The new manager not being great is mentioned many times, and I really did not see the point in this character, but the assistant was great and bit part suddenly grew wings out of nowhere. For me the journey taken by both the guests and the staff is an interesting look into what goes on behind the scenes of peoples lives that are brought together in extraordinary circumstances. He was incomparably discreet, and knew all the delicate secrets of the patrons, many movie stars, and people who had much to lose if his mask of secrecy ever slipped. These 5 guests and the Hotels new manager Olivier Bateau and his new assistant Yvonne Philippe after an eventful first night after the grand reopening of the Hotel Louis XVI.

A couple finds their once-in-a-lifetime trip interrupted by a tragic medical emergency, leaving the idyllic future they've long waited for hanging in the balance. Sometimes less is more and allowing a tragedy to cement a relationship rather than continually untangling obstacles. Loyal Danielle Steel fans who come to her books for the romance as much as the contemporary issues will find the central love story between Alaistair and Gabrielle to be of high interest.This books comes right out after the Affair, which wasn't homophobic it was incredibly sexist and just outdated. One of the guests of the hotel suffers a heart attack and while that is going on a doctor offers his help. Loyal Danielle Steel fans who come to her books for the romance as much as the contemporary issues will find the central love story between Alaistair and Gabrielle to be of high interest. In this quick audio, lives intersect at a fancy hotel in France (doesn’t she love this setting), many things go wrong for all the visitors on opening night, and the new manager cannot cope (but the assistant can).

He had no children, and had worked at the Hotel du Cap-­Eden-­Roc for two years at the front desk, and then at the Ritz, where he had done well but had not been considered exceptional. But they quickly realize that anything can happen at any moment, and on one cool September evening, everything does. A high-profile politician’s career will be tarnished with scandal after a mystery meeting conducted at the hotel.I have always heard wonderful things about Danielle Steels writing, but this is the second book I have read by her, and I must say I was not impressed. Perhaps her early work was wonderful; I don't know as I don't remember reading anything by her when I was young. I don’t usually like books about the elite or wealthy characters, but Danielle does such a good job of making them relatable and human, that I don’t mind her books. One of the characters is a French politician who cheats on his wife with a member of the opposite sex. There is repetition of information especially regarding Gabrielle’s ex-husband and his new Russian bride.
