Summary: Dull Until the End
Review: This book started out good and had a wonderful ending. But,everything in between was dull.

I don't understand how Bill neglected his first wife and his children by not spending enough time with them and then, be such a caring and devoted supporter for Adrian. Why wasn't he as committed to his orginial family as he was his second family?

Next, Adrian nearly drove me crazy by being so secretive to keep from having confrontations with different characters in the story. She was going to have to tell Bill she was pregnant sooner or later so why let their relationship grow knowing it may end? It did not make sense for her not to tell her mother about the baby sooner. She should have told those whom she worked with that Steven had left her. As it was, her co-workers thought she was having an affair. Did she not tell the co-workers she was pregnant because she thought they would never know? She took the "road of least resistance" too many times to suit me. There are many other questions I had while reading the book but you can read it for yourself. Many have loved the book.

Summary: Not bad... but not great.
Review: This book wasn't awful, but I think it was terribly unoriginal. I think that the heroine, Adrian, was kind of stupid when it came to Steven, her ex. If your looking for a Danielle Steel book that will really make you cry, try reading THE RING.

Summary: Lightweight Steel
Review: This is not a really bad novel, but I didn't find it terribly interesting. Very sappy love story and the neverending references to "our beautiful unborn baby" made me want to gag. It was almost as bad as being at a baby shower full of pregnant women (which is a nightmare really). Steel's hardcore fans will like this, but if you're in that 'Other' category, this book probably should be on your 'Do not read' list.

Summary: Pretty good read
Review: This was the first book by Steele I have read, and , well, reading this one didn't make me want to jump up and buy any more of her works. Don't get me wrong-- the book isn't bad by any means. I just found it rather sappy. I couldn't make myself like the main character too much, either; she seemed like one of those whiny, moronic women who call Dr. Laura for advice. Bill Thigpen, however, was a nice character, and the jerk Steven made a nice "villain." A fast, easy read-- you don't need to pay much attention to detail. I would recommend this to someone who likes romance, but otherwise I would avoid this title.
