Thank you #netgalley, #randomhousepublishing-ballatine and #daniellesteel for providing the ARC to me. All opinions expressed above are my own. The contemporary romance novel ‘Zoya,’ penned by acclaimed author Danielle Steel, was published in 1988. This title further solidified Steel’s reputation for creating engaging and heartwarming stories. The publishing house responsible for bringing this novel to readers was Delacorte Press. Danielle continued her advocacy for change by lobbying for legislative modifications for children’s mental health in Washington and by establishing a second foundation to aid the homeless.High Stakes is beautifully written with lots of noteable office drama that fans love! Danielle Steel is one of the reigning queens of romance and suspense. She has still got it going on in the world of great books and shows no signs of slowing down. The women work for a successful literacy and entertainment agency in New York owned by partners Bob Benson and Dan Fletcher. Jane Addison is a smart young woman who has just been employed by the agency and it’s not long before she becomes prey to Dan Fletcher. We watch how Jane faces the challenge of fighting for her rights and the ramifications that follow. This story has several different running storylines running throughout the entire book. The story for the most part was interesting but extremely predictable. There are some triggers within the book such as sexual harassment and rape so be aware of those triggers. The partnering owner is also a male, and he voices the desire for the women to withdraw charges at one stage, so not all is going swimmingly in the agency.
