Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 1998

RIGHT BRIDE

Lovely widowed mother Tess DeMarley had "perfect wife" written all over her—but rancher Zach Bravo had lost at love once before. So he proposed an arranged marriage. And he knew that it would stay just that—because Tess was a one-man woman, all right. Too bad Zach was the wrong man!

WRONG GROOM?

If you'd asked Tess DeMarley what man she'd always dreamed of having down on one knee proposing marriage to her, Zach Bravo might not have been her first choice. But now that he was her husband, she began looking at him in a new light—and wondering if her "in name only" spouse could possibly be turning into her dream man….

CONVENIENTLY YOURS:

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

This review is from: Practically Married (Conveniently Yours / Bravo Family) (Silhouette Special Edition, No. 1174) (Paperback)

Ms Rimmer did it again! I love her characters in this book. Tess DeMarley and Zach Bravo are such nice people. They do marry but they must learn to show their love. They each have a daughter from a previous marriage that are wonderful characters, too. They live on a cattle ranch in Wyoming where they are having some cattle rustling as a sub-plot which was very believable. This is the 3rd Bravo family book and I stayed up late to read it and it was worth being tired today!

This review is from: Practically Married (Kindle Edition)

This is the third (of 31, so far!) in Rimmer's Bravo line, one of my all time favorite series.

This was a much quieter book than is usual for a Category. Both hero and heroine are self contained personalities, so the readers know more about them than the other people in their lives do. The result was a slightly melancholy tone. Because I cared so much for Tess, Zach's slow-to-see made me more angry than sympathetic. And I think Tess judged herself awfully hard for her feelings.

But both leads are incredibly likeable people, and I really cared what happened to them. The pace is leisurely and the Western setting compelling. The relationships with the secondary characters are complex and interesting.

Highly recommended.
