Rating: Summary: Dating Game Review: This is a story of a middle aged woman who's life is turned upside down after her husband of twenty+ years decides he'd rather be married to a woman half his age. She is devastated with the loss of the only life she's known and loves, until she decides to move out west at the advice of her counsellor to be closer to her two grown children. There, she begins to build a new life for herself with a promising new job, new friends, and handful of rather pathetic blind dates. My heart reached out for Paris in the beginning as she tried to deal with what was happening to her. The story took a turn, however, after her move to California and I found it difficult to stay interested.

Rating: Summary: you can do better than that... Review: This is actually my first Danielle Steel book. I like the book in the beginning, but soon I got bored. Paris is a "sad" character. It seems to me she forgives her unfaithful husband too easily. Maybe it's just me, but i was expecting to see more emotion then the "wanting him back" and "missing him". Being an independent woman, this book irrates me. I respect housewives, however there are so many other things to enjoy, why does a woman have to find her own self worth in raising kids and running a family, like Paris? There are p-l-e-n-t-y things she could do to make herself happy.... this book is kind of a set back for all the women.
Rating: Summary: An OKAY Book Review: This is an okay book. I expected it to be funny and witty. It had it's funny parts but no as I had thought! But overall it was a good book!
Rating: Summary: Fun,and Engaging Book Review: This was Danielle Steel finest. It realistically describe the struggles that Paris feels after her world is turn upside down after her husbands leaves her for a younger woman. The feelings of her kids were express well too. This is a book that you will enjoy reading and laughing at the same time.
Rating: Summary: A BRAVURA READING Review: With numerous stage, film and television roles to his credit Sam Freed gives a bravura reading of Danielle Steel's 57th novel. What would it be like to return to the singles' scene after 24 years of marriage? Listeners will discover just how it might be with "Dating Game." Being tossed aside for a younger model is a story probably as old as men and women. Nonetheless, it was a completely new and an excruciatingly painful scenario for Paris Armstrong. She had two grown children, a satisfying life, a lovely Connecticut home, and a contented husband - or so she thought until he bluntly asked for a divorce. She ached, she wept; she was inconsolable. Nevertheless, she knew she must go on. As might be expected friends rallied round bringing with them any number of impossible suitors. None could hold a candle to Peter, the former husband whom she still loved. Deciding that distance might assuage her heartbreak Paris moved West - all the way to San Francisco. There were men there, too; all of them wrong for her. And, of all things, her daughter would soon marry a man her age. Yet, as in many Steel novels there are lessons to be learned in disappointment and joy to be found in the most unexpected places. A veteran yarn spinner, Steel weaves another trip on the rocky roads of romance that her fans will relish. - Gail Cooke
Rating: Summary: OMG! This 1 was the worst I read! Review: Without giving away the plot, I found myself ready to scream at Paris....GET A DOG!
Rating: Summary: Filler Review: Years ago I was enthralled with Danielle Steel, after all, everyone dreams of a love story, even with the drama. However, I grew tired of the same descriptions of the characters, repeated storylines interwoven. I stopped reading her books. Then I saw this one, read the online reviews, and excitedly purchased it. I wish I could say I loved it. After being in the dating world forever, I certainly laughed at some of her awful dates, but it feels almost insulting to have every paragraph repeat the one before, or to repeat what the character is thinking a page later, only with different words. I wish I had loved it, I just was frustrated, and three-quarters of the way through, I jumped to the end.
