Customer Reviews

Loved It

Personally, I liked the book. Wanted to cry at some of the stuff in it, but you know if things kept on being the way it was, no one would have thought to have their marital statuses changed at all. These guys loved each other. Perhaps not passionately at first, but as time moved on, they did, and the cruelties they withstood, too much. I believe this was the last Steel novel I read and I wasn't disappointed at all.I was surprized by some of the other reviews here. I admit your creativity kind of wans after you have written so many books, and her earlier novels were very well done. How can one forget? But I enjoyed this as well.

The Kiss by Danielle Steel

I started reading this book the minute I got it. I so look forward to reading her novels. This one keep me so intrigued it was hard to put it down and tend to my families' needs. I felt like I was right there with the characters with all the happenings. The first kiss was so magical and holds them on after the tragedy. I still cannot beleive that Isabelle's husband could be so cold and heartless. Isabelle was so good to her family and her wifely duties that sometimes, I got so frustrated with her husband being a real "jerk" and having no heart when it came to his own son. The Love affair was written very true to reality, yet was not "smutty" at all, true to a Danielle Steel novel. Bill and Isabelle were in love and Bill's reactions to his body afterwards is so very true to reality. I see it all the time as I am a RN. I loved it having a happy ending and that all the characters got what they deserved. I recommend this novel to all Danielle Steel fans and romance readers.

One of her very best

Other than one of her earlier novels, I believe, "To Love Again", did I feel so much for the principals in this novel. My heart went out more to Isabelle more so because that husband of hers was just plain heartless. but to just be kissing and to crash like that, that was a bit much. But I got to give this couple one thing, they didn't carry on no affair, they took their time, and to be real, didn't nothing disrespectful happen in this book. Bill was so hard to feel that he couldn't love that he almost lost out on love until it was almost too late. I really love these kinds of romance. Ms. Steel made a good one this time. I usually read her novels just as they come out now for over twenty three years now,when I first read "The Promise". this one young girl had it, and I went out and bought a copy, and I've been hooked by Steel ever since. and I am not always a disappointed customer. Now when they make them movies is when I really get mad because they mess up the story line. Other than that, her books are alright by me.

Doesn't disappoint

At a time in our history when we're all on edge, it was a relief to pick up Danielle Steel's "The Kiss". It was a dependable storyline with a happy ending and took me back to "the good old days" before September 11th when you could get lost in a book and just enjoy the day.If you like Danielle Steel (and I do), her books will never disappoint. You know what you're going to get and she delivers every time.Enjoy and take a few hours of relaxing time.

Touches the Heart

Danielle Steel has done it again this book is wonderful from the start to the end. It will touch your heart and bring tears to your eyes. You will love every minute of it!
