Dani Botelli has vowed to step out of her demanding movie star mother’s shadow, and is determined to start a new chapter in her life. But two men vying for her attention are making for double the trouble. There’s Jake, her police detective almost-ex who wasn’t so hot as a husband but still has the hots for Dani. And as usual, he needs her intuition and visions to help him solve a crime. Then there’s her high school crush, Michael, a former NFL pro who’s now her mom’s hunky lawyer. Working alongside Jake, while keeping her special gifts under wraps, is proving to be more dangerous than Dani realized. She needs to stay out of harm’s way—and out of Jake’s flirtatious path—long enough to find out if Michael is the one. But will her hard-to-explain hunches be the secret that comes between them?
I hadn’t read this author before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. This book was pretty good. It gives a nice twist to the second chances genre and throws in a paranormal aspect to boot! I liked all of the characters in the book. The book itself was well written and flowed nicely. I can’t wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend.

I had a difficult time to review this story. Some twists were not my thing and other situations made it worth reading it. Not my easiest revoew to write.
Danielle should be stronger and Jake is not a man, he is using her. Michael is too mean for my liking but I liked the girl - Emma. She made some of the scenes worth the reading.
This is just my opinion - read to make your own.

This was a fun book to read! The banter between Dani, Michael, and Jake, and even mom, grandma, the bodyguard, etc. was awesome. Yes, it did have a lot of romance tropes thrown in, but that just made it fun! Dani was full of snark, and Michael was an intelligent guy who didn't get thrown into the creepy-lawyer barrel. I'm starting the second book now.

Cute, cute, cute!! Seeing Double was not what I was expecting- I liked that the story had the added element of Dani (& her Mom & Grandma) having special "powers"

Tamra Baumann is a new favorite author. I look forward to reading more by her.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I started this book like most others - planning to take breaks and do all the regular stuff life throws at you - instead my family fended for themselves while I finished it in one sitting! Great characters - an almost -ex, a new/old flame, mothers/daughters and some "woo-woo" foretelling dreams thrown in makes for a solid contemporary romance.

Dani, Jake and Michael what a ride. I loved that this story had so much humor, misdirection, twits and turns. I enjoyed seeing Dani move away from being under her mother's shadow. The characters are well rounded and the writing is excellent.

What a great read. This is the first book i have read by Tamra and I am looking forward to others from her. This book will have you laughing out loud. I could be friends with some of these characters. Seeing double is a story about 2nd chances. It is well written.

I really enjoyed this book, the only reason it gets three stars rather than four is because of a plot twist I didn’t believe fit the narrative of the story! This is a laugh out loud book, the characters, especially the heroine (Dani) are amazing. Loved the book overall and the writing!

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

This story is a modern day screwball comedy. Dani appears to be a mess and at times is almost difficult to like but Baumann manages to keep her just on the right side of likable even when she does things that make you want to scream at the book. Michael is a likable single-dad hero that isn't quite perfect himself and Jake, the third part of the triangle, is actually very likable as well. As expected hijinx ensue, however, Tamra Baumann does a great job of keeping the story flowing and the absurd to somehow seem plausible.

I thought I was NOT going to like this one in the beginning. The heroine, Dani, get's herself in some darn funny situations. I kept going though because I enjoy Tamra Baumanns' previous books, in the It Had to Be You series.

This one was no different! Full of humour, snark, and wit, this was fun story! The characters are fully developed and yes there is some woo-woo to it but the adventures that Dani took the strait-laced, right or wrong, no grey area, Michael on were fun.

[Dani is technically still married to Jake, as he won't sign the papers and oh that relationship was a sweet one! There is NO cheating, no worries about that but when the relationship finally ends, you can feel the both their pain. (But you're still rooting for Micheal) (hide spoiler)]

So at first i was a little confused as to what was going on as the way it's start you kinda jump straight in, This isn't just a romance, There a little extra going on, I don't want to give anything away as it is a good story and i enjoyed getting to know all the characters.

Dani's got man trouble. Her ex, Jake, is still a big presence in her life. Then there's Michael her high school crush and her moms lawyer. Dani has a special gift, she is psychic, as is her mother and grandmother. Her ex knows, as she helps him solve crimes. Michael doesn't, as Dani isn't really allowed to tell anyone. On account of her mother being an actress, she doesn't want it to ruin her reputation. Michael has trust issues after his ex wife kept a very big secret from him. Dani doesn't know how he will react when she tells him. Its a lot to deal with. Fans of paranormal romance should pick up a copy. Its a fun read. Cant wait to read some more books by this author.

What happens when you have intuitions and visions.
Hmm you soon to be ex uses you to help him solve crimes and the man you want has no idea.
Dani is tired of living under her Mother. She want s to live her own life, and get her soom to be ex to sign the divorce papers. She never imagines getting stuck with someone elses child and traveling with the one who got away to chase down the Mother. This really teaches her things about herself
This was a romantic comedy that keeps you laughing the whole way through. The suspense in the plot is fine tuned. I really enjoyed it.

A++....5 star read! Funny, sexy and suspenseful! Loved Dani and Micheal's story and got a kick out of the Jake dynamic. Would definitely recommend.

The story really grabs the readers attention from the get-go. Tamara does a great job being descriptive and allowing the reader to feel like they are immersed in the story.

I was surprised at how fresh and how many surprises there were in this story once it got going. What a wonderful job of keeping the reader invested in the story and its characters!

Characterization is key in any novel and I felt like there was a great main character with real problems that the reader can relate to. She was easy to get behind and root for through the novel.I loved the way that she opened up and grew throughout the novel.
