A tragically sad story but riveting. It was the strong friendships that developed during loneliness and grief that had me captivated. The little girl just tugged at the heart and the hero's steady patience was so endearing. Lonely 11-year-old Pip finds a friend on the beach in artist Matt during a summer when her mother Ophelie is suffering from serious depression.
Decided I should finally read Steele since she sells so many damn books. Main takeaway here is: why? Nothing happens in the first half and mostly nothing happens in the second half. I was treated to endless descriptions of people painting on the beach and having dinner out. Wasn’t enough romance and wasn’t enough suspense. Also, women are either submissive or if they are more purposeful, they are punished for their actions (cancer, being shot). Steele ain’t no feminist. Also, Matt’s obsession wi...
Normally I do not read Daniel Steel, but was low on my normal mystery novels, picked this one up on a whim after reading the cover page. I really did enjoy this book, I rarely ever read romance novels, because I feel if you read one you have read them all. Man meets woman, they have one torrid sexual encounter after the next, someone is jealous, someone wants to run, then all ends well with a wedding. But, after reading this one, I just may give Ms. Steel another read.
Very good story.I don't read much romance book, but I like Danielle Steel books.It's not romance book, I'd rather call "Love Story" Love of family, husband and wife, friends and men & women. I know it's slow pace, but this slow building brings good sensitivity.Sadness and happiness combined well.I like it!
When I started reading this book, I found myself rolling my eyes a lot. 'Here we go again' I thought. Steel is going to repeat things for us, just to make sure we get it. She even used the same sentence on two pages next to each other! Oh and also, why is the dog on the front cover not a chocolate lab? I was also really sceptical of the story. Matt and Pip meet on the beach, bear in mind that Matt is an adult and Pip is a child. And they have this amazing connection and feel like they've always...
Fabulous read. Life can change with the walk on the beach. A chance meeting with an artist, a little girl and her dog. About relationships,family bonds, infidelity,friendship and a second chance at happiness. LOVED this book.
Grandma really wanted me to read Safe Harbor so I gave it a chance and sped through the pages. It was romantic and cute mixed with a betrayal that I couldn't believe. I really loved this and wouldn't mind reading more of Danielle Steel and author I judged as writing 'old lady books' but nope she writes amazing love stories just like Nicholas Sparks
One of Damielle Steel Best novel. I used to read her novel in French. It is my first time in english. My lovely friend encouraged me to try it .and I am happy that I accepted it. I love this paragraph which concluded the moral of this adorable novel❤she looked back at him and their eyes met and held. It had been remarkable good fortune that had brought them together. But it had taken more than luck and happy accidents or even love. It had taken wisdom and courage to put their lives back together...
Really liked the book,how the characters start the healing and find friendship through such tragedy n lonelinessTed Mackenzie and his bi-polar son Chad were killed in a plane crash nine months ago. Left behind to pick up the pieces are Ted's wife Ophelie and daughter Pip. Ophelie is in a severe depression and can hardly take care of Pip except for the basics. Ophelie leases a house at Safe Harbour for the summer and while there Pip befriends artist and recluse Matt Bowles. They become fast frien...
A bit predictable and cheesy at times but overall very enjoyable and touching story. I highly enjoyed it :D
This is not the kind of book I would normally read but I found the ‘blurb’ quite intriguing.The start of the book was quite slow and low key, but it really grabbed me and I was desperate to find out more about the enigmatic Pip. The story then developed into a romance between Mat and Ophelie and a sort of family drama.The book is generally well written, but I did think the author often went over the same ground several times before moving on, on several occasions this became quite tedious. I als...
I have not read a Steel book in probably 15 years. At one time I had her complete collection and gave them away when I moved from Canada to US . I really enjoyed this story . It was beautifully written and the romance and tragedies were placed strategically well. I know many say the plots are predictable and yes , it is somewhat but still I almost , almost shed a tear with this one . The last book I cried about was 11 years ago when I read a book to my 10 year old son. I cried only because he di...
