Review:

The reader meets the main characters at a critical time. Marilyn and Warrick's marriage is in danger and both are making important career decisions. Marilyn has her dream job in sight and does not intend to see it pass her by, but her choice may cause harmful implications on her husband's job as an NBA player. Warrick is considered a terrific player, a legend, but in the NBA players can rarely play past a certain age and Warrick must decide if he can choose both the championship game and keep his wife.

Marilyn is perfect, almost too perfect, and the reader soon learns that she does have a few secrets she'd rather not see the light of day. Her professional demeanor and charisma make her difficult not to like, however. Warrick can be stubborn, but he is also driven and motivated. The reader will be rooting for both of them. Can their marriage be saved?

 

This book is both a romance and an examination of the part played in a marriage. Marilyn and Warrick have reached the point where they must both iron out their destinations in life and decide whether or not they can compromise. Overall, the book is an enjoyable and quick read.
