Reader beware...this is book two!! I wish I had known ahead of time, but now that I know the ending of their story I don't want to read the first book. It would be like reading the last chapter first.
The story is about twins who are separated as infants and aren't aware the other is alive until thirty something years later! Book two is a great quick read that I would definitely recommend, but try to get the first book and read in order!
4 Stars! ~ Dex figures it should be a breeze filling his brother Ty's boots, until he has to saddle up and mount a horse. And Ty never told him about the stunning beauty, Leanne, that lives in the ranch beside the Coopers, nor that the family wants Ty to marry her. Dex is sure that he's not going to be able to fool the family long, esp. when his four year old niece is sure the aliens have taken Uncle Ty. So when Leanne recruits him to help her at her place, he jumps at it. But Dex is having a hard time keeping his hands off the woman he's sure belongs to his brother.
Ms. Webb is always a favourite of mine. I love the way she makes Dex struggle with his conscience, esp. over Leanne. Dex hadn't realized what family really meant until he came to the Cooper ranch, and no woman ever got under his skin like Leanne.
Although the books could stand on their own, I found they were wonderful to read back to back. I think both authors pulled off this difficult plot rather well.

My grade: C+. Debra Webb writes in several different genres. I'm familiar with her single-title romantic suspense books and wanted to check out one of her series romances. It's about twin brothers who were raised ignorant of the other's existence. When they accidentally meet they decide to trade places. I'm going to read the other brother's story, too.
