A sweet old-fashioned girl–
–isn’t what Grant Carrington is looking for. A man who lives for speed and danger, he’s only slowed down because he’s been forced to by an injury. Carrie Harlow isn’t his type, but he needs her in order to heal. She knows she’s playing with fire, but she feels she can help him and she goes for it—even though she knows she’s endangering her own heart as she fixes his.
Recipe for Carrie's Chicken Picatta included.
Well, here we are at the end of this fun tour for the sweet editions of the Destiny Bay series. I love that this author has taken her books, changed them up a bit so those of us who prefer the sweeter, softer side of romance can enjoy these stories as well. (see her explanation below) I hope this is the beginning of a new trend for romance authors!
I will say that of the three books I've read and reviewed, this one flirted more closely with the edge of clean for me. While there was no sex, the innuendo was high. Grant has lived in a world of careless sex and there is plenty of talk about it. There was mild swearing as well.
The attraction, chemistry and emotion in this book are on high at all times. I felt like Grant was egotistical and, quite honestly, a jerk most of the time. Carrie just keeps coming back for more though. Is she naive or just a glutton for punishment? She doesn't seem as bothered by Grant's past actions as I think a lot of women might be especially considering his lack of remorse. The relationship felt imbalanced for most of the book but I did enjoy the ending- especially when all the couples from the three books meet back up. It was a great way to wrap up to the family series.

A Little About the Destiny Bay Romances: Sweet Editions
From Author Helen Conrad
"The Destiny Bay Romances take place in the sort of beach town I've always loved--and now I live in one! But writing about beach towns came first and this series is centered on the rich, influential Carrington family living along the California Coast, and in Hawaii. These are good-looking, fast-driving, hard-hitting men and women whose impulses lead them into trouble every time--and inevitably to fall in love.
The original series includes language and love scenes that aren't, for the most part, especially harsh and explicit--but some of my readers from my years writing sweets for Harlequin as Raye Morgan have asked if we couldn't have sweet and clean versions--and I thought--what a good idea!
These are basically the same stories...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.
I hope you enjoy them!"
