How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

4.0 out of 5 starsHighly emotional
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2021
A soul-searching revelation! Danielle Steel always makes us stop and think as we read about the emotions and situations of life that she weaves seamlessly into her characters and in THE AFFAIR, we're faced with more than one person's perspective when a torrid affair is revealed that tears a family apart at the seams and leaves emotions boiling over.

New York magazine maven Rose McCarthy is blindsided when the latest topic of gossip on a potential cover model brings to light the affair her son-in-law is dragging her youngest daughter through in Paris. She and her other three daughters quickly rally around to love and support Nadia through the whirlwind her life has become.

Nadia is hearing advice from every direction but all she can really feel right now is devastation as the man that she loves with all of her heart tells her he's torn between still loving her and his addiction to the young starlet currently carrying his child. She has two small children who adore their father and she doesn't know how to break their hearts ... or if she even should.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a drama filled read with lots of emotional upheavals and several supporting characters that lend volume to the overall story.

1.0 out of 5 starsNot worth the time or money.
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021
I struggled to get through this book. The writing is weak and terribly repetitive.
Disappointing in so many ways. I couldn't find a character I liked, believed or respected.
Save your $$. I wish I had.

It was great and as usual I couldn't put it down. Read it all the way through. It was heart warming, suspenful at times and even cold. Showed the importance and value of family. Provided numerous opportunities for young people to learn about some experiences that family have and resolve. I loved it and didn't want it to end.

I love Danielle Steel and I have read all of her books. I really loved this book, all of the characters were good. I wish Mrs Steel would write longer books like her past books like Zoya, the ring and Jewels. I love all of her books but her longer historic books are my favorite

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2021

Another one of Danielle’s great books. This is a book full of lost love, deception and how people can change. If love is strong enough people will stay together. This is written with a lot of detail about on family with 4 daughters. They, of course, have difficult situations to overcome which makes it a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2021

I enjoy a good DS story but I’m not sure if I enjoyed the ending to this one. I’m all for a happy ending but I feel like these last 2 novels (recently published ones) are just out of touch with what women today would truly put up with. I feel women are stronger then this. I’m not taking way from the well written story or the ability to get you to care about the characters I just find it short sighted for a modern woman.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing as usual

I love Danielle Steel’s storytelling. I think I have read everything she has written over the years. Rose’s family story grabbed me from the beginning. The relationship she has with each of her daughters and the relationship the sisters have warms my heart and tells the story. Each sister has their own life and own issues but they put it all aside to support one of their own. Definitely recommend you take the ride with Rose and her family, you will be glad you did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2021

The story was good, but things were quite repetitive throughout the book, sometimes in the very next paragraph. I would have liked to see more depth in the characters, too. It seemed unfinished and could have used a little more filling out. I had to check a couple times to be sure I was reading the author I thought I was. Nevertheless, I did like the overall story and don’t regret reading it

Danielle Steel has done it again and given us a great tale full of emotion, tears and most of all love. I don't usually read books with cheating but knowing this author I had hoped she would be sensitive to the subject. I loved every minute of it and didn't want it to end. Don't hesitate to read it if you are a fan of Danielle Steel.
