5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER EXCUSE TO STAY UP LATE ABSORBING A TERRIFIC BOOK !, February 21, 2000

This review is from: The Nine-Month Marriage (Conveniently Yours / Bravo Family) (Silhouette Special Edition, No 1148) (Paperback)

Abby has always adored Cash since she was a grubby kid. The night of her father's death, their relationship took a dramatic turn that left Cash beating himself up for getting her pregnant. He feels like a craddle-snatcher with the 15-years age gap between 'em. So he made an honest woman out of Abby & a mutual agreement that they'd reconsider their marriage after the baby's born. Abby may be a 21-year-old college gal, but she's one heck of a fighter when it comes to getting what she wants, and she's always wanted Cash. Their marital bliss starts going awry, as she's suspected all along, eversince - in the throes of labor pain - Abby confesses her love. Scared the pants out of him, Cash begins putting distance between him & Abby (emotionally & physically), even though he knows that he's hopelessly in love with his young wife. This book is romantic, heart-twisting at times, written wonderfully with smooth dialogues, believable characters, great chemistry & a very satisfying ending. The title & synopsis of this novel alone will grab your attention & keep your eyes stuck 'till the last word. I've read most of Ms Rimmer titles & she's never disappointed me so far !

5.0 out of 5 stars I was glued to the book from beginning to end!, October 11, 1998

This review is from: The Nine-Month Marriage (Conveniently Yours / Bravo Family) (Silhouette Special Edition, No 1148) (Paperback)

This book grabbed my attention on the first page and held it until the last. The attraction and tension between the man and woman in the story was spellbinding. Abby is a young woman in love with a much older family friend who will do anything but admit the love is mutual. But alas, he is unable to resist the temptation of his pregnant wife. This is the first of Ms. Rimmer's books that I have read and I look forward to reading the others.
