I really like Jessica Lemmons writing so I was excited to read this book. But honestly I was a bit lost at the beginning. I felt like there were other books that came before and I did not know what happened in those stories.

This book is part of the Dynasties: Beaumont Bay series, which is a series that Jessica Lemmon shares with Jules Bennet. The authors switch between writing books in this series. I think its also the last book in the series.

I did not know this when I saw this book posted on Netgallery. I really don't think this book stands alone. That said while I was very lost at tiimes I did enjoy getting to know the two main characters of hHallie and Gavin. Its a bit of a good girl and the bad boy kinda storyline. They also are family as her sister and his brother are married..

This was an enjoyable story about friendship, love family and finding your place in the world.

Fun conclusion to the series. This is the story of Gavin Sutherland, youngest of the four brothers and unrepentant playboy, and Hallie Banks, the quieter, "good" twin to her superstar sister Hannah.

Hallie has always preferred living in the background, avoiding the spotlight, which works well as her sister's career manager. However, lately, she's felt as though something is missing in her life. She longs to break free of her fear of breaking the rules and do something outrageous and fun. Just talking to Gavin would be a start, but she feels like she turns into a blithering idiot whenever she's near him.

Gavin likes his bachelor life. He makes sure the women he's with know not to expect anything serious from him. He works hard as a music industry lawyer with his brothers' music studio, and he plays hard. He frequently sees Hallie thanks to her sister being married to his brother and their work together on Hannah's career. Gavin believes that Hallie doesn't like him because she won't meet his eyes and avoids him whenever possible.

The story gets off to a rough start between Hallie and Gavin as she steps out of her comfort zone, and Gavin mistakes her for her sister. Gavin sticks his foot in his mouth with some observations about Hallie (he thinks he's talking to Hannah), and Hallie doesn't react well. I enjoyed the scene the next day as the truth came out, and they cleared the air. Hallie makes up her mind to ask Gavin to teach her how to break free of her rut. When he confesses to needing help with the interior decorator for his house, Hallie offers up a trade - lessons in rule-breaking for her assistance with his home.

I enjoyed watching Hallie break out of her shell. Gavin does a terrific job of starting her out slow and working up to more daring things. I loved how she thought she was doing great when she drove the sports car a whole eight miles per hour over the speed limit. Neither expected to discover their attraction reciprocated. I liked seeing Hallie take the initiative, though I must admit that her rule-breaking in that instance was asking for trouble. Gavin is honest about his attitude toward relationships which suits Hallie just fine.

I loved watching the development of the relationship between Hallie and Gavin. They have fun together, and their chemistry is undeniable. Gavin is sweet in his determination to help Hallie fulfill her goals, and sometimes she surprises him. I loved the skinny-dipping scene at the lake and his shock at her actions. Hallie's insights into Gavin made helping the interior decorator a breeze. The more time Gavin and Hallie spent together, the deeper their connection grew. Hallie suspected early that she fell for him, but Gavin resisted admitting his feelings for a long time. His brothers see it and call him on it, but Gavin refuses to give in.

Hallie is shocked when she gets pregnant (no idea why she's shocked considering the rule she broke). She knows Gavin's views on marriage and children, but she finds she wants more than he's willing to give. She breaks off their relationship without telling him why, leaving Gavin wondering what went wrong. He spends several miserable days before Hallie's friends and sister confront him and point out his idiocy (without giving away her secret). I loved how he saw the light and immediately set out to make things right. I loved his big moment at the end, and his heartfelt "I was convinced loving someone meant missing out on life. You taught me being in love made life better" and "I'm about to break the biggest rule in my world and beg you for forever." One of the things I loved about Gavin was that he saw past her resemblance to her sister and loved Hallie for herself. I also liked how Hallie gained more confidence in herself as she stepped out from Hannah's shadow.

The epilogue was a terrific wrap-up to the series. I enjoyed seeing all four couples together and catching up with their lives. I had to laugh at Gavin poking at Cash about who has the better house. Hallie's happiness and contentment are evident, as is Gavin's joy in his life.

Fantastic read from Jessica Lemmon.
I love the characters and the story is well done . I actually couldn’t stop reading. Good thing this book is short because I read it in one sitting.

I highly recommend .

This is a romance, and this is the 4th book in the Dynasties: Beaumont Bay series. I am sad to say this book was not for me. I found the story its self to be boring and nothing that pulled me in. I also found the characters to be flat, and I could not make myself care about any of the characters. I really wanted to love this story, and I am not sure if its is the writing style of this book that I did not get along with. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Desire) or author (Jessica Lemmon) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

What a wonderful romance full of banter, romance, and workaholics.

I loved watching Hallie and Gavin’s romance grow from a not-exactly-nice comment he made to “Hallie’s twin”. I really liked Hallie, she was a smart and strong character. Gavin was a hot, handsome, smart man who knew what he wanted and figured out a way to have it…however…maybe they should have been more “careful” when they went after what they wanted.

Good Twin Gone Country can be read as a stand-alone, however…the Beaumont Bay series has characters that flow through all of the books in this series, and it is definitely better if you read them in order. 4.25 stars

Conclusion to the series of 4 books that Jessica Lemmon and Jules Bennett balanced perfectly. While I wanted to dive into this immediately I waited and read them all in order- and I think it was totally worth it! We got to know these two characters in the other books, getting hints of what was to come. These two authors need to collaborate again, and often. Quick read (breezed thru and realised I’m going to be tired at work tomorrow having stayed up too late!) and a great purse book. You know; the kind you keep with you to sneak a read whenever you have a chance!

3/5 Stars

** I received this as an E-ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review, Thank you!**

I did enjoy my time reading this book however I didn't love it. I felt like it was missing something. Everything fell just a little flat for me. I can't say if it was the actual book or just me ( it's probably me). I will say that the romance was cute and I did like seeing the couple interact with each other. Overall it was an average book for me, I had fun and would recommend.

Hallie is the good girl twin. Always the one taking care of everything. Now she wants to be bad and Gavin Sutherland is just the one to teach her how to let loose. Watching these two get to know each other and become close was so exciting! This was a fun and flirty read. You get a little of all the previous couples in this series as well. It's hard to decide on a favorite of the series but I have a special admiration for Hallie. I awesome wrap up to the four book series.

Hallie and Gavin were so good together, but it almost never happened. It took Gavin sticking both feet in his mouth and Hallie wanting to break out of the monotony to even start the glimmer of a possibility for them. It’s a classic case of boy wanting girl and vice versa, yet no one having the nerve to make a move. But Hallie proved braver than Gavin, for sure. And so their risks begin...

My one real issue with this book was the whole “I want to go unprotected because it’s breaking a rule” move. First, assuming that Gavin was safe because he’d always suited up was plain dumb. Second, really? There’s a difference between living a little and being flat out irresponsible and possibly unsafe. That said, at least these two were monogamous and we didn’t have any serious ick factor moments of worry. I’m just a little tired of books employing this tactic because we all know better than to assume. Okay, rant over.

Back to Gavin and Hallie. Once they cleared the air, with some serious help from others, all was good. So this is a quick, sweet, sometimes steamy read about finding your best self and embracing the life you want. And I’m always happy about a couple finding that confidence and HEA.

Hallie knows that she is pretty much the opposite of her twin sister, Hannah. Hannah likes to wear flashy outfits and is outgoing while Hallie is an introvert who wears practical clothes. When Hallie tries to step outside of her comfort zone, Gavin mistakes her for Hannah which devastates her. Once Gavin realizes what he's done he tries to fix it but it's tough going. Hallie and Gavin eventually get together but their relationship is complicated by his commitment phobia and a surprise pregnancy. Enjoyable romance.

I hadn’t read the previous books in the series, but I’m definitely going to now! Hallie and Gavin made a great couple who liked to “break the rules”. The relationships with the other girls were wonderful. The brothers’ banter was fun too. Gavin finally realizing what he was missing was sweet.

Of course anything Harlequin gets my attention, and that is because their authors are consistently bringing believable love stories with great characters and lots of passion. This novel is no exception. Although not my very favorite, it does come pretty close, providing a welcome escape with is easy entertaining read.

I liked Good Twin Gone Country, but I think it could have been better. Though both main characters are nice and interesting, they could have been better developed and more depth to both them and their relationship could have been given. Gavin's motivations were really weak and it was never explained why he was so opposed to marriage and kids etc. The pregnancy part is almost a spoiler as it happens so late in the book it's not actually a big part of the conflict in the story (even if it plays a part in the "separation"). I liked the novel, but Jessica Lemmon has written better (in this series, in fact). 3.5 stars
