My love for Danielle Steele's writing began many years ago。 I read my first book by her and became an avid fan。 I began with The Promise。 I loved her style of writing as well as her subject matter。 Then I bought a paperback copy of Palomino which I still own today。 I read book after book as each new one was released。 I just finished Worthy Opponents， and I am grateful to Net Galley for the opportunity to preview this wonderful book。 The book is very aptly titled as Spencer and Mike find their tr My love for Danielle Steele's writing began many years ago。 I read my first book by her and became an avid fan。 I began with The Promise。 I loved her style of writing as well as her subject matter。 Then I bought a paperback copy of Palomino which I still own today。 I read book after book as each new one was released。 I just finished Worthy Opponents， and I am grateful to Net Galley for the opportunity to preview this wonderful book。 The book is very aptly titled as Spencer and Mike find their true worth as opponents and friends。 Spencer is a model of empowerment for every woman as she struggles to be everything to everyone in her hectic life。 The dance of life seems to be escaping her control when she meets Mike。 He is a powerful business man who intersects her life and wants to help her， but his help is offered at the expense of Spencer's family legacy and self-respect。 Through their interactions， Mike realizes that Spencer is not like his usual business opponents。 He finally discovers her true worth and says to her， "You're the life and soul of that store。" Once they've recognized the strengths they each possess， Spencer recalls what her grandfather used to tell her repeatedly， "Don't ever be afraid of change。" Change takes courage， and while it closes some doors， it often opens the most amazing opportunities of one's life！ Thank you Ms。 Steele for writing so many beautifully amazing books in your career。 I'm honored to be one of your biggest fans and I highly recommend this beautiful and courageous story！ 。。。more

Worthy Opponents is yet another amazing Danielle Steel novel 。 Spencer is a successful store owner who prides herself in following her grandfather’s values and knowledge about how a business should be 。 Mike is a successful businessman that would love to learn more about Spencer’s store as he hears only good things about it。 This story draws us into the struggles of family values and learning when to stick to your guns and when it’s time to make much needed changes in business and life。 Thank Worthy Opponents is yet another amazing Danielle Steel novel 。 Spencer is a successful store owner who prides herself in following her grandfather’s values and knowledge about how a business should be 。 Mike is a successful businessman that would love to learn more about Spencer’s store as he hears only good things about it。 This story draws us into the struggles of family values and learning when to stick to your guns and when it’s time to make much needed changes in business and life。 Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for a copy for my honest opinion。 。。。more

I am always amazed at the abundance of different stories Danielle Steel writes。 Her historical fiction books are my favorite。 That being said， this book was like coming home and reading a really comfortable book。 I didn't love it， but loved the characters and cared what happened to them。 Not as much romance in this story， but one of family， tradition， dedication and lots of hard work。 As always， I am so happy to be able to read a book by Danielle Steel！ I am always amazed at the abundance of different stories Danielle Steel writes。 Her historical fiction books are my favorite。 That being said， this book was like coming home and reading a really comfortable book。 I didn't love it， but loved the characters and cared what happened to them。 Not as much romance in this story， but one of family， tradition， dedication and lots of hard work。 As always， I am so happy to be able to read a book by Danielle Steel！ 。。。more
