FOREVER YOURS~SWEET EDITIONS II
Will she risk it all for love? Three women take that challenge.
Kathy has put her heart and soul on the line-she must win or lose it all. Can Jason convince her to fight for him instead? Terry has failed at too much in life-now she must prove she can save her father's job for him, despite the odds and Rick Carrington standing in the way. Shelley Carrington finally meets a man she could give her heart to--but is he actually conning her the way he cons the rest of the world?
Six lives, three loves, three relationships worth fighting for!
Each book is related to the DESTINY BAY world, but each can be read on its own.
DESTINY BAY ROMANCES~THE SWEET EDITIONS These are basically the same stories that are found in Destiny Bay Romances- Forever Yours, but with the conflicts softened a bit, the language cleaned up, and no explicit love scenes. There are still a few adult situations, but they're muted. Consider these the PG versions.
Helen Conrad was born on April 11, 1945 in Pasadena, California, U.S.A. and grew up between Holland, Guam, and California, and spent a few years in Washington, D.C. as well. She obtained a B.A. in English Literature.
Helen was working toward a Master's in Library Science when she dropped out to have her first son. "One look into those baby blue eyes and I knew it was going to be a long time before I went back to school. But with young ones, you do have time to read, and the more I read, the more I learned about writing". She started writing because she felt guilty about spending so much time reading. "Through writing I figured I could still immerse myself in the stories I love, but I could actually claim I was working! The amazing thing was when I sold my first book and the excuse was justified. Dreams really do come true!"
After years of writing romantic suspense in the style of Mary Stewart and children's books in a lot of styles, she finally sold a romance to Jove's Second Chance at Love and there was celebration all around-at least in her ever-patient family of husband and four boys. She published four more romances for Jove under the name Jena Hunt, then began writing Silhouette Desires. A few sales to Bantam Loveswept and Harlequin Romance, Temptationand SuperRomance under the name Helen Conrad followed, as well as to Harpers, Dell Ecstasy, Mills & Boon, and even an historical with Zebra. Today, she is concentrating on Silhouette Romance, completely captivated by the breezy fun and touching poignancy of their compact, to-the-point form. She feels the perfect "quick read" should make the reader smile, sigh and put the book down feeling better about the state of love in the world.
Now, she lives in the Los Angeles area now with Nick, her geologist-computers cientist husband and the two of her four sons who still live at home."Having the boys around helps keep me up on the current trends," she says with a laugh. "But writing helps keep me in touch with the romance that weaves through the everyday lives we all live."
I am now a new fan of Helen Conrad. I thoroughly enjoyed the forever yours destiny Bay series . I am anxiously looking forward to continuing reading the next saga in this series .
It was a nice, easy read getting to know each new set of Carringtons. Kept me looking forward to the next chapter. I wish Destiny Bay was a real town I could visit. I love how the author brings it to life.
In this 2nd box set these books were really good. Books 4 & 5 had good storylines. Books 4 & 5 I really liked the chemistry & romance between the main characters. I really enjoyed Kathy & Terry's determination. In Book 5 I really loved the scenes with Terry & the kids. Book 6 was okay. I think this 2nd book set was better than the first one.
Three more stories about the Carringtons. Dr Steven Carringtons three children. And the continuing story of Tag and Mickey. Conrad writes a really engrossing romance, and her love scenes are great without being gross. I prefer something left to the imagination.
I've read series 1-4 box set and box set 1-3 on the second series and I thought they were both very enjoyable reading. Now I'm about to start ready the baby box set and looking forward to it.
