Married in Haste

Bravo Family #18

by Christine Rimmer

Well, the wedding of Angie Dellazola and Brett Bravo may have seemed hasty. But in fact they'd known each other all their lives—and, as each of them was the self-appointed sole sane member of their respective families, what better way to ensure that they stay that way than to get married? Their marriage would be based on respect and common interests—none of that burning, all-consuming love that their family members seemed prone to….

And then, one week into their marriage, it hit both of them like a ton of bricks. Angie and Brett were wildly, madly, passionately in love—with each other! This was not the calm, collected marriage they'd counted on.

Well, the best-laid plans…

Reviews

[Saly · Rating 3 out of 5]

An average book. When the book opens the heroine's baby sister is having a baby and the hero who is the doctor is there, then his drunk brother, who is the father arrives and is kicked out, since her sister loves him but knows she can't count on him until he straightens his life(his book is out this Feb).

So, the hero and heroine are now working together(she's a nurse) and they both have come back to town after a long absence. The heroine came back after she stupidly fell into a passionate affair with a dangerous man, who ended up hitting her and taking her money, so now no romance for her, even the hero who had a similar experience agrees and they both somehow decide to get hitched.

They can't keep their hands off each other and then the hero realizes he's in love with her and starts backing off and she can't figure out why and he doesn't say a thing. She falls for him as well, he acts stupid until he figures things out, predictable.

An interesting premise that the author didn't quite pull off.

Best friends from wacky families decide to get married and be normal. They discover that they'are wildly in love after all. Guy panics, girl angsts, unlikely commotion happens, they live HEA. I was hoping for a mature type of love, instead I got a "wild, crazy love is the only way to go!" cheer. Oh, well...
