Wow, this book was overwraught and impossible to believe. I understand that it is a work of fiction but this stretches credibility a bit too far. There is a happy ending but this is a bit too much. It strains even the most forgiving reader's ability to accept. For me it is just too too much a of a fairytale. You will find yourself asking really????? Too convenient too contrived for one to enjoy the ending or the read.
This was the first DS novel I read. Some characters touched me while it was almost a dream like story. Predictable of course, but readable. I loved the character of Alex, the Medico that she was. And yes, the message of second chance found in most of Steel's works. A hollywood novel in setting and credibility. Some characters were lovable and Jimmy's one of them. And the death of his wife was touching.
An okay read.

Very predictable. I gave it to my mother to read and she only read a couple of chapters and could tell me almost the whole plot. Very predictable ... fun reading though - like watching a movie :)
I was surprised to find the depth of character and insight with this reading and enjoyed it very much. It was my introduction to Danielle Steel and I won't hesitate to read more by her.
ordinary fiction. just for entertaining. language is simple - good for those, who are learning english as foreign.
Brilliant story, great for a light bit of reading. Reflects real life problems but in a positive way with a happy outcome.
This book was ok. It was interesting enough to keep me reading through to the end but not very exciting.
Made me want to go live with the Characters at the Cottage. I think this is one of Danielle's best books!

I read all of Danielle Steel's books.
This was another predictable story by Danielle Steel, but I enjoyed the storyline & characters.
Haven't read any of her books for a long time. A bit predictable but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The cottage was a enjoyable book I love the authors mind and how she writes and weaves the story.
This would have to be one of my favorites...The Accident & The Ranch were the best, but this one was up there on my to read list.
Pretty good. Lots of character development. It was kind of predictable at the end though.
I know I've listened to this book before but I don't remember when.
This was a pretty good book. It was typical Danielle Steel.
I loved this story. It's very touching.
I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. I read it in a week and considering it was the first book I've read in a while and finished it so fast I must of liked it. I felt for all of the characters in the story, and that doesn't happen very often. Great and fast read!
Book #52 read in 2009
Predictable but very light and easy reading.
" Nothing special.. "
Loved it.
Loved it....
Good story - not the typical Danielle Steele.
A little too wordy at times and a bit far fetched, but I enjoyed reading this novel.
Was this book predictable - a bit. Was this book classic Danielle Steel - yes - and that's why I love it.
When I am in the mood for an awesome, predictable beach read, I always turn to Danielle Steel - cause you can't go wrong. You KNOW what your gonna get.

This is another great romance from Danielle Steel. This shows plenty of promise and passion, when a couple falls in love after they meet and have a second chance, while staying at the cottage. A good read!
I was a bit surprised that most of the characters in this were all men. Not really what I expected from DS. But it was a nice change of pace.

This book was an easy breezy read - typical Danielle Steel and yes, very predictable. Good storyline and characters you can really relate to.
This book was chosen for Book Club by Barb for April 2004. An aging actor, divorced father, and widower become residents on the same property.
This is another "read on the airline book" since it is an easy read. This one was pretty good with interesting characters.
