About this ebook
With all sorts of delightful Parent Trap-style identical twin hijinks, The Invention of Sophie Carter is the perfect light-and-sweet palate cleanser.
1851. Bounced from one home to another their whole lives, orphaned identical twins Sophie and Mariah Carter have always relied on each other for love and support, even though the sisters couldn't be more different.
Brash Sophie wants to be an inventor, and demure Mariah wants to be an artist. Both long to visit London for the summer—Sophie to see the Queen’s Great Exhibition and Mariah to study the world’s finest collection of paintings. But when their cantankerous aunt answers their letter pleading for a place to stay, she insists she only has time and room to spare for one of them.
So, Mariah and Sophie hatch a clever scheme: They will travel to London together and take turns playing the part of "Sophie".
At first the plan runs like clockwork. But as the girls avoid getting caught by increasingly narrow margins and two handsome gentlemen—both of whom think they’re falling in love with the real Sophie Carter—enter the equation, the sisters find they don’t have the situation quite as under control as they thought.

Thank you NetGalley and Samantha Hastings for this eARC of The Invention of Sophie Carter! I read this book in no time! I love historical fiction with a bit of fun thrown into the mix! The twin sisters my look alike but they are very different personalities, to read them both trying to be Sophie was so much fun and the trouble they get in to. The romance of the 2 different gentleman was lovely written and London was described in such detail, it feels like you are transported there! I love Samantha's books and everyone should them if you love romance, strong lead female characters and of course a bit of fun! I will post my review on Netgalley, Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Google play!
