Summary
Theodora Morgan is fashion royalty。 Founder of a wildly popular online shopping service， she is one of the most successful businesswomen in the world， although she prefers to keep a low profile， especially over the last months。 It was a year ago when the unthinkable struck her family， and her husband， industry mogul Matthieu Pasquier， and their son were kidnapped and held for ransom—a nightmare that ended in tragedy。
The case has gone cold， despite evidence linking the crime to Matthieu’s Russian competitors。 Theo has reluctantly gone back to work running her company。 On the flight to a launch party for one of her highly anticipated pop-up shops in New York City， she crosses paths with high-society networker Pierre de Vaumont。 Theo politely invites him to her event—unaware that Pierre has been flagged by the CIA。
Senior supervising CIA operative Mike Andrews investigates Pierre’s suspicious Russian contacts and clears him to enter the country， but when he realizes that Theodora Morgan is on the same flight， he becomes concerned for her safety。 Posing as a lawyer， Mike begins a covert mission—starting with Theo’s opening party。 When Mike and Theo meet， their connection is instant， but Theo is completely unaware of Mike’s true objective or identity… or that the life she is rebuilding is in grave danger。

“Theo’s life had been altered forever， in ways that could never be repaired or replaced。”When Theodora Morgan finds herself on a flight with a CIA person of interest， she meets Mike Andrews。 Mike fears Theo may be in danger， and engineers a “chance” meeting。 The two have an instant connection that neither one can avoid。This was a interesting story that kept me turning the page。 Theo is a strong， resilient and complex character。 The plot was interesting and moved along at a good pace。 Thank you M “Theo’s life had been altered forever， in ways that could never be repaired or replaced。”When Theodora Morgan finds herself on a flight with a CIA person of interest， she meets Mike Andrews。 Mike fears Theo may be in danger， and engineers a “chance” meeting。 The two have an instant connection that neither one can avoid。This was a interesting story that kept me turning the page。 Theo is a strong， resilient and complex character。 The plot was interesting and moved along at a good pace。 Thank you Ms。 Steel， NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine， Delacorte Press for the opportunity to review this advanced readers copy。 #Suspects #Netgalley 。。。more

This book started a bit slow for me， but in typical Danielle Steel style once it picked up， I couldn’t put it down。 So much more than a love story， this book had me on the edge of my seat。 There were numerous twists so I could never fully guess what would happen next。

I haven't read a Danielle Steel book in years and when I saw this one available to read early， I jumped at the chance。 I thoroughly enjoyed Suspects and was pleasantly surprised at the suspenseful story of the book。 The book centers around Theo Morgan， a very well known retail fashion designer。 She sets up pop-up shops all over and sells the most sought after fashion designs。 She is extremely successful， but has to overcome a terrible tragedy。 One year ago as the book starts， Theo's husband and I haven't read a Danielle Steel book in years and when I saw this one available to read early， I jumped at the chance。 I thoroughly enjoyed Suspects and was pleasantly surprised at the suspenseful story of the book。 The book centers around Theo Morgan， a very well known retail fashion designer。 She sets up pop-up shops all over and sells the most sought after fashion designs。 She is extremely successful， but has to overcome a terrible tragedy。 One year ago as the book starts， Theo's husband and 13 year old son were kidnapped。 There was a ransom demand that Theo could easily have paid， but the authorities wanted more time to try to solve the case。 It ended in tragedy with the kidnappers killing her husband and son。 Theo was and still is devastated as the book begins。 She's basically been a hermit for an entire year， not feeling confident enough to go out。 She's been running her business remotely and now she's also running her husband's business。 She lives in Paris， but travels to New York， Los Angeles， Texas， etc setting up her pop-up shops for short periods。 On one of her trips to New York to prepare a rented building for her fashions， a CIA agent， Mike Andrews， notices someone shady in first class on the same plane as Theo。 He knows her story and also knows that the people responsible for Theo's husband and son's death were never caught。 He calls several people he knows in law enforcement both in Paris and New York to check on this shady fellow。 The plane has been held until they have checked out if they will be allowed to land in New York。 They get clearance， but Mike decides he will check in on Theo once she arrives to make sure all is okay。When Mike and Theo meet， it's an instant connection that they both feel。 Mike tells Theo he's a lawyer who wants to buy his sister one of her purses。 He doesn't want to alarm Theo and tell her he's CIA。 They exchange numbers and end up meeting for dinner while she's in town。 The chemistry and sparks fly from these two and you'll love reading about all of their meals， trips， and their "time together" if you catch my drift。 As all of this is going on， the people that killed her family are still out there and now they want payback for not getting all of the ransom。 Will they be able to get through Theo's security team to kidnap/kill her？ Will Mike be able to protect Theo？ I read this book in a day as it's a very quick read that you can't put down。 Be sure to pick this book up on June 28th。 I'd like to thank NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine for an advanced copy of Suspects。 。。。more

I made quick work of this one。 Suspects is a novel of high stakes。 Theo， a mogul in the fashion industry， lost her son and husband due to a kidnapping。 Mike is a CIA big wig who is determined to protect Theo。There’s lots of action， fashion， and love。Settle in with a DS novel and the world recess for awhile。Thanks to Random House and NetGalley for the advance copy。

Danielle Steel books have always been my go-to relaxing reads。 This one is no different。 The beginning started a little slow， I wasn’t sure who the main character were supposed to be。 But as I read on it got better and better。 Great poolside read - and yes I actually did read it by the pool while the kids played！ Can’t wait to see what comes next from Danielle Steel！This review is based on an ARC from NetGalley， courtesy of the publisher。 All opinions are my own。

Danielle Steel never disappoints， and her novel Suspects is no exception。 A little mix of murder， government intelligence and romance。
