Product Information

That wasn't enough repetition? Ok, let's talk about all of the times she says she misses her mother or returning to her mother's apartment and the wave of emotions that comes with realizing she is really and truly gone forever comes washing over her. Ok, yes, she's grieving, and that's fine. I get that, I sympathize with that. But I don't need to be told 987 times about it!

Beautiful: A breathtaking novel about one woman’s strength in

I was so amazed at how Antonia was so successful having been a witness to her mother and father's constant fighting and growing up knowing her mother abandoned her to become an actress. Then her father became so indifferent to her treating her with so much indifference. I felt terrible for Antonia but seeing as this is fiction she overcame her terrible childhood. This was interesting and a lighter read for me that I still enjoyed because of the resilience and triumph over adversity. I needed a break from some of the heavier novels and Non-Fiction that I had been reading before this. Danielle Steel can be somewhat repetitive, but this was a book that was well written and different than most of her books in everything wasn't perfect. In Antonia she has created a unique character who is able to thrive despite her cold mother and then her father's neglect to show her any warmth. This is just the beginning of Antonia's life trajectory. What I have included in this review will not reach spoiler territory as it is just the beginning. I would rate this about 4.5 stars. I am so grateful to have read this as it was imaginative and was unpredictable. I read this Author's book "Beautiful," which was powerful and this was enjoyable but not as in depth. Still all in all I won't soon forget this and it is one of this Author's favorite novels. I would recommend this and I loved Antonia. You will have to read this for yourself to find out how the story reaches its arc. When there's a new Danielle Steel book out, I feel compelled to read it. Suspects is her latest. It's a short book that offers no surprises - but that's not why you read Danielle Steel. Her books are little treats that can be gobbled down in a sitting or two and offer an enjoyable escape. A little glitz and glamour are always fun when there's some espionage added. Not her best but enjoyable, nevertheless. Suspects by Danielle Steel is an emotional story about a woman who lost her husband and son in a kidnapping gone wrong. But, one year later and the kidnappers still have not been caught, and she’s in as much danger as she was before.

This is a riveting story that is all at once sad, thrilling, and hopeful. The romance between Theo and Mike is well done, and the CIA thriller aspect of this novel is compelling. The main characters instantly draw the reader in and the book is filled with intrigue. In this captivating novel from #1 New York Timesbestselling author Danielle Steel, awildlysuccessful, unmarried wedding plannerleads her clients to happily ever after. Faith Ferguson is New York’s most in-demand wedding planner, an arbiter of taste for elegant affairs, lavish ceremonies, and exclusive fêtes. She appreciates a simple celebration as much as a dazzling event, for she knows that a dream wedding is not necessarily the most expensive one. This was a hard book to read due to the crisis in the Ukraine. While the author's intent was a thrilling espionage and killer romance, I 'suspect' it will be difficult subject matter. I’m not an actress, Mr Quist, and I don’t want to be. I don’t want to be in front of the camera. I only want to write, and one day direct like you. I have no desire to be an actress. I like being invisible so no one can see me.”

Beautiful by Danielle Steel - The Bashful Bookworm Book Review: Beautiful by Danielle Steel - The Bashful Bookworm

Beautiful is a great example of her style. A story about a famous French fashion model who is a victim of a dirty bomb explosion in an airport. She survives but is left with deep facial scars on the right side of her face. Her career as a model is over but she discovers that she is more than a face for others to enjoy looking at. Invisible is another contemporary fiction tale from prominent author Danielle Steel. A story of family, trauma, the past, distance, escape, perseverance, love, ambition and hope, Invisible is a novel of self-belief. One of the things I loved most about this book is that it’s about finding the inner strength to overcome physical and emotional challenges that seem completely insurmountable and coming out the other side as a stronger, whole person. Senior CIA agent Mike Andrews believes there’s something someone has missed on solving the crime and is brought in to investigate further. Many thanks to Delacorte Press | Penguin Random House for the opportunity to read Beautiful in advance of its April 19, 2022 publication.What about how many times she has to think about her poor deceased boyfriend who was a single child and his poor poor parents and what would they do without him. Again, I understand, and that is heartbreaking, but the repetition! It just gets eye rollingly annoying after the 54th time you hear it. But when a short break with her mother changes everything she holds dear, Veronique chooses a life of seclusion. In the end, this book is about the beauty of life. No matter how scarred a person may be inside or out, they are still beautiful. Life is beautiful. And life is worth living no matter what. Preston and Constance Whittier have built a happy life together with a brood of six children raised in a beautiful historic Manhattan mansion. Now, with a nearly empty nest, it’s easier than ever for the Whittiers to maintain their tradition of a solo romantic “wintermoon” ski trip.
