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.

Funny, sweet  and sexy PNR. This was well written and thoroughly enjoyable.

Albuquerque, New Mexico – Present Day

Dani Botelli is trying to start a new life that isn’t under the shadow of her famous movie star mother, or her soon-to-be ex-husband Jake, who still has the hots for her. Unfortunately, Jake, who is a police detective, still asks Dani for help in solving crimes because she has intuitive visions, something she tries to keep under wraps. Then there is Michael Reilly, her high school crush, who is a lawyer and is involved in a case she is testifying in. Dani broke up with Michael in high school because she had a vision of him marrying someone else. He doesn’t know about her special skills, because she doesn’t want to be seen as a freak. But after a confrontation with Michael in front of the courthouse, a man attacks Dani and threatens to kill her. Michael will do whatever it takes to protect Dani, but will it also lead to a rekindled passion between them?

Michael is a divorced father of two little girls, but he hasn’t forgotten about Dani. He’s still confused over her rejection of him in high school. In Michael’s eyes, Dani is flaky and spoiled, but he still wants her. When the attacker in front of the courthouse hires goons to go after Dani, he steps in to help, despite the fact that the police—and Jake—are involved. But it doesn’t stop someone planting a bomb that almost kills them. In fact, it only forces Michael and Dani closer. After a little girl is abandoned and Dani offers to care for her and look for the mother, Michael agrees to help. Dani loves Michael, but can he forgive her for breaking up with him as teenagers? How will he feel when he learns about her special abilities?

Dani is torn between two men—one who wants her (Jake) and another who is still sore after their breakup years ago—Michael. She inherited her special visual skills from her mother and grandmother, and like them, tries to hide it because it’s so unusual and would attract attention. Jake knows about it and has used her to help him solve crimes. Michael wasn’t told because she didn’t want to scare him away. It’s not easy to explain to someone you can see your future—and theirs. Despite the years apart, Dani is still attracted to Michael, but doesn’t see how she can win him back. For one, he doesn’t think highly of her despite their years of knowing one another. It doesn’t help that she gets into peculiar situations and is a bit of an airhead. But deep down there is a woman trying to assert her independence from her famous mother. Dani grew up without knowing her father, but in SEEING DOUBLE, she may get a chance to rectify that.

SEEING DOUBLE is both intriguing and funny as Dani gets into trouble and is rescued by Michael. Of course, she also has her own way of getting out of a jam by using her special skills. Michael thinks she’s just lucky and she doesn’t know how he’ll react if she tells him the truth. Their rekindled romance slowly builds in SEEING DOUBLE as they chase after a woman who left a child behind and try to keep safe from hired killers. You’ll have to read this tale to see how they accumulated a child, a bodyguard and a gun toting grandmother.

Readers who love cute and funny romances will get a kick out of SEEING DOUBLE. It’s the first book in the Heartbreaker series by Tamra Baumann, and is one that I highly recommend.

Seeing Double by Tamara Baumann a fun and flirty four-star read. This is the first book in the Heartbreaker Novels, it’s also the first book by this author I have read, and it won’t be the last. This is a paranormal romance but if you don’t like that genre don’t be put off as it’s also got a great story that you could almost oversee that. (The visions in question aren’t crystal ball and fringe veil). I personally enjoy a good paranormal romance so I enjoyed this aspect, but I know not everyone does. There are some scenes of an adult nature and some language used that’s more mature but it’s not every other word. 
Overall Tamara Baumann has written a great story both lead males Michael and Jake have great sides to them that are revealed as you read and Dani is great, she’s a woman of many talents and some she is happier to reveal. The struggles she faces are honest and you can easily relate. Overall a very good read, if you are in the mood for a sweet PRN or a sweet romance then this is the book for you as it covers both very well.

This book was so amazing. I cannot wait to read the next book in Heartbreaker series; it is so charming, captivating, and fun. This will be a book that I will reread more than once. The connection between Dani and Jake her soon to be ex was an important part of this story; the way that the author explained their relationship was heartwarming and enthralling that you cannot help but love them. The connection between Dani and Michael was intense, sizzling, sexy, fun, and dynamic; this part of the story answered so many questions that they both needed answered in order to live their full lives. Thank you very much Tamra Baumann for such an awesome new series and thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read the book and write this review.

Seeing Double was a fun, quirky, entertaining read.  Dani was hilarious.  Having lived in the shadow of her famous mother she's never really seen her own appeal.  Now she has two men looking for her attention and she's not quite sure what to do with either of them.  Jake may be her ex husband but he still wants her.  Not to mention he needs her, ummmm.... special talents.  Then there's Michael.  He seems like a great guy but finding the time to spend with him to find out isn't always easy.  Join in the fun as these three dance around, you won't be disappointed.  I highly recommend it.

An ARC of this book as been provided by the author/ publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

The books tells the story of Dani, spoilt American princess, who finds herself in a pseudo-love triangle with soon to be ex-husband, Jake and childhood friend and crush, Michael.

Dani has a special gift which plays a key role throughout the book.

This is my first foray into books written by Tamra Baumann. I found the characters to be quirky and the story, an easy read. Whilst I'm not a fan of paranormal books, this wasn't overly so. Overall, I enjoyed the book.

This book completely stands alone. It has both cursing (including f-bombs) and on-screen sex.  If those things will cause you to leave a bad review, you should skip this one. 

This is story was interesting to me because I don't typically read books with paranormal-type story lines, but I enjoy Tamra Baumann's writing so much that I decided to give this one a try and I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed it. While Dani's 'visions' were a big part of this story, they weren't at all over the top cheesy or eye-roll worthy. They weren't believable but they were silly and fun which made them interesting rather than off-putting. 

Although this is technically sort of a love triangle story, there is no question who Dani prefers and who she belongs with, so if you don't prefer love triangles don't let that turn you off. This book is written well and carries Tamra Baumann's usual humor and the heart that she writes all of her books with. If you enjoy a laugh and a book that doesn't take itself too seriously, you'll love this one. 

I requested and was very generously granted an ARC of this book via NetGalley and the publisher. I was under no obligation to write this review, I did so because I enjoyed the story.

I loved this book.  Humor, mystery, and paranormal---what else could I want

I just couldn't get into this story, the heroine just lost me from the first page and I never got back into the story.

Sorry, DNF. None of the characters grabbed me, their relationships and quirks were less fun and engaging than I was hoping for. Not my style, but thanks for the chance.

this is such a lovely story to read. Not read anything by this author before but thought she has done a great job with this book. I really enjoyed how the main characters came together allowing for an enjoyable HEA.

This is the first book I this series by this author. This story is a fun read with just enough twists in the story to keep you hooked. In this story they are a few different story lines but by the end of the book they are joined together. I loved the characters they were really well written. The characters were very likeable and quite realistic. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future. 
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

I enjoyed this book and I look forward to more from this author!

Dani Botelli is the (trying to be) reformed spoiled princess of a movie star mom.  Dani is attempting to make a new life where she is independent and standing on her own two feet, but first she must get her soon-to-be ex to agree to a divorce.  Jake relies on Dani and her special gift and is afraid to let her go or is just not convinced it's truly over between them.  Jake and Dani are so close that it makes it difficult for her new interest, Michael (who just so happens to be her high school crush) to believe Dani and Jake are truly over.  I loved Michael with Dani and his struggle to believe she was in as much as he was in the relationship.  Here we have a former NFL quarterback smitten with a woman totally out of character for his persona yet so perfect for him.

There were so many things in this book that caught my interest and is sure to make for a great series to follow.  Dani has been pampered but she wants to be independent and make it own her own.  She possess a special gift that both her mother and grandmother possess as well. Well these women were hilarious together and I can't wait to see how they will be used in future books.  When Dani's life is in danger Michael wants to protect her and be there for her it leads these two on a fun, exciting and sexy journey. However, Michael finds it difficult  to be all in with Jake ever present and very loving to Dani.  When an unexpected visitor throws Dani into a role she never wanted to be in and has her diving into an investigation like none she has ever done before we are sent on a road trip that entertaining, funny and in a way healing for Dani.

Tamra Baumman writes in a way that you are drawn in to the story and feel the heartbreak and passion of the characters.  Dani wants to break free from Jake yet when she finally gets the point across that they are over, that she wants to move on, you feel the heartbreak and pain she feels as he concedes and then moves on.  Michael captures your heart as he had such strong feelings for Dani only to have her completely cut him off.  Years later he discovers those feelings are still there yet he can't trust Dani not to abandon him again. You hurt for Michael yet want him to give in to Dani.

Loved the book!  Can't wait for the next book!

Seeing Double was a fun, quirky read, with just enough twists to keep things interesting!

Dani spends time helping her almost ex-husband solve crimes with her special abilities but she really wants to reconnect with Michael her childhood best friend. She has a big heart and was an easy to like character. She really wants to stand on her own too feet and use her gifts for good.

Michael has reservations about getting involved with Dani again on any level. His reasons for feeling that way don't feel too contrived or fake. Of course there's history and drama there, but it doesn't feel extremely fake or over the top.

A few times it felt like there were too many plot threads going, but in the end they came together for a satisfying ending. I definitely recommend this book!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this sweet PNR.  It could ALMOST pass for a contemporary romance.
