"Good storytelling"
Small Alaskan airline owner Jordan Adamson never knew he
had a twin brother until his sibling Jeffrey Bradshaw
arrived from the lower Forty-eight on a business trip.
Both are shocked, as they are mirror images of one another. Jordan believes in the motto that the customer is always
right (for the most part that is except for safety). Yet
he still cannot figure out how living by that creed has
sent him to Los Angels pretending to be Jeffrey even if a
storm stranded his sibling in the wilderness. Even worse
he is making a pitch that his sibling should be making.
Making matters feel Murphyesque to Jordan is his new found
brother's promotion competitor Ashley Baines is he wants in
his igloo forever, but fears the repercussions they would
cause to his sibling. Twins seemingly are multiplying at an incredible rate in
the fiction realm with Temptation joining in the duality
with a pair serving as the lead in two of the August
sweepstakes. Barbara Dunlop provides the audience with an
amusing contemporary romance in which misconduct and
duplicity serve as anchors to TOO CLOSE TO CALL. The story
line focuses on Jordan's efforts to fool Jeffrey's
colleagues with one disturbing exception in which he knows
honesty is the key to permanency since he has fallen in
love with the rival to his brother's potential promotion.
Barbara Dunlop provides a lighthearted romp that shows you
can take the stud out of Alaska, but you can't take baked
Alaska out of the California bedroom. Harriet Klausner

SummaryWhen it's this close. . .
Jordan Adamson is in a jam. His idyllic life in Alaska has
never been the same since a chance encounter with a twin
brother he hadn't known he had. Jordan has to impersonate
Jeffrey in front of his closest colleagues, and in L.A., no
less! Good thing Jordan met Ashley Baines — she's offered
to steer him clear...right to bed!
Just get closer!
Ashley's got the biggest promotion of her life standing
right in front of her, yet all she can see is tall, hunky,
laid-back Jeffrey? He's saying all the right things and
making all the right moves, but she's never had the urge to
touch him before. Can this be the same uptight guy she once
knew, who's now back in town after the same hotshot job
she's up for?
With the lies closing in on Jordan, can Ashley get past the
truth once she knows it? Only one thing's for sure, it's
gonna be too close to call!
