Maggie Carpenter is ready for a change— and to leave her ordinary life in South Carolina behind. But when she accepts a scholarship to the International School in London, a university attended by the privileged offspring of diplomats and world leaders, Maggie might get more than she bargained for.
When Maggie meets Hugh, a twentysomething British guy, she finds herself living the life she always wanted. Suddenly she’s riding around the city in a Ferrari, wearing borrowed designer clothes and going to the hottest clubs. The only problem? Another guy, the one she can’t seem to keep her hands off of.
Half French, half Lebanese, and ridiculously wealthy, Samir Khouri has made it clear he doesn’t do relationships. He’s the opposite of everything Maggie thought she wanted…and he’s everything she can’t resist. Torn between her dream guy and the boy haunting her dreams, Maggie has to fight for her own happy ending. In a city like London, you never know where you stand, and everything can change in the blink of an eye.
This is a New Adult romance recommended for readers 17 and up.
My Review:
My rating: 4 of 5 starsI See London by Chanel Cleeton is a light-hearted, new adult, contemporary romance with a happily ever after ending and a slight love-triangle situation going on.
The main character, Maggie Carpenter, has found her dream guy in Hugh. He's around eight years her senior, but he's everything she's always wanted. Then there's Samir...The complete opposite of everything she's always wanted and he won't get out of her head. There's something about Samir that is calling all he "perfect guy" requirements into question.
There were a couple of times I wanted to slap Maggie upside the head and say "Really? What are you thinking?" but I always see it as a plus for the writing quality if I try to interact with imaginary characters.
