Re-opening week for the luxurious Hotel Louis XVI was fraught with "complications"。 These complications led to the entwining stories of 5 guests of the hotel, and we get a glimpse into staff life as well。One guest is being blackmailed because he is a public official and having hidden homosexual affairs。 Another guest is in Paris to meet with an oncologist。 Another is there for an art exhibit。 Two others, recent divorcees, are traveling together for the first time since they've been able to publi Re-opening week for the luxurious Hotel Louis XVI was fraught with "complications"。 These complications led to the entwining stories of 5 guests of the hotel, and we get a glimpse into staff life as well。One guest is being blackmailed because he is a public official and having hidden homosexual affairs。 Another guest is in Paris to meet with an oncologist。 Another is there for an art exhibit。 Two others, recent divorcees, are traveling together for the first time since they've been able to publicly be a couple。 One night, a perfect storm of complications arose, between hotel equipment malfunctions, a potentially deadly heart problem and an accidental death all come together, uniting the guests in a way no one expected。 And what happens to them after?I won't do spoilers, so you'll have to read for yourself who experiences which of these complications, and how their lives wind up meshing together。 It was an easy read, as most of this author's books are, but enjoyable。Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own。 。。。more

What will happen after the guest starts checking into the hotel and the problems and drama occur?

One thing is for sure。。。the reader will be drawn into the world of this 'Parisian Hotel' as the secrets with all of its drama start coming out。 So be prepared for 'love, friendships, loss of life, overcoming trauma, and drama。' To get it all, you will have to pick up "Complications' to see how well this author will bring it all out to the reader giving them one heck of a good read。 Paris, London, and even New York were extensively detailed, including well-defined characters with an intriguing storyline。 I was provided a free advance reader copy from Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine Books in exchange for my honest review on Net Galley。 。。。more

I will always read Danielle Steel books, they are great for escaping from reality for awhile。 This one was no different。 Five guests stay at an exclusive Paris hotel, Louis XVI just after its reopening, all having different experiences during their stay。 The story follows each of them through the conclusion of each of their stories throughout the year。 It's a little confusing at times because it jumps from guest to guest to continue their story, but it's pretty easy to continue on with the story I will always read Danielle Steel books, they are great for escaping from reality for awhile。 This one was no different。 Five guests stay at an exclusive Paris hotel, Louis XVI just after its reopening, all having different experiences during their stay。 The story follows each of them through the conclusion of each of their stories throughout the year。 It's a little confusing at times because it jumps from guest to guest to continue their story, but it's pretty easy to continue on with the story line。 I think my favorite guest has to be Gabrielle, a strong woman who is dealing with a cheating husband who is now her ex。 I love stories where the woman are strong and stand up for themselves。 All in all a great summer read!This review is based on an ARC from NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

I rediscovered Danielle Steel about 2 years ago and her books are always a great escape。 Complications is set at a posh hotel located in France。 It is not her best work and reads more like an episode of the old television show "Hotel"。 The story centers around five characters whose lives intersect at the hotel。 The characters include a troubled French minister, a British doctor, an American woman who is recently divorced and a couple about to get married。 In typical Danielle Steel fashion, the c I rediscovered Danielle Steel about 2 years ago and her books are always a great escape。 Complications is set at a posh hotel located in France。 It is not her best work and reads more like an episode of the old television show "Hotel"。 The story centers around five characters whose lives intersect at the hotel。 The characters include a troubled French minister, a British doctor, an American woman who is recently divorced and a couple about to get married。 In typical Danielle Steel fashion, the character go through trials and tribulations in order to find happiness。 Most definitely, a good summer read!

I've read just about all of Danielle Steel's books and this one was not one of my favorites。 There are 3 main stories that spawn off from people staying at an exclusive hotel。 Then there is also a bit of info on the present managers of the hotel。 It was an easy read that I finished in 2 days but the story dragged on。 There was too much information about Gabrielle's former husband。 Who cares what he is doing with his new wife?

Initially, I was going to give this two stars, but in all honesty, it was a total waste of my time。 There was just SO much to not like about this book。 In the beginning, it appears to be about five different lives - Gabrielle, newly divorced。 Alastair, a man with a secret。 Patrick, a French politician, and Judythe and Richard, an American couple。 Their lives intersect (sort of) one evening in a hotel in Paris。 But after that night, it really was just a story about Gabrielle and Alastair, with sm Initially, I was going to give this two stars, but in all honesty, it was a total waste of my time。 There was just SO much to not like about this book。 In the beginning, it appears to be about five different lives - Gabrielle, newly divorced。 Alastair, a man with a secret。 Patrick, a French politician, and Judythe and Richard, an American couple。 Their lives intersect (sort of) one evening in a hotel in Paris。 But after that night, it really was just a story about Gabrielle and Alastair, with smatterings of details about the other three characters thrown in randomly。 I hated the way Gabrielle's past was scattered throughout the book (she's the only character that got any sort of back history explained about her)。 I hated that Patrick, Richard and Judythe (stupid way to spell her name) were largely ignored through most of the book; it was a short book - there was plenty of room to develop these characters further。 I was indifferent to the characters since I knew so little about any of them 。 And I'm being petty at this point, but I hated the way the word "complicated" was used over and over (and OVER) again。 There was SO much potential here, not only with the 5 main characters but with a few of the minor characters as well。 It could have been a decent book with some interesting storylines and characters。 But it really just felt like the author had bits and pieces of the book completed, realized that her deadline had come, and threw it all together haphazardly to create a glaringly incomplete book。 I normally enjoy Danielle Steel's books, so this review is really out of character for me。 If you've never read one of her books before, stay away from this one; it's not a good example of her work。 And if you're a fan of hers, please don't bother!

I love Danielle Steel, so reading this was exciting。 Absolutely loved it。 Would definitely recommend this book to anyone。
Julia Richardson,
What a wonderful story of a group people who happen to be at the same posh hotel at the same time! When faced with a crisis, several of the strangers work together and end up becoming close。 This story started out slowly, while Steele is building the background of each character。 However, the pace quickly changes as the relationships deepen。 Really enjoyed this one!
Trisha,
Really enjoyed this one。 One of her better books of late。 Got into the characters and their storylines very easily。 Was easy to follow them on their journey and liked how they all tied in to the same hotel。 I hope to read more books like this one from Danielle Steel。 Reminded me of her earlier writings。 Thank you #netgalley for letting me read!

With a setting in a spectacular hotel, these 3 intertwined life stories make for a compelling read! The descriptions of the luxurious accommodations and different lifestyles of its patrons kept me turning the pages quickly!
