Summary: I"ll look forward to another try.
Review: I have always been a great fan of Danielle Steel's, but her last three books have been a big disappointment. This one sounded like a shorter version of Zoya. I enloyed it somewhat, but I felt like she kept going on an on and did not give the reader(me)more. The books that she wrote a while back were much better. I will try again.

Summary: Good fluff reading.
Review: I enjoyed reading this little book and finished it in one day, although I had no intention of doing so when I started. It is good summer reading and sounded like it could have been true. Has anyone else heard that D. Steel is not writing her own books, and has otherswriting and then they go under Danielle Steel as author? Some of her latest books seem to be that way. Let's give credit where it is due!

Summary: History comes to life.
Review: I was just beginning to think I was totally burnt out on Danielle Steel. I have read just about all of them. Though, in recent time, I have been disapointed. Her newiest one, Granny Dan made me think she was going to go back to adding a liitle history to her novels and that would please me. I enjoyed this story, but her chapters appeared to be repetitous. It would have made a great short story.

Summary: Disappointed....again.
Review: Again, I find myself disappointed with a Danielle Steele book. Is she rushing to complete too many books in a year, or has she lost her magic touch? I have read all her books, but definitely think her earlier books were by far her best. I have not purchased a D. S. book since "The Ranch", so great was my disappointment in that one. Instead, I trade with friends or go to the local library. Please, to whom it may concern, have Ms. Steele go back and reread her earlier books. Maybe she can recapture her art of storytelling without having to repeat herself throughout the book. Then I will purchase another.

Summary: Great book....
Review: This is definitely one of Steele's best books. The story was very touching, and the characters full of life, love and passion. I could almost see it happening before my very eyes. No one, should miss this book.

Summary: Danielle missed the mark this time
Review: I am an advid Danielle Steel fan and "pre-ordered" her new book so I could feast on it ASAP! I was in for a huge disappointment. The story is sweet but could have/should have been sold as a short story. It left me feeling cheated, having paid full price for a hardcover book that was clearly a rush job. If you feel you must read it... do yourself a favor... wait for it to hit your local library or USED bookstore

Summary: Thank goodness I borrowed.....instead of bought this!!!!
Review: More of an outline than a real story, this very short, fluffy read is a real disappointment. She offers us nothing new with this....it actually seems as though she whipped this one out in a weekend by just thinking of the basic plot of previous books like Zoya. Very shallow, even babyish writing here, no depth, and really no interest overall, and certainly no surprises....why is it that nearly every Steel book has a heroine who is pregnant and has no clue about it? Her shorter books are her worst...although, I remain a fan of her storytelling talents......they just weren't evident in this one!

Summary: "A Revised, Condensed Version" of Zoya!
Review: I have been a Danielle Steel fan FOREVER (she has been writing that long, hasn't she?). I too believe that Ms. Steele is "rushing" to get the books out. I was truly disappointed in this one (although it was a "sweet" story) but I felt I was reading a "condensed, revised" version of Zoya. Has Ms. Steel run out of ideas? Are her publishers suppressing her creative abilities by rushing the deadlines and the $ signs? Publishers and Editors: Please allow Ms. Steel her creative "room" and let her "breathe" betweeen novels - I'll wait! for great stories like "Heartbeat", "Jewels", "Changes".... I am and remain, a Danielle Steel Fan!

Summary: The most touching story I've read in ages
Review: A real love story. An innocent love. Firstly, Danina's love for her career in the world of ballet and secondly, the unconditional love she shares with her doctor/lover, a married man who not only adores her, but who lives in a loveless relationship married to a woman who never loved him, but would also not permit someone else to love him or ever allow him to love another. A love story that is so warm that it gives you hope. Not to forget the high price ones pays for such unconditional love which has no boundaries.
