Description

Her twin sister is missing.

When Ariana Costas heard her twin sister, Zoe, had disappeared, Ari left Vermont and returned to her Jersey girl roots to find her. Ari didn’t know what to expect from her search, but danger around every corner, dodging bullets, and a hunk in a leather jacket saving her was not it.

He thought she was someone else.

Detective Quinn Donovan thought he located Zoe Costas. Beautiful, dark haired and a perfect match to the description he’d been given, he believes he has his lady. Except as it turns out, the gorgeous woman is Zoe’s twin Ariana, the college professor. Suddenly, Quinn’s job is more about trying to protect Ari who is in trouble deeper than the Atlantic at high tide. There’s more at stake than trying to protect her without spilling his well-guarded secrets.

Will he lose his heart and the girl in the process?

  • Highly entertaining!

    This is book one in the Costas Sisters series and it features Ariana Costas and Detective Quinn Donovan. He’s undercover and she’s looking for her missing twin sister. These two hit it off right away but is it all part of the investigation? There is A LOT of self reflection going on with ALL of the characters. This is by no means my favorite by this author but the Costas family is a hoot and highly entertaining! I can’t wait to revisit this crazy family in the next book.

  • Wonderful new series!

    Thank you for the new series, Carly Phillips! This story’s characters struggle with deep internal emotions. The psychological dynamics of their respective families follow the decisions they make as adults. Ari and Quinn’s chemistry sparks on first contact. That contact happens when someone takes a shot at Ari (mistaking her for her twin sister) and Quinn knocks her into the sand, protecting her. Quinn realizes who Ari is right away and is surprised by his intense reaction to her. Throughout the story Ari has to come to terms with who she is as Ari and her professor persona Ariana. Can she have both sides of her personality? Quinn takes his job seriously and works to protect everyone he cares for. Deciding to risk a relationship could benefit them both, if they give it a chance. A little different Carly Phillips story, more emotional, a little less heat. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Mix in the wacky family and there are laughs and drama!

    ARC for honest review with no compensation Under The Boardwalk is book 1 in the Costas Sisters series by Carly Phillips and is a reissued book..story of twin Jersey girls and their differences and what brings them together... Ariana Costas left New Jersey 5 yrs ago because she didn’t feel she fit into her wacky family, now she returns home when her twin goes missing. What she doesn’t expect is to be mixed up in something that could have dire consequences and a man who makes her question her life... Quinn Donovan, undercover cop, wants her to go back to Vermont so she isn’t in danger but Ari is determined to find out what her sister was involved in...this leads to money laundering, foster child, a monkey, safe house and so much more! Can Ari trust Quinn with finding her sister Zoe, show her she belongs back with her family and that they belong together! Only time will tell...

    This was one of the first books I read from Carly Phillips many years ago, but this is a release and it was great rediscovering old friends. Arianna and Quinn are a great story and reading their story is great. I could not put this book down. I am never disappointed with a Carly Phillips book, new old or redo.
