In THE DAY OF THE STORM Rebecca Bayliss is shattered to learn of a family she never knew existed. Determined to find them, Rebecca journeys to Boscarva, a beautiful mansion in Cornwall, to meet a family torn by passion and greed. From her grandfather Grenville Bayliss, who is hiding an explosive secret, to a handsome cousin, whose kisses are dangerously seductive . . . to sensual craftsman Joss Gardner, whose past hints of intrigue, Rebecca becomes entangled in a family mystery . . . and unravelling it holds the key to her future and her heart. In ANOTHER VIEW Emma Litton can't get on with her life until she finds out just what place she has in her father's heart. She'd been at school in Europe since she was fourteen, then found a job in Paris, always wondering what her famous artist father was doing in Japan or America or at their cottage in Cornwall. Even after she meets Robert Morrow, the handsome gallery owner, and rediscovers her step-brother, Christo, she still feels compelled to probe into the truth about her past. But Emma might learn too late that it is the truth about herself she has to find and that letting go is the first step to keeping love. In SLEEPING TIGER Selina Bruce has impulsively left behind her lawyer fiancé in London and flown alone to a tiny island off the Spanish coast. She is searching for the father she has never known, but what she finds is an unexpected truth about herself and the man she plans to marry. For exotic San Antonio offers Selina more than the penetrating brilliance of the noonday sun. It offers the mysterious George Dyer, who holds the key not only to her past . . . but to her heart.… (más)
Three books included in this collection: The Day of the Storm, Another View, and Sleeping Tiger. The first two feature artists in Cornwall, the other takes a slightly more exotic trip to San Antonio.
Enjoyable light reading - all novels are short, light romances, with very well-drawn and sympathetic characters. The main protagonists are all young women who have 'issues' with one or both of their parents.
Highly recommended.
I first read this towards the end of 1996; I had almost totally forgotten the contents of all three books by the time I re-read it in 2008, and the same applied when I re-read again in 2019. Looking forward to re-reading once more in another ten or eleven years... ( )
A mediocre collection of stories. Or perhaps I should say, a collection of mediocre stories. Somewhat interesting, and maybe not bad for a lazy Sunday afternoon of reading, but nothing to write home about. ( )
