Good love story and happy for the HEA!

I just love Christine Rimmer's books. Have you ever been in love with someone and never thought you could love again, well this would be our Sheriff Yancy. He loved with all his heart and lost this love and made a promise to himself that he would never love again ever to honor his true love but he never thought he would meet a woman like Jody Bravo and his new born niece Marybeth. Follow the love that develops through out the story, See what trouble blows in and can they over come it.

This one is just about okay. A bit draggy writing.But liked the way Jody worked and fought to get Seth completely.Both Jody & Seth - mature behaviourThe writing style let the story down a bit.

"The Lawman's Convenient Bride (The Bravos of Justice Creek)" by Christine Rimmer is a perfect second time round romance. Both Jody and Sheriff Seth Yancy have loved, and lost. She's pregnant with Seth's brothers baby, but Nick the baby Daddy has died. What turns out to be a good friendship between Jody and Seth turns into love for Jody, but unfortunately Seth is unable to say it back.

Once again Christine Rimmer visits Justice Creek Bravos. A thoroughly enjoyable read full of humor and insights. The characters grab your attention and keep you engaged until the last page.

Jody is a strong independent woman, who thought she had life under control. Then comes Seth, the Lawman. They blended well. A few minor set backs, but in the end made it all work. I love the Bravo's. Such realistic characters.

I was so excited to read another Bravo book but was somewhat disappointed as I got into the story, especially with the high rating it was given.Jody Bravo was pregnant, even though they used protection, by a one-night-stand who became a friend. She refused his marriage proposal and they agreed to share child rearing duties. When the baby's father passed away his stepbrother, Seth Yancy, couldn't believe no one had told him Nick was going to be a father and he had to hear it from a waitress in a local diner. Why had his step-brother not told him? And he was furious with the mother-to-be, wanting to blame her for him not being in the loop. While he was feeling this way our heroine was bothered that Seth Yancy had not checked on her during her pregnancy. Little did she know Nick had not told him.Our hero, Seth, was pushy but he wanted to be involved in his niece's life which meant he would also be involved in Jody's. He was there when she needed him and he was staying with her when she and the baby came home from the hospital. He was a tremendous help and took such good care of both her and the baby.Background on Seth: He fell madly in love and was engaged to a gal named Irene when he lived in Chicago seven years prior, however, she was murdered. He made a vow to himself to honor her memory by never dating, being in a relationship or loving another woman. This is where I had a real problem. His thinking was a bit skewed and made no sense to anyone but him. He was too macho to talk to anyone about it or seek advice...until late in the book. He was somewhere out in left field as far as I am concerned. He had even been celibate for the seven years since Irene died because of his vow...still honoring her by not being intimate with anyone else. Is this any way to live and do you really call this living? By the time he finally talked to someone and rectified the situation I was past really caring.It was a fair read for me.
