This was a mistaken identity with disastrous (entertaining) results! Alex Parks arrived in Northern Idaho to surprise the man she has been emailing only to learn he isn't who he said he was. No, she was not talking to the man in the profile picture, but instead his brother. 
 Joe didn't intend to take on his brother's identity, nor did he plan to connect with the woman he messaged while he thought he would help his brother try online dating. But he connected with Alex in a way he hadn't anticipated and suddenly it was too late to change anything. It's not like they would ever meet in real life though, right? 
 Alex leads a very sheltered life. She doesn't have many friends and doesn't leave her apartment much at all. But as she finds herself reeling from the truth about her pen pal, she decides to make the most of the rare vacation time. As she spends more time in Coeur d'Alene, situations change and plans shift beyond what Alex thought she would find. 
 I loved watching as Alex found comfort in her unfamiliar surroundings. From the descriptions of her life at home, even taking the trip was a stretch for her, so staying even after having her plans change was a huge step for her. Watching as she continued to take new experiences gave the book an aspect beyond the romance. 
 Joe had a lot of explaining to do. But he enjoyed his conversations with Alex and was willing to do what she needed to gain her trust again. And with her issues, gaining her trust again was a definite challenge. But he also has his own challenges to deal with, as the middle man between his friends' complicated issues. 
 It was so much fun to see many of my favorite characters from other Kylie Scott titles. Mal's brand of humor had me laughing even as I was cheering Alex on for stepping out of her comfort zone once again.
