Summary
Lies and attraction abound when a savvy businessman posing as his twin and an oil baron’s niece battle over a family farm in this steamy romance from New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello。
I just found out I have an identical twin。 Wasn’t looking for one。 Would have preferred to not have one， but here we are。 We have nothing in common。 I was adopted by a successful businessman who raised me to see life as a game and gave me the skills to win it。 Him？ He is about to lose his family’s farm。 You heard me—farm。
Lucky for him， I’m a firm believer that when it comes to family， no one goes to battle alone。 I’m in。 I’ve switched lives with him and will use every business trick I know to save his farm。
However， my initial plan did not take into account a drop-dead gorgeous oil rep or the secrets I uncover about my brother。 And worst of all， I’m starting to like the farm and all its inhabitants。 I can’t stop thinking about that oil rep。 This will definitely take longer to resolve than anticipated。

Ooh what a read！Jesse and Crystal - what to say。。。 One started as arrogant and the other not so sure but soon it all changed。 I liked their story in spite of them falling hard for each other within few days off their first meet！The story line was interesting and the way it developed was good too。 We will get to know more in the next in series。Can't wait for Scott's book！ Ooh what a read！Jesse and Crystal - what to say。。。 One started as arrogant and the other not so sure but soon it all changed。 I liked their story in spite of them falling hard for each other within few days off their first meet！The story line was interesting and the way it developed was good too。 We will get to know more in the next in series。Can't wait for Scott's book！ 。。。more

This was an entertaining， easy read， just perfect when reading by the fire on a chilly afternoon。 Jesse started out as your typical arrogant rich guy but was soon changed， not just by Crystal but also by his twin’s farm （which was the last place that he thought that he wanted to be）。 From their first meeting， sparks were flying。 I liked that Crystal was very forthcoming and stronger than you thought that she would be。 I， also， liked that once Jesse realized that what he had with Crystal， he was This was an entertaining， easy read， just perfect when reading by the fire on a chilly afternoon。 Jesse started out as your typical arrogant rich guy but was soon changed， not just by Crystal but also by his twin’s farm （which was the last place that he thought that he wanted to be）。 From their first meeting， sparks were flying。 I liked that Crystal was very forthcoming and stronger than you thought that she would be。 I， also， liked that once Jesse realized that what he had with Crystal， he was pretty honest before furthering their relationship。 I can’t wait for Scott’s story， there’s more going on with him than we surmised。 I hope that Thane gets his own happily ever after， too。 。。。more

Such a good and quick read！ I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the story flow。 I like that Crystal was smart and empowered to make her own decisions， and really held Jesse accountable throughout the novel。
