As someone who can only read Danielle Steele once a year, I found this book a good summer read. Its quick, not too involved and just enough romance to keep your interest. The main character although suffering some of life's heartaches isn't bombarded with them like many of Steele's other leading characters. I also liked the touch of history throughout the book because you know how that's going to work out. What Steele does nicely in this book is that she keeps you guessing as to how the true facts will impact on the lives of the main characters. All in all if you're planning to sit by the pool or beach, you won't be disappointed.

I have read all of MHC's books. This one just didn't have the heart pounding suspense that I have come to expect from her books. Here the plot was okay. The characters are okay. The end was okay. That all I can say -- it was just okay.

The first three chapters were funny. It trails off and becomes boring. If you are going to read this book borrow a friend's. This is from a true Grisham fan.
