Married By Accident (Conveniently Yours) (Silhouette Special Edition) [Paperback]

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Special Edition | Publication Date: May 1, 1999

FIRST COMES MELINDA WITH A BABY CARRIAGE….

Pure chance brought big-city girl Melinda Bravo and rugged rancher Cole Yuma together in time to deliver his sister's newborn. But it was pure desire—baby and otherwise—that convinced her there would be no harm in pretending the baby was hers and Cole's…just for a little while.

THEN COMES MARRIAGE….

And it only made sense that she and Cole also assume the roles of husband and wife—strictly for show, of course.

THEN COMES LOVE!

Melinda and Cole both knew that despite their mutual attraction, they had nothing in common! So why, suddenly, was each of them fantasizing about making their pretend marriage the real thing?

CONVENIENTLY YOURS: The Bravo family's marriages may have begun in name only—but were they destined to be true love matches after all?

5.0 out of 5 stars Married by Accident, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Married By Accident (Conveniently Yours) (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)

This 4th Bravo Series book is very entertaining. Ms. Rimmer's books are all romance but they are fun, too. Melinda Bravo meets Cole Yuma and his sister Annie by accident. Her BMW nad his pickup are in an accident on a busy LA street. The fun begins then. Annie and Melinda have a soulmate's friendship. Cole and Melinda are pushed together by Annie who has her own romance problems. I enjoyed this book for all the reasons I mentioned before but Ms Rimmer's books make you feel good and her characters are very believable. Keep them coming!

I have enjoyed Miss Rimmer's books about the Bravo family. I enjoy being able to catch up on other family members I have read about in previous books.

Melinda Bravo is trying to be the independant daughter of a mother and father who just want to see her married (or living with) someone of interest (such as an artist, a poet etc.) While trying to make a living selling lingerie she literally runs into Cole Yuma. Annie Cole's sister, who has her own problems, works hard to push them together. There is a happy ending for everyone and it's a lovely story.

Well worth the read.
Enjoy.

This is #4 in Rimmer's Bravo series. However, that doesn't mean anything yet: the back story that ties all the Bravo books together doesn't start until the end of #7.

This is a very different Category Romance, in tone and rhythm. First, it is character driven and takes a leisurely road. It doesn't come across as the usual slam-bam. Also, there are THREE lead characters: the heroine, the hero and the hero's sister. Sister Annie gets as much page time as the couple does. (I had to keep reminding myself that she was only 18.) I really liked these people, and I cared what happened to them. And the author avoids all manner of plot and character cliches.

Highly recommended.
