He expected her to recognize him.

He expected her to be seduced by his charms.

He expected her to fall for him.

Expectations are a funny thing …

When his parents named him Herbert Lincoln James, they already had expectations that Linc would attend an ivy league university and go into politics. Linc didn’t. As captain of his swim team, he was expected to win the big relay to carry his swim team to the state championship for the first time in decades. Linc didn’t. Society expected him to walk past her. He couldn’t.

She expected him to see through her.

She expected him to make her into a joke.

She expected him to be cruel.

Expectations are a funny thing …

My review: 4 stars

I enjoyed reading this contemporary love story about a young man falling for the woman so different from what his family or society expects him to be with. Being part of high society means he has to follow the rules, but Linc falls hard for Alexis. His eyes are opened seeing how society treats those that are not following “the rules”. My heart was breaking for Alexis, who is ‘big’ by society’s standards, seeing how she had a hard time trusting that Linc was really interested in her and not taking part of a cruel prank.

The author did a great job portraying the emotional rollercoaster they both are on being at the opposite ends of the society’s scale and both dealing with the rules forced on them.

One minus is that it ends in a cliffhanger with no warning leaving me with a sad feel thinking… nooo it cannot end like this!!!! I hope the next book is coming soon.
