3,5 stars rounded up to 4

I've read other books by this author and liked them, but I like this one the best. The plot was original and I liked the characters. It was well written and I encourage everyone who likes a steamy romance with a bit of heartache to read it!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for kindly providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved every book that RVD has put out and this was no exception!! Y'all there is deception, there's revenge (not really?!) there's deceit and there's redemption. I mean, you throw all that in a book and throw two sexy people together...what do you have? You have the fantastic makings for reality TV lol!! Seriously, this could and should be a reality TV series. I would watch it. I read this while binge-watching UnREAL on HULU and I kept thinking this would have made such an awesome pitch for a pilot episode. She doesn't know he's the brother and he's not gonna tell her....OMG - I cannot wait for the next book. I'm not giving anything away except what happens isn't what you think.

I liked how it was filled with drama, swoon moments, endearing characters, sizzling chemistry and romance. It was like watching a movie play out in your head. There is a lot of ups and downs that these characters have to go through to get to their HEA. Has all the feels that you have come to know you will get in a Rachel Van Dyken story. This author is able to write any genre of a book and have you totally engrossed in every single story she writes and has you coming back for more every single time she brings out a new book. Just wish I could give more stars. Happy reading!!

This was so good! I love the author's other books, so I knew this would be great and it definitely lived up to my expectations. The twin swap was done in a way that I can actually believe it and Bridge and Isobel's relationship was amazing. He's such a good guy, he cared for Izzy and didn't want to hurt her or take advantage. Isobel put up with a lot of emotional abuse from Julian because she hoped he'd go back to being the guy she loved. I wanted to tear through this as soon as I started and I'm already excited for the next book!

Love love loved this book! This story had ALL THE ANGST! I went through a roller coaster of emotions and loved every second of it! Rachel can write so many different types of books but her flawless writing and captivating storylines always suck me in, in the best way! I adored Bridge and Izzy! I was wanting their happily ever after more than them at some points! Lol Another phenomenal book for this amazing author! Can’t wait for book 2!

So many mixed emotions on this one. It was heartbreaking in a way, and in another it was disturbing. I want to know more about Julian, I want Bridge and Izzy to get the happiness they deserve. I want “dad” to get run over. The quilt Bridge and Izzy felt was almost touchable. Great story and can’t wait for the next one.

When I got ther approval for this book I was so excited. Who wouldn't be its it's a book by a seriously talented author. This book is so not like any of her other books though it was still good I just had a hard time getting into this book.

Julian and Bridge are twins and Bridge was the bigger twin out of the two who would as always stick up for and protect Julian that was until thier parents divorced and Julian stayed with his dad and bridge went with his mom.

Years later of no contact and years of hurt and hate Bridge finds out his brother was involved in a major accident and his dad needs Bridge to cover for his brother to step in and be Julian. Easy enough right? But what happens when he meets Julian's fiance can he be the cold hearted business man and a fiance to a woman he has no business having feelings for?

What will happen when and if Julian wakes up? Can Bridge pull off the switch? Will Isabel find out that it's not Julian that's sleeping in her bed? So many questions and it's only the first book! I'm looking forward to the next book!

In “Stealing Her (Covet #1)” by Rachel Van Dyken we are thrown into the lives of twins Bridge and Julian. When their parents get divorced, they are separated with each going with one parent and raised in two totally different worlds. But years later when Julian gets in a horrible accident Bridge needs to step up to the plate to not only save what his twin has worked his whole life for but to save their mom. But stepping in to pretend to be Julian does not turn out as expected – mainly because of Isobel – Julian’s ex-fiancée.

You will have to read the book to see what actually happens with the unplanned love triangle. I am a big fan of Rachel Van Dyken and while the story was a little unbelievable at times it was also a fun read. Looking forward to Covet #2.

I received this book through Net Galley and this is my honest review

I actually enjoyed this one. It was a bit crazy sauce but the writing was good and the story was interesting. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

I love a HEA and I'm hoping Julian will get his too. I love the writing style, the story, the romance, the H and h, ... I really enjoyed reading this book. I hope there will be more.

First book by Rachel Van Dyken and defiantly won't be the last. Loved this story! It was something completely different from any romance I've read before.
Twins who were once close then be OK separated after their parents divorce and end up living totally different lives. Julian who went to live with his rich dad and does anything he can to seek his father's approval. Bridge living with his sick mum works upto 3 jobs to pay for her medical bills. Julian gets involved in an accident and his manipulative father gets Bridge to step into Julians life to protect the company they own from snowballing. He does this whilst trying to not fall in love with Julians fiance.
Fabulous story loved the characters. You can really get a few for the turmoil Bridge is going through. Can't wait to read more by Rachel

The blurb totally sucked me into this book. I loved the idea about a twin pretending to be their sibling. It was a bit unrealistic, but I did really enjoy the switcharoo storyline.

I loved Bridge’s character. He was a respectable hero and he had good reasons for participating in the deceit. I was rooting for him the whole way through.

Isabel was a bit harder to love. I just wanted her to stick up for herself and tell Julian to go take a hike. But, if she had done that, there would have been no story.

I don’t know how I feel about Julian. He was kind of the bad guy in this, but it did seem that he may not have been as bad as we are lead to believe. I’m thinking the author has plans for him in a future book.

The father. No redeeming qualities and I wanted to him to get his due.

Overall, a drama filled story that was pretty darn enjoyable.

This book was addicting! I loved reading about the family betrayal and lies, while also capturing loyalty and forgiveness. I can't wait to see what Rachel Van Dyken does to redeem characters in the next book! I look forward to reading more from this series and recommend it to anyone who loves romance.

Stealing Her by Rachel Van Dyken
The latest book by Rachel Van Dyken, the first in the Covet series, can only be described as WOW! Stealing Her is heart wrenching and sad story but intriguing at the same time. As always Van Dyken writes a powerful story that will sucker punch you in the gut. This book didn’t seem like the usual writing style of Van Dyken as it was a little more on the darker side, not as in sinister, but sadder than what she normally writes. Hats off to Stealing Her another 5-star read by Rachel Van Dyken.
Bridge and Julian Tennyson have been separated for years. The once best friends/brothers are now adults and having grown apart, the rift bigger than either one ever imagined. Tragedy strikes and Bridge’s estranged father shows up needing his son’s help. Bridge needs to take his twin brother’s place at the company and help complete a cooperate take over, so the public doesn’t know that Julian’s life is hanging on by a thread. All Bridge must do is pretend to be Julian at the office and live his life, including living with Julian’s fiancée. Isobel Cunningham is confused by the change in the man that she was supposed to marry. He looks the same and sounds the same but he’s acting different. Mr. Tennyson is pushing for Isobel and Julian to marry as soon as the takeover is finished but how can she after all the hurtful things he’s done, but he seems to be almost like the man she fell in love with. Bridge must get Isobel to go through with the marriage so he can complete his obligation but how does he do that without feeling guilty for Stealing Her away from the brother he was supposed to protect?

I absolutely loved this book. I really don’t know what else to say! There were so many emotions but not too angsty. I can’t wait for book two.

What an amazing read! I went in blind and absolutely loved this forbidden storyline with twists and turns that keep you hooked until the last page! There’s sizzling hot chemistry and angst between the characters. A must read!!

Stealing Her by Rachel Van Dyken a four-star read you will want to steal. This is number one in the Covet series and I am excited to see what happens next as it shows great promise to be a great series as it has good bones, just missed a little something. Bridge and Julian are so unlike each other, true opposites, I enjoyed reading Bridge for the most part, but I didn’t enjoy Julian as much for most of the story. This is a beautiful bit not always easy story; the emotional story is rich and compelling but the POV of multiple people was well done and will keep you reading. I was so close to giving this five-stars, but it just missed a little something.

Holy moly, what a book! Such a twisty story, you won’t know which way is up, but I was totally and completely hooked right from the start! I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the series!

Wowza! What an phenomenal read. RVD has packed this book with so many different emotions. Stealing Her is unputdownable.

Bridge Anderson never thought that he would have to be a stand in for his twin. Once the two brothers went in different directions, there were many years of hate and resentment that Bridge had for Julian. Even though he had vowed to protect him always.

Isobel Cunningham is over her fiancé. She’s ending things because she is over the lies, cheating and control. Until an accident happens and Julian comes home completely different. He comes back as the man she loved before the trust fund. Even though she knows there is something different about him.

We follow as Bridge, steps into Julian’s life, his work, his clothes, his home and as he falls for his fiancé. But when Julian awakes, everything changes.

I honestly loved everything about this book.

Highly recommended.

*I was given a free advanced copy of this book by Net Galley in exchange for my honest and voluntary review. All thoughts and opinions are those of my own.*

OMG! What did I just read? Rachel Van Dyken has done it again. She is an automatic one click for me. I requested this on Netgalley before I ever saw a blurb.

I couldn’t put it down. I had to keep reading to see what was going to happen next.

I don’t even know what to say in this review.

I felt for Bridge, Julian, and Izzy. All three were put in a bad situation by someone who was suppose to love them.

Bridge was definitely in the worst position.

Betrayal, guilt, love…He deals with it all.

Julian was completely in the dark. But is is his fault what happened between him and Izzy.

Izzy was just stuck. She did seem a little weak at first. But she was broken and scared. I loved watching her heal.

I love what happened when Julian and Bridge teamed up.

I want Julian to get a book. He deserves some happiness also.
