Customer Reviews

I've been skeptical of Danielle Steel all my reading life. After all, she seems to release new books like how some people dish out business cards! I didn't pick up this book until a friend ranted and raved about it. Well, this book made me a fan. My first DS book and she won me over. This book just got me by the heart and clamped on it. Wow, this is a wonderful book and I'd recommend it to anyone, especially anyone who's weary of Daniel Steel. I love the story of Nancy and Michael from page 1 and I was glued to the pages till the very end. And I loved the ending, tears just sprung up and rolled down my cheeks. I read the ending 5 times and wished it didn't end.This is a truly a masterpiece.

Most of Danielle Steel's books are schlocky and clumsily written. However, I read them anyway. I read this book over 25 years ago and loved it. It was my first ever romance novel, and I read it from cover to cover in one night. Since then, I've read hundreds of romances, and I can accuse Steel of creating my romance addiction. Her earlier longer length books are much better than the novellas she dashes off now. Along with The Promise, I recommend Palomino, Thurston House, The Ring, and Family Album.
Other romance writers that I think are ten times better are: Amanda Quick (AKA Jayne Ann Krentz), Susan Elizabeth Phillips, LaVyrle Spencer, Katherine Sutcliffe, Sandra Brown, Laura Kinsale, Jill Marie Landis, Judith McNaught, Fern Michaels, etc.
