Summary: Cliche ridden, boring, plot holes...should I go on?
Review: This book is about a man and a woman who meet one night .Peter Haskell is a man who doesn't cheat or take the easy way does everything the hard way until one trip to Paris he meets Olivia Thatcher the senators wife who feel like she is thin air and it just so happens they're both staying at the ritz at the place vendome in Paris. Peter notices Olivia straight away and cannot take his mind off her so on the first night he takes a dip in the swimming pool and guess who he finds there Olivia of course they don't talk and stay away from each other. On the second night the same thing happens But after that the fire bell goes and every one has to evacuate because of a bomb scare Peter cannot take his eyes off Olivia and he notices she walks off and he follows her and catches up and they spend the night baring their souls to each other. Later that morning they go back to the hotel and everything seemed to be o.k. except for the fact that Olivia has gone missing and Peter is the only one who realises she probably hasn't been kidnapped (due to some earlier info he told that night)So he goes to look for her and the rest is well you have to read it One thing i have noticed about DS's books is that every time someone goes to Paris they stay ant the ritz. this is abook worth getting and the bit of the book i just described was the first 1 hundred pages definitely worth

Summary: "Bridges of Madison County" Danielle Steel style
Review: You have to hand it to Danielle Steel--if bandwagon jumping was an Olympic event, she'd be Marion Jones. This novel was so obviously influenced by "The Bridges Of Madison County" I'm surprised she didn't dedicate it to Robert James Waller. Of course, since Ms. Steel cannot abide poverty (or even middle class), the book takes place in the swanky Paris Ritz instead of an Iowa farmhouse. I gave it two stars because it's been a very long time since I laughed this hard reading a book. Totally ludicrous and predictable--but, then again, what Danielle Steel book isn't?
