It doesn’t get more complicated than sleeping with your twin sister’s boyfriend … unless he doesn’t even realize he slept with the wrong sister. But that was ten years ago and Rio Pascucci doesn’t do complicated—anymore. She’s as hard-working, straight-forward as they come. She put that mess behind her when she left her train-wreck of a twin sister back in Ohio. Now, independent Rio is unprepared for this twist. His name is Ian McCallister, and this is where it gets tricky.

Rio and Ian may have been born for each other but when the odds are stacked against you, are some things just too complicated to overcome?
My Review
I have read several books from Kathryn R Biel in the past, and I always find myself enjoying the stories. This one I really became invested in, and it’s definitely full of complications. It was fascinating reading about the hot and cold relationship between Rio and Ian, and the complicated past they share. The pacing of the story was great, there were plenty of plot twists to keep me interested, and the character development was excellent. There is a lot of romance in here and sometimes it did get a little drawn out with the back and forth between Rio and Ian, but overall, I highly enjoyed this story and would recommend for your reading list.
