Review: Great book! I could hardly put this one down, and whenever I did put it down I was constantly wondering about Adrian and Bill! To this date I have not given any of her books five stars, except Jewels. I guess I'm waiting for one of her books to beat out that one! Seems impossible!

Summary: Pretty good read
Review: I am a great fan of Danielle Steel and 'Heartbeat' didn't dissapoint me. I liked the twist and the drama of the middle chapters, the accident scene, aswell as the cliffhanger in the end... I think the author has drawn a very objective picture when describing Adrian Townsend, a person who has been mistreated and confused...and the feelings she has for this wondeful and ordinary man, Bill Thigpen, who has just entered her life at the right time... It's a 'real' situation that can happen in real life and, as in many of her books, Danielle gives us an insight on how an ordinary person would approach this.Danielle Steel is by far, my favorite fiction author.

Summary: Funny, sweet, romantic
Review: I am a huge Danielle Steel fan even though I'm only 12 and I have to say that this is by far the best out of all the great books I've read by her. It was very easy to read and made me laugh and cry. Heartbeat was very realistic and showed that true love does exsist no matter what the circumstances are.

Summary: Dull
Review: I am by no means addicted to Romance novels, but having been given this book during a short vacation visit to my aunt's, I decided to give the very famous Steele a chance. What struck me first is the prose-- it's by no means bad, but neither it is very good, though, I must note, it gets better into the book. But flowery, exaggerated, or downright laughable phrases like "she had legs so long that they seemed to reach her armpits" stuck to my mind for sheer awfulness. The plot includes a villain that, though not exactly a stereotype, is in some ways completely unbelievable. I just had a hard time believing that Adrian's husband was capable of abandoning his wife of so many years and unborn baby without looking back. If it had been a casual romance-- all right. But abandoning a woman he loves-- I realize that this IS a romance novel, but still. I was almost wishing for some great and sensational secret behind his decision to enliven the plot a little. Bill Thingpen, the protagnoist, is engaging enough, but Adrian has almost nothing in her to interest the reader. The plot, too, is dull. I thought that romance novels are full of sensational events, as they must be. But this one was almost too "life like" to be interesting. In summary, this novel fails on both counts. As a romance, it's not particularly exciting. As a realistic novel, the existence of an implausible villain makes it not realistic enough. It tries to go both ways, and fails on both counts. I found myself skimming some parts out of sheer boredom. I give this novel 2 stars instead of 1 only because it wasn't precisely horrible... I've read some romance novels that were much worse. Not bad, but not recommended.

Summary: This book was delicious!
Review: I couldnt stop reading it, and i found myself staying up way later than i should have just trying ot get through the next couple of pages... Bill Thigpen was married to his work and didnt realize that his marrige was falling apart until it was too late, his then wife, Leslie, left him, taking their two young boys, Adam and Tommy, while Bill moved to California to persue his career. Meanwhile, Adrian Townsend is married to this creep named Steven, and Steven had a horrible upbringing, and he never wanted to have kids. So when adrian finds out that she is pregnant, he tells her to have an Abortion, or he will leave her. She finds that she cannot abort this baby, and Steven says that she betrayed him by getting pregnant. (it was his fault too..i hated him!) So Adrian is left on her own with this unborn baby, when she meets Bill. They kept running into eachother, and started a friendship. This book was so very good, and it goes through all the triles and tribulations. I loved it and I think you will too!

Summary: pretty empty
Review: I found this book rather flat and uninteresting as to both characters and events. When I finished reading, I felt like I did not really read anything, that I can't even describe what the book is about. An average book of nowadays.

Summary: Heartbeat, yes, but whose?
Review: I loved this book because I am die-hard romantic. That's why I love Danielle Steel. We all wish that someone would love us in the ways that she portrays in her books.

Summary: I'm 12 as well!
Review: I loved this novel. Characters were richly portrayed and the plot was awesome. It's the type of book that tempts you to join The Danielle Steel Book Club. Oprah, eat your heart out! Though I don't read Steel anymore (I felt like a women reading her books, besides, the kids in my class were making fun of me) I firmly suggest you read this book. Stephen King is great as well. I suggest you also read him. I feel more like a man reading King. "Unmask unmask!"
