London Wright thought she’d been in love before, but she hadn’t—not even close.
Then, she met him.
Rugged and gorgeous, Loïc Berkeley, is everything she’s ever wanted. Getting him to notice her was a challenge, but keeping his love is proving to be more difficult.
London is used to getting what she wants, so loving someone like Loïc is a humbling and somewhat terrifying experience. For everything she has in her life, he’s the one thing she can’t bear to lose.
Loïc never wanted love. He views it as an unneeded distraction that always ends in disappointment, causing nothing but pain.
Then, he met her.
Spoiled but witty and breathtakingly beautiful, London Wright is his undoing. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he knew his life would never be the same. Though he tries to fight it, he finds himself falling for her.
Loïc has lived a life full of sorrow, but finding London brings him rare happiness. Though his feelings for her are strong, is what they have powerful enough to break the cycle of his past?
When one is destined for heartbreak and loss, can love really change anything?
Review by Wendy - 4 stars
Loic Berkeley & London Wright if ever there were two opposites that attract.
Their backgrounds could not be further ends of the spectrum, their experiences and lifestyles, worlds apart and yet here they are so attracted to each other they are literally scaring each other away.
A beautiful love story about two people trying to set each other on a path to true love without really knowing what they are doing, having never done it before or wanted to.
Loic has the most baggage when it comes to trusting and loving and its clear to see why as we get to know him and his background.
“No one is coming. No one is going to save me. Love is a joke, and London’s a lie.”
London, a little bit spoilt but not a brat with it, she knows she’s been lucky in life so I didn’t feel she behaved like a spoilt brat just a bit sheltered in life I guess, but I liked her honesty and she was fun. She simply cannot believe it when she offers it on a plate to the handsome special forces soldier and he ignores her advances. And so it begins, almost obsessively she thinks of him, but what she doesn’t know is he is not as unaffected by her as he seems.
“I’m lost in visions of hot, sweaty sex, a beautiful wedding, and making babies. Yes, loads of babies. Its official I’m going to marry this man”
Loic has never been affected by a girl before, he has kept his guard up to preserve his already damaged heart and soul, but fighting it is useless and the spoilt, witty beautiful your woman is giving him a run for his money.
I’m looking forward to more of their story in book 2, their journey isn’t over, in fact I believe it has only just begun.
“Listen, Loïc,” she starts to say, her voice sweet and kind.
“Just save it, London,” I snap before I can stop myself. My walls and ability to be an eternal asshole are back in full effect.
Her eyes widen, but she quickly composes herself. She stands on her tiptoes and gives me a small kiss on the cheek. My body stiffens at the contact. She turns to leave, and her hand grabs the knob of the door.
But then, almost on instinct, she looks back at me. “I was just going to say that I really want to be fucked up together. And whatever reason you have for thinking you don’t deserve someone to love you is wrong. I see you, Loïc, more than you think I do. You’re a good person, and you deserve way more in this life than you’re allowing yourself to have. I don’t know why you’re punishing yourself, but you should stop. Maybe I’m not the person you need, but you need to find the one who is. Everyone needs love, even a big, bad warrior. Not everything in life should be a battle.”
