Willow and Mikell meet when they're both trying to get away. The way they get consumed by one another is surreal, and almost dream like. And so is Willow finding out that in a fit of drunkenness, she suggested they get married and he agreed... and they do, lol.
Okay, so I love the way MG was written. If AP doesn't do anything else, she's a master at writing a MMC who TELLS you how it's going to be. They don't ask, lol. But it's still romantic and patient. It's not bully romance. It's gentle still. And MG is that. He knew his heart and he knew that Willow was just afraid to listen to hers. His commitment to making everything right that went wrong with her was amazing. Willow was a track star in training, but she knew where she was loved, and where she was happy. So she was smart too. She's so accomplished and a talented. I loved their love story. I'm a huge fan of acting on your first mind and they did. The human tendency to doubt it is real and I love the way that was written too.
Secondary cast was solid, and Willow's ex was a lame but at least his parents tried to rein him in. MG's mom and sister were sweet. Her parents sucked as well and MG was right there to shield her when they didn't step up. A man. A HUSBAND.
