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 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

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.

Enjoyable Rom-Com

The characters in this book were well developed with a story that was somewhat predictable but entertaining. Theme involved twins switching lives for 30 days and the complications that ensue. Lifestyles are direct polar opposites with each twin seeking his own purpose or reward after the 30 day agreement. The impersonation itself causes complications with bouts of humor that made it a worthwhile read. It’s the type of book that will take you outside of your daily stresses and provide laughter and entertainment. The ending , I dare say allows for a possible second story or sequel that potentially could involve the other twin or perhaps the leading lady might have an unknown sister or twin! Definitely a good read -while this is the first time I read this author, I believe I’ll peruse her other work. Should there be a sequel- it would definitely be worth reading.

Enjoyed This Short Romance

I really enjoyed this book. It was quick and fun to listen to as Dawson and Lacey realize they were meant for each other. There is lots of attraction which sizzles between them. For a short story, I did not feel like I was missing anything - it moved along nicely. Looking forward to Aaron’s story.

The narrator was a bit slow in delivery in some places, but overall a good performance.

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.

Fun Listen!

I loved this book! The premise of switching places with a twin sounds so appealing to me! The complications that happened only added to the fun. I found myself laughing out loud in this book. Although this is a short listen, the author, Liz Matis did a great job developing the characters. I thought the narrator Riley Raye did a great performance. I will definitely listen to the next book in this duet series. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review.

Quick romantic read 5❤❤❤❤❤

30 days to impersonate your long estranged twin. 30 days of playing someone else to gain $20 million dollars. 30 days to try and not fall in love with your brother's sexy and fiesty assistant. Well, finishing 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

Dawson was enjoying life in Alaska. Then out of the blue, his estranged brother Alex appears with an outlandish offer. All Dawson needs to do is impersonate mega CEO Alex for 30 days while he beats a drug addiction and $20 million dollars is his. Dawson, though at first unsure, agrees and steps into Alex's shoes. What Dawson wasn't counting on was the tough as nails but sexy as hell Lacey Brooks, Alex's right hand woman. A woman that is completely out of his league but will not stay out of his thoughts.

Lacey has it all going for her. Right hand woman to one of the most powerful men in LA. The offer of Vice President if she can assist Dawson pull off this charade convincingly. However, as she works closer and closer with Dawson, can she hold on to heart and not fall head over heels for the sexy Alaskan bush man?

Liz Matis has delivered a romantic short novel that is sure to leave you wanting more. Her character development is phenomenal. She left me wanting more and more of Dawson and Lacey. Ms. Matis' storytelling is point on and well done. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Matis works in the future.

***NOTE - I receieved an ACX of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.***

Double Trouble!

If you are looking for a short, entertaining listen, this one is for you. Liz Matis has written a fun and flirty story with a hint of suspense. Dawson finds out he has a twin brother at the age of 12, but quickly finds out that he is not wanted by either his father or brother. Fast forward 20 years, and now his brother is in need of his assistance. Pretending to be the CEO of a fortune 500 company is a feat in itself, but add the distraction and help of Lacey and Dawson has his work cut out for him. Lacey is always attracted to the bad boy, and in this case, Dawson is the man. Her insta-lust is turning into love. But what does this mean for her position at work? I love this story for a couple of reasons. First, it's a lot of fun to see Dawson's personality come through as he takes over his brother's position. Those unsuspecting that he is not Aaron are in for surprise with this new man at the helm. I also love Dawson's military background. His history with his dog and the mention of his PTSD gives us a small glimpse of the things of a soldier and how their lives are forever changed by their service. It's also interesting meeting the twin's father and his reaction to the boys. It will be interesting to hear Aaron's story and the further history of their relationship. While slightly rushed at the end, I found the story an enjoyable listen, and can't wait to hear Aaron's story.

Riley Raye gave a great performance for this novella. It's my first listen by her, and I found her voice pleasing. She has good transitions between characters and her pacing is good. I look forward to her next release.
