This is a story about Olivia and Ryder, both grew up and have lived in Mason Creek for most of their lives. She runs a lingerie store and he runs a jewelry store in town. They grew up together and dated in high school, went to college together, came home and married and have been married for seven years.
Things come to ahead when Olivia is ready for kids and Ryder wants to leave town and travel instead and so at the start of the book they are separated. They are mediating custody of their pet bird and its holding off their divorce because they both love the bird.
These two really love each other but both have huge secrets they are keeping from each other. HUGE!
This is a story that asks the question "Is love enough?" It was a highly entertaining story with a cute bird and lots of wonderful characters from Mason Creek. I really loved Ryder and Liv. They are both awesome characters and Liv is this really wonderfully talented person who has been hiding who she is and I loved that to some degree she was still a mystery to Ryder. She is why I adored this book. She is strong, independent, has dreams and knows how to not let anything stop her from making her dreams reality. I really adored her.
Ryder was a tougher character to like. He is keeping a really big secret and I understood why it was a hard thing for him to share but also its something you should share with your wife. I also loved how much he loved his wife but I also felt at times he was immature and ran away from his problems. Not always but sometimes. I also got really annoyed at him about his reaction to Liv's secret and how he did not support her at a very important night for her. I really felt Liv should have made him suffer more for how he treated her when her secret is exposed.
But I did enjoy this story. Its light reading and a story that was well written and easily stands alone in the series. I also loved the ending and loved watching these two get their happily ever after.
