What’s not to like about Colin and Abby? Colin Murphy and Abigail Thompson are newly engaged, living in Los Angeles and Abby’s got a new job as Colin’s public relations rep. She should be happy, shouldn’t she? Colin’s ecstatic and can’t wait to get married. But there’s something off about Abby. She doesn’t feel comfortable living with Colin in his penthouse, so she gets her own apartment. Is it her freedom she’s missing? Does she feel rushed? She doesn’t really know because she hasn’t taken much time to think about it. Heck, they’ve only known each other for about one minute! She obsesses too much about it and, when she calls her mother for support, her mom does what every good mom should do and tells her to “grow up!” The first person to tell her that marriage is work, non-stop work, and she’d better learn to communicate with Colin. She tries but there’s trouble right around the corner. Her ex is back to make her life hell by lawyering up to sue her for all she’s worth. She’s not worth much now, but as soon as she marries Colin, she’ll have access to millions. Colin makes a supremely unwise decision when he finds out what her ex is up to by not telling her what’s happening. He pays him off with no mention to Abby that he’s even in town. To say that it drives a wedge between them is an understatement. Abby doesn’t know if she wants to be with him anymore. How did their sweet love get to this point? When Colin comes up with a plan to allow them to get to know each other from the very beginning, she finally grabs the chance and off on a cruise they go. Just when everything was going so beautifully and their love was palpable again, the difference between them and their lives comes flashing right in front of them…the paparazzi found them and are indiscriminately snapping pictures and shouting in their faces. Abby has never felt so unequal before and worries that the difference in their social classes won’t be overcome. I really wanted to grab her by the shoulders, shake ever so slightly, and repeat her mother’s words, GROW UP! At their dinner table on the ship, Abby and Colin had the pleasure and good fortune of meeting an elderly couple whose love has spanned decades. They were guardian angels who taught Colin and Abby the most important lesson of loving each other. Never give up, always keep working to make your marriage even better and, no matter what, be the support your spouse needs. Their wedding and reception were both beautiful occasions and getting to know Colin’s mother was a joy. The ending was perfect for this couple, whose journey was anything but smooth, as they finally found their HEA. Brian Martin and Melina Schein do a marvelous job with the narration. Their voices are well-modulated and laced with emotion and character. The story comes alive as they speak.
