"I want someone I can trust; someone who wants me for me, and no other."Right at the beginning of this book I had a "whoa, what!?" kind of moment due to a "little" detail related to Megan, the lead female character. I won't say what it is since it's not mentioned in the synopsis, but I'll try my best to go around it. That said, it is something that in my opinion made the concept behind this book to be a refreshingly different one.Running wedding errands in London with her best friend, one night, they decided to go to a club. There, Megan met Mark. They started talking and getting to know each other right away. That same night, Mark started texting her .... a bit too much in my opinion. I mean, they had just met and some of the things he'd say in those texts seemed... I don't know... stalkerish? I had mixed feelings regarding him at that point.As the story progresses, so does their "relationship." Megan kept making it clear that they were nothing more than "just friends." She had to keep him at bay because of that "little detail" I can't explain because it would be a spoiler. Let's just say, she had "something" to protect and not to mention, she had trust issues where men were concerned.This however, did not stop Mark from making it abundantly clear that he wasn't going anywhere. More into the book, I started to actually like Mark's romantic side.. yes, he was a bit intense right off the bat, but like I said, throughout the book, I found him to be very attentive to Megan's "special" needs --> (doesn't have anything to do with sex). In fact, they never have sex (just wanna throw that out there.. tee hee)"I can't imagine my life without you.""You're more important to me than anything.""Fate brought us together."As I started to like Mark more and more, I started to dislike Megan more and more.  I get some of the things she did, or rather, didn't do... but most of the time I kind of wanted to smack some sense into her.Regarding the ending... it was actually beautiful, and I remember literally saying "finally!!!" during a specific moment. There isn't a cliffhanger which was a plus since lately I had read like 3 books back to back with cliffhangers!Overall, I think this book has a lot of potential to be truly great. Maybe it just needs more character and plot development, or maybe it was just me. But, like I said at the beginning, the idea behind the story line was refreshingly different and a huge plus for me."...everything happens for a reason. You must believe in it and trust that it will work out."
