Wrong place, right time…

After a long volunteering stint in South Africa, hot shot doctor Zack Cole is ready to move on with his life and get his residency job back. At his brother's engagement party things take an unexpected turn when he finds himself kissing a beautiful guest.

With a bad case of mistaken identity, a passionate kiss he can’t stop thinking about, and a marriage proposal, this gorgeous stranger turns his carefully constructed world upside down.

Former cartel accountant turned spy, Rebecca Smith is desperate to stay in the states; returning to Venezuela would be a death sentence for sure. Her only hope is for the steamy doctor to accept her twelve-month deal.

Rebecca needs a fake husband to get a green card and stay alive. But will pretending to love him for a whole year break her heart for real?

Note: This is a steamy romance with explicit sensual scenes, happily ever after, no cheating, and no cliffhanger. Can be read as a standalone.

MY REVIEW
Zack's finally come home. Unfortunately his ex, who's now married to the man she cheated on him with, is at his brother's engagement party, too. He needs a distraction from it all, and it comes in the form of a mistaken identity and a hot kiss.

Rebecca's desperate. She wants (needs) to stay in the US and the man who rescued her is her last hope. Too bad she mistakes his twin brother for Wes, because there's no way Zack will agree to a marriage of convenience, will he?

I'm sad this is that last of the Cole Brothers series, because I've really enjoyed all the suspense and intrigue and the love each brother finally finds. Here in Defy You, Zack finally gets the happiness he deserves, even if it starts with him being mistaken for his twin, who's very much not available thank you very much. Like his brothers, Zack's story is hot and suspenseful and entertaining. The only thing I didn't really like about it is the heroine, Rebecca, irritated me to no end. But Zack is awesome enough to cancel out her annoying personality, so 4 stars is still a fair rating.
