Jesse Shaw is a famous soccer player in the US, and he's looking for a fun vacation with his best friend Hunter. They fly to London where he can get away from the spotlight and from the bad memories Jesse's former girlfriend left him. The last thing he expected to do was fall for a girl. And one of Hunter's cousins at that! Isabelle Mills is the sweet and quiet twin. The boys don't notice her until Jesse comes to stay at her house. Their relationship blossoms until everything comes to a sudden halt with a horrible prank gone wrong. Jesse's career hangs in the balance, and Isabelle doesn't know if he can ever forgive her.I'm blown away again by another one of Kyra Lennon's books. The story is sweet and full of the wonder of a new relationship. But it's the characters that hooked me. Jesse Shaw is unlike most of the arrogant Alpha males you see in romance. He's compassionate and genuine. Kyra does a terrific job of writing from his point of view making him honest and caring, but still one of the guys. Isabelle is the shy girl, feeling like she's in the shadow of her out-going twin. She's thoughtful and loyal, a young woman you can respect and wish your own daughter to model.It's an emotional roller coaster from beginning to end. Kyra paints vivid feelings that readers can relate to oh-so well. This book doesn't just tug at your heartstrings, but wraps around your heart like your favorite sweater and claims it.
