This is the second in the books about twin sisters who were separated at birth without knowing. They meet in an airport lounge and are both shocked to meet their mirror image. Both are disillusioned with their lives at that point, and decide to swap places for six weeks. The previous book covered the story of Natalie who had been raised by her mother and was the PA of a billionaire Achilles Casilieris. Taking over her sister's life meant she became a temporary princess. Her story is told in the previous book The Prince's Nine Month Scandal. I found that book to be rather rushed in detail. However this book, which tells the story of the 'princess' sister who takes over Natalie's PA job with the billionaire Achilles Casilieris. However, despite Achilles quickly realising that the woman who returns from the restroom is not the woman that went in there, but her exact lookalike and that there has been an exchange, he finds himself so intrigued by the new woman that he keeps quiet waiting to see how soon she admits to the deception. A quick search of the internet elicits the name of his 'new' PA, and over the next few weeks, the attraction between them culminates in a full blown affair. Valentina realises that she is in love with Achilles, but that she has to return to her life as a princess with an arranged marriage due to take place imminently. However, she finds she is pregnant...
Please read this book to enjoy the happy endings for both sisters. I enjoyed this book more than the previous one as it was more detailed about the two sister's lives and tied up the story nicely. Enjoy!

Loved the book - another fabulous book from Caitlin Crews!
Definitely worth reading

Perfect for any billionaire/ bad boy loving reader. Really loved this book and how you get the alpha males who we all love and the feisty women who put them in there place and makes them better for it. Can't wait for the next book by this author. Would recommend to everyone

3.5 Stars!

I didn’t love Achilles and Valentina’s book quite as much as its predecessor. Mainly because it felt like the author pretty much kept every personality trait from Natalie and Rodolfo in the first book, and just transferred them over without giving them any real attributes of their own.

It was as if he had never seen her before. It was as if she’d gone into the bathroom in the airport lounge and come out a completely different person...

The verbal sparring which was as good as in the first book (The Princes nine-Month Scandal) it lost its impact a bit because it was all a bit de-ja-vu in places.

Still it was a relatively quick read, and enjoyable enough. I think my advice would be not too read the books in succession like I did, have a break in-between, the similarities between both couples may not be as glaringly obvious then.

The ultimate HEA, 5 stars 🌟 :

If you enjoyed the first book in the duet (The Prince’s Nine-Month Scandal) than I think you will love this book too.

In the second book we pick the story up with Princess Valentina assuming Natalie's position as Personal Assistant to the Billionaire Achilles Casilieris, following a chance meeting with her look alike and their resulting trade of places for six weeks where Princess Valentina becomes Natalie and Natalie becomes the Princess (see The Prince’s Nine-Month Scandal for Natalie's story.).

Achilles is an alpha male, a wounded soul who over achieves to right what he feels are the sins of his past, he likes perfection and order, and from the start can see the difference in his assistant and correctly identifies what he feels is a perceived deception by his assistant Natalie and Princess Valentina who as they spend more time together makes Achilles feel and want things other than chasing the next deal, he has never wanted before but as the deception goes on can Achilles forgive Princess Valentina for lying to him.
Whilst Princess Valentina has left her life of duty and responsibility as the perfect Princess she finds herself at the beck and call of Achilles who unknown to Princess Valentina is testing her wanting her to tell him the truth but as the weeks go by what started as a step back from her real life, a chance to be normal becomes so much more complex as her feelings for Achilles grow. How can she go back to her gilded cage without Achilles when together they are so much stronger and make each other complete the perfect HEA!

As with the first book there were aspects which I felt could have been expanded upon but that could just be as I enjoyed the book so much I wanted it to continue! Ms Crews is one of my go to Author's for the perfect escape from your day to day life and this duet didn’t disappoint.

Fyi I received my copy from NetGalley and Mills and Boon via Mills and Boon Insiders, but this does not influence my opinions as all opinions are my own.

This must be read after book 1 in the series in my opinion as the 2 books stories follow on from each other.
Well written, involving story. I don't like the endless mistresses the hero has had or continues to have before the heroine, this is referred to a few times and in modern times this is not acceptable or appealing in a hero.
