STEALING HER by Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: November 5, 2019

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes an unexpected love story of family, secrets, and the most intimate of deceptions.

My estranged twin brother, Julian, was always the wonder boy—and was groomed to become CEO of our ruthless father’s corporation. My mother and me? Left behind. Now, years after tearing our family apart, my father dares to ask me for a favor? Pretend to be Julian while he fights to survive a tragic accident. It can save the company. Nobody will be the wiser. It’ll be our secret.

I can play Dad’s favorite. I’ll do it for Julian. And for my mother, who’ll want for nothing.

But this double life comes with a beauty of a hitch: my very real feelings for Julian’s fiancée, Isobel. Not only am I betraying Julian, I’m deceiving a woman I love. She doesn’t suspect a thing. As lies compound, lines are crossed and loyalties tested, all I can ask myself is…What have I done?

Because sooner or later something’s got to give. There’s no way I’m giving up Isobel. But once the truth is exposed, it might not be my choice at all.

My Review

This book is everything. There is so much emotional depth woven in the words and actions between Izzy and Bridge that I had to read it a second time already. STEALING HER is a beautifully composed story of strength and perseverance and soul-searching love.

RVD has masterfully given us a love story that is epic and wonderful. The words flow between characters and their actions speak louder than their words. This read has now become one of my favorite books of 2019, and dare I say, one of my favorite RVD books.

The intensity of the characters is believable and their backstories draw the reader in even further. There are emotional trials throughout the pages, but I believe that it makes the story that much better.

These characters will stay with me for a long time, and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
