I really tried to give this book a chance, but it was very difficult to follow. I got this book from a bundle, but I felt I had to review it separately. The story is about Natalie or Tallie. She is an aspiring writer and moves to London to finish her book. Because she has no job or income, she agrees to house sit for someone. Turns out the real owner of the apartment didn't know this. Anyways, they sort it out and the owner Mark, a millionaire, let's her stay there given that he is hardly home and she seems to be taking good care of the place. That sounds easy enough right? Where it gets confusing is where the actual romance novel that Tallie is writting becomes part of the story. So I had a difficult time figuring if this was really happening to her, her thoughts, or those of the fictional love story she was writing. The author switched back and forth between narrating the "story" and her own story. It was just too confusing for me as this format continued throughout the majority of the book.

In any event, Tallie decides she is tired of being rejected for being naive and proposes Mark to make her a woman. He complies and they have an amazing night. Then they return to normal as if nothing happens. Then Mark exits the picture for travel and next thing you knew the book was ending. At the end there was a happily ever after, but I couldn't feel the connection between the two characters to believe the ending.

When I read the summary of this book I imagined that this would be a book to read without stop. I was expecting something more hot, breathtaking, the kind of story that makes you dreaming for days but this turned to be a real disappointment. So, if you are looking for a story that will reach your heart, I do not recommend this one.
