Description
Romance and manga becomes one in Harlequin Manga!
Eliza does her twin sister a favor and goes to a party in her place, but how long will she be able to fend off the roguish glances of her sister’s boyfriend? He seems intent on taking her to bed. Eliza is trying to find a way out of the situation when her first love, Giles, appears out of the crowd. Just seeing his face brings back old memories…and he’s the only one who can help her now! She explains the situation and asks for his help. But he says he wants something in return!

This was such an adorable read! Giles was so amazing. I loved how playful he was, but when things didn't go his way he quickly changed his mood. Eliza was funny. I liked how she tried to deny her feelings for Giles. The two of them together was awesome. I enjoyed how they both fell in love with one another but never didn't anything but tease the other. This was a perfect story and a great ending. I will say I did not care for the other two men interested in Eliza. One was a pervert and the other was obsessive. Team Giles! Artwork was stunning!

I was curious as I never read a romance in a manga format. It was lovely, I loved both the design and the story.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Harlequin Manga and Netgalley for this ARC

What was meant to be a temporary Exchange of identities between two identical twin sisters turns into a chance of making up for past mistakes and misunderstandings and give true love a chance. The heroine is rather dense when it comes to men's feelings, but luckily everything turns out for the best.

I'm still not entirely convinced that manga adaptations of cheesy old category romances are a good idea... that said, I'm not a big fan of cheesy old category romances, so I may just not be the target audience! As a manga, this is perfectly satisfactory; the art is clean and attractive and the story is easy to follow and wraps up neatly. There's not much in the way of character development, though, which is probably a flaw carried over from the original. All in all, it's hard to fit a very interesting story into 128 pages. I have no idea how Harlequin decides which books to turn into manga and I would be more interested in seeing longer adaptations of better-quality originals -- maybe some of the Nora Roberts juvenilia that they still have the rights to? But again, I don't know how that decision process works.
