About Suz:
Suz deMello says, "I'm a cliche...A vegan yoga teacher from California who loves walks on the beach, cuddling her dogs and romance novels." But she's an award-winning, best-selling writer who's hit several best-seller lists, been short-listed for the RITA and reviewed by such prestigious publications such as Kirkus, Library Journal and Publisher's Weekly.

She currently resides in Mazatlan, Mexico, where she practices yoga, cuddles her dogs and walks on the beach every day. And yes, she's writing romance—this time, another Regency.

Colton Wilder didn't realize that when he went along with the facade Dana Newcombe was playing that it would entail just a sample of what she had to offer and an undeniable want for another chance with her. Colt knew the minute he saw Dana trussed up like her twin sister who she was, what he had not expected was for her manipulative sister to be the destruction of Dana's relationship with his brother, nor seven months later her twin and his brother walking down the aisle.
Dana just wants to get this wedding over with, she still has not talked to her sister since her betrayal and the ever present reminder of Colt and the unhinged desire she felt for just a few moments frequently creeping into her thought. Colt doesn't seemed to be put off by her curt behavior, in fact it seems to make his pursuit of her more intense. The problem is neither one of them expected to fall hard for one another, now that they have what are they going to do about it.
This is a truly fun read, Colt and Dana are a hoot. Colt is pure alpha cowboy while Dana is uber geek behind her glasses. The only flaw about the book is Nicole (the twin) and Max (the brother) relationship, it is a mess and yet the seem to never resolve the untrust between Dana and Colt with Nicole.

Oh my.
Well, this book was a bit of a mess. Incomplete characters and a wacky combination of romance, humor, and non-romantic bedroom/ elevator/ train/ and stable sex. A touch of cowboy, a quirt, and a spanking that was not sexy. You know, deciding to just stop and "do it" differently in the middle of "doing it" is not sexy or romantic or funny. But all that was better than the meandering pointless plot.
IDK. I finished it because it was kinda quirky-cute sometimes but it had too many problems to give it 3 stars. In the interest of not being totally negative, the author obviously has a voice, a personality that comes through. It needs organization tho.

Do opposites really attract or do they just repel each other enough that eventually they will find their way back to each other? What happens when opposite twins meet and fall for other opposite twins? The universe may never recover. Get out a score card and hang on because here we go!!
Dana Newcombe is an intelligent, successful woman who happens to be the twin sister of world famous model Nicole Newcombe. When Nicole asks Dana to switch places as a little test to see if Max Wilder is really the man for her to marry, Dana agrees. During their standard date of movies and popcorn, Max miserably fails his test. In the meantime, in walks rancher Colt Wilder, Max’s lookalike brother to try and rekindle a past spark that was interrupted between Dana and himself in an elevator.
As fate would have it, Max and Nicole find in each other what has been missing in all their relationships and Colt and Dana try very hard to ignore what is happening between them. What follows are parties, rehearsal dinners, wedding frenzy, intimate moments in the swimming pool, not to mention a train crash.
Dana and Colt are the ideal romantic couple fighting it all the way to the bedroom. Their moments together are comfortable and sizzling, sexy and romantic, heartwarming and heart-achy all at the same time.
Max and Nicole’s relationship takes some time to understand because of the opposite personalities. But that is what works to pull them together. Nicole is difficult to like in the beginning with her selfishness and scheming which is in direct opposition to Max’s caring, comforting personality. For me, Max was the one person you actually wanted to see successful. For a while you hope he will see the error of his ways but in the end you root for their happily ever after.
The pairing of Dana and Colt is just too good to ignore. Sometimes they are their own worst enemy and may cause their own undoing, but all the time there is that light of love in both their eyes. Colts relentlessness and Dana’s moment of stubbornness keep you turning the pages.
Suz deMello manages to keep the names straight and the action going throughout the book while making sure you choose your favorites and root them on. The balancing act is preserved throughout the story and there is never any confusion to what is what and who is who. Like I said grab a score card, keep track and enjoy a few hours with twins, hot men, steamy sex and lots of good fun.

It's really nice finding a book from this publisher that isn't completely about sex. There are definitely some steamy scenes in here so don't think there aren't parts to look forward to. But as another reviewer noted, the story gets a little choppy. Some of the storyline development feels, well, undeveloped. Overall, the main characters are likable and it's a nice read.

I really thought the concept of the story was good, but there was a little too much jumping around for me to really enjoy it. I felt there were sections of the book that could have been expanded and other parts that didn't necessarily add to the story.

While this book did have a few redeeming qualities, due to a lack of editorial contribution I would not recommend.
My Rating System:
* couldn't finish, ** wouldn't recommend, *** would recommend, **** would read again, ***** have read again.

It's not often that I run across a book that I honestly just don't like. The plot was a mess and the characters were all hos. I'm sorry. Dana and Nicole just pissed me off. Max and Colton pissed me off. It was just a hot mess of nonsense.

Hot and funny!
