Typical Danielle Steel book. Sad past, meet someone in similar situation. Fall in love and live happily ever after!
Easy read, not very exciting.

If your idea of a heartwarming tale is one of a love story contrasted with a terrorist attack that “rivals 9/11”, this book is for you.
lighthearted

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy. This was a pretty typical DS book. Tragic event, everyone falls in love, lots of repeating itself.

A quick easy read. After a challenging book, something fluffy was called for. But it was predictable, not really any depth, and totally unrelatable. I wish there was a bit more showing, than telling, but all typical DS story characteristics.

This was a great book! Not your usual Danielle Steele - this was a gripping page-turner that I read in one day! The characters are very real, and I enjoyed getting to know them immensely. The main character, New York City, is a wonderful center to the lives of our characters, all women of different ages (20, 40 and 60), and how they navigate loss, life and love. You will really enjoy this novel.

Never Too Late By Danielle Steel. Stars: 4 x 5
I need to start out by saying how much I love Danielle Steel and her books.

Kezia Cooper a Nurse Practitioner had a wondrous husband named Andrew. Andrew died about 5 years ago. Kezia decides it is time to move one and she decides to move to NYC from San Francisco. NYC is where her two grown daughter live. Kenzie also has a 60th birthday coming up which is why she decided to make this move. Kezie decides it is time to find happiness again. Kezie finds a great apartment penthouse and she also finds that recluse movie star Sam Stewart lives in the other Penthouse and that they share a terrace. As time goes by Kezia gets to know Sam and his son plus she has been doing a real good job about reconnecting with her daughters, Katie and Felicity. Katie is the eldest and she is trying to write a book. Katie also has daddy issue as her biological father is a doctor with Doctor’s Without Boarders and has been gone since she was about 12. Andrew adored Katie when he married Kezie and he was a wonderful father to her. Katie’s boyfriend is Jack annd he is 42 years old. Kezia doesn’t really care for Jack as she thinks she is just using her for her money. Everyone worries about Kezia’s youngest who is Felicity and she is 23 years old. Felicity is a model and has a boyfriend Blake, who is a bit older than her at the ripe old age of 39. Blake has a 6 year old son.

Kezia had Katie when she was in college. She did not marry Katie’s father but he was there to help with Katie when Kezia was in Nurse Practionier school. Kate feels that her biological father did not want her. Kezia met Andrew at a medical conference in San Francisco. After six months they were married. Andrews adopted Katie and then Andrew and Kezia had Felicity. Andrew thought of Katie as his own. When he died he left each of them 1/3 of his estate. Sam had lost his wife two years ago and has been a recluse since.

Fourth of July, Kezia is watching the fireworks from her terrace when an attack happens in New York. She can see what happened and is thankful both of her girls are out of the country. Sam who also happened who to be watching from his side of the terrace goes over and checks on Kezia. After a while they decide to head down to see how they can help. They work throughout the night helping with the injured etc. This bonds Sam and Kezia and they start to become friends and then more. Remember the title “Never too Late”. This exactly what happens with Sam and Kezia they were both broken and now they are loving and healing together. They are getting a second chance at life together. I loved this book. I loved that it was and older woman and man as the main characters. Once again Danielle Steel writes a wonderful book!
