386 books28 followersAka Helen Conrad and Jena Hunt
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.

Good book. I liked Diana. She had built a good life for herself after a pretty bad childhood. She now had a successful business and a baby on the way. Then, after ten years, Cam came back to town. He had come to try to rescue his family from their financial disaster. He also realized that he had never forgotten Diana, and was incredibly attracted to the woman she had become. I liked the fact that he kept telling his family that they were wasting their time trying to get him to marry for money. I have to say that I didn't like his family much. His sister was a bit of a bitch, though she got a bit better by the end. His mother was unwilling to face reality, and kept trying to push various women on him. His grandfather was stuck in the past, though he did redeem himself at the end. Diana had issues with believing in her own worth. She refused to believe that she was good enugh for Cam, and kept pushing him away. I wanted to smack her and tell her to join the 21st century. I liked the way things worked out for them.

It was a good read, I was really impressed with the hero and how he took responsibility for the heroine and her pregnancy. When the secret came out, I can't say I was surprised because I wasn't. The book was kind of predictable in some ways.

É um romance bem levinho, gostei!! Não tem grandes dramas nem cenas hots, mas serve bem para passar umas horas distraída.
