Special Delivery by Danielle Steel was the first book I have read by this author. I finished it quickly and enjoyed the story line of two people unexpectedly falling in love during their midlives. Jack, a confirmed batchlor with two grown children, meets and is smitten with Amanda, a retired star who also has two grown children. They are cautious of each other at first but it doesn't take long for the attraction to become intense. When they discover they are expecting a child at ages 51 and ...more
UGH
Danielle Steele writes romance books for 3rd graders.
Not that they are for 3rd graders, but the language is so trite, the grammar so bad (commas everywhere, especially where they don't belong) and the characters so one dimensional and wooden it's a wonder I lasted so long into it.
People are either wonderful or not. The wonderful ones are the same, no difference in character, good looking, without flaws, and filthy rich. Surprising, Jack, the lead in the boo...more

I liked this one but thought that it should have a little more animosity between Jack and Amanda when they first start seeing each other. The second half of the book held many surprises for the reader and I especially loved how it ended. I was surprised at the ending. This didn't seem like a typical Danielle Steel book, in that there were less descriptions and more fast-moving action than there is in most of her books. It was also a shorter than usual book, among all her books I've previousl...more
I'm almost ashmed to say that I read a Danielle Steel book every year. I think she's written enough for me to keep reading them until I'm well into my hundreds. There's really not much to say because they are all the same. They're easy to read and the drama keeps you turning the page. A soap opera in a book. This one was about an aged actress who finds love again. Really, really over the top, but you got to love this kind of drama.
Mom gave me this book. I read it years ago. I have sworn off Dannielle Steel, but Mom gave it to me. Waddaya do? It was a good story. Widow woman falls for her daughter's father in law, the Hollywood playboy. they play around and get pregnant. Daughter had trouble conceiving so they decided to give the baby to her. Well, daughter shows up pregnant about a month before Mom's baby is due so now she will have to keep it. Who would have thought?
Special Delivery is a fast, short novel that I enjoyed reading for the second time. In the novel there are great characters created in Danielle Steel's fashion. Love and family are two of my favorite topics. Read and appreciate Danielle's style.

Ah, a good 'ol Danielle Steel, to get me back into the spirit of summer reading!! You can't beat it! A very short, fast read, typical DS book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. And it didn't consume too much of my time.
Danielle Steel always seems to fit the bill when I am in the mood for a romance novel....most of the time I enjoy her books. This one was good, it had a bit of mystery and surprise to it.
This book was good, nothing spectacular. It was a very short, easy read. It was very predictable but it was still enjoyable and a good sunny day pool read.
Danielle Steel is a good writer; there is no denying that with how successful she is, but it's getting old, quick. More than not, her characters are beautiful, important and highly successful, living in houses we can only dream of and wearing clothing that costs more than most of us will make in our lifetime. She tends to focus on what the characters have instead of who they are. But there is an element of enjoyment when reading her books; you can lose yourself in it for a couple of hours, thoug...more
Failed marriage... and in her other books --> a woman trapped in a loveless marriage, blah-blah. What's new?
Cute, fun read. Very predictable and not too exciting, but cute.

Good
A really heartwarming book.
Nice take on the 'boy-meets-girl'scenario; a cute story.
Parts of this just made me laugh
Very simple read, but a sweet story. Pretty good book.
Special Delivery was good, but it was weird to read about a relationship between older people. It's funny how Danielle Steel often portrays her characters (particularly her main characters) as larger than life. I mean, they have perfect clothes, perfect lives, perfect jobs. Unbelievable!
Easy read, typical Danielle Steel
I liked it. Typical DS, just what I needed though. It was a very quick read. The plot was VERY predictable. I knew what was going to happen the whole time but I still enjoyed reading it play out.
Sometimes true love comes late in life and then sometimes something happens in your life that you think you don't want until it is right in front of you.
ok how many women this age do you actually think this happens to? because it happens a lot in danielle steel books!
I found it nice
