To save my life, I agree to switch places with my indentical twin sister. I have no other options left, and my sister simply wants to disappear. But now I'm forced to live her superficial, luxurious life and make sense of her strange and complicated relationship with William Worthing. He's wealthy and brilliant and disturbingly attractive, and now I'm living with him and pretending to be my sister. She always kept him at arm's length, but the more I get to know him, the closer I want to get. The last thing I should do is fall for him, but I'm not sure how I can help it. Our whole relationship is built on a lie, and the life and man I desperately want will never truly belong to me.

I’m honestly not sure what it is about this series, but I’m really enjoying these characters! This is the kind of quietly emotional romance that Noelle Adams/Claire Kent does so well.
The twin-swap trope is handled well. Watching Jade navigate her sister’s luxurious, unfamiliar world while falling for a man she was never meant to be close to, was entertaining (and occasionally stressful).
William is guarded and complex, and the chemistry between them builds slowly but satisfyingly.

There’s a lovely emotional undercurrent throughout, and even though the setup involves lies, the relationship development feels genuine.

Another lovely novel from one of my favorite authors.
This next book in the Worthings series involves a Twin Swap. Something that I find just delightful and the way Noelle Adams took it on was unique.
Jade is asked to take her sister's place during her engagement to the wealthy William Worthing. Since Jade has been stalked and driven to the brink of sanity, she decides to take the roll as her twin sister as a chance for safety and a time to regroup. The only thing she isn't prepared for is the feelings she starts to have for William.
Because she's going to be asked to switch back eventually and it's going to hurt that much more the deeper she falls.
This was such a sweet romance. I love how Noelle Adams can do just the right amount of angst without pushing it over the top. Her short but sweet stories hit just the right spot for me. I can't wait to read the next one about Louisa and the family bodyguard.
4.5 stars
2.5 on the spice scale

The precursor to Jade and William's relationship is one I'd usually feel uncomfortable with. However, I found myself surprisingly invested from the beginning. I loved the way they slowly fell in love even as I was anxious over how Jade's truth would be revealed and William's reaction to it.
This is written from the heroine's point of view only and it was killing me not knowing what the hero was thinking. It definitely added a bit more angst to the story. This is fast paced but well fleshed out. The chemistry between this couple feels real and is absolutely electric.
I'm loving this series! It includes subgenres of romance that are seldom covered and are often difficult to enjoy. These, however, are written in a way that leaves me wanting more.

At this point, I really need a twins switch bookshelf, because I'm obsessed with this trope!
This was a nice and easy novella, although a bit secluded and closed off in its setting. Wouldn't reread it, but certainly a nice palate cleanser.

Noelle Adams has written some of my most favourite book couples, ones have have amazing chemistry, great banter (even when they argue) and some great sex, when she gets the couple and the story just right it’s like magic on the page and I lap it up, loving every single second of what she’s written.
Replacement was an okay read, but not one of my favourites sadly. I wasn’t really feeling the connection or the chemistry between Jade and William.
I will try the next book in the series though.

Replacement, the second installment in the Worthings series by Claire Kent, is a novel that can be read as a standalone. Featuring themes such as identity swap and an arrangement of convenience, Replacement is a novel that has a lot going for it.
The story begins when 27 year old Jade Delacourte agrees to the unthinkable; to switch places with her identical twin. It is not a choice made lightly; her twin wants out, and Jade is desperate enough to step into a world that does not feel like hers. Suddenly, she finds herself thrust into the luxurious but complicated life that her sister was leading, including a relationship with William Worthing, the enigmatic man her sister always kept at arm’s length. What starts as deception becomes something much more difficult when Jade begins to see, and fall for, the man behind the reputation.
William is not the sort of hero who reveals himself easily. He is brilliant, wealthy, controlled, and intimidating on the surface. Yet much like a rose, as Jade slowly peels back his layers, the vulnerable beauty hidden begins to show. His intensity is magnetic, but it is the quiet, surprising tenderness that makes him an unforgettable hero.
Jade, however, is the heart of this story—and her contrast with her twin is exactly what makes her stand out. Where her sister lived on the surface, driven by appearances and avoidance, Jade is grounded, thoughtful, and quietly wounded. She may not shine in glitter and glamour, but she does in a way William needed far more: in substance, in compassion, and in the way she listens and truly sees who he is.
Unlike her twin, when it comes to William, Jade instinctively leans closer, her empathy drawing out parts of him even he had buried. It becomes clear that what seemed like chance—the switch, the deception, was in fact the only way these two could ever find each other. She was always the better fit, the one who could balance his intensity with steadiness and warmth.
The pull between them is fueled by more than physical attraction. Every moment Jade spends in William’s world deepens her risk: the closer they get, the more dangerous the lie becomes. Their relationship is built on a fragile foundation, but the emotional honesty Jade brings into every interaction is what slowly transforms this fragility into something lasting. It is not her perfection that wins William, but rather her authenticity, the very thing her twin could never give him.
What I loved here was the sheer intensity of the romance. William is a hero who feels alive on the page; stern yet vulnerable, restrained yet achingly passionate once his walls begin to crumble. But it’s Jade who makes the story work, with her flaws, her choices, and her love. Together, they just feel right.
The story is taut, emotional, and sensual, with sex scenes that are not just hot but impactful, layered with the vulnerability and hunger that defines their relationship. By the end, William emerges as a memorable hero, and Jade cements herself as the heroine who was always meant for him, even if it took deception to bring them together. Arthur’s book, teased at the edges here, feels like it will be equally compelling.
Recommended for: Readers who enjoy identity-swap romances, intense heroes, and heroines who prove themselves not through perfection but through authenticity, strength, and heart.
Final Verdict: Intense, sensual, and beautifully authentic, Replacement proves Jade was always the better fit for William, the heroine who could finally make him unravel.

Twin swap? Yes!
At the beginning of this story, I really wasn't sure how it would work. Jade's sister was living with William. But it did! I loved this story!
I loved how we see Jade struggle with the morality of her feelings for William. She didn't want to fall for a man that wasn't hers, even if her sister didn't love him. Noelle Adams does such a great job with single POV and showing us the subtle changes in William. We can start to see how his feelings for Jade start to change. I thought the reveals were well done and the story flowed so well. This book had me hooked and I could not put it down.
I can't wait to start the next in this series!

Well, first time reading a Noelle Adams book. I'm used to reading her Claire Kent books and the same writing style was still present for this one. They're always so...pleasant to read. No real major angst, but an interesting plot. The twin swap/forced proximity thing drew me in, but unlike a lot of similar books with this trope, that frustration and tension that the h is lying about who she is to the H and anxiety at her being caught weren't there for me, fortunately. I think that's partially because you can see them building a relationship and part because the author strikes a good balance of subtly revealing to you ahead of time that the MMC knows the heroines secret without beating you over the head with it. It allows you to have that "A-ha!" moment. No third act break up which helps me believe in the strength of the relationship they're building, you never doubt they'll stay together afterward. Even though things did seem to always work out a little *too* well or conveniently, didn't feel that same level of annoyance I normally do, it felt satisfiying. I definitely can't wait to read another of her books.

Ridiculous and exactly what I wanted.
I’ve never actually seen a Lifetime movie, but I assume they’re like Noelle Adams’s books. Definitely her books like this one.
Noelle Adams/Claire Kent is my bitch. I don’t always jive with her NA pseudonym, I really have to be in a very specific mood, but I always love her writing style and her formula. This one really worked for me because it’s the secret identity trope, which I love, and the drama was pretty entertaining without being too crazy. Still a ridiculous premise, obviously, but fun if you just let go and try to enjoy it.
Note: I didn’t read the first book in this series because I don’t like age gap, especially dad’s best friend, but you don’t have to read the first book to understand this one.

i loveeee the twin switch idea so i was super invested in that but holy hell did this girl fuck things up for her sister omg. all she had to do was act uninterested? he was expecting nothing from her, it wouldve been so easy. she completely changed the dynamic and made it impossible for her sister to ever return if she wanted to. i mean obviously they had to fall in love for this book to be a romance so i get it but if i was the sister i'd be pissed too

this was good - noelle adams books are hit or miss for me and im happy to say this one was def a hit. it had a straightforward, easy to follow plot, and an angsty story. i like how this author’s books totally centre the romance. i wish there was a little
more depth to the story, but overall this book did what it needed to.

This is book two in The Worthings series and it is William and Jade’s story and omg it is definitely a must read. Jade left home when she was eighteen due to her father who was a nasty and mean man but her twin sister Amber stayed but all of Jade’s attempts to reconnect, talk and reconcile didn’t work but now Jade is in danger as she has a stalker who is getting so desperate that everything is now becoming so dangerous and the police doesn’t believe her and will do nothing so in desperation Jade once again tries to speak to her sister Amber who now wants to meet Jade because she has come up with a solution that would help them both but now Jade is sceptical as she knows that her sister is all about herself with no care for anyone else but unfortunately Jade is now desperate so she meets Amber to see what she has to say. When Jade meets Amber who is engaged to be married to William who is a very wealthy man she wants Jade to swop places with her because Amber needs a break away but Jade feels like so much could go wrong but unfortunately she doesn’t have much choice if she wants to stay safe so that is how Jade finds herself living her sisters life not knowing that this will completely change and effect Jade’s life in the future. There are many complications in Jade and Williams life that they will have to overcome but with the chemistry between them becoming so strong, intense and unable to be denied when they eventually give in to their feelings sparks fly all around them and off the pages but what will happen when everything is revealed, will it make them stronger together or will it tear them apart because of all the secrets and what will happen when Amber wants her rich life back, only time will tell what the outcome will be for them all. I really disliked Jade’s sister Amber as she was a complete manipulator and used people for her own good and gains and was only ever interested in money where as Jade was kind, caring, loving, supportive, compassionate and had a heart of gold and felt so bad because of what she was doing to William and I was so glad that eventually everything worked out the way it should and they both got the happiness and future that they both deserved. I absolutely loved this book and I read it in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down because I wanted to see what would happen next and the storyline pulled you in and had you turning the pages and also kept your attention throughout and I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing series.

Replacement plays with a tried-and true trope, twins who switch places. In this case, Jade needs a place to hide from her unrelenting stalker and his associates. So when her sister Amber unexpectedly reaches out after years of neglect, Jade’s willing to agree to her rather crazy scheme to pretend to be Amber so that Amber can escape a relationship she’s really only in for the money.
Both Jade and William are likable people, but your belief in this story is going to hinge on your acceptance of the switched-twins trope. In this case, I struggled with it. Jade is so different from her twin that she very quickly retreats to the things she loves in life: making jewelry and cooking (which is about all we know about her). Amber is set up to be amazingly superficial, in part to allow Jade to be able to impersonate her, but after a decade apart it’s hard to believe Jade knows enough about Amber to fake being her 24/7.
William didn’t really form as a character in my mind. He’s set up as a workaholic, but that’s it. The Worthing properties that are a focal point of the first book in this series are just a means to his job—we never even find out what work he’ll be doing when he moves to focus on a few businesses. He’s generally sketched, and other than being nice, he isn’t much at all.
Jade’s stalking situation is also pat—somehow her stalker is obsessed with her after a 20-minute conversation, to the point of moving a lot of pieces around to find her over and over. There’s really no reason why, since he’s basically a bogeyman figure.
What’s winning in this book is Adams’ assured writing style. It made the book accessible, particularly as Jade is a truly appealing character. But I felt removed from this couple and their story.

This is the right book if you're looking for a short read, probably 2 hours with some heartache!
Jade is our FMC here who is in a tough situation who not only has a stalker but also is trying to reconnect with her twin sister. When she finally gets a response from her sister, she gladly goes to meet her hoping to lose her stalker as well.
Fortunately or unfortunately, she does get a solution, it's just not something a person would go for but with the police force doing nothing, she agrees to switch places with her twin Amber and act like the fiancee of William.
Now, this is when the story becomes interesting because William is PERFECT. He actually is. He's tough but vulnerable, an absolute sweetheart, distant but understanding, I just connected with him and love love love him <3
Jade and William had a connection but William thinks Jade is Amber and that's the guilt Jade is carrying.. lying to a person so kind, whom she's catching feelings for...
I was constantly on edge, waiting for the shoe to drop but then caught on with what was happening and was so ever happy!!!
There's no drama between the two, Jade worries over William working too much, William is confused as to why Amber is suddenly so loving/kind(?). It's super cuteeeeee♡♡

When you hear the phrase "Communication is sexy". That's totally true in this novel!
Jade has an evil spoiled twin that she did not meet for like 10 years. Her twin finally reaches out to convince her to be the replacement in her engagement.
The twin claims that her fiancé is controlling. They have a practical arrangement.
Jade is going to pretend being her twin until the marriage so her sister can cash the money out of the arrangement.
Little did Jade know how soft and incredible William the fiancé is.
She feels horrible for lying to him and terrible after discovering bad things about her manipulative twin.
William is so smart that he was not convinced with Jade's ploy. And kept a close eye on her.
It was a very sweet romance. With medium angst. Very little spice and a lot of intimacy. The relationship felt so real albeit not so unhinged or passionate.

The twin switch duplicity is more than I can bear right now. Perhaps if Jade hadn't been estranged from her sister or if her sister wasn't toxic, it would go down easier but it's too far-fetched and Jade is doing a terrible job of impersonating her sister. That should be reassuring because I don't want William to feel betrayed—if he hasn't caught on yet, he definitely will soon—but I also don't see why he'd play along with this either
Characters: Jade is a 27 year old white jeweler. William is a white businessman. This is set in Washington, DC.
Content notes: past verbal abuse from alcoholic father, stalker, police abuse of power, substance abuse (secondary character), past death of FMC's father (they were estranged), alcohol, gender essentialist language, ableist language

this is fine, quick to read, and the premise is fun, but the romantic interest is so bland, a nothing character. can't tell a thing about his personality except a hammering of adjectives and pleasantries-- and so is their relationship, it is told they got to know each other and slowly fell in love but a lot of it is withheld from the reader. writing is basically "he discussed his work day with me during dinner and after we held companiable silence while looking at cityscape lights and sharing glasses of red wine. it felt so simple, nice and comforting to have a normal day without wearing a mask, pretending to be someone else – my brittle sister", which brings me to .

loved it
Noelle ADAMS books are always an automatic buy for me.
This book really was outstanding!
The relationship between William and Jade was amazing.
This book really took the time to extend the story past its conclusion. I loved that she kept us involved in their life for quite a while past a major revelation. So often books end too abruptly and add an epilogue. This book was perfect in its pacing and I loved all the extra intimacy scenes between the main characters. Some of her books only have an occasional scene, this book was perfection!
I loved William and Jade and am looking forward to for to Caleb and Louisa’s book.

I can safely say this is my favourite book of the series. Although I'm not a fan of twin sisters swapping places, this was is special.
Jade has a stalker and she's afraid for her life. Her socialite, selfish twin sister offers her the chance to disappear for a while by taking her place. The thing is she's engaged to William Worthing, but it's for a marriage of convenience, they've never even kissed. Jade is quite different from her sister, so she and William slowly start to fall in love.
What really made this book for me is that William realizes pretty early what's going on, and he's pursuing Jade knowing full well who she is.

Jade has found herself in a situation that leaves her with nothing to lose, so she agrees to swap places with her twin sister. They figure out the details of the swap very well, and most everything goes smoothly. The only real problem is that Jade is crazy attracted to William in a way that her sister was not. And it seems like he shares that attraction. Their relationship gets really complicated, and the twists and turns kept me reading. I had to know how everything would play out. I loved their connection, and the ending was very satisfying.

Another wonderful romance from Noelle Adams. After she attracts a stalker, Jade ends up switching places with her selfish, estranged twin sister, Amber. Amber is currently in a fake dating/contract marriage situation with William. Jade moves in with him and tries to keep him from realizing she's not Amber.
These books are like a nice, warm hug. The plots in this series feel like a Harlequin throwback in a good way. The storyline can be somewhat predictable, but I'm still sucked into it. The characters are likable, and I enjoyed every minute.

How I love Jade and Willian getting to know each other and their domestic sweet moments. Though the story is a little ridiculous and silly, the chemistry between H and h is too good.
But I have to say that it will be better if we got Willian's POV coz I find his character a little bit flat and I really want to know what he thought.
Anyway 4 star...

Jade needs to escaper her life and gets the perfect opportunity when her identical twin sister asks her to take her place in her fake relationship with William. Love how the sister’s description of her life and her feelings towards William didn’t match with what Jade found and her own impressions of William. Was great seeing her growing feelings for him and her trying to hide them as she pretended to be her sister. Well written and enjoyable.

I’d probably give this 2.5 stars if I could. I like Noelle Adams a lot. Actually, I like her Claire Kent stuff better. Noelle/Claire is an auto-buy for me. This was pretty boring, though. I thought it might be a little wild or zany since it starts out with Jade taking over her twin sister’s life. Crazy things are bound to happen, right? Nope. Nothing. Not even the stalker situation gets exciting/dangerous.

Another unbelievable trope which was done well by this author.
**spoiler**
The only part I had a real issue with is that the hero and the twin sister supposedly share a bed but have never had sex. Really? They’ve been in a relationship for at least months, probably years (because they were dating before becoming engaged), live together and share a bed, he wants to try having a real relationship with her, and they’ve never had sex. Call me cynical but I’m not buying 😒

I liked that this one is very different from other Nowlle Adams books. The trading places element added something that I haven't read before. I want to say from the very beginning I felt that Amber was selfish and very uncharacteristic of a typical twin. Jade, ugh...my heart went out to her, her love life is a mess, she truly is lacking a loving family and she is simply all alone. I loved watching William throughout, and while I suspected that he knew the truth, it was sweet to see the changes. I enjoyed the touch of suspense and the dash of chemistry. Looking forward to more in this series.

What a heartwarming story! Both Jade and William are lovely but desperately lonely people. They crave connection and, in Jade's case, physical safety. I rooted for them, hard, from the very first page. The book is from Jade's POV, but we did get a pretty good understanding of who William was and what mattered to him. I will be rereading this one for sure.

Replacement by Noelle Adams started strong and is the best twin swap story I have read. I did feel there was a bit of fizzle towards the middle of the book. I wouldn’t say it lost steam, but it lost a little of something in there. The big reveal about the twins wasn’t how I expected things to go done.
Overall Replacement is a well written, fairly sweet story and worth a read on a stormy day.
