Rebecca & Zack's Story

The Perfect lie turns lethal in this Fake Dating Romance

After a long volunteering stint in South Africa, hot shot doctor Zack Cole is ready to move on with his life and get his residency job back. At his brother's engagement party things take an unexpected turn when he finds himself kissing a beautiful guest.

With a bad case of mistaken identity, a passionate kiss he can’t stop thinking about, and a marriage proposal, this gorgeous stranger turns his carefully constructed world upside down.

Former cartel accountant turned spy, Rebecca Smith is desperate to stay in the states; returning to Venezuela would be a death sentence for sure. Her only hope is for the steamy doctor to accept her twelve-month deal.

Rebecca needs a fake husband to get a green card and stay alive. But will pretending to love him for a whole year break her heart for real?

Author's Note: Contains explicit love scenes and mild violence. No cheating. No cliffhangers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Zack and Rebecca
    Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2023
    In Zack and Rebecca's story which was absolutely amazing! The instant attraction is palpable and engulfing. Their story has a lot more angst and the tension in this book was off the charts! I loved their story and the hulls and battles they had to fight to be able to be together! I would absolutely recommend these books

    Zack and Rebecca’s story was so good. From the first kiss, sparks flew. Their chemistry was so hot I could feel it through the pages.
    Rebecca has always wanted a different life, a better life for herself and her brother, Jack. She tried so hard to make that happen on her own but it didn’t work out that way. In comes Zack to save the day 😆. They start out with a fake marriage so both of them can get what they want in the end. Little did they know that they both would fall hard for each other. No matter how hard Rebecca pushes Zack away, he does not give up easily. It answered so many questions while also giving me another pov and gave other things I didn’t know had happened at times.
    Their story is so hot and steamy with action and suspense to keep you wanting to continue reading. I love Diana A. Hicks and her writing style. I have read some of her other books and they are always so good.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting story, I loved it!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2020
    What an intriguing story. I was immediately drawn into the tale when the hero Zack - was mistakenly identified as his brother by the stunningly beautifully woman Rebecca. The mystery then begins to unfold, a fake husband is needed, the cartel are on her heels and is Zack up to the challenge? She needs help!
    The thrills and danger are fast a coming in this exciting adventure and the romance is hot and spicy.
    The story is a an addictive read, pretty hard to put down. The characters are awesome, very different but they complemented each other. And the plot line was very well thought out, it was exciting and kept me invested in the out come.
    An excellent read. I highly recommend this book!

    Defy You the final book in the Cole Brothers series was fantastic! I loved it! Zack and Rebecca were great together! Their attraction was instant and their chemistry was hot! They had some clever banter. This story kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next!

I’m eager to see what Diana has in store for us next!

    If you kept up with the Cole Brothers series then you know who these men are. Well Defy You is Zack's story. Zack is an amazing doctor. He may have ran to Africa but that helped shape him into he is today. One not afraid or uncapable to face danger. Rebecca is a cartel princess, a survivor and looking to change her life. She's had help along they way by the Cole brothers and you will see sparks fly with one she didn't see coming. I love Zack and Rebecca together. You feel the draw from day one. Zack has such a big heart and you can tell everything he goes through with Rebecca is so much more. I really loved this one. You have to read this one to find out what goes down for Rebecca and Zack.

    4.0 out of 5 stars End of a series
    Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2020
    So I'm gonna be completely honest here and tell you what I think of Rebecca, the heroine of this book. I had an extremely hard time reading this book because of her. She is probably my least liked heroine this year. She wanted one thing and she could've even keep that promise to herself. She thought that everything was either her responsibility or her fault. Without going into spoilers, I get that this was a life that she grew up in but did she really think that she was strong enough, tough enough to survive everything on her own?? She wasn't and time and time again see proved that. It wasn't until the very end when she finally realized what she wanted, what she needed, that she gained her full strength. Now as for Zack.. that man was so lovable. No, he wasn't perfect. He had his faults. But he at least tried to do the right thing. He was just what Rebecca needed. There were what each other needed.

    This book is the last book in the series. While you don't necessarily need to read the other books I would recommend that you do. Especially Unleash Me, as there are events from that book that coincide with this book. Either way you will have a better understanding if you read this series from the beginning. If you like a lot of drama and angst then you may just love this series. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*

    4.0 out of 5 stars hot and suspenseful and entertaining
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2020
    Zack's finally come home. Unfortunately his ex, who's now married to the man she cheated on him with, is at his brother's engagement party, too. He needs a distraction from it all, and it comes in the form of a mistaken identity and a hot kiss.

    Rebecca's desperate. She wants (needs) to stay in the US and the man who rescued her is her last hope. Too bad she mistakes his twin brother for Wes, because there's no way Zack will agree to a marriage of convenience, will he?

    I'm sad this is that last of the Cole Brothers series, because I've really enjoyed all the suspense and intrigue and the love each brother finally finds. Here in Defy You, Zack finally gets the happiness he deserves, even if it starts with him being mistaken for his twin, who's very much not available thank you very much. Like his brothers, Zack's story is hot and suspenseful and entertaining. The only thing I didn't really like about it is the heroine, Rebecca, irritated me to no end. But Zack is awesome enough to cancel out her annoying personality, so 4 stars is still a fair rating.

    I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy.

    We met Rebecca & Zack in previous books with there own stories as with all the other books all characters are entwined in some way.

    I loved all the brothers, I loved their individual love stories & how as a family they beat all the odds. Love conquers all.

    Great series
    Definitely worth a read if u love a hot, action packed happily ever after storyline😁😊
