Skye Starling is beautiful, rich, and suffering from OCD, a disease that gives her compulsions she is unable to control. She would love to be married and have a family, but so far her OCD has kept her from a satisfactory love relationship leading to marriage. Then she meets Burke. He’s older and seems able to handle her disability. She’s thrilled when he proposes and quickly immerses herself in wedding plans.
Burke, however, is not what he seems. We learn through an electronic diary he keeps for his therapist that he’s actually happily harried with three children. The problem is that he’s made a lot of past mistakes and when he’s let go from his job in the financial sector, he’s afraid he can’t support his family until he hits on a plan that involves Skye.
The third character in the drama is Heather. We learn about her as a teen dreaming to better her life and get rid of her bad boy boyfriend, Burke. That doesn’t exactly work out and she ends up married to him.
Told from three points of view the novel gives us an in depth look at all three characters. At first the differing time lines and the fact that Burke tells his story through diary entries was a bit confusing, but I got to like it because it made each character come to life.
The first half of the book moved quickly, but after the relationship between the characters was reveled it seemed to slow down. However, I liked the characters and wanted to keep reading to see how their story ended.
I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.
