Book Review- Out of Love (The Switch#2) by Ruth Cardello

   

General Fiction (Adult) | Romance 
 

Laughter and sparks set the stage for a fun romance from New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello about a farmer who switches places with his business-savvy twin brother and falls in love with the daughter of his brother’s biggest client.

I just found out I have an identical twin. I’d love the idea if he wasn’t an arrogant, overconfident businessman who is determined to save my farm even though I’m in no danger of losing it. When I agreed to switch lives with him, it was supposed to be for a couple of hours.

I was told to lie low, meet no one, and let him deal with the oil company that was sniffing around my property. I agreed to the switch only because it was the first time since we’d met that my twin had shown interest in my life, and I hoped it would give us a better understanding of each other.

Hours drag into days. I consider our initial agreement void and head to his office. I’m sitting at his desk, mostly minding my own business, when a beautiful woman blusters in, ready for a confrontation with my brother about an email. She’s the daughter of my brother’s largest client.

I only flirt with her to make her smile. What could it hurt to pretend to be my brother just a little longer?

I didn’t expect to uncover a plan to sabotage my brother’s company. I don’t want to believe that the woman I can’t get out of my thoughts and would love to get into my bed has anything to do with what I’ve discovered.

Save the company.

Save the girl.

I have no idea how I’ll do either, but when something is done out of love, it has to work out.

Monica and Scott were so incredibly different.  At least on paper.  As time goes on, you can see that they do have some similarities. Being highly intelligent was just one of those similarities. Both are also hiding part of who they really are, even from people that they love.  Scott is also dealing with me family members who really underestimate him and he has let them.  He's not sure that they are really on his side. Normally a trusting man, he's going to have to look at some people with a new perspective.  

 I have to admit that I had mixed feelings about this book because it wasn't my favorite in this series.  BUT, it did have parts that I liked so much that I just had to give it a good rating. Monica's Aunt Bibi was just one of those things that made me smile..often.  And Bibi's best friend, Deja who is describes as her ride-or-die bestie also made me smile.  The two of them together were a hoot!  And their 1-10 Rhyme was hilarious.  And Bibi was Team Monica all the way! I really enjoyed their relationship with all the laughs, love, emotional support and even some times Bibi had to be a bit stern. 

Towards the end, its easy to see why the title really fit this story.  I like when that happens. Speaking of ending this book did have a pretty good one.  With a door left open for another adventure in the series.
