5.0 out of 5 stars A romantic, heart twisting read -- Very highly recommended, August 1, 2001

This review is from: The Marriage Agreement (Conveniently Yours, Bravo Series (Silhouette Special Edition No. 1412) (Paperback)

His dying father's cruel words still hold the power to hurt, although the worst pain lies in the words left unsaid. Blake Bravo knew his only grandchild lived within a few miles, but never made any effort to know the child, or locate the father. Even now, as the old man breathes his last, he taunts his only child with the words of the pretty redhead's surprise.

Marsh spent ten years recreating his identity only to have his father reduce him to feeling like an angry eighteen-year-old again. Only his father's impending death can persuade him to return to Norman, Oklahoma and face the man who badly abused him as a child. Only the woman he's always loved, and had to leave behind, could convince him to stay.

Victoria Winingham always dreamed that Marsh would come back for her. Even now her first impulse to rush to his arms. But a secret lies between them: one that has waiting nine years for the telling. Now she must tell him that they share a daughter. One who will welcome him into her heart as a daddy; but the question remains if he's ready to be a daddy. Or if any of those old feelings for Tori can be resurrected.

Author Christine Rimmer once again presents herself as a master wordsmith will her carefully chosen descriptions, gently structured phrasing, and compelling expressions of the deepest possible emotions. At times poetic, other times strident and fierce, her words evoke emotional reactions in her readers, bringing tears of sadness and tears of joy in turn. Further, her expressive, imperfectly believable characters are equally remarkably realized. A romantic, heart twisting read, THE MARRIGE AGREEMENT comes very highly recommended.

This whole series is excellent. However, each book can stand unto itself. I like how Ms. Rimmer uses characters from other books in each book of this Bravo family series. Very good.

This book is excellent.

Marsh ran off 10 years ago as a young man. He left his abusive father and the town he grew up in behind with no regrets. The one regret he had was he left his girlfriend Tory. She was 16 at the time and he felt he was doing the best thing for her.

Ten years later his father is dying and asks Marsh to come back. Marsh returns only to find out he's the father of a young girl. Tory was pregnant and he hadn't known. As he works to clear up his father's 'estate', they slowly learn they still love each other. The agreement? If she is pregnant then she will marry him.

Excellent Book.

Enjoy

I did not like the hero. He did not want to marry the heroine. She said she loved him and he moved away. She wanted to go with him and he did not want to take her. Not at the beginning and not at the end. Almost all of the book the hero never said he loved her and not even to himself. All of the book it was heroine who took actions. Whatever feeling he have for her it was because of the baby and Kim most of the book. It was too bad the heroine did not cut him out of her life.
