart, while throwing himself in her path and trying to seduce her at every turn when he doesn't care for her at all.

There are a couple instances where Thorn behaves decently to Olivia and made me warm to him (even though that's a very low standard to hold him to - NOT being a jerk), but then he reverts to type, for instance, when he rips the bodice of her dress because he thinks it's hideous!

"There was a harsh tug and the sound of ripped fabric. Olivia gasped against his lips as the night air seeped between them and cooled her flesh.

"A fitting end to your ugly dress. Have your maid toss it in the rag bin in the morning."

She glared at him in disbelief. "You kissed me so you could get close enough to ruin my dress?"

Then he condescendingly tells Olivia that if she's a good girl, he'll take her shopping and advise her on a more flattering gown. Surprisingly, she's not thrilled at the notion!

"Do not behave like a silly goose, Olivia. You could benefit from my advice. (...) Don't forget to get rid of that dress."

"I will do what I please."

"Careful, Olivia. Wear that dress again and you will not like the consequences."

"How will you punish me? With a kiss?"

"Perhaps. Or I might spank you."

What a bastard! That might seem like flirty banter, but my view of his threat is colored by a) the fact that he just DESTROYED HER CLOTHING in the most arrogant, douchey manner possible because she wasn't dressed stylishly enough for him and b) the fact that when she was a CHILD, he actually did spank her for the mortal sin of climbing a tree!

Muttering a curse, he had grabbed her by the waist and hauled her off the tree limb. When her feet had touched the ground, he had done the unthinkable. He delivered a hard smack to her backside and told her that he would use his father's horsewhip if he ever caught her dangling from another tree. His fury and rough handling had frightened her. Her backside burning from his hand, she had kicked him in the shin and ran back to to her father's lands.

We're not given Olivia's age on this occasion, but Gideon is six years older than her - since she's described as a young girl, she may have been about ten at the time, which puts Gideon at around 16. What business does a teenage boy have dragging a child out of a tree and HITTING HER?!

What's worse is that we find out later that Thorn has a history of masquerading as his brother around Olivia - he was her first kiss when she was twelve and he was EIGHTEEN. W. T. F. Not only was he always overbearing and ill-mannered even as a teen, but he's been trampling all over her ability to consent her whole life!

His brother stared at him in disbelief. "She believes I kissed her."

"Well, I could not kiss her," Thorn countered. "She would have slapped Lord Kempthorn. She actually likes you so she is more forgiving when you misbehave."

"When I kiss a lady, I want to be the one who does it. Not you."

Thorn nodded, accepting that he deserved his twin's anger.

Oh, okay, so he knows he's wronged his brother - but no thought to the lady involved in this mess! Because she is, after all, Thorn's property and belongs solely to him, which is why he can feel free to interfere with the possibility of her forming relationships with other men who might actually have some respect and treat her with the courtesy she's due! Not the man who responds to her rightfully setting him in his place or sassing him by lunging at her and trapping her in his arms, caressing her against her will and then blaming her for provoking him.

Overall, I have a ton of issues with the 'hero' of this novel and loathed him too much to be able to invest in the romance which is central to the plotline. I pitied the heroine for being shackled to him and even buying into his toxic behavior, thinking she deserved the way he treated her. In terms of positives, I will say that on a technical level, the writing is skillful, the characters are lively and three-dimensional and it is a quick read (thankfully).

What’s it About?It’s a case of the ‘ol twin switcharoo in Alexandra Hawkins’ latest novel! Justin Reeve Netherwood, Earl of Kempthorn a.k.a. Thorn doesn’t care for the relationship between his twin brother Gideon and Miss Olivia Lydall. The two became friends when they were younger and as adults are still very close. When Olivia finds herself in need of advice she naturally turns to Gideon, only she doesn’t know it’s actually Thorn and he uses it as an opportunity to steer her away from who she believes is her childhood friend.


The problem is, the more time Thorn spends masquerading as Gideon, the more he sees Olivia’s true character and the more Olivia starts to fall for him. Now Thorn is stuck between telling Olivia the truth and ruining everything between them, or risk her finding out on her own and yup, ruining everything between them.



Describe the hero in five words: Loyal. Cunning. Seductive. Stoic. Arrogant.

Did you like him? I definitely liked Thorn.

Why? As arrogant and high handed as he was for interfering in his brother’s friendship with Olivia, it did come from a good place. Thorn thought he was protecting his younger brother from a person he falsely assumed was no good for him. He wasn’t completely wrong though. Olivia wasn’t right for Gideon but she wasn’t beneath his notice. Bless his heart, Thorn made everything so complicated for himself when it didn’t have to be and watching him untangle his own mess and be humbled by his feelings for Olivia was worth the moments I wanted to strangle him for his stubbornness.


Describe the heroine in five words:Witty. Headstrong. Resilient. Loyal. Optimistic.

Did you like her? Yes I did.

Why? Olivia is a fierce character. Despite Thorn’s obvious disapproval of her friendship with his brother, she continued to seek Gideon out. I liked that she wasn’t easily intimidated by Thorn’s title or his intimidation tactics. She didn’t let Gideon get away with his teasing either, she gave as good as she got. Olivia’s personality was so lively, and so spirited that I felt she brought life to the scenes she was in. To me she was part mischievous child, part passionate woman, with a dash of vulnerability thrown in for good measure and her vulnerabilities made her more likable to me.


How convincing were the main characters as a couple?Thorn and Olivia lit sparks off of each other every time they were together so it was inevitable that the antagonism would turn into passion and later, love. I will say that I loved the little twist at the end where Thorn revealed something to Olivia about their childhood that had me going “Aww, that’s so romantic!” That was a particularly great way to close up Thorn and Olivia’s romances.


Is there a “Scooby Gang” worth mentioning? I missed the previous book in the series (That sucks) where I gather quite a bit happened and so my head was kind of spinning with all the characters in Thorn’s life and their connection to the characters in the first book in the series. That whole loud, brash group was likable though and I liked the blunt way they spoke to Thorn because again, the guy was so arrogant and used to being obeyed that he needed friends like these to knock him down a peg or two.


How “Lost” did you get in the story? I read this book within two days. From the moment I met Thorn, Gideon, and Olivia I was hooked on their dynamic, specifically how different Olivia was when she was with Gideon compared to Thorn. I got caught up in their relationships with each other that before I knew it I had finished the entire book. It was more than just the romance, it was the relationship between the brothers that had me curious. They were twins yet they were estranged and seemed angry at each other and I just had to know why.


Click It or Skip It? Given how dark this series started out, Waiting for An Earl Like You is significantly lighter in terms of the way Thorn and Olivia’s relationship progresses. The complex dynamic between the two was one of the best parts of the book so I would say Click It. Also, I’m a big fan of Alexandra Hawkins’ work.

As always I want to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing us with a copy of this book so that we could bring you this review.

I don't even know where to start with this book. I loved it so much. I so enjoyed the interaction between Thorn and Olivia. There was so tension between them, and then to find out that some of the past that they share, it was just perfect. I wanted to cry and go through the book and hold on to Olivia and make things better for her. I can't wait to see what happens with the rest of the Masters of Seduction.

I give this book 5 seductive kisses...

Happy Reading... Adri

I enjoyed this book so much! I loved the story and characters developments. It was so fun to see the twins fighting over Olivia attention and love! Alexandra Hawkins is a very talented author and I will be looking forward her next book!!

FINAL DECISION: This book was fine, but I never felt compelled to find out what happened. The story moved too slowly to build up interest and the premise of twin switching without the heroine knowing the difference seemed too unlikely unless the men dressed identically all the time.

THE STORY: Justin Reeve Netherwood, Earl of Kempthorn nicknamed Thorn has a twin brother Gideon. The two have been at odds for years. Now that Gideon has returned from his travels, a woman from their childhood has returned to their lives. Miss Olivia Lydall has been friends with Gideon for years. When she seeks him out asking for advice, Gideon kisses her instead. What Olivia doesn't know is that it is actually Thorn who is kissing her. Thorn can't tell her but intends on nudging her away from any potential interest in Gideon. Unfortunately for Thorn, he wants her for himself but can't tell her the truth.

OPINION: The premise of this book interested me, but the execution left me finishing the book but having little interest in reading more.

The idea of a man impersonating his twin and falling for a woman while he becomes twisted in his own lies seemed intriguing as a premise. But the execution of the story left me stopping and starting this book and instead of being wrapped up in the story, I started nitpicking it. I never got past the idea that a grown man could impersonate his own twin brother again and again -- while the two men were in the same place. I kept thinking that either these men strangely dress identically as adults or the heroine must be incredibly unobservant.

I never could care very much about these characters. The idea of the reserved, brooding brother being in love with the woman who has a friendship with the reckless more open brother seemed interesting, but I didn't like Thorn much for how he was entirely willing to impersonate his brother. He didn't seem as heroic because it seemed that he had no good reason for doing so other than the fact that he and his brother have switched before.

This was an okay read. The story itself was well written and there were some very funny moments, but it isn't a book I would pick up again.

WORTH MENTIONING: There are appearances by characters from the other books in the series.

CONNECTED BOOKS: WAITING FOR AN EARL LIKE YOU is the third book in the Masters of Seduction series. I have not read any of the other books in the series. This book works fine as a standalone.

STAR RATING: I give this book 2 stars.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in order to provide a review. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions contained herein are my own.

'Waiting For an Earl Like You' by Alexandra Hawkins is book three in the "Masters of Seduction" series. This is the story of Justin Reeve Netherwood, Earl of Kempthorn 'Thorn' and Miss Olivia Lydall . I have read the other books and they do have some of the previous characters in this book but I do feel it can be a standalone book. I have loved this series so I haven't wanted to miss any of the books.
Olivia is best friends with Gideon who is the twin brother of Thorn. Olivia has never been able to befriend Thorn as she never seems to do anything correct for him. Thorn doesn't really understand his brother friendship with Olivia I thought. Thorn ends up pretending to be his brother when Olivia first goes to 'Gideon' for advise. So once Thorn starts with this deception in hopes to deter her from his brother Thorn starts to see a whole different Olivia.
"My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."

I have to say that I am truly sorry that I didn't get the chance to read the first two books of the "Masters of Seduction" series by Alexandra Hawkins. After reading this book I am sorely tempted to find out more about the history of these lovable characters.

I fell in love with romance by reading regency novels. And even though I tend to read more contemporary and erotica now, I still love the era and all the rituals and courtship that makes up a regency romance. Just to steal a single kiss is tantalizing and exciting and when you have an aristocrat like the Earl of Kempthorn who seems to be proper and stiff from the outside but is the complete opposite between the sheets, well, let's say that it just can't get better than this!

Justin Reeve Netherwood or Thorn, as he is known to his friends, is determined to find out what prompted his twin brother Gideon to leave his family and country for all these years. Even though Gideon may be finally back, he just can't seem to keep away from their lifelong friend and neighbor, Miss Olivia Lydall. Olivia, Thorn and Gideon have known each other since childhood. But Gideon and Olivia have always had a special bond that, even though Thorn is loath to admit it, has bothered him. On a mission to find out his brother's secret and keep Olivia away from his brother, Thorn finds himself quickly falling under her spell.

Oliva Lydall has always shied away from the stiff and proper Earl. She know that his every remark is disapproving and every glance condemning, but when she sees a side of him that she never expected, she knows that he is the twin that makes her heart beat.

I have to say that I am not a fan of siblings pursuing the same woman or man, but I feel that Alexandra Hawkins handled it tastefully without making it feel weird or awkward. I have a guess as to what is troubling Gideon and I truly hope that it will be revealed in the upcoming book. Can't wait to read more about the Masters of Seduction and the women whom they seduce ;)

Waiting For an Earl Like You was a beautiful tale about never judging a book by its cover and Not everything is black or white. Justin “Thorn” Reeve never cared much for Olivia “Olive” Lydall or so Olivia thought. Thorn concealed his feeling for Oliva so deep that he began to believe it himself. I enjoyed this title a lot. Especially the interaction between the two main characters.

Seeing that this was book #3 in the Master of Seduction series and I began this book with this title, I didn’t feel that I missed anything and the story flowed nicely. The title had a nice pace and a well-developed storyline.

A well balanced emotional story. This is about Olivia who mistakenly asks the wrong twin to help her get the man she wants, Thorn agrees, hoping to steer her away from his twin whom he can't understand why he's friends with her....even while she thinks it's his brother she's getting help from all along? It's a good plan, until he realises she's not what he thought she was and falls for her, As for Olivia she can't understand, how all of a sudden she has fallen for her friend, it's as though he's as completely different person.
