![]() ![]() The stories featured average girl heroines in interesting settings and themes: a wilderness camp, Australia, Hawaii, a luxury cruise ship, England, dude ranch, an exclusive country club, a hospital, a hockey arena. The romances were lightweight, usually featuring - dances, picnics, first kisses and nothing more problematic than the heroine trying to get a boy (she admired) to notice her and/or keep him interested. The stories ran from 1981 – 1995 and featured a bevy of wonderful reoccurring authors. Similarly they featured covers with pretty teens posing like fashion models in colorful clothes, most often alone but on a few rare covers paired up with a boy or another girl to add some visual interest. They were the Grand-daddy of all teen romance, more popular than First Love From Silhouette, certainly longer lasting but the fad of thematic romances didn’t stem from them – they were following the likes of Wishing Star and Wildfire. While boys collected bubble gum cards girls collected and traded Sweet Dreams novels – they were everywhere! You could spin any wire book-rack in any library, you could go into any shop, browse any girlie white hutch over a desk and find at least two or three selections to add to your cache. ![]() ![]() ****Check out the Ultimate series pages by clicking onto highlighted series title!*** It’s a work in progress so not every series is ready yet, Hope you enjoy!*** WILDFIRE And WISHING STAR Ultimate pages click the Links! ![]()
