The author has tried to show to the reader the angst, doubts and loneliness of Hope in a successful way. How, despite loving Finn, she must move on and do what needs to be done. The problem i see is that the story is perhaps a l This is the first Danielle Steel book I read and I liked it. The problem i see is that the story is perhaps a little too predictable. Since we meet Finn it's easy to guess where the things are going and what will happen at the end. Jun 08, Kathy rated it did not like it. From the time Finn arrives unannounced on Hope's doorstep, I could see this would not end well.

One question repeatedly came to my mind while reading this book: Why can this 44 year old woman not see the obvious red flags?! I laughed while reading the last forty pages or so because 1 the plot and characters had become so outlandish it was comical and 2 I was imagining how I would react to Finn if I were in Hope's situation-it would have gone a completely different way not that I would be so bl From the time Finn arrives unannounced on Hope's doorstep, I could see this would not end well.

Jul 11, Debbie rated it it was ok Shelves: Inperfect but beautiful and rich heroine, with a pure heart; bad guy whom she falls in love with but he turns out to be a loser won't say more, as it would give away the story , and in the end, she finds a good guy to love. Just once, can't she write about women who aren't beautiful, don't have money, don't have great jobs, and have to deal with banalities such as health insurance, being overweight and making car payments? Aug 06, Megan Birch rated it really liked it. Great book which was well written and had a lovely storyline to it but there were a few sad, emotional parts in it.

Het boek kon mij in het begin niet bekoren. Het duurde lang voor ik in het verhaal geraakte. Maar eens Finn zen klauwen in Hope zette kon ik het boek nog moeilijk weg leggen. Het einde laat je ook zien dat je verleden u toekomst niet moet bepalen. Jun 22, Samolakisses rated it did not like it Shelves: This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

It's hard to relate to her characters because they're not really that human. They're these flawless people that have done nothing wrong in their lives except have tragedies happen to them left and right and usually make people feel sorry for the First of all, anyone who reads a Danielle Steel novel knows the drill: They're these flawless people that have done nothing wrong in their lives except have tragedies happen to them left and right and usually make people feel sorry for them. That's another premise of the story. I can actually see how the sociopath, Finn, can sink his hooks into Hope and keep her there with him--only during the reading of the book I was so frustrated not to mention the fact that I found it hard to even feel anything for this character that I either wanted her to get killed by the guy or just call her stupid and throw the book across the room.

A lot of the material is repetitive in the novel. Finn's lies and horrible actions are mentioned so many times in the book you wonder how and why does Hope put up with it. But here are some reasons why Hope looks really stupid in this book: Not only would that have 1 person set for life, but it could have your kids and grandkids set if handled properly. Gosh, and I wonder why anyone would want to marry her I'm not belittling abusive situations in any way. But usually when people stay in them they have financial hurdles or there are kids involved, not just strong hormones and the memories of how the abuser USED to be.

I've heard so many stories of women in abusive situations that as soon as they scraped up chump change they high tailed it on a bus and got out of there. But not this idiot. Oooohhhhh, and I didn't even mention the fact that after she finds out that this guy lied about his entire history the only thing he told the truth about was his name she still wanted to be with him.

So it's hard to feel bad for her at all. Any writer would want their characters to be brave in the face of adversity and intelligent on how to overcome it.

Steele Her Heart (Project Steele: Book One)

Yes, people can be paralyzed by fear, but there's a difference between fear and lacking common sense. There's something to be said about someone who would create a character as dumb as this Apr 09, Kim rated it it was ok. A couple months ago, it finally happened: I went on my first blind date with a book. I'd heard about the practice a couple years ago and longingly bided my time until it caught on at my local library.

True to the essence of a blind date, the packaging on the book I could chose was delightfully cryptic: Fiction--Women photographers, authors, Irish-Americans. I'm not usually one for romance novels--but, hey, I've learned you never judge a book by its cover image, title, or font selection. After all, this was a blind date! The book date started out pretty typical. Forty-something divorcee meets forty-something widower and they hit it off. And just in case you fall asleep while reading which I managed to do something like 47 times , the author, Danielle Steel, conveniently reminds you of the woman's violet eyes and the man's blond hair every few pages, along with several other odd details that never add up to anything.

Things dragged on and on and I realized this was fast becoming the longest blind date of my existence--but then things got weird. As in, psychotic weird. And--despite entire pages dedicated to one sentence rephrased 25 different ways, minimal descriptions about things you want to know more about, ultra-detailed descriptions about things you don't care about see: To be honest, I'm not sure I'll ever take the author out again.

Jan 20, Angela rated it did not like it. I am reluctant to admit I read this book, but it was for a "There are no bad books, only bad book clubs book club" at work. Which was started based on a dare. Previously, I only thought that Danielle Steel wrote steaming piles of crap. Now I have definitive proof that she is a terrible author who writes terrible books.

Hope is a middle aged, successful, famous, rich person.

Up until the point in time where this novel picks up, she was described as She didn't make ridiculous and irrational decisions for the first 44 years of her life. Somehow, just by meeting this creature, she is magically transformed into a complete idiot. Spoiler alert - I can sum up this page book in one sentence: Hope is a moron and Finn is a jerk.

There, I just saved you hours of your life. I just wish I could get them back myself. View all 3 comments. This was my first Danielle Steel novel, and overall, I found it disappointing. I got the impression it was quickly, and not carefully written, not well-edited, repetitive, slow, and simplistic. Matters of concern are so overly-explained that it speaks down to those of us who are still awake. I agree with reviewers here that are frustrated with DS's 'tell-it rather than show-it' style. On the positive side however, 2 points are worth mentioning.

First, the action speeds up nicely for a while at t This was my first Danielle Steel novel, and overall, I found it disappointing. First, the action speeds up nicely for a while at the climax, for an interesting change of pace. Second, I appreciate the subject matter chosen by the author, and I think that she was able to successfully portray how a sociopath can exert a powerful influence over otherwise intelligent people of either sex, to string them along through an emotional nightmare. While I did learn something new, I didn't enjoy the writing style, and I don't expect that I will turn to Danielle Steel's work too frequently.

Oct 16, Diane rated it it was ok. When Danielle Steel first starting writing, I thought her books were great. In the last few years, she's started cranking them out so fast she's lost all creative writing skills. I read this is about 4 hours By the end of her books, she's sort of back to telling a story that has some content, but I think this will be her last I read. Jul 06, Christine rated it did not like it. This writing of the book was quite redundant. I really couldn't identify with the main character in this one and by the end, I couldn't believe the storyline.

How a smart sucessful woman would fall for all of the lies without so much as a blink is beyond me. I want to believe that I would ahve seen that guy coming from a mile away. This was my first novel after a very long reading hiatus and I was not impressed. I'll find another author to go to next. You have to read this!!!!!! Without doubt, one of the very best of Danielle Steele!

Hope was SO much more kind, trusting and gentle than anyone I have known, but that becomes her strength!!!! What a delicious plot!!! She broke the mol dc on this one!!!!! Jun 27, Sherryl rated it it was ok.

See a Problem?

I know I say this in every review, but this was yet another Danielle Steel novel. This one did bring out some anger in me and the ending, while predictable, was dissapointing. What ever happend to Finn?? I am all about seeking revenge!!! Justin, the oldest of the Lane brothers and the wildest , was finally home. It helps my fingers fly over the keys and remarkably I type and make sense.

Of course, getting up and walking afterwards, not recommended. Let me introduce you to my bad boy billionaire, Wade Barfield. But this billionaire has a bad side, one that many women have tried to tame, but g. A reader asked me one day why most of my characters, well the females drink wine. I drink red wine, white wine, sweet wine, dry wine, did I say I like wine… For my male characters, they mostly drink whiskey, scotch or bourbon. My newest series has bourbon in the name.

The Adventure has begun…. The big release was yesterday! This book was an adventure in an adventure. I ventured into new territory with this one. Well, you take a leap and see where it takes you. Together they tame the fire that once burned them! But in the taming, comes healing of the soul. Pre-orders up and going…. My schedule is full of upcoming releases all the way through April So this busy romance writer is stepping up to the plate.

Believe me the heat in these books will have you fanning for weeks after you read them. Popularity Popularity Featured Price: Low to High Price: High to Low Avg. Available for download now.
