I just can’t with this one. Incredulity, thy name is me. I love this series for what it is, fluff. Billionaire romances with some angst. Not groundbreaking stuff, but fun stories & worth the read. This one was a bit much.

We’re supposed to believe that Blake, a sexually active 22yr old man has sex with a virgin & it affects him so much that he doesn’t have sex for 12 years? And never tries to find her after a few months? He becomes a Senator for christmas sake!

Also, I have a problem with the whole, “we can’t have a baby, therefore we’ll never be a family.” There are options for women who can’t have children naturally. Harper even mentions that she wanted to adopt by herself, but we’re supposed to believe that she never considered adoption an option for her and Blake? Plus, there are many families that involve 2 partners & no kids. Un-freakin-believable!

This was not fun dumb, it was stupid dumb.

And, because I’m in a bitchy mood, I took one star away on Audible narrator for her not being able to pronounce irrevocably.

Blake and Harper had an encounter neither could forget or let go of ten years ago. Except she thought he was his twin brother Marcus, and by the time other events occurred to shatter her blissful happiness about their encounter, it was too late for Blake to be able to correct the mistaken identity, and he was convinced that he blew his only chance. Fast forward to Harper needing help from Marcus to rescue her sister from terrorists in Syria. Since she doesn’t seem to feel any more sparks between them when they meet again, Harper is convinced she is over it and can finally move on, but then the sparks fly when she spends time with Blake, and suddenly she doesn’t know what to do. When the truth finally comes out, they have a chance to reignite what was between them, but has it been too long?

This was a very sweet second chance romance, without really feeling like one. The reasons they missed their chance at the beginning happened so quickly, they didn’t really get a chance to explore their feelings for each other, and for years, she didn’t even know the truth of the encounter. They both changed a lot over the years, but when they reconnect, the spark is still there. It’s passionate and steamy, as well as touching and sweet as they find each other again. I’ll admit it’s a bit of a trope, the mistaking one twin for the other, but it’s not an unrealistic one. It works here, and adds a fun level of interaction between the brothers as well.

Another great addition to the series!

enjoyable liked the mistaken identity factor

Blake and Harper have the biggest misunderstanding of all time.
I was so glad they got to the bottom of it and found a way forward past everything that had come between them in 12 years.
Danis situation was a tough one to read about . I look forward to seeing how she recovers, and Marcus's role in it!

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I truly dislike how the author changed the narrative, in the middle of the series. Why is this in first person?
