Discovery cover

It was like looking in a mirror.

Harris Torrington, Houston’s district attorney is ready to take the next step in his political career, running for governor. Then he crosses paths with Ashe Bristol, the new Houston Texan’s quarterback and is shocked. They look exactly alike.

They aren’t related but are the same age, born in different states and have different birthdays. Until he understands why he has a doppelganger, Harris worries this might hurt his political aspirations. To find answers, Ashe asks his friend, Dr. Sunee Miller, for help.

Sunee, an MD with a PhD in molecular genetics, dedicates her life to cancer patients. After testing Harris and Ashe’s DNA, she’s baffled by the results. The two men are unlike any genetic pairing in existence. What are they?

While trying to solve the mystery, Sunee and Harris fall for each other. But the more they uncover, the greater the danger.

Can they survive long enough to find the answers?

Solid series start!

I really enjoyed the idea behind this series–a shadowy mystery group who is creating “designer children” for some mysterious cause? Two (or are there more???) strangers who could almost be identical twins, except that their genetics are not quite right? All with an opposites attract-style romance? Yes, please!

Sunee and Harris are really sweet together, and though it did feel like their ILYs came a bit quick, I can’t be too mad about it because of course I was shipping them hard. The secondary characters (Kat, Ashe, Piper) were a lot of fun too; let’s just say that the mystery of what exactly is going on with the designer children isn’t the only reason I’m going to my stalking Ms Dixon’s author page for new release dates 😉

Discovery starts the series off right by introducing the designer children concept and giving our first couple a fairly complete romance–though we don’t quite see where they’re going with their HEA. Will Sunee be able to overcome her extreme social anxiety? Will Harris have to eventually choose Sunee over his political ambitions? We don’t yet know, and will hopefully find out in future books as we also figure out more about what exactly is going on with the designer children project that the baddies are engaging in.

Anxiously anticipating the next book!
