Like a Boss

Double Trouble Duet, Book 1

By: Liz Matis

Narrated by: Riley Raye

Identical twin brothers separated at birth...32 years later they are trading places.

War veteran Dawson Trudeau never expected his estranged identical twin to walk into his bar in Alaska, let alone offer him $20 million to pose as the CEO of King Enterprises while he secretly heads to rehab for 30 days. With dreams of starting a homeless shelter for veterans and locating his retired service dog from Afghanistan, Dawson can't say no. Then he meets his brother's sexy assistant and he hopes she can't say no - to some overtime between the sheets.

Lacey Brooks isn't attracted to her metrosexual boss, but his rough-and-ready identical twin is just her type. When lust turns into love, she fears she is betraying the CEO. If she can navigate the family feud to ensure a spot-on impersonation by Dawson, she'll finally be promoted to VP.

If they can pull off the masquerade, everyone wins. But once the 30 days is over will victory matter if they don't have each other?

Like a Boss

This was my first Liz Matis's book. This is a short, cute and sweet story. I love Dawson and Lacey's story. The secondary characters are also interesting. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Riley Raye has a great voice, but I was a little distracted while listening (echo, pacing and characters's voices too similar). I received this free review copy at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

An enjoyable listen

I enjoyed listening to this book. I liked the characters. I liked Dawson and Lacey. I liked Dawson because despite getting the raw end of the deal as a kid he did pretty good for himself. He didn't sit around and wallow in self pity like many would. I liked Lacey because she was a good and loyal friend to his brother. The chemistry between the two of them was good. I want to see how things end in book two. I am sure other people would enjoy listening or reading this book.

Like a Boss

This is the first book I have listened by this author,. Twin brothers who couldn't be further apart in every way come together to save the one from his whole world crumbling. Little did he know the biggest achievement would be winning the love of an amazing woman

Enjoyable story

I’d recommend s the book/audible. I liked the narrator who told the story. The characters were like able. We have Dawson and Aaron who are twins completely polar opposites. They didn’t grow up together and only know each other later on briefly. They had two completely different upbringings and Dawson is shocked when Aaron the CEO of a very successful company comes to him asking for help. He needs to go to rehab for 30 days and wants his brother to pretend to be him during this time. Here comes Lacey his assistant that is here to help Dawson and she is hoping that she can become VP proving herself. Problem is the chemistry her and Dawson have is off the charts. I recommend it and hope you’ll enjoy it as well.

sort of an adult version of The Parent Trap

This is sort of the adult spin on the movie Parent Trap...Military veteran, Dawson Trudeau, is happy running his bar in a quiet town in Alaska...when his identical twin brother, whom he first met when they were 12 yo and has not seen in 20 yrs, walks in asking a favor. In exchange for $20 million, Dawson will impersonate his twin as CEO of their father's company for 30 days while he is in rehab. Since Dawson's dream is to open a shelter for homeless vets, as well as locating his service dog in Afghanistan, he agrees to go along with the hare brained scheme. His twin, Aaron, also stipulates that Dawson must stay away from this assistant, Kacey...of course Dawson is attracted to Kacey...will he resist the pursuit? Kacey has her sights on the VP position and has no intention of letting her attraction to Dawson get in the way. But as the days turn in weeks, will the pair be able to resist each other or will they risk it all for a chance at love? This is a very short story but is well written, with likeable characters...well except for the twin. That said, during his time impersonating his brother, Dawson realizes that he was wrong assuming that his brother had a great life as opposed to his growing up with their drug addicted mother. Their father is a piece of work...and I really wanted Dawson to smack him. Anyhoo, good story, with a lovely ending, and good narration...worth the read/listen. Will be looking for Aaron's story.
I voluntarily accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
