I was not expecting this ending! I was not feeling the middle parts of the book but the ending saved it. Good first Danielle Steele!
emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced

This book was written under two different titles. I think one for the UK release and the other for the US (not 100% on this). Pretty unrealistic. Although her romance stories are fun to read I am sick of all the money that seems to surround all her characters.

Passion's Promise by Danielle Steel
Lots of action and different lifestyles. Some are together as just friends, but dedicated friends and they see others. he other males, her other males.
She is a heiress and hides that. She hides her identity with 5 different aliases, by writing columns and only a handful know who she is. She takes the assignment to interview Lucas-he's out of prison now but the CA dept could put him back.
He's on a goal to fix the prison system and aided those on the inside to form a union of sorts to get their rights. Now that he's on the outside he can do more...
Unthinkable things happen and you wonder if their love for one another will last....
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

I liked this book but it isn't my favorite one of hers. It isn't my least favorite either. That was taken up by Friends Forever. This book took me a while to get into but once I did I was invested and cared about the characters. The ending left a lot to be desired for me. It makes the reader imagine their own HEA. It could of gone one of two or three ways when I think about it and that drives me nuts. I hate it when there are unanswered questions at the end of a book unless it has sequel where they will be answered. Over all this book is a great read but I couldn't give it a 5 due to what I stated above.
I am glad that I agreed to read it as a buddy read none the less. I hope she will like it a lot too. I love this author and will continue to read through all the books I have not read yet and enjoy some of the ones I have read again too. Happy reading!

"Smart, beautiful, and very rich, Kezia Saint Martin leads two lives: one as a glamorous socialite jetting between the poshest places in Europe and America; the other, under a false name, as a dicated journalist committed to justice and her profession.

But the two worlds are pulling her apart, leaving her conflicted about her identity and the lies she tells to every man she meets. Then she meets Lucas Johns, a bold, dynamic crusader for social change--and an ex-con. Their attraction is immediate, but their love may be just one step from tragedy at any time" (From Amazon)

Originally when I read Danielle Steel novels I would have rated them 3-4 STARS, but now I would classify them as 1-2 STARS. These are great for those who like mild sex, unrealistic dramatic romances and grand plots.
