This book was lovely!! Sloane has to pretend to be her twin sister and go on a date with Roman. However, Sloane is not happy about this as Roman is the same man that pretty much caused her to get fired from her job. Now this was three years ago but some wounds dont heal. However, Sloane knows she misjudged Roman and starts to fall in love with him. It was interesting to read how she navigated having to tell Roman it wasnt her sister but her. Overall, great book and cannot wait to read more :)

This was a decent book but definitely not my favorite. I tried to read it several times and I just couldn’t get through it. The fourth time was the charm and I did finally get a chance to read this and I did actually really enjoy it. I guess I just was t in the right place the first 3 times

I love a good twin swap story. WR gave us a good one. I liked Roman and Sloane's story. It was so interesting the way he starts to realize this wasn't the girl she portrays herself to be. It was a fast and good read.

You or Someone Like You by Winter Renshaw was a cute read! I love Winter and her books. I love reading interesting books, and this one was. This is a twin swap, and I've only read one of those, but it was such a fun read. Congratulations, and great job, Winter!

Roman and Sloane were a fantastic couple to read about! I loved them so much. I hope you all will, too.

This tale of twin sisters, unintentionally messing with the heart of a rich single dad, has the potential to be one of my all time favorite books ever. It was beautiful. It tugged at my heartstrings.

The story of Roman and Sloane in You or Someone Like You kept in an anxious state for the vast majority of it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed their getting to know each other --how they initially didn't think there was anything there but took a chance. Or how their initial non-date dates were definitely dates and they were definitely interested in the other. I also enjoyed the back story of each of them and getting to know what made each of them who they were. But honestly, the wait for the deception to be revealed kept my anxiety high and the longer it took for it to happen, the more I could think of how Sloane would get caught. So good but so anxiety producing. Gah.

Quick, fun read, with an author's note that will hit you in the heart. Grab it and enjoy.

You or Someone Like You is the second book that I have read by Winter Renshaw, and she is quickly becoming one of my new favorite authors. The premise of the story – identical twins switching places for a blind date – intrigued me and I was soon immersed into the book and wasn’t able to put it down. Great read! #YouorSomeoneLikeYou #NetGalley

YOU OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU By Winter Renshaw

Being an identical twin has its perks, but when my sister asked me to sub in for a date with Roman Bellisario, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. Sure, he’s sinfully handsome and successful, but he also got me fired from my dream job three years ago.
This time, my sister’s promotion is riding on this date, so I have to say yes. And as it turns out, we’re strangely perfect for each other. I sell art. He collects it. We’re both obsessed with the same obscure, mysterious artist that most people don’t even know exists.
Roman is guarded, though, and I can understand why. He’s a widowed single dad. But as one date leads to another, he starts to let me in, and I can’t help but fall for him.
The problem is Roman still thinks I’m my sister. Is our twin swap going to be the best thing that ever happened to me and Roman—or the lie that tears us apart?

😊What i liked -

✔ Twin Swap/Single Parent/Forced Proximity.
✔ I liked the plot.
✔ Roman and Sloane getting to know each other was a treat.
✔ Loved Roman as a single parent.

🤔What could have been better -

✔ Margaux as a character was really irritating, so that did bring my reading experience down and it didn't help that Sloane was helpless in front of her twin.

📚Who Should read :

👶Beginners
💝Romance Lover
👯Twin Swap Romance
🧑‍🍼Single Parent Romance


📈My Rating : 3/5

I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed "You or Someone Like You". I was seriously thinking about this book months after I first read it. I seriously think that this is one of the best look a like, twin switch books ever and I loved the idea that our main characters Sloane and Roman had a past where they didn't know how much an art sale gone wrong could cause ripples to their present history.

I loved that this romance revolved around art and the passion that both characters had for it. I think it gave them both a reason for the passion when the relationship went south because of "mistaken" identities and not talking to each other. I'm so glad that it worked out and Margaux became a bit better after be talked to about how she was too blame too.

Thank you to Montlake and NetGalley for giving me a copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I’m indifferent to it? Roman had my sympathies for his grieving but the constant waxing poetic about life and death and the little moments and what not was too much for me. Sloane was a doormat when it came to her sister. She literally said “I should be used to her selfish ways by now” but nope that’s when you cut off contact with her to protect your piece. Margaux needed to be punched in the throat for the schemes and using everyone, including her twin, to get her way despite the consequences being spelled out for her and charging ahead anyway

This is a good book. The two main characters are Sloane and Roman. Sloane has a twin sister and she works at an art gallery. Roman is the CEO of a family business, widower and father to two daughters. Sloane’s sister wants Sloane to go a blind date with Roman. Roman’s aunt wants Roman to go a date with her coworker Sloane’s sister. Sloane pretends to be her sister with Roman. They start dating. It is hard for Sloane to not tell Roman. He finds out that Sloane has been lying. The work it out and fall in love.

This was a nice story about a second chance at love after losing your first love. Roman is a devoted father of two girls but what I did find strange was one of the daughters had an accident while out with a relative and he went rushing off to the hospital to be with her as you would but then no more was said on the matter as if it didn't happen or the author forgot she wrote that scene. Sloan's sister was selfish throughout most of the book but realised her bad behaviour and changed for the better towards the end of the story.

This is one of the better twin stories that I've read. The idea behind the swapping seemed simple until it wasn't.
Sloane and Roman were really good characters.
One thing I enjoyed was that Roman wasn't your typical alpha main character. He was a bucket of mush when it comes to his daughters and he had a sensitive side. He definitely seemed like someone you would find in real life. And the way that he sought out answers at the end instead of just giving up was so refreshing for a romance story. Sloane's dedication to her not-so-deserving sister was admirable. How could she not fall for the perfect guy for her that just happened to drop into her lap. This story was a bit of a car crash that you saw coming and new would get messy but I really liked it.

You or Someone Like You by Winter Renshaw is a contemporary romance that can be read as a standalone. The story has that twin swap theme to it and while I wasn't a big fan of the sister, I absolutely loved the main characters. Sloan and Roman are absolutely perfect together. They are so devoted and passionate about their arts and families and you could feel how strong their connection was. This was a great slow-burn romance with a lot of substance. If you're after a quick heartwarming comfort read, this is the story for you.

You or Someone Like You is a mistaken identity type romance between a twin covering for her sister and a widower learning to love again. I found the romance so engaging and beautiful, it was believable, slow growing but not tedious, and it was refreshing to see a man like Roman and how much he loves his daughters. It was a book about learning to love again and how a second love doesnt diminish the first. However the real negative here is the sister, wow what a horrible person and I was glad to see that explored a little by the end. But I was so angry at her the entire time, I was almost audibly yelling at the book. I did enjoy it a lot though and would recommend.

- Twin Swap
- Single Dad
- Second chance (ish? - He got her fired SOOOO)

This one surprised me. I think I was expecting to like it a little more than I did, but I also didn't hate it and when I get the twin swap, it's either love it or hate it. While this one was an entertaining read for me, I felt like the deception went on a little too long in the story. I did love the hot and cold aspect of the MCs relationships, but at the same time, I was screaming at them to just smarten up and get together already. I do wish that the third act break-up wasn't as rushed as it was. I love the angst and emotion and drama that the TAB gives readers but everything was kind of hurried at the end.

Still, I'll definitely be checking out other books this author has in their backlist and see what they come out with in the future.

Wow! Loved this story about finding love when you least expect it!

Sloane is forced to go on a blind date pretending to be her identical twin, which sounds simple enough but is only made more complicated when the guy she needs to date is non other than Roman Belissario. Roman was the reason she made the biggest mistake of her career and she’s not sure she can forgive him, not that he knows who she is.

But fate steps in and somehow these two strangers find common ground in their mutual love of art, despite all efforts to not date anyone, only to discover they have both been holding big secrets from each other.

Read on to discover this live story and find out what happens when the truth is revealed.

Winter has done it again! Great characters and a great story.
