I've missed this series so much. Thankfully, the wait was worth it because Sagittarius Saves Libra is now one of my favourites in this series.
It has Parent Trap shenanigans, fake dating (but it was real the entire time

This was so cute to read. Gave me all the feels and also I need a Owen for myself!!
This book made me stupidly happy. It was cute, it was sweet, it was laugh out loud funny -- it was just all of the good things.

<i> <b>“What does your future look like?”
“Y’know, I think it looks just like yours.”</i></b>
Jason is a bit lost, he doesn't particularly feel happy or content with his life. He's trying to chase that feeling of belonging and a life that feels "right". Probably doesn't help that his ex girlfriend is now engaged. In comes his twin brother on a spontaneous visit. His twin brother who he actually only found out about in the last few years. His twin, Carl has found himself being best man to his ex boyfriend in their small town and realising it's actually a lot more difficult than he thought. Here comes the plan: swap lives for three weeks until the wedding is over and done with. Easy. No issues. Unless Jason as Carl goes and gets himself a fake/oh no this feels real boyfriend in neighbour and local cop Owen. Oops.
Deception is top of my list for least liked situations in a book or in general. Luckily for me, Jason is truly terrible and Owen figures him out almost immediately so the deception there isn't an issue, however he's still keeping up the ruse for everyone else.
Jason is clueless and so, Owen suffers a lot in this book which honestly is pretty amazing lol. I didn't think he was gonna survive it. With Jason's cluelessness there are plenty of unfortunate innuendos. For the most part they're funny but I'm definitely a person who has a limit and I was reaching it by the end. I could have also done without the classical music innuendos/descriptors. Especially in sex scenes. Absolutely could have done without all that. And the "Sergeant Stirling, Sir" like what was the point?! Every time the sir was said was just weird to me honestly.
One thing I have to say is that in this book and I believe in others by this author too there is a low level of hinted kink. It feels like the author wants to go further with it but is afraid of pushing boundaries because it maybe hasn't really been the style of these books or her books in general. Even as someone who doesn't particularly seek books out with kink in them, if it's something she wants to write she should because the writing feels like it's holding back. Now, I could be completely wrong and perhaps the author just isn't comfortable writing it but wants to show that it exists in the characters relationship and wants to show it subtly.
This story is set in a small town, less overbearing neighbours but more everyone knows everyone and really, it's about a sense of belonging. For Jason he slots so well into this life that's not truly his and with Owen who isn't truly his and yet it's as "right" as he's ever felt. While we don't get Owen's POV, it's easy to see how fast he accepts Jason into his life even amidst the painful cluelessness and waiting for Jason to catch up. There are opportunities for angst but this is a low angst story so where the story of the family dynamics where one twin was kept in the family although not by their mother and the other twin wasn't, that's not delved into, it is much more about belonging. Naturally the weight of the secret and the fallout of the secret is *there*. It's more that we see the development of Jason and Owen's relationship and I enjoyed it because it's a good, happy journey and we see all the moments. The story didn't feel as slow burn as the author usually does.
Anyta Sunday isn't an author who always does the secondary characters stories even if it feels like it's being set up but there are definitely two possible books that could happen here:
-Carl's story. I neeeeed this. Carl obviously got himself into his own situation as he pretended to be Jason and I need to know everything.
- An MMM story involving Alex, Owen's nephew.
Very interested to see if anything will happen on those fronts.
Also I wish the author would have some thing made up of what secondary characters get books. Or if the characters we meet are from other books. Sometimes with characters there are some comments that make me think they're from other books but even though I've read this whole series and other ones from this author, my memory is brutal and I just like to know any connections that may be there.

It’s the regular twin swap paired with fake dating and real feelings!
I liked this one. Didn’t love it but it was a fun, easy read. Jason (aka Carl) was funny and clueless but not as ridiculous as some of Anyta Sunday’s other MCs (looking at you Cancer Ships Aquarius!) Owen is a sweet love interest that genuinely made me laugh a few times.
I wish there was a final chapter where all the couples from previous books got together. I did love the little nod to one character, but I wanted more! I’d love to see all six couples together for a final installment or something.
Still, fun read! This series got me through some tough times. I’m going to miss it.

This was really adorable and sweet. That is, if you like stories about adorable dingdongs who constantly draw the (hilariously) wrong conclusions and can’t see what’s right in front of their faces, for example, that their next door neighbor/cop/fake boyfriend is hopelessly in love with them. And sure, there’s a little of the wrong conclusion-drawing at the end that builds to the climax, of which I’m not such a fan. But the rest of it is so good, it’s totally worth it.
If you enjoy stories about romantically competent people who recognize who recognize when double entendres are spilling from their lips and would absolutely under no circumstances be convinced to crawl into a doghouse wearing a dog collar, this is not the book for you.
Which is to say of course that I had a smashingly good time with this.
