Helpful Score: 2
I enjoyed this book very much - it's about three bachelors - Charlie Harrington, Adam Weiss and Gray Hawk. Charlie is a charming, handsome philanthropist, Adam is a forty-something celebrity lawyer and Gray is a gifted artist with a knack for attracting troubled relationships. At the start of the book, the bachelors, who are best of friends, are spending their annual summer vacation cruising the Mediterranean aboard Charlie's majectic yacht, completely unaware that by autumn, all three will fall into relationships they never saw coming. A great beach reat.

When you've got three attractive men in a Steel novel, each determined to stay single, you can expect romance, love and marriage vows around the corner, as well as the usual mix of glamour, fashion and wealth. Charles Sumner Harrington, born to affluence, has no family and, following several botched engagements, is, at 46, a perfectionist who will probably never meet the woman of his dreams. Adam Weiss, a Harvard Lawtrained hotshot, was burned by a nasty divorce; at 41, he is a sworn bachelor who parties with the pretty, young and clueless. Gray Hawk, a New York artist living hand-to-mouth at 50, was adopted at birth by globe-trotting, drug-taking rock stars; he's drawn exclusively to women whose middle name is "victim." The three friends take their annual summer Mediterranean booze cruise on Charles's luxurious yacht, and in the hubbub there and back in New York, each ends up crossing paths with a woman who turns his life upside down. After the initial bliss, there are confrontations, challenges and threats to promising relationships. Despite relentlessly reiterating her characters' Freudian backstories, Steel delivers the inevitable happy endings in the usual nontoxic, satisfying manner.
Excellent book
Men do experience emotions just as well. Another great book by D. Steel. Never disappointed.
Good Book, good story line and excellent tale of three Men and their hang ups on commitment and love.
Danielle Steel explores the perils of dating, relationships, and love in a novel that takes us into the intoxicating, infuriating world of three charming single men, also know as Toxic Bachelors
Another great book by Danielle Steel.
3 friends spend a summer vacation crusing the Mediterrean about a majestic yacht are about to have their bachelorhoods rocked.
Bestfriends. Devout bachelors. What will they do when love reaches their doors? Slaps them in their faces? Makes them rethink their own personal life choices?
Good "Steel" story.
Entertaining plot. Easily read.
Good read. Danielle is dependable that way.
Like all Danielle Steel books this is a fun read. The story is engaging and addicting.
Typical D.S. It was a good book, but I found she repeated herself a lot in the book. Worth the read.
One of her best ones as far as I am concerned
They were the best of friends and the most daunting of bachelors....Charlie Harrington, a handsome philanthropist, has such high expectations for his perfect bride that no mortal need apply....Adam Weiss, a forty-something celebrity lawyer, prefers his women very young, very voluptuous, and very short-term.And for Gray Hawk, a gifted artist with a knack for attracting troubled relationships, women are fine; its just the idea of family he cant imagine (particularly the family of the woman hes dating).
Now the three friends, spending their annual summer vacation cruising the Mediterranean aboard Charlies majestic yacht, are about to have their bachelorhood rocked. By autumn all three will fall precipitously into relationships they never saw coming. Charlie begins dating a crusading social worker who couldnt be further from his idealuntil he makes a stunning discovery about her. Adam gets involved with his usual twenty-something bombshellonly this one has a remarkable mind of her own. And Gray, who has avoided both business and family like the plague, has managed to fall head over heels for a successful career womanwho just happens to be a mother as well.
As another holiday on the yacht approaches, and with it a turning point in each mans life, the three bachelors are forced to face the things that scare them most: their phobias about relationships, the wounds of the pastand the kind of women who challenge their deepest terrors. What happens next will spark big changes for Charlie, Adam, and Grayand might just put an end to their carousing days forever. For as the once-carefree trio is about to discover, love is the most unpredictable adventure of all.

Wonderful book. It takes a male perspective. She makes you fall in love with the three bachelors that you want them to find their ideal love. You can really relate to them in this book.
Absolutely perfect!
Very well written. Keeps you guessing & reading to find out how these bachelors will fair out in life.
Not typical of Danielle Steele but very good.
I enjoyed this book
Shirley H. (bumblebee) - , reviewed Toxic Bachelors (Audio CD) (Unabridged) on + 5 more book reviews

Great book, very cute book
wife and I loved it,, made for men or women
This story follows her usual stories that she has done in the past but from the guys view-----not up to her usual standards but everyone has his own opinion
three charming long-time bachelors finally succumb to love -- a good Danielle Steel
I enjoyed this book alot! It was interesting to really see these 3 men's perspective on life and dating.
I loved this book! I couldn't wait to get time each day to read it! This is a great book is your a Ds fan!
A breezy read.
Great read. Typical Danielle Steel.
good, but not as good as most of her books............I'd give it a three star rating, where most are definite 5-stars
I bought the book before reading any reviews, read some reviews and then read the book with dread. It was not nearly as bad as I feared. It still doesn't live up to the expectations of Steel's earlier works, but was definitely not the worst thing I've ever read.
Good book but had already read some time ago I guess.
Another great read by Danielle Steel.
Good, but I am Danielle Steele-d out!!!
author has had better books
new danielle steele-new style
Another great book from Danielle Steel.
good book about 3 bachelors who are freinds and how they find love--classic Danielle
They were the best of friends and the most daunting of bachelors: Charlie Harrington, a charming, handsome philanthropist; Adam Weiss, a forty-somthing celebrity lawyer; and Gary Hawk, a gifted artist with a knack for attracting troubled relationships. Now they are spending their annual summer vacation cruising the Mediterranean aboard Charlie's majestic yacht, completely unaware that by autumn, all three will fall into relationships they never saw coming. Charlie begins dating a crusading social worker who couldn't be further from his ideal - until he makes a stunning discovery about her. Adam gets involved with his usual twenty-something bombshell - only this one has a remarkable mind of her own. And Gray, who has avoided both business and family like the plague, has managed to fall head over heels for a successful career woman - who just happens to be a mother as well.
