Of course, the brother has always resented Angelique because he hated her mother, who actually died at her birth. The 18 year old daughter of a Duke, Angelique, is left at the mercy of her half brother upon her father's death. We are told repeatedly of this extraordinary beauty and near genius like intelligence on a regular basis. Of course, the heroine, as is the case with every Steel heroine, possesses beauty and intelligence that defies human expectations. I don't even know where to start with my complaints. But once I started reading, much like watching a train wreck, I finished the whole book. I should have just went with my first inclination and just stayed away. If I were to buy the book on Amazon it would be $14.99 so why not take the opportunity to borrow. I figure what the heck, perhaps I should give Steel another chance. However, I see this historical (almost always my first choice) highly rated (GR: 4.21 and Amazon over 4 stars) novel available to borrow as an e-book from Overdrive library. The last time I read a Danielle Steel book has to be at least 25 years ago. OMG.I am half embarrassed to even admit I read this book but here goes.
