Bravo Family Ties Miniseries #22
Hometown Reunion
Once in love with a Bravo…
Only a lucrative contract could get Hunter Bartley back to Medicine Creek, Wyoming, after all these years. That and seeing Jobeth Bravo again. The TV star hadn’t expected to find Jobeth with a baby, single and as beautiful as when he’d broken her heart. But though old feelings were igniting new emotions, Hunter couldn’t forget what had driven them apart. Jobeth was a hometown girl. He was a wanderer. Maybe it would take his long-avoided return for Hunter to realize that everything he'd ever wanted was right here at home…

I really should know better than to start a Christine Rimmer book at night. I could not put this one down until I finished it around 4 a.m.; it was that good! This book is about Jobeth Bravo, who first made her appearance as a little girl in
Practically Married
(May 1998 - Silhouette). Now she is all grown up and ready for her own HEA.
Sixteen years earlier, Jobeth and Hunter were high school sweethearts. But Hunter couldn't wait to leave Medicine Creek and escape the memories of his home life, leaving town right after graduation. He wanted Jobeth to go with him, but she refused to leave her home and family behind. Hunter is now the successful host of a home improvement show and has brought that show to his hometown for a summer of filming.
Jobeth doesn't know how she feels about Hunter's return. Though she was heartbroken when he left, surely, she is over him by now? They've both been married and divorced, and she's recently adopted a little girl. So, when her dad asks if it would bother her if Hunter stayed at the ranch house, she swears it would be fine. Only it wasn't. Even after all these years, she couldn't forget the pain of her heartbreak, so she tried to avoid him - not easy with him living in her parents' house.
Hunter was wary of his return to Medicine Creek. His memories of his life there are wrapped up in his mother's death, his father's drinking, and his perception of how the town looked at him. The best memories are those he made with Jobeth, except for his regret over how they parted. He looks forward to seeing her again. He knows rekindling their relationship isn't possible - their lives are still too far apart. But he'd like to feel as though they could be friends again.
I enjoyed watching the development of Hunter and Jobeth's relationship. Jobeth spent the first week or so doing everything she could to avoid seeing him. Hunter didn't let that go on for long, eventually showing up on her doorstep. I liked that they cleared the air over their past, each admitting to some regrets. Underneath the tentative renewal of their friendship was an attraction that was even stronger than it had been when they were young. Though they tried to ignore it, eventually, it became too much. They believe they can indulge themselves for Hunter's remaining time there without risking their hearts because they know nothing can come of it. Of course, we all know how that is going to go.
There are some wonderful scenes in Wyoming. I loved seeing Hunter with little Paisley and his encounters with people who "knew him when." I loved seeing how distance and maturity changed his perception of those people. Hunter also talks Jobeth into visiting LA with him and introduces her to his life there. I loved seeing Hunter embrace his growing feelings and sensed a determination in him to find a way to make it work. But Jobeth panics over her feelings for Hunter and pushes him away. I ached for both as they faced the prospect of history repeating itself. Their struggle is heartbreaking, and I was rooting for them to find a way to overcome their obstacles.
The ending was terrific, though a piece of Jobeth's past created some unexpected drama. Seeing her and Hunter realize that anything is possible if they put love first was great.
I liked seeing more of Starr Bravo Tisdale (Fifty Ways to Say I'm Pregnant) and how her life has progressed since her story. I look forward to more stories of the next generation of Bravos. I got quite a chuckle from Jobeth explaining her extensive family connections to one of Hunter's friends.

A Can’t Put Down, Heart-gripping Story!
I was so excited to get this book! Little JoBeth Bravo, who first made her appearance as a little girl in Practically Married is finally getting her own book and HEA.
JoBeth and Hunter were high school sweethearts 16 years ago and they thought they would be together forever, until Hunter left Medicine Creek, Wyoming. JoBeth wanted to stay working on the family horse ranch, but Hunter wanted to leave town. Eventually, they both married and divorced and JoBeth adopted a little girl. Hunter has gone on to star in a successful home improvement show and JoBeth is doing what she loves most: working the ranch with her dad and raising her adopted daughter. Hunter’s show brings him home to Medicine Creek when the network decides to do a “Hunter Comes Home” series to do renovations and he needs a place to stay. When JoBeth’s dad invites Hunter to stay at the ranch, this creates long-buried emotions to come to the surface and JoBeth and Hunter both start asking themselves if they really are over and done.
They both try to stick to the old friends routine, hanging out and spending time together and talking through past hurts. Will the time spent together be enough for these two hearts to mend, or will they go back to their lives content with friendship and repairing their relationship of old?
Once again, Ms. Rimmer has created a beautiful story that was hard to put down and I was sad to see it end. You need to read this one for yourself, now, without delay!

I was so excited to get this book! Little JoBeth Bravo getting her own book and HEA. I remember her 20+ years ago in another Christine Rimmer book...now she's all grown up!
When Hunter Bartley and JoBeth Bravo were in high school, they thought they'd be together forever. Hunter left, and his leaving tore a hole in JoBeth's heart. Hunter and JoBeth went on to try to live their lives, but their marriages to other people just didn't work out. Hunter is now a home improvement television star and JoBeth is doing what she loves, working the ranch with her dad and her adopted baby daughter.
The network decides to do a 'Hunter comes home' series that has him returning to his hometown to do some renovations. JoBeth doesn't know how to take this. Is she over him? Is he over her? Can they be in the same town and just be old friends? Will the time between when Hunter comes to town and when he leaves be enough for these two broken hearts to mend, or will they go back to their real lives just happy they had this time together.
Ms. Rimmer takes this premise and runs with it. There is angst between JoBeth and Hunter as they run into each other. JoBeth's first husband was Hunter's enemy...how did that happen?? Sweet baby Paisley is just too cute. So many angles that Ms. Rimmer weaves skillfully into another lovely book. It looks like there will be more of this 'second generation' of Bravo's! I can't wait!

Yet another wonderful book by this author that I couldn't put down. I love this storyline for you can loose yourself for hours in this book and don’t start it late in the evening or at night. The book features Jobeth Bravo, who 1st appeared in Practically Married, who is now all grown up.
16 Years earlier she and Hunter were high school sweethearts. Hunter felt like nothing was tying him down and decided to leave Medicine Creek after graduation. Now being the host of a home improvement show, Hunter is now successful and has come home for the Summer to film for the Season. Or course a lot can happen in the 16 years apart from dating. Can they pick up where they left off or is it too late for them?
I truly recommend this book and looking forward to the next of the Bravo Family Ties for the characters are wonderfully drawn up and the author Christine Rimmer will keep you entertained for hours as time flies cause her books you can’t put down until you get to the back page for, they are fast paced and love, love her style of writing.

They clear the air between each other about the past but Jobeth puts her walls up at one point when things become a bit too close.

I enjoyed this book and it was nice to be back with the Bravo family again.
We meet Jobeth, who in her teenage years loved Hunter Bradley but not enough to move away with his when he left Medicine Creek. Now Hunter is back and staying in the main house of Rising Sun Ranch, with her parents, as he films for his TV series. Jobeth is supposedly happy with this arrangement but is doing all she can to avoid Hunter but she can't hide forever.
When they do meet up they find that they can talk and be friendly but can they recapture what they had as teenagers and at what cost?
There was some angst for both Hunter and Jobeth, also Hunter has to learn to see himself as others see him and not as he thought they saw him as a child and teenager.
I really liked the interplay between Jobeth and Hunter. The deep love that Jobeth's family had for her and her adopted daughter Paisley was well written and shone through. Paisley was such a cute character.
The plot was well written and made for a good read.

We first met Jobeth Bravo in the 1990s when the first Bravo book, "The Nine-Month Marriage," came out. We've seen her in other Bravo books over the years. Now we get to read her story.
Hometown....he wouldn't come back and she wouldn't leave.
Hunter left after high school and didn't come back to Medicine Creek. He made it big in California as a home improvement star. Jobeth stayed home on the family ranch. Both married others and are now divorced.
Reunion...Hunter is back in town to tape a few episodes of his show. He is staying at the main ranch house with Jobeth's parents, hoping to regain the closeness he and Jobeth once shared. Jobeth has her own house at the ranch and really wants to avoid Hunter.
Buy your own copy of this lively, entertaining book by Christine Rimmer and settle back in your favorite chair to read how Hunter Bartley and Jobeth Bravo manage this Reunion.

Jobeth Bravo and Hunter Bartley have a long history together. They were high school sweethearts but Hunter only had one thing on his mind after graduation and that was getting as far away as he could from Medicine Creek. Jobeth wouldn't go with him. Fast forward, Hunter is back in town to film his home improvement show and there is no way Jobeth can avoid him since he is staying at her family ranch. They say time heals all wounds, well that may be true but the heart wants what the heart wants to. These two have to get past the past in order to get to the present and the future. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did. Throw in a cantankerous cat and an adorable baby and anything can happen!

Hometown Reunion by Christine Rimmer is a part of her Bravo Family Ties series. I was so excited that Ms. Rimmer is writing again in this series. JoBeth Bravo lost her high school sweetheart when he moved away. Sixteen years later Hunter returns to town to film his successful television series. Will they pick up where they left off? Will she put her life aside for the man she’s always loved?
Hometown Reunion was a fabulous read. I so enjoyed returning to the Bravo family and I hope Ms. Rimmer finds a way to keep this series going. I highly recommend this book and any of her Bravo family books. I received an advance copy which I chose to read and review. This is my honest opinion.

So enjoyed returning to this part of the Bravo family. The unexpected reunion of former sweethearts Jobeth Bravo and Hunter Bartley brings a swirl of memories, both pleasant and bittersweet. So much has changed since Hunter left and now he’s going to be around for months and living in the main ranch house on Jobeth’s parents’ ranch while working on improvement projects around town and one on the ranch. Hunter being around bothers Jobeth more than she thought. Even though she realizes she still loves him, she doesn’t want to leave her hometown anymore than she did when he broke her heart by leaving years before. No spoilers so read to find out how these two strong people work out their relationship. I love how Christine always writes strong heroines!

The newest Bravo book by Christine Rimmer, Hometown Reunion, doesn��t disappoint!! Jobeth Bravo’s first love, Hunter Bartely, has come home. Thrown together by proximity, he’s staying at her family’s ranch, their chemistry hasn’t dimmed from high school. Hunter knows there’s a timeline but new mom, Jobeth, of an adopted baby girl, is some he’s never forgotten even if they were both married. Christine brings the same powerful family values and hot chemistry she’s always delivered in the Bravo series. I’m LOVING this new series.

I love this book. It's the latest in the Christine Rimmer's Bravo Series. It features the story of Jobeth Bravo (we met Jobeth early in the series as a child and she's been mentioned several times throughout the series), and Hunter Bartley. The two were in love before Hunter left town and now that he is back, they have a rekindling of their former feelings. Journey back to Medicine Creek and follow their story as they find a way back to one other. This book can be read as a stand alone.

This is a truly beautiful story of two adults who part ways to pursue goals and to try to move on. When all is said and done, you'll fall in love with Jobeth, Hunter and baby Paisley! It's rare, but second chances take risk and sacrifice. Read it for yourself and see what happens in the end! Christine has a true gift reaching and tugging at your heart strings with endless stories of love, loss, and survival that leave you wanting more every time!

Following Jobeth and Hunter as they move through the hurt from their past to an unexpected solution to what keeps them from starting an adult relationship. Christine Rimmer writes a very believable plot in which you understand each point of view and you struggle along with them. I had to read it in one sitting!

What a delightful read this was. JoBeth and her family were a delight in earlier Christine Rimmer books, and the family and characters didn't disappoint here. Learning that sometimes we can make a mistake in the past and have an opportunity to correct it is a wonderful lesson. Great characters and story line. Look forward to many more Bravo books.

A wonderful edition to the Bravo Family books. Jobeth and Hunter were in love 16 years ago. Read to find out what happens after he returns to town. I did receive this as part of the book review team. But I’ve been reading Christine’s books for years.
Read
February 7, 2023I love the Bravo series. The addition of Jobeth and Hunter is great. A wonderful story of old loves who get together again after several years, and the feelings are still there. Can't wait to read the next book.
