This is the first book in a new series with a big start of setting the bar quite high.

Mistaken or fake identity is always something that I’m looking forward to read in romance stories. And this one touched quite a few topics while at it. I loved the instant lust and falling into love between them. The banter and chemistry were there at all times, and the steamy scenes set fire to those initial sparks.

Their dialogues about families and past and regrets tugged at my heart, but I loved how it made them so much lovable and beautiful souls.

Crystal and Jesse might have started that relationship with a fake step, but they worked through it all with building trust and love in the end.

A must-read new story from an author that everyone should try.
