Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
A long-planned vacation in St. Tropez goes wrong in any number of ways in this latest platinum-frosted amusement by Steel. Three pairs of friends in their 50s and 60s decide to spend a month together in the south of France, but before the trip, tragedy strikes two of the couples. Judge Robert Smith loses his beloved wife, Anne, and Diana Morrison discovers that her obstetrician husband, Eric, is having an affair with a much younger patient, though Diana's "minor cosmetic surgery... had knocked ten years off her age." John Donnally, an irascible investment banker, and his French wife, Pascale, a former ballerina, try to do what they can to keep everyone's spirits up. The friends eventually convene in St. Tropez, but the house that looked so perfect in the marketing photos is far from what they expected, and it takes Herculean effort by Pascale and the eccentric caretakers to get it up to snuff. Robert has a new love interest visit, though it is only seven months since his wife's death, and she, to the chagrin of the ladies, is an actress many years his junior. Will the friends' relationship survive these changes? The answer is a foregone conclusion, and the frills and froth of the packaging can't quite conceal the silliness of some of the goings-on, but Steel fans will lap this up.

From Library Journal
When Robert Smith's wife dies, some longtime friends decide to spirit him away for a little vacation. They just didn't expect the villa they rented to be such a dump and that Robert would arrive with a gorgeous young film star in tow.

How did this get published?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sunset in St. Tropez (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading this book, I am pretty sure that this woman gets her work published just because "Danielle Steel" will be on the cover which means some following of hers will automatically purchase it. I am serious when I say it was predictable and painful to read. I am totally turned off and will NEVER read another one of Steel's boring novels.

I personally liked it!,

This review is from: Sunset in St. Tropez (Hardcover)
I haven't seen such a book with mixed reviews such as this one, so I decided to throw my two cents in for what it is worth. The book follows Danielle Steels usual upper class romance with "famous" characters and plentiful wealth. I enjoyed this book and found it quite humorous and touching. Steel's formulaic characters are starting to get a little old, and I believe she should try something new.

A Joyful Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sunset in St. Tropez (Mass Market Paperback)
I truly loved reading this book. I have heard so much about Danielle Steel books and thought I would give it a try with this book and it was a complete joy to read... It was so quick and easy to read I loved the characters it would be wonderful to see if there is a follow up to this book to see what happens after pascale has her baby.... I will never forget this book I think this book is going to make me a big fan of Danielle Steel for years to come... Only takes a day or two to read it and find out if you are going to enjoy the wonderful writing style of a wonderful lady...
