I'm laughing a little because Garrett needs to be real. I liked this book despite some issues with it. Never judge a book by its cover and that is what I did. I usually don't but this time around I wasn't expecting it to be good. It's about twin sisters Katherine and Robin and they are sponsored for a season in London because they are basically poor. They are twins but they are opposites. Katherine will do anything for her family and she puts her family first before herself.The relationship of Katherine and Garrett could have been more detailed and developed. Them spending more time together and talking but it was good nonetheless. No murder, no scorned family member, no big misunderstanding, no secrets. I don't want to give too much away, but basically Katherine meets Garrett one night and kisses him by accident. She meets Kent who would be a logical choice for her to marry because of her family but she is drawn to Garrett.Anyway this is one of the reasons why I liked this book."This might be your only chance to be near my bed," Katherine warned"I have more faith in us than to believe that this is my only chance. We belong together," he said.He basically rejects the chances to become more intimate with her again and again because he wants more from her. When I say he fights for her I mean she tells him to go away. She pursues her relationship with Kent or at least tries to, but Garrett is patient with her. I guess you can say he is very confident that he will get her.My downside to this book was the bit about their sexual relationship at the end. Not that they had sex throughout the entire book which I thought was awesome but its just a personal preference that I don't want too much info. Katherine  Also my BIGGEST problem was neither Katherine or Garrett said "I love you" to each other. They said it in their head and to others but not to each other. I hate when that happens. Who doesn't tell the person they decide to be with and love that they love them? Also it does feel somewhat like the author could have spent more time developing the plot as well as the characters. Why do the characters never act as they should!! She says they are one way then writes them doing something out of character later on.Oh and the sister....I really thought she was obnoxious and in some ways callous. When I saw she was getting her own story before Winnie I was so upset because I couldn't stand her. Well let's just say with the ending I want to read her book. I can't believe I have to wait so long for Winnie's story to come out!
