Lies and attraction abound when a savvy businessman posing as his twin and an oil baron’s niece battle over a family farm in this steamy romance from New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello.
I just found out I have an identical twin. Wasn’t looking for one. Would have preferred to not have one, but here we are. We have nothing in common. I was adopted by a successful businessman who raised me to see life as a game and gave me the skills to win it. Him? He is about to lose his family’s farm. You heard me–farm.
Lucky for him, I’m a firm believer that when it comes to family, no one goes to battle alone. I’m in. I’ve switched lives with him and will use every business trick I know to save his farm.
However, my initial plan did not take into account a drop-dead gorgeous oil rep or the secrets I uncover about my brother. And worst of all, I’m starting to like the farm and all its inhabitants. I can’t stop thinking about that oil rep. This will definitely take longer to resolve than anticipated.

Summary
Strictly Business by Ruth Cardello is a fun romance with a little bit of mystery and danger thrown in. I caught myself chuckling many times at the conversations the characters had with each other and within their own heads. I will definitely be reading more books by Ruth now.
I enjoyed the relationship the brothers had with each other, even the new twin, Scott. And the author left just enough tidbits that I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series; both Scott and Thane’s stories.
Crystal was a flavor chemist which I found to be very interesting. The chemistry between her and Scott/Jessie was off the charts. Crystal was someone you cheered for. She had insecurities but was brave enough to still go after what she wanted.
