Claire has had a crush on her twin sister’s best friend since forever. So when she sees her chance to spent a whole night with Finn, she grabs it. Only ... it’s not Finn who is picking her up that night. Nope, this tall, muscular, tattooed, handsome man is certainly the total opposite of his little half brother Finn.
Bauer only needs a minute to realise the gorgeous princess in the lobby is not in fact his brother‘s best friend, but her twin sister. And where Lia usually meets him with open hostility, Claire’s quiet nature intrigues him. He is curious to find out more about Claire, and why she took her sister’s place.
What’s better for that than being stuck together for the weekend?
I‘m not gonna lie, I was excited about the original storyline with Claire and Finn. Girl and her identical twin‘s best friend? Sign me up.
When Karla scrapped the story and started over, I was equally excited though. Because so far, Karla has never ever disappointed me with her ability to write amazing characters as well as couples, and I trusted her gut on this.
And boy, did she do good. Finn who? I didn’t once think about that possibility once I started reading. Bauer is ... total boyfriend material.
He is sweet, attentive and a total softie at heart when it comes to the woman that stole his heart. He has a great intuition about what Claire feels and needs, and wants to make sure this thing with him is really what she wants. Claire has just a way about her to push down his wall and get Bauer to open up to her.
Add all the hot glances, innuendo, dirty talk and a girl can’t help but swoon.
Claire was a character we didn’t know that much about before. She’s quiet, calm, the voice of reason in the background. But here, talking about what she loves, her aspirations and accepting to just be herself and go after what she wants with Bauer, she really blossoms and shows us all her amazing strength that her family already saw, but bystanders (I‘m looking at you, Finn!) didn’t notice at first glance.
Both Claire and Bauer are great characters on their own, but together, they are just incredible.
Sometimes in writing, you just have to scrap everything you got and start over new to get to the Happily Ever After.
