I liked this book but unfortunately, I didn’t love it. The book begins when we meet Colton and Corey identical twins attending their ten year high school reunion. Colton grows bored of listening to others from his class talk about their children and families now and since he really has no interest he finds himself at the bar and he meets Zara. Nobody can tell the twins apart they always have been called CJ by their classmates but Zara claims she could always tell and it makes Colton at ease having someone that actually doesn’t need him to explain who he is but events occur that even he wasn’t prepared for. The story had a good flow but some things took almost the whole book to be discovered and left the rest kinda rushed to be completed. The epilogue was nicely done and I enjoyed it. Overall, the book was good and enjoyable.
Really intriguing and easy read, it kept me captivated until the very end.
One night that CJ and Zara Pierce were dreading suddenly changed the moment they locked eyes on each other.
One moment where their kiss meant everything.
Then one word changed it all during one passionate moment:
“COREY!”
What. The. World…
Colton Jensen was NOT expecting his brother’s name to pop out of Zara’s mouth. Not by a long shot. So what else is he to do but hightail it out of the room and try to avoid seeing Zara? That is, until, his mother’s necklace is missing….and Zara finds it in her bag from their tryst.
Greeeaatt….now he HAS to go see her. There’s just one problem- Zara thinks she had an amazing love scene with COREY, his twin brother. Yes, you read that right, his twin. And she’s expecting to see him. So what does Colton do? Lie and keep up the charade that he really is Corey. It kills him to lie, but for the sake of his father’s potential business deal of the family diner with Zara, he has to pretend that he’s Corey. But Colton quickly realizes that his feelings for Zara are his own, and not his brother’s.
As the passion and the chemistry continue to build between Colton and Zara, he knows that he can’t keep up the lie forever. But will him telling her the truth ruin his only chance at happiness?
I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK!! It was incredible!! 😀 <3
I love this book. Elizabeth Hayley did a good job on this book. I can’t wait to read more by her.
Oh I just loved it, loved the story, the characters, how sweet and amazing Colton is, also loved that families were included and played a big part, I always love when families are involved because they are so much, loved that we got to read a little about other characters that are also fun.
Girls, you did an great job, just absolutely adored this book.
I absolutely loved this book! I laughed and cried and rooted for Zara (love that name) and CJ/Colton. Really wanted them to be a couple. I loved the chemistry when they weren’t trying. Another great book by Elizabeth and Hayley. They never disappoint! Fills all the blanks for a great love story. Cn’t wait to read what they have in store for us next.
These two authors know how to write a fun, sexy, steamy as hell, a hilarious romance that will have you laughing your ass off, swooning and your attention from the beginning right through to the end and Misadventures with A Twin was exactly that and more.
I had been looking forward to this and the authors didn’t disappoint if anything they raised the bar a few!
A high school reunion, mistaken identity, and alcohol are the things that bring Zara and Colton together. The moment they saw each other at the reunion, sparks flew and these two hit it off… The only thing is, Zara thinks it’s his identical twin brother CJ (Corey), and after enough alcohol, she felt confident enough to take him back to her room for the night… And of course things get hot and steamy… and while in that passionate state, Zara calls out Corey’s name… And it shocks the shit out of him. He didn’t know what to do, and it started to all line up on why she thought he was his brother. You’d think at this point he would stop and tell her… Well, think again… And after a night of passion, and what Colton thought would be a one night stand, fate intervenes and when unforeseen events start to happen these two keep getting brought together again. Colton did try and come clean, but it never happens, and what was meant to be one night, starts to turn into so much more.
As the book progresses and time goes on, these two start to become a hell of a lot more closer and a bond and relationship is formed, and it only strengthens. The thing is, Colton can’t keep the truth from Zara forever. He knows he has to tell her sooner rather than later. But will these two be able to withstand this? Will Zara feel betrayed and walk away? Or is what started as lust and has turn into so much more, be strong enough to keep them together?
These authors are phenomenal, and never cease to amaze me. Once again they have delivered a fun, hotter than fire, intriguing and kind of suspenseful romance that had me hanging off every damn word. I honestly cannot fault this plot, characters, or authors.
I cannot recommend this book enough.
BUY IT. You won’t be disappointed!
6/5 Stars!
MISADVENTURES WITH A TWIN is the twenty-sixth release in the multi-author series of passionate standalone novels.
I have to say that I loved Colton and Zara right from the first time they sat down together. A bit of mistaken names wasn’t going to get in the way of their happily ever after. They were meant to be in the kitchen, the bedroom, on the bike,… together, … forever. They even spent some time at their favorite gym… could those three instructors be in a relationship? (Check out MISADVENTURES IN A THREESOME.)
The story was fun, flirty, at times sexy, and at times sweet. It was a perfect little get away from life and seriousness.
… but what about the other twin. Colton needs a chance to do some revenge laughing at his brother, Corey!
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

I felt such a connection to Colton and Zara! Wendy for Janise’s Jivin’ Book Blog
The Elizabeth Hayley duo always write such fun Misadventures. I love the twins and how Corey plays a part even though it is Colton’s story. Zara was so sure that she could tell them apart since Corey was always the sweet, considerate one. Love that Zara got to see that side of Colton as he was falling for her. I felt so connected to Zara and Colton as we got to know them and their families. Looking forward to more Elizabeth Hayley books.
This was a quick, enjoyable read by Elizabeth Hayley. It is a fake relationship, mistaken identity romance. There were funny moments, touching moments, a few sad moments, and some steamy moments.
There were wonderful characters that you will love. The chemistry between Colton and Zara was immediate and only got better from there. I liked the way they brought out the best in each other. I loved the twin dynamic between Colton and Corey. My sisters are twins and it was fun to read about the interactions and twin telepathy. It was very endearing to see the close relationship Colton and Corey had with their father. Zara’s family dynamic wasn’t as easy but I liked seeing it progress with the help of Corey.
This had a good story line and kept me entertained. tt has a HEA and I loved the epilogue. This is a first read by Elizabeth Hayley and I enjoyed it.

Colten Jensen
Zara Pierce
This was an exceptionally hot and emotional book. But that’s what I’ve come to love about these Misadventures books.
One minute you have a tear in your eye and then turn the page, and you burst out laughing.
I love how Elizabeth Hayley keep past characters alive in present books.
This for sure gets 5 stars!
Uh Oh and my oh my are totally feelings when reading Misadventures with a Twin! Debra @ Janise’s Jivin’ Book Blog
Can you say “oops”? Well you will when you read this novella in the Misadventures series! It is filled with oh my moments and I couldn’t put it down. Colton doesn’t realize that Zara is with the wrong twin until it is too late! He wants to come clean but is afraid of losing her and there is an extenuating circumstance that could be put in jeopardy if he does!
You won’t have long to wait to find out if this case of mistaken identity will be the end or the new beginning of a wonderful relationship!
I loved Misadventures with a Twin!!! Zara and CJ’s story was well written and a story that everyone should read. Zara mistakes Colton for Corey and Corey doesn’t correct her. You have to read the book to see what happens!!!
It’s not all fun and games when identical twins, Colton and Corey attend their 10 year high school reunion. In fact when nerdy girl Zara enjoys a drink with Colton at the bar and asks him to join her in her hotel room upstairs, Colton thinks the fun has just begun. But what happens when she calls out his name in the middle of the sparks flying? Will he own up and tell her he is not Corey? Or wil the charade need to continue in order to help out Zara and her busybody family? From the opening pages until the very last page this book not only had me laughing out loud but also had me hoping that Colton would be able to finally find a connection he so longed for. This was a great addition to a fabulous series.
Witty, Heartfelt and Complex…Elizabeth Hayley gives us another wonderfully written Misadventures Book!
With the back drop of a high school reunion what could go wrong – well Colton Jenson finds out pretty fast but, can’t find it in himself to correct it right away.
Zara Pierce was different in back then but now she is going for it with the man and her life.
So worth your time to read you can’t put it down. Kudos to Elizabeth Hayley and Waterhouse Press on another winner!
Mistaken Rendezvous…
Highschool reunions can go one of two ways. A total disaster or they can turn out to be a chance to catch up with old friends and reminisce about the good old days. In Zara Pierce’s case, both are the case. Her Highschool infatuation Corey Jensen jolts all her feels to the surface once again when she meets him face to face, along with her raging libido. Her girly parts are screaming and they take control and she ends up having a sexy hot session with the guy she has been fantasizing about for years. Or is he?
Colton Jensen was the arrogant cocky twin brother of Corey in Highschool. He has always been the one to throw caution to the wind and never settle down in a relationship. When he found himself going past a certain line, he retreated. Colton was also the twin Zara thought was Colby when they had their steamy tryst on the night of the reunion. Unfortunately for Colton, he only realizes that after the fact. Colton can’t bring himself to tell her the truth and the longer he holds off, the closer he becomes to Zara and getting to know her.
Colton realizes he is getting in too deep with his feelings for Zara and he knows he has to fess up the truth to her. But at what cost? He could lose everything. This was a hot, sexy and fun story, just what a Misadventure should be.
