My Review
My Rating: 4 stars
I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. This duet begins with Theo aka Derrick Arlington's body double. Theo is supposed to keep a low profile and just pretend to be Derrick for a month, except he gets assigned a bodyguard named Zia and sparks fly. The only problem when your pretending to be someone else and become romantically entangled with that person..the truth always comes out. We end the first book with Zia seeing Theo leaning over a injured Derrick. This book had angst, sweet moments and chemistry. Afterall, you can't expect Zia to automatically forgive Theo for lying to her. There is a push and pull with this relationship.
We do get to know Derrick and he is a complicated person. I love how Nana can tie up one couple's story so nicely while also ending on a small cliffhanger to introduce the next duet.
EXCERPT
Zia...
Liar.
Conman.
Duplicitous fuck.
As I leaned against the wall of the makeshift medical room we'd set up in the penthouse, I thought about the two versions of the man I had started to fall for.
Two versions of one of the richest men in the world. One of them was a billionaire, Derrick Arlington. And the other was someone I didn't know.
And currently, one of them was bleeding all over what looked like a massage table.
I'd fallen in love with a mirage. None of what I'd felt had been real.
As the doctor Royal Elite had on call worked to patch up Derrick, I watched them both. The resemblance was beyond uncanny. They were freaking identical.
No. You can tell them apart.
Right now, I could. But without the scruff and long hair, would I be able to?
I forced myself to take a closer look. To focus on what was different, what stood out.
For starters, Theo, or whoever the hell he was, had broken his nose. There was a slight bump in the ridge. It was barely noticeable, but it distinguished them. That and the eyes, that stormy gray, surrounded by thick lashes. They were the same shape and color, but Arlington's were a little closer together. Or maybe a little wider. It was hard to tell now as he had a cut above one and it was nearly swollen shut.
Heightwise, they looked about the same, but I couldn't be sure. They weighed about the same. And I only knew that because I'd helped drag Arlington off the beach with Theo, who had mumbled some bullshit about me not finding out that way. And sorry, sorry blah blah blah. If I was being honest, the shock had rendered me deaf and dumb right then.
But once the crisis was over, my voice was back, and I had a shit ton to say. Starting with Liar. Conman. Duplicitous fuck.
It didn't matter what form of explanation came out of his mouth. As far as I was concerned, he was full of shit.
