Reviews

[Liz Rewolinski · Rating 3 out of 5]

And we're back to predictable, typical DS. (Her previous offering, The Devil's Daughter, was actually quite good and followed a totally different storyline!)

Would have loved hearing more about Quinne and less about the complete idiot Veronica and sad sack Isabelle. Several typos in this one, too, and the usual "let me repeat the same details over and over to make sure you understand" (DS is a major TELLER, not a show-er, if this is your first novel of hers you'll figure it out quickly)

Rich young women, French characters, several recycled first and last names from previous books. Etc.

Beautiful story

I loved this story, with all it's twists and turns. Sad at times but tempered with loving moments.

I highly recommend this story.

Thanks Danielle, from a New Zealand fan.

I quite enjoyed this one, predictability and all.

Good concept in the story line but I must remind myself the next time I pick up a Danielle Steele book to never read another. Her writing is so repetitive that it gets boring.

It was a read with and without an action or a plot. Somehow the newest novels miss out on the magic that older ones carry. Feels forced in a way.
