His best day. Her absolute worst.

Back in college, Marco Dawson never thought of Belle as anything more than a friend. If she had crossed his mind on his wedding day, it was probably only to wonder why she hadn’t shown up to be a bridesmaid. After all, his new wife was her old roommate.

Seven years later, Belle gets news worth booking a plane ticket for: Marco is divorced and vacationing at a swanky Cancun resort with his family. She’s not letting the right man slip away twice. She heads to the resort where she plans to casually bump into Marco and ignite some romantic flames.

But Belle hadn’t planned on one thing: Flynn Dawson, Marco’s handsome, charming, and infuriating twin brother. Flynn is convinced Marco and his ex-wife belong back together and he’s determined to keep Belle from interfering.

Part Sabrina, part While You Were Sleeping, this sunshine-and-saltwater romcom serves up mistaken identities, twin brother trouble, and unexpected sparks. If you love swoony banter, laugh-out-loud chaos, and a heroine that's not afraid to crash a vacation, dive in!

Sweet, Funny, and Worth Staying Up to Read!

I loved How I Met Your Brother! It just viciously stole the top spot for being my favorite book. I started reading at midnight, thinking that I would just read a few pages and go to sleep. I should have known better! Two hours later, I stopped lying to myself about finishing just one more chapter, and admitted that I was going to stay up to finish it. My sleep deprivation was so worth it! The romance was sizzling, yet sweet, and the humor had me grinning and stifling my laughter.When Belle finds out that her old crush and her ex-best friend are divorced, she thinks that fate has cleared a way for her to win him over. She happens to go to the same resort that his family is staying at in Cancun, and there meets his twin brother, Flynn, who she mistakes for Marco. Sparks fly, until she realizes that Flynn is not Marco after all.I loved Belle and Flynn! The chemistry between those two (fanning self now)! I loved the chemistry, but also felt like they got to know each other well, even over such a small period of time. When I first heard about this book it was pitched as a cross between While You Were Sleeping and Sabrina. That was pretty accurate. It had similar elements with Belle having a crush on Marco, who despite being friends with in college, she still hadn't known too well. I loved watching her realize that she had spent all of this time pining for the wrong brother.Read it!How I Met Your Brother is part of the Power of the Matchmaker series, all involving a mysterious woman named Pearl. Each book can be read independently, and in any order.Content: clean (some kissing), appropriate for teens who have read her YA books, and readers of all ages!Disclosure: I received a copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

Witty and cute romance

Mischievous, Devious, Hilarious, adventurous, audacious(although it's similar to adventurous I liked the word), delicious, fictitious, flirtatious, humorous, oblivious, delirious, vivacious, victorious, voracious(me in reading and consuming this book).Those are all great words that describe this book and my feelings towards it. Very fun with great wit and humor abounding throughout. Isabelle is in for the ride of her life, with lots of twists to navigate and overcome. Will she know the best choices or will her choices send her hurtling faster towards disaster? Marco, I mean Flynn, I mean Marco...ugh, which is which and will Isabelle know her heart and which twin brother will be the one will cherish and hold it safely for her?Isabelle is at a bit of a crossroads after a big and frustrating fiasco during a fashion show with her fashion house. Frankly I wouldn't blame her and would be a bit frustrated too! In the moment of leaving the after party Isabelle meets Miss Pearl.Now if you haven't been following and reading The Power of the Matchmaker series then I will let you know that Miss Pearl is the connecting character for all the books in the series. Each book is a standalone so if you're not following the series just know Miss Pearl is the matchmaker and has her own short story if you want her backstory, Power of the Matchmaker, it's free on Amazon if you're interested. I have loved the books I've read from the series, I think I have 3 more to go. It's a great group of authors!The synopsis says this has the feel of Sabrina and While You Were Sleeping and I loved it! Those are two of my favorite movies. I loved the banter between the characters, I enjoyed the emotions that were explored. The characters(not just the main ones you would assume) had preconceived notions about life and different experiences that they were given the chance to reevaluate and realize that their perception wasn't always 100% accurate. Some of the characters were stinkers at points and some were just great the whole way through.I enjoy Janette's writing style and will keep enjoying her books, and rereading them. My first book by her was Masquerade when I was a teenager. My sister bought it, read it, loved it and said I had to read it. Let's just say I've read it multiple times over the years and love it every time. Her books have great humor, swoony characters and fun storylines!Content: Some innuendos at the beginning with the fashion show and I believe a few mild ones scattered throughout. Some kissing, some sweet little kisses and a few make out kissing scenes but nothing past kissing. I would say this is a clean read.I snagged a copy from Amazon when it was on sale for $0.99.Happy Reading!!!
