Falling in love when you least expect it is like dreaming you’re a princess and waking up to realize it’s true.Ģ. Jenny might not even finish the term at Tremont high. Jenny – Natalie Johnson – 1982 – Everyone knows opposites attract but could Jenny, who loved to dance, and Ben who was the high school’s star quarterback, really bein love? They didn’t have anything in common besides going to the same school. It’s taken years to compile especially since these books are, or rather they feel, rarer than some of the other romance series.ġ. I only have a little over 30 books from this series so the rest of the information and covers I’ve had to scour the internet for. *Sorry for the missing covers and book descriptions. A couple of the books were also reprinted for the hardcover Weekly Reader books – I keep coming across Sheary Suiter’s The Right kind of Guy in that edition rather than Caprice’s. Though I’ve never found one missing a chunk. I wonder if sometimes the cutting up of the back cover didn’t lead to a lot of copies being thrown out, as Caprice’s have become some of the hardest books to find. On the back of the books, in later editions, was a Proof of Purchase symbol that the reader could cut out – like cereal box tops – to send away (once they had racked up the heart points) for various Caprice branded items – a cosmetic bag, a keyring, a choker and an ankle bracelet. There’s not much storywise that separates a Caprice romance from Wildfire or Sweet Dreams although because the font is smaller it was often a denser read (than their competition) and offered the writers more freedom to be more stylish or offbeat with their prose. Some became the series top writers – Harriette S Abels, Judith Enderle and Francess Lin Lantz. The authors were good – some would move on and become known for other genres – Carol Ellis in Point Thrillers, Gloria D Miklowitz in highly charged topical novels – some were also drawing fans in Wildfire and Sweet Dreams – Deborah Kent, Janet Quin-Harkin. They were put out by Ace Tempo and were giving Wildfire and Wishing Star a run for their money. Although on the very first book Jenny – the logo is white and resembles something more along the lines of an interactive romance. I don’t know a lot about Caprice novels they started with dull photo covers and a lackluster logo angled on the edge of a corner before splashing out with bright colors and a logo that resembled a choker or belt buckle.
