This was one the books I had to read for my adult materials and services classes. I had to read books from genres I usually didn't read from in my leisure.
So...
Maxine was married to Blake, which dissolved when she found he was more devoted to his work than he was his family. Years later, she finds love with Dr. Charles West, whom she plans to marry. When Blake reappears in her life again, he seems to be a changed man, especially when he wants her to assist the survivors of a nat...more

It's been several years since I braved a Danielle Steel offering. I am a fan of cover art and when this book came out in hardback a year ago I pondered buying it just for the places the cover took my imagination. I'm glad I held out for the paperback. The first rule of a writer is to show and not tell, I think in her long standing best seller status Ms. Steel may have forgotten the simple rules. This felt more like an outline in a lot of scenes than a real book. A lot of very key elements were ...more

I listened to this book on CD, and the voices were AWFUL! Some of the characters came off as being completely obnoxious, although I don't think they would have been if I'd read it. I just couldn't stand listening to Charles talk. He sounded like a snobby, dorky old man. And her kids voices were terrible too! Her son jack sounded like a pot-smoking dope. And her daughter was equally annoying.

Other than the reader, I think it was an OK book. It passed the time while I drove, a...more

Sometimes a book just charms you. This was one of those cases. I love the way the story was all woven together and then tied at the end with a pretty ribbon. There were hints at how it might end all through but it was still a pleasant affirmation and left me with a smile on my face.

As usual, Ms. Steel's female characters who are strong, capable women with real careers and all the life balancing of family and career, is refreshing and a welcome change.

Another typical Steel book about perfect women, imperfect men, rotten children and a ton of money!!! And you wonder why the author has been married and divorced so many times! I like to read these books once in awhile because I don't have to think at all and can read them in an afternoon or during a baseball game. Easy on the brain books.

I liked this Danielle Steel book better than the previous two I read. I didn't feel like the plot was rushed or romances were sped up to fit the book into a certain page requirement. It did follow a typical DS format but I enjoyed reading it and was able to read it quickly. A good summer beach read for sure :)

Against my better judgement, I accepted this book from my aunt who begged me to read it. First and last Steel for me. The child psychiatrist character was intriguing to me, but that was about it. This story was beyond predictable. I had it figured out by the 3rd chapter. I'm surprised I finished it. I put it down about 100 times swearing not to pick it back up.

I picked this book up at the library, figuring I'd give her another chance.

Most of her books are basically the same story, book after book....this one ended well (as hers usually do) but the storyline was a 'little' differetn.

I enjoyed it!

I'm listening to this book on CD. I started this book on 03/06/2009. I finished this book on 03/19/2009.

I listened to this book on CD and it was actually pretty good. Danielle Steel books have always been hard for me to read and get into but I usually like it on CD. Anyhow, it was good. I loved the twist at the end and thought Charles was a butt the whole way through.

This book was entertaining....however, like most authors she repeated her herself throughout the book. It was annoying re-reading the story over and over again throughout the book. I also didn't like how the author was one-sided. Maxine was a bit@h for what she did to her fiance.

I usually like her books, but this one was SOO repetitive, and took so much time describing where they were, landscapes, etc., that the story could have been told much more quickly. The last 20 pages or so were interesting.

How can people read her. This was my first attempt. I thought the first chapter would never need. It kept repeating. After 3 chapters, I'd reached my breaking point and decided to donate this book to a resale shop.

Liked it. Danielle Steel is one of my favorite authors, although I don't read her books as often. This one was a good love story.
