Ah, the sins of the young. When everything seems possible
and leading with your heart seems simple enough. But as
experience teaches, that is not a clear vision and certainly
not the best way to plan out your life. A MAVERICK TO
(RE)MARRY by Christine Rimmer is about choices made and
consequences. Derek and Amy came from very different social
circles but as teenagers all they saw was the massive mutual
attraction, to them of course this was love. But the world
at large didn't really see them as a couple with a future.
There was the element of parental interference that neither
Derek or Amy could conquer, nor so they parted ways. Derek
staying home on the family ranch. Amy off to college.
A MAVERICK TO (RE)MARRY is actually a very simple story of
two young people, separated for thirteen years, reunited at
the invitation of mutual friend's wedding. Derek took it
really hard watching the girl he loved so dearly follow her
career and education plan leaving him behind. There were
several townspeople who watched Derek fall apart and then
slowly find his new normal. But all his friends were aware
of how fragile that recovery was and how easily it could
possibly unravel.
Amy it seems had been very close to the vest about her
issues with that breakup. To Amy it was the incredulity that
Derek had been able to walk away so easily that hurt the
most. Wasn't their love strong and deep enough to fight
for. Well that is a rhetorical question. Of course it
wasn't. But Derek felt that Amy deserved to follow a path
that well just didn't match his. Amy was smart, strong and
bossy.
So now Amy and Derek are forced to face the disintegration
of a relationship that wasn't built on a very sturdy
foundation. Each of them had moved on. Derek was finding
success in his small home town. Amy's was in the city. But
that did not speak to their personal lives which clearly
hadn't moved anywhere. The problem was neither of them were
going to have enough time to see if the sparks were enough
to build a life on. They only had a few weeks and most of
the time Derek was working.
The foundation for love is tricky at best. In a fun and
lovely story like A MAVERICK TO (RE)MARRY we are not asked
to spend much time deciding on what is the best ending. Hard
not to hope for a happy ever one. Not all stories have to be
deep and gut wrenching. A MAVERICK TO (RE)MARRY by Christine
Rimmer is a lighthearted tale of facing the possibility of a
second chance and having the guts to open yourself up to the
issue of heart break if once again the ending isn't the
happily ever after you would like.
