Intro to Moving Too Fast
From Author Helen Conrad

ìWinning isnít everything-itís the only thing.î

Injured racecar driver Grant Carrington lives by those words and Carrie Harlow is afraid heíll end up dying by them. She resists him at first, instinctively seeing that heís dangerous to know. He needs her skill as a physical therapist, and she lives to heal. But he lives to win. That puts them at odds right from the beginning.

Grant is probably the hardest hero Iíve ever written. He puts on a gruff, rough shell to protect himself from the vulnerability he feels after being injured. His past is littered with old emotional pain and a history that makes him think he doesnít deserve to be loved by a woman as good and loveable as Carrie. It takes patience and courage for her to work with himóbut she heals his heart at the same time she heals his body, and in the end, he realizes that accepting and giving love makes him the biggest winner of all.

I hope you enjoy these booksóand be on the lookout for the next three which will be released soon!


Moving Too Fast
Destiny Bay Romances - Forever Yours
(Sweet Edition #3)
by Helen Conrad
Adult Romance
Paperback & Ebook, 250 pages
March 28th 2014 by Doorknock Publishing

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 isnít 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.

Purchase from Amazon.

My Thoughts
This has been a fun series, and I'm so glad I took a chance on these books! It was fun to meet the third Carrington brother—the wild and crazy one! Of the three books, this was probably my favorite storyline. 

Carrie's determination to help Grant recover from his injury—despite the fact that he thinks he can recover on his own—was a great match for Grant's stubbornness. I enjoyed seeing how Carrie grew throughout the book, to the point where she was a strong character rather than someone who has trouble standing up for herself. The epilogue was the perfect conclusion to this series as well!

There was still a fair amount of "head hopping" which caused a little confusion at time, but it didn't bother me as much as in the previous two books.

I've enjoyed these "sweet" romances and would love to see the author release more of her prior novels as sweet editions. [3.5 stars]

(Note: Unlike many books that I review, this book is written for the general market, but it is overall a clean read.)

I received a free copy of this book from the author via Prism Book Tours in exchange for my fair and honest review.

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!"
