Publisher's Summary:
How tangled can a romantic web get?
When gruff mountaineer Dominic Hartington-George seeks sponsorship for his latest expedition, his London PA insists on a more media-friendly profile - like dating celebrity supermodel Zeb Z.
Zeb can't make the date, so he asks his identical twin, Aidan, to stand in for just one evening. Aidan, a struggling playwright, shuns the limelight to the extent people don't even know Zeb has a sibling, but he reluctantly agrees.
When the deception has to continue beyond the first date, Aidan fights to keep up the pretense. Dominic likes his sassy, intelligent companion, and Aidan starts falling for the forthright explorer. But how long can Aidan's conscience cope as confusion abounds? Will coming clean as "the other twin" destroy the trust they've built?

Fun and funny story, disappointing narration
This felt more tongue in cheek than some of the other Dreamspun Desires books. Both MCs felt a bit more like caricatures than authentic people, though they were fun and interesting.
I was a bit disappointed that we didnt get to see more of the melding between the supposed model and the mountaineer that definitely wasnt the focus. Most of this was the banter between two pretty cantankerous individuals and then battling the paparazzi.
Its very British and I love that! I also really liked the soft approach to dealing with Doms father issues.
I never got a great feel for Aidan and what he wanted/needed, and I wish we could have spent more time with him and Dom as a couple where everything was laid out and honest. (Especially before the ILYs)
It was a fun and funny story with some clever and unique plot twists but I wasnt as compelled by the romance between these two than I had been in other Dreamspun books. Id recommend it for a fun/funny read especially if you love British humor!

This wasnt horrible, but it wasnt good either. That was my impression after listening to this narration by Rusty Topsfield. Ive definitely enjoyed his narrations in the past, and like with Duke in Hiding he did a passable British accent. In this case he gives none of the characters accents, despite the setting. He also tends to lilt upward at the end of his sentences, even when its not a positive statement, and that can be distracting. He didnt do much for my overall enjoyment, and I was disappointed by the lack of accents, but I think he does a nice job with emotions and timing and it wasnt a bad narration, overall.

Fake Boyfriend...Twins Switching...Great Story!
Fake boyfriends, twins switching places, a sweet struggling writer/director matched up with a gruff mountain man...yeah, there was no way I was going to not read this. What I got was a fun, entertaining story with a nice dash of heat and just the right touch of angst, something I can easily recommend to any M/M romance fan out there.
My favorite character was so easy to pick for this story--Aidan gets this, hands down. He's so sweet, fiercely independent, and just wants to do the right thing by everyone involved. I loved watching him come out of his shell when filling in for his brother-it really built his own confidence-and found myself with my fingers crossed hoping that the whole pretending-to-be-his-brother act wouldn't totally doom things between him and Dominic.
