back of book description

Newspaperman Grey Masterson. He's responsible, conservative... and he's at the end of his rope! Only, little does he guess that when he and his brother, Zane, switch places, he's in for even more excitement.... ** Jewelry designer Reina Price. She's smart, she's sexy and she knows it. She uses her sensuality to keep her where she wants to be- in charge. Only, with her friend "Zane" she's suddenly lost her edge- and her control. And she's liking it far too much... ** After a sexy tell-all book by his former lover hits the stands, Grey Masterson discovers he's suddenly notorious. He's even acquired a stalker! "Becoming" his reckless, wild, identical twin brother, Zane, for a while might be just the break Grey needs. Only, once he meets Zane's friend, sultry Reina Price, he discovers there's no rest for the wicked. Luckily, Grey's planning to be very bad...

Simmering sensual adventure - Very highly recommended

Julie Elizabeth Leto and Susan Kearney combine their talents in simultaneous releases this month guaranteed to heat the libido. Each cover reveals half of their identical twin's face and, when placed side by side, form a whole. This innovative marketing tactic will solve the issue of readers who wait until the entire series becomes available before beginning their reading. I do hope Harlequin deems this experiment a success and repeats such simultaneous releases.Identical twin brothers Grey and Zane Masterson swap lives. Zane accepts the challenges that have driven Grey to seek refuge, while Grey frees himself to enjoy Zane's hedonistic lifestyle, with the provision that he will step up to Zane's responsibility to friend Reina Price. Jewelry designer Reina rents her business and home space from Zane, and a recent rash of burglaries threatens her livelihood. An opportunity arises to recreate a stunningly sensual jewelry collection that will compliment her evocative style. When her pal Zane arrives and insists on handling security measures, Reina accepts his aid. But suddenly her old friend becomes the greatest danger of all. Author Julie Elizabeth Leto weaves an enticing web of subterfuge and sensuality in DOUBLE THE PLEASURE. Leto's gift for erotic story telling makes her one of the boldest and most erotic authors writing series romance. In DOUBLE THE PLEASURE, Leto handles the switched identity gracefully, not allowing the deception to spin out of control, yet uses its consequences to great effect. Further, Reina is a stunningly atypical heroine, fiercely independent, sexually adventurous and surprisingly experienced. Her sexuality becomes a weapon that intimidates and control, yet Grey sees the vulnerability lurking beneath her strong façade. Indeed, it is refreshingly realistic to read of a woman who lost her virginity young, revels in her sexual exploits, and does not shy from exploration. Such rich characterization and intriguing plotting makes DOUBLE THE PLEASURE a delightful read. Very highly recommended.
