 It was fine, and I was enjoying this book, about halfway through it. Then, it all went down.

I'm giving this a 3 star, but a very doubtful one. I'm giving the series a chance because the next books might be better.

I liked Lonan... at first. But he is the main reason I started rolling my eyes every time I went back to reading. She doesn't accept his proposal because she doesn't want him to do it just so she can get a visa, she wants him to do it because he's in love with her. Only that. But his ego is hurt and he acts like an assh*le. Brings an ex-fling to a charity event just to get a rise out of her. Then, proceeds to get annoyed when the girl gets touchy with him. Hm, 1. that was to be expected; 2. his behaviour toward women is disgusting. Plus, her best friend knowing what he was going to do and not let her know... I would rather not have a friend at all.

Did NOT enjoy it by the end.
