About this title

Review

All grown up now, Carrie Burnett has just returned home from her studies in New Orleans. She's promised her hand to a man chosen by her father, the town's judge. Yet her heart remains her own, having been badly scarred by the apparent betrayal of Baird Connor, her childhood sweetheart. Baird Connor has just escaped from jail. He was due to hang with his brother in two weeks for a murder they didn't commit. In one last desperate move to free his brother, Baird, with the aid of the schoolmarm that remembers the special devotion shared by the young lovers, kidnaps Carrie from a party that is to announce her engagement. Leaving a note behind demanding his brother's release in exchange for the judge's daughter, Baird whisks the woman that has haunted him daily for the past two years off to a secluded island. Each thinking that the other had abandoned their tender commitment, sparks fly as they wrestle with feelings long thought repressed. The familiar tug of desire they'd once found in each others arms threatens to overtake them once again. Meanwhile, oil is discovered on the Connor brother's land. A web of conspiracy and deceit is slowly unveiled to expose a bevy of adversaries, once thought of as friends. And in the midst of it all, the star-crossed lovers harbor a passion destined to bind their hearts forever.Readers will delight in this heart-warming romance that leaves you with a lingering smile. Forever, My Love is a shining example of the extraordinary talent that fans of this remarkable author have come to expect. Ms. Bryant is a maestro when it comes to playing at the heartstrings! LaRee Bryant creates charming, completely endearing characters that are simply unforgettable.Lori Wright -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved -- From Literary Times
