4.5 StarsI love it when I can pick up a sequel – a few months after I finished the first book – and I can fall straight back into the world like I read the first book yesterday. I liked the plot and the characters so much that they were still fresh in my mind. Chanel Cleeton also has an easy writing style that I like, so it was exciting to go back to London and see Samir and Maggie face new challenges.London Falling is slightly different from the first book as we follow both Maggie and Samir's perspectives. Maggie is struggling with her feelings about Samir and how he has an arranged marriage planned. Her friends are great support and try and take her mind off things by going on trips and taking her out, but her feelings are quite intense. Maggie also has some parental issues and finds it hard to share her feelings with the people she loves.Samir is not sure whether he wants to follow through with the arranged marriage, and is contemplating if he can pursue his relationship with Maggie. She challenges him at every turn and sees right to his soul. His family life is quite complicated as he is expected to step up in his father’s footsteps and return to Lebanon. Samir is such a sweet person behind the spoilt boy that he portrays himself to be. Some of the things he does were sweet and I just love the passion he has.When they do get together, you can see how much they have in common and how they complement each other. Samir's family and politics are always a big problem between them. Toward the end of the book I wanted to shake them both, but in the end I was happy how things were between them. I can see a hint of another book on the horizon… Fleur! I am going to enjoy that one!Complimentary copy provided by the Publisher, via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
