Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2000

THINGS TO DO BEFORE THE WEDDING...

1. Pick up dress
2. Do nails
3. Divorce first husband

Seems like bride-to-be Jenna Bravo had left one teensy thing undone before she accepted her nice-but-boring fiancé's proposal--divorce her first husband, Mack McGarrity. And when her former workaholic, currently gorgeous, superwealthy not-quite-ex showed up at her home one day, it turned out he had a new proposal....

...One that Jenna couldn't refuse: to spend two weeks alone with him. If, after that, she still wanted the divorce, she could have it. On the other hand, when it came to rekindling old flames, two weeks could be a very long time....

4.0 out of 5 stars A story about self-discovery, July 28, 2000

Jenna Bravo wants to get married. The problem is, she already has a husband. In order to marry her high-school sweetheart, her husband, Mack McGarrity, must send her the divorce papers which were never finalized. Mack, however, has something different in mind. In exchange for the notarized papers, Jenna must spend two weeks alone with him so that he can understand what went wrong during their marriage.

This is a story of self-discovery on the parts of both Jenna and Mack. By marrying Mack, Jenna gave up her chance to use her degree in business administration. Mack, in turn, destroyed his marriage due to his unswerving ambition to amass a fortune and the security he feels it will bring them both. By the time he attained it, Jenna wanted nothing to do with him.

Rimmer does an excellent job of weaving pieces of Mack and Jenna's past with the present in order to illustrate how far each has come on their own. Jenna is the owner of a home fashions specialty shop and Mack has learned to unwind with his fortune. He has come to realizes that without Jenna it doesn't mean much to him at all.

The extent of Mack's self-discovery goes far deeper than Jenna's. As he struggles to come to terms with his mother's desertion and his unwillingness to start a family, the reader can't help but sympathize with his insecurities because he truly makes an effort to overcome them.

Rimmer hints at a story between Jenna's sister and ex-fiance. Based on Mack and Jenna's story, I can't wait to read theirs.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Millionaire She Married, April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Millionaire She Married (Conveniently Yours / Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)

This was another of Ms Rimmer's fun books. I've enjoyed the Bravo family and loking forward to more. Jenna & Mack have matured alot since their marriage 9 years ago. They have been divored the last 5 Jenna thinks but Mack McGarrity never signed the papers and had it finalized. Jenna needs the final now so she can remarry. Mack is ready to try again and does talk Jenna into it. It wasn't too hard! They both learn how much love they have to share with each other through a series of family problems. They do have a cat that they fought over during the divorce and it does have a big part in the story! I'm looking forward to more "Conveniently Yours" with the Bravos. I

4.0 out of 5 stars Second Chance For Romance, May 30, 2000

I read this story straight through. I couldn't put it down. I liked the second chance at marriage and love plot. Jenna wants to remarry and finds out she is still married to the very handsome Mack. Of course, he won't sign the divorce papers without fighting for a chance to prove he's changed. It's a great love story.
