The Imposter & I

Rate this book

Escape into a fantasy romance full of emotional intensity, secrets, betrayals, and a possessive Alpha hero.
JulietI was a struggling barista in a small coffee shop in the Big Apple. One day a woman dressed from head to toe in designer gear came in with a job offer for me. A very unusual job offer.
I thought about saying no.
I really did. But how could I refuse such an offer?

To start with I didn’t have a hope in hell of ever earning that kind of money, not even if I worked my butt off for years. Three months of my life was all I had to give up, and the best part was, it wasn’t even illegal.

All I had to do was pretend to be some rich dude’s wife.

In exchange, I would be paid an insane amount of money and step into a fabulous life of luxury. I'd get a brand-new designer wardrobe, have access to a black American Express credit card, and be able to take my friends out to lunch in the most exclusive restaurants and gorgeous spas. And the best part… I wouldn’t even have to sleep with the rich dude.

It was the most amazing, most incredible thing that had ever happened to me.

So, I said yes. I’d have been mad not to.

But like everything in life, there was a catch.

And the catch involved the rich dude…

The Imposter & I is a steamy, dual-point-of-view, standalone romance with fiery passion, unforgettable love, and a well-deserved happily-ever-after ending.

To start with, I didn’t have hope in hell of ever earning that kind of money, not even if I worked my butt off for years. Three months of my life were all I had to give up, and the best part was, it wasn’t even illegal.

All I had to do was pretend to be some rich dude’s wife.

It was the most amazing, most incredible thing that had ever happened to me.

As soon as I read the blurb for this book, I knew I had to read it!

Juliet is approached by a woman, Carolyn, at the coffee shop she works in. Eerily enough, they could pass off as identical twins. Carolyn offers Juliet a unique job, one that could literally turn her life around. The job itself? She wants Juliet to impersonate her for the next three months in exchange for $200k.

Even though Juliet has been pre warned about the current family dynamics in the Bessant household, she definitely wasn't prepared for animosity from them. Juliet soon comes to realise that Carolyn never made an effort with her family and wants to rectify it. However, this was always meant to be temporary but Juliet can't help but fall in love with Carolyn's family... Especially when it comes to her husband, Blake.... 👀

Juliet was such an adoring character who couldn't help but charm everyone she met. Blake automatically senses something is off with her, but can't quite put his finger on it. I loved how he suddenly became infatuated with 'his wife', and was falling for her all over again. Juliet and Blake's connection was instantaneous, electrical and oh so hot! The yearning and angst between them? 😮‍💨 My goodness! I was also anticipating the time when all the secrets came unravelling (this surely kept me on the edge of my seat) and when it did... You sure bet I didn't see that ending coming!

Although this book sadly isn't one of the best I've read from Georgia, I still found this book highly entertaining to read.

Once I started The Imposter & I, I just kept going and didn’t want to stop. I got pulled in so quickly, but that happens with Georgia Le Carre's stories.

Georgia Le Carre is one of my favorite authors, love her stories, so I had a feeling I’d enjoy this—and it definitely didn’t disappoint. She really knows how to pull you in, and this had that intense, addictive energy right from the start. The tension and mystery kept me guessing, while the emotional connection made it even harder to put down.

The chemistry between the characters was strong and full of that push-and-pull that keeps you hooked. Their dynamic was emotional, a little messy, and just really engaging to follow. I loved how everything unfolded and how their relationship developed along the way, they had off the charts heat.

The writing flowed so easily, and before I knew it, I had read way more than I planned. It’s one of those books where you sit down for a bit and suddenly you’re halfway through without even noticing.

I also liked that nothing felt too predictable—there were always little twists and moments that kept my attention. It had that perfect mix of drama, tension, and connection that makes a story hard to put down.

This was a great story, it has that page-turner feel that just pulls you in and doesn’t let go. I really enjoyed it. Georgia Le Carre did a great job with this one. I'd suggest reading it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars!

Thank you, Georgia Le Carre, Great work on another Great story :)

The Imposter & I is an amazingly well-written story. It was original and I couldn't put it down.

Juliet works in a coffee shop. She is barely making it when a woman, Carolyn, comes in and offers her a large sum of money to trade places with her. There are a few differences in their bodies so Juliet agrees to look like the woman and live her life for a few months. The woman is married to Blake and has a young step-daughter. She has a rich lifestyle.

When Juliet becomes Carolyn she goes to the home and assumes Carolyn's life. Juliet soon discovers there are things that Carolyn did not reveal to her. Carolyn is not well-liked by her family. She doesn't get along with her mother-in-law. She and Blake have a distant relationship. Juliet's true personality begins to come out because she is such a good person. The staff treats her differently after that. Blake notices the changes and becomes more attracted to her.

I loved how Juliet was such a good person. She was a great character and loved family. I loved the chemistry she had with Blake. Their story is filled with suspense and twists. You don't want to miss this one. Highly recommended. I look forward to more from this very talented author.

This book was exactly my type of contemporary romance. I mean WOW!!! I can’t recommend it enough! The whole wife impersonation scheme pulled me in instantly, but it was the tension, the secrets, and that feeling that everything could fall apart at any second that kept me on edge.
Juliet stepping into a life that isn’t hers, trying not to mess up while slowly getting attached… it was so intense to read. And Blake: the catch… total alpha… the sex appeal!!! From the very first moment they meet, you can feel the sparks, the tension, the buildup… and when it finally explodes? I was blushing. Those scenes were hot, steamy, erotic, and so vividly written. I also loved the family aspect; it added warmth to the story, and seeing how his mom, his daughter, and even the staff reacted to the change in “Carolyn” and slowly embraced her made everything feel deeper and more emotional. The slow burn, the emotions, the spice… everything was perfect for me, and that constant fear of the truth coming out, right when things started to get good, had me stressed the entire time. My heart was racing, just waiting for everything to unravel. This gave me everything I love in a romance. 5 stars, no question!

An unexpected romance that will tear at your heart!
I fell in love with Juliet who is asked by Carolyn, a woman who looks remarkably like herself to pretend to be her for three months while she regroups in Europe. With the help of Juliet’s best friend, they do a pros and cons list and guess which list is longer? Yet, the moment Juliet falls into her role, her newfound family is nothing like as was described to her and some important facts were left out. Juliet can’t help herself but become the wife, daughter-in-law and stepmother that the Bessant family needed while fumbling through her character’s role. Blake senses something different from the start when the Carolyn lookalike enters his office, but he can’t figure out what. When given the chance to seize the moment, the two tumble in to a night of passion that sets the sheets on fire. When the night of the gala arrives, the passion between Blake and Carolyn is still smoldering, but the unexpected scare of Blake’s mother sets Juliet into a tizzy with Carolyn’s real reason for the swap. How will it all end? You have to read to find out!

Juliet is offered a good deal of money to take the place of a wife for 3 months while Carolyn Bassant takes a break from her cold husband Blake and the mother-in-law and stepdaughter who hate her. There will be no problems because they live apart in the same house, all Juliet needs to do is be a place holder.
Easy money, until it isn't, Juliet lives in terror of doing or saying the wrong thing, none of which is helped by not understanding why Carolyn hates her family so much. The deal is becoming nearly impossible to stick to as Juliet discovers the real people behind the picture Carolyn painted. As he time for the two women to trade places again approaches, it becomes obvious to Juliet that, not only does she not want to give this new life up but Carolyn has more in mind than just walking back into her life and letting Juliet walk away.
A steamy love story born of deceit Blake and Juliet will set your pages on fire.

The Imposter and I is the newest steamy Contemporary romance from author Georgia Le Carre.
Just about to lock up after a long day at work FMC Juliet is shocked when a woman walks into the coffee shop who looks exactly like her, and then offers a large financial payment for Juliet to impersonate her for three months so she can get away for awhile.
This turns into an entertaining story when after agreeing to the ruse Juliet steps into Carolyn Bessant’s life.
With no plans on falling for MMC Blake the estranged husband who suspects something is off about this new version of the wife he was divorcing, but is now experiencing chemistry with on a daily basis. Juliet fights the growing attraction, but its losing battle.
I enjoyed this nicely written story that was filled with surprises, passion, family dynamics and eventually leads to an intriguing little twist of an ending.

March 16, 2026
I was instantly intrigued—who wouldn't want to get two hundred thousand to pretend to be your doppelganger for a few months? The only catch is she's married with a family ... what could possibly go wrong?!

Juliet is everything her double is not: kind, caring, considerate. I was on the edge of my seat wondering if the observant Blake and his family would pick up on the vast differences. It felt like a ticking bomb until someone uncovered the truth. The flirty humor, sweet family moments, and extremely spicy scenes made this book irresistible. It was so good I dropped everything and it was impossible to put down.

You'll love Juliet(Carolyn) and Blake's story.  Wow, what a cute story that was hard to put down.  Juliet, who is a barista, is overwhelmed when she is offered a large sum of money to be Carolyn's doppleganger for three months.   What could go wrong? Three months of black card shopping, fine dining and living a life of luxury.    Plus there was no requirement to sleep with Blake.   The story is told from a dual point of view, which is nice.  A slow burn romance and it was amazing how much everyone liked the "new" Carolyn.  What happens when the three months are up and Carolyn wants to come home?   What a good book that ends with an epilogue and an HEA you'll like.  I received a free copy of this book via Bad Boy Updates and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book was wild. Talk an about an original story. Carolyn approaches Juliet at her job one day and asks her to take her place for three months. For a sum on money she couldn’t deny. They looked practically identical. So she did. What Carolyn failed to mention, was that she didn’t get along with her family, and her and her husband basically just tolerated one another. To keep this short. Juliet was such a wonderful person, the family came around to “Carolyn” seeing another side of her. As did the staff and Blake. He fell in love with his “wife” all over again.
The twists and turns were wild. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I absolutely loved this story! It was amazing. A definite must read.

Juliet works in a coffee shop and is struggling to make ends meet. One day a well-dressed woman, Carolyn, enters the coffee shop at closing time and makes Juliet an offer she cannot possibly refuse, $200,000 to impersonate her for 3 months. Juliet notices that under Carolyn's flawless makeup she looks just like her. Carolyn claims she needs a break from her workaholic husband, step-daughter and mother-in-law. Juliet desperately needs the money and agrees.

Juliet is kind-hearted, gentle and compassionate, everything Carolyn is not. This well-written, page-turning story took me on a suspenseful journey filled with twists and turns I never saw coming. Another great read from Georgia Le Carre.

Juliet is a barista and is surprised by a woman one day at the end of her shift. The woman asked her to pretend to be her for 3 months and she pay her good money. Juliet was unsure about it but ended up accepting because she needed the money. However, nothing could prepare her for what she was walking into and how very different she was from the woman she was pretending to be. Blake and his family notice the differences in his wife, but they figure she is up to something. Will Juliet be able to pull off the impersonation? What will happen when the real Carolyn wants to come back?

This book had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

Juliet (AKA Carolyn) and Blake, a sometimes complicated story of an awful woman who ‘employs’ Juliet to impersonate her ie be Blake’s wife. No more on the guts of the storyline so as to not give spoilers.
This is an emotional tale, involving the main couple, his young daughter and his mother. Juliet, being herself manages to get the household to like her.
Both Juliet and Blake are likeable, he in particular comes across as a really good bloke.
I also liked Juliet’s best friend Emma who was great at calming her down.
Medium spice level, good conversation and a romantic HEA epilogue (or two).

We all have a double somewhere. Would you be willing to give up your life for their's?
Juliet needs to make this decision. Of course we all know Carolyn's, her double, intentions aren't as innocent as she portrays.
This is a story that will have you turning the page to see if Juliet can pull this off.
Will Blake and his family realize she's not the real Carolyn. What happens when they realize she is the imposter?
You'll definitely get into this book. You'll be surprised that they don't realize the difference between the two women, or do they?
And Juliet is a bit naive in not realizing Carolyn might have ulterior motives.

Juliet is propositioned to impersonate a woman that looks exactly like her for an insane amount of money. When she agrees a new path begins for her because Carolyn was a villain who was not liked by the people she is infiltrating. When she goes off script flaws show having Blake, his mother and daughter seeing her true self and when Carolyn's true reason for having Juliet to impersonate her comes to light lives become endangered. This story is filled with drama that had me all caught up in the main characters from start to finish.

The Imposter and I - It's really the Billionaire and the Imposter

Juliet is working, close to closing time when a very finely dressed women walks in and shocks, because it's like looking at herself in the mirror. The woman introduces herself and offers Juliet 200,000 dollars to take her place for 3 months whilst she recouped herself. She tells her that her husband is a workaholic, so she won't see much of him, she has a 5yr old step-daughter who is annoying and an interfering mother-in-law.
After weighing the pros and cons with her best friend, she decides to do it. Then everything that she thought would happen doesn't, and things become very complicated.

Scorching hot

Hold your breath hot, scorching hot! One of the many best books of the incomparable Ms. LeCarre. Enough intrigue to hold your interest, and a whole lot of spine tingling intense moments that makes you shiver & hotly bothered. 😉 The love the story of Blake & Juliet/Carolyn, the heat and attraction that constantly sizzle & crackles whenever they're near each other is scorching hot! I find it so sweet that especial endearing moments between Juliet/Carolyn and her sweet stepdaughter, Freya, made this story even more beautiful. I hope Ms. LeCarre writes more of love story like this. Well done, Georgia! 👏 ❤️

This story is brilliantly well-written. This is Juliet (imposter) Blake (Husband) and Carolyn (wife) story. This begins when Juliet who works in a coffee shop, meets, Carolyn, who offers her a large sum of money to trade places with her for 3 months. They look similar so Juliet agrees. But soon Juliet discovers that all has not been revealed! Carolyn was not particularly liked within the family, can Juliet last the distance? Wil her true personality shine through? Will she be discovered as an imposter? All this will be revealed once you read! Brilliant book!!!.

'It was the most amazing, most incredible thing that had ever happened to me.
So, I said yes. I’d have been mad, not to.
But there was a catch.
And the catch involved the rich dude…'

The characters were very complex and compelling and complicated and perfectly steamy together. Plot was intriguing and intense and well paced. World building was solidly drawn and impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

This is page turner and nail biting story.
It’s hard to put down after you started reading.
From the first chapter we know who is who and what is going to happen.
It’s not that simple because you will find out that the truth is not always as is seems.
Romance is spicy, wonderful characters and is very well written, so enjoy reading.
Just cancel previous arrangements,no reason to stop reading.

The Imposter & I by Georgia Le Carre blends deception, desire, and high‑stakes tension into a story that moves with purpose. Juliet’s agreement to impersonate a billionaire’s wife draws her into a world where charm masks sharper motives. What begins as a simple role spirals into something far more dangerous, exposing motives that change everything between them.

3.5 Stars for The Imposter & I by Georgia Le Carre

I found myself skimming thru this read as I couldn’t really connect to the story or characters. Juliete and Blake I liked separately but not really till the end of the book did I like them together. Expect deception and betrayal ..

This is an outstanding story. Best book I’ve read this month. Georgia, your storyline is exceptional, you are a great writer. This book is exciting, tantalizing, page turning and mind blowing.
Excellent job. An unusual plot, no surprise one night stand baby (:I’m so over those,)
No third act break up, but angst and amazement.
