   | I always a fan of these 2 authors. But in Hold You Close, I am disappointed. The story is promising. Something swoony romantic read. But... the characters kill all the feeling. Especially London. See she is a bitch. A selfish bitch who throws out all of her angry to the world and self pitying herself. 

She thinks she is the smartest, most caring person in the world. That even Ian can not live to her expectation. Ian is a dumb hero. I do not know what is his attraction towards London. For someone who has an ex wife who is similar to London,he is gluten for punishment. 

I know that the authors try to bring these ugly side of the character to heighten the frustration aspect, and dozing the story with so much romance galore. Well, it does not work.
