Sisters
They were a sensation -- the #1 girl group in America. Behind the glamour and the glitter lay the tears...
IRIS. The talented lead singer who thrived on the cheers of the fans, the fast money, the fame. But there was a hunger raging inside her to be a superstar... and to be free of Madeleine, the mother who loved and controlled her with equal power. Now Iris was scheming, lying, and running wild: a "bad" girl forgetting the sisters who cherished her and rushing headlong toward seduction, sin, and the worst mistake of her young life.
DIANE. The gorgeous backup singer who blindly adored her sisters. She didn't see the betrayal or the passions that would rip a family apart. And when the terrible truth finally turned dreams to ashes, she ran from show business to marriage, searching for the happiness she craved. Instead, fate would sweep her into sudden, unexpected celebrity, a tragedy that could cost her everything, and the arms of a man who promised one last chance ...for love.

Candace Pauline Camp was born on May 23, 1949 in Amarillo, Texas, U.S.A.. The youngest of three children born into a newspaper family -- her mother, Lula Mae (Irons) Camp, had been a reporter and her father, Grady Camp, was the business manager of the Amarillo, Texas, newspaper -- some of Candace's earliest memories are of making up stories which she played out on the floor of their den with whatever objects were handy. She cannot remember a time when she was not interested in creating stories. She began writing down her stories when she was about 10, and from then on writing was her favorite form of relaxation. Explains Candace: "I was always very shy and did not talk much. However, in written form, I could express all my thoughts and feelings."
Writing remained only a hobby, though, as Candace attended college at the University of Texas at Austin and West Texas State University, then became a secondary teacher in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. She later moved to North Carolina, where she worked in the trust department of a bank. It was there that she discovered the romance novel in modern form and started to write her first romance. She also began law school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and while she was there, she finished her first novel, entitled Bonds of Love, that was published by Jove Publishing in 1978, under the pseudonym Lisa Gregory. Candace credits the rigorous training of law school with teaching her the discipline necessary to finish a book. She gave up the practice of law to devote her time to writing. Two pseudonyms later (Kristin James and Sharon Stephens), Candace writes under her own name Candace Camp-- and still loves creating stories.
Candace is married since 1980 with Pete Hopcus, and they had a daughter Anastasia Hopcus in 1982, who had started on her own career path in the field of acting and now also writes young adult novels.

I couldn't finish this one, because I was only interested in one of the sisters, and I knew right away where her story was headed, though I wished it would have been different. It's one of those cases where the H isn't necessarily the HEA, and the OM may be the H in disguise, but the h is so besotted by the H (or by who she thinks he is) that she can't see the forest for the trees.
This isn't a bad thing, except when years go by, children are born, the h and OM are both married (but not to each other), and the h seems to be living "crappily ever after" with an emotionally troubled H with mental health issues, who uses them as a passive/aggressive weapon against the h.
If she stays married to him, it hardly seems worth it. If she ends up with the OM, it's too little too late. Either way, I decided it wasn't worth hanging around for.
Didn't live up to its promise.
