Danielle Steel is my favorite author and I have read a lot of her books. Although, it was predictable, is still was a page turner. If you like romantic hollywood novels this book is for you. You will read about, Jane, a woman who realizes she is married to a horny drunk, Zachory, who hasn't been with a woman in years; Bill, who is secretly married to a former actress who is now a drug addict; Gabrielle, who is not what she seems; and Sabina, the famous movie actor who seems like perfection to everyone around her but in the end she like everyone else is hiding her own secret.
AMAZON.COM READER'S REVIEW
Danielle Steel's "Secrets" is a story that focusses on several people who all want to succeed in the Hollywood movie industry. These people are all very different but they have this same ambition in common and also the fact that they are all involved in a new TV series that everyone is convinced will take the world by storm.
"Secrets" is a story about what people will sacrifice for Hollywood and the lies that they will tell to further their own careers in the movie industry.
This book kept entertained to the end. If you like surprises and romance this book is for you. All the characters are so different and yet they come together. I recommend this book for any one like twists and turns you didn't see coming. I gave this book a 5 star because I could not put it down.
Sex, secrets, scandal all abound in this Hollywood romance. The story is about a top television series called MANHATTAN (those that remember DALLAS will see some similarity here). This is a fast paced story with a little mystery and mayhem thrown in too. Not a five star romance, but not bad at all. You might even manage a little heavy breathing in places! Lots of insider details of how television movies are produced. Beautiful clothes, gorgeous women and hot leading men.
Secrets is the drama behind the creation of Manhattan, a first-of-its-kind prime-time tv series. Tempered by tragedy, seasoned by success.
Sabina Quarles at forty-five has managed to maintain -- by a diet of spunk and surgery -- the body of an eighteen year old. Tough, spirited, and self-sufficient, she has survived twenty years in Hollywood, never marrying, never quite succeeding, never deigning to work in television. Yet Manhattan may bring her both the stardom she craves -- and the security her very special needs require.
Jane Adams is an earthy thirty-nine year old beauty. Devoted to her children, dominated by her abusive and violent husband. Forced to choose between her marriage and her acting career, Jane may find that her role in Manhattan has cost her everything that matters most.
Zack Taylor, the leading man, is a paragon of professionalism. Yet beyond the smooth good looks, the easy warmth, and the slick charm of the eligible bachelor, he remains an enigma.
Gabrielle Thornton-Smith, the charming ingenue, seems to have appeared out of the blue. Beautiful, talented, and on the brink of success at twenty-five, what can she have to hide?
Bill Warwick, plucked from the ranks of struggling young actors, is now slated to be the nation's new heartthrob. But he has lied about one issue in his background. Not only will Bill's future hang in the balance, but the success of the whole series may be jeopardized when he is forced publicly to confront the consequences of his little white lie.
Secrets goes behind the scenes into the making of a major TV series. Probing even deeper beneath the polished surfaces, exploring the dilemmas both men and women, in and out of the searchlight of the media, confront today.
steel is the best all of her books are good.
