Score I read this book and absolutely loved it. Zephirin Black (Zeph) is a football player that has trust issues and Sophia Cruz is a computer geek but she takes her sisters place as a model. What Sophia didn’t expect was to hit it off with Zeph and even though they agreed that it was going to a one night only thing, they both want more. Can they really have more since they have lies between them. This is a great story that I could not put down and Naima Simone did not disappoint.

5 Star Review Scoring With The Wrong Twin by Naima Simone Naima Simone is a new author to me and I have to ask myself why that is. This was a relatively quick read but one that ticked all the boxes for me. Sophia Cruz is the shy and geeky identical twin of Giovanna, a successful up and coming model. When her sister convinces her to substitute for her at a modelling shoot, Sophia has no idea that it will change her life in ways she has never imagined. Giovanna has always been the beautiful twin, whilst Sophia was often bullied at school and overlooked as the plain , overweight twin. Attending the shoot Sophia meets and is immediately attracted to Zephirin Black, a tall, gorgeous tight end for the Washington Warriors. Zeph isn’t looking for romance after being badly burnt by his ex girlfriend he has sworn to never trust a woman again, especially if he finds out they have lied to him. However he too is attracted to “Giovanna”, a woman he has met before but who seems so different this time. Sophia is shocked at how beautiful she feels in the photo shoot and decides after initially rejecting Zeph, to jump into a one night stand. Zeph has no idea that Sophia is posing as Giovanna and she is terrified when their one night stand, turns into more and more. What will Zeph do when he finds out that it is Sophia and not Giovanna who has captured his attention? Will he forgive her or walk away? I loved Zeph and Sophia, both separately and together and so wanted them to get their happily ever after. Their chemistry was off the charts and I loved Zeph’s love and devotion for the grandmother who raised him. The characters were relatable and not only was it a spicy read it was also funny. This book had me gripped from the first chapter and I couldn’t put it down, reading in one sitting. I will definitely be reading more from Naima Simone.

Sophia has self-esteem issues, Zeph has trust issues and the secret she hides could implode what they've started to build together. Scoring with the Wrong Twin is a tempestuous romance with a powerful message of self image and second chances.
