She doesn’t realize that Pierre was flagged by the CIA, and that’s when she meets Mike Andrews, who poses as a lawyer but is actually a CIA agent who is tailing Pierre. Find yourself gripped by Suspects, a story of wealth, fear, revenge and love, by the world's favourite storyteller. Theo is a broken woman and is slowly healing as she gets back out in the world and oversees her business and her late husband’s business. Danielle Steel has been hailed as one of the world’s bestselling authors, with almost a billion copies of her novels sold. Danielle Steel books are always a gamble for me - there’s usually about a 50% chance I’m going to ADORE it and a 50% chance I’ll just feel meh about it.

Suspects: A thrilling, high stakes drama from the billion Suspects: A thrilling, high stakes drama from the billion

I find the luxury brands and fashion industry exciting and the way Danielle Steel wrote this into the novel made me feel like I was part of that industry. The case has yet to be solved and there are worries that the kidnappers will strike again since they only got half of the ransom. Senior supervising CIA operative Mike Andrews investigates Pierre’s suspicious Russian contacts and clears him to enter the country, but when he realizes thatTheodora Morgan is on the same flight, he becomes concerned for her safety. Luckily these reads are on the short side, and I treat them for the indulgence they are, a light easy read, with a lot of eye rolling involved.When Mike and Theo meet, their connection is instant, but Theo is completely unaware of Mike’s true objective or identity… or that the life she is rebuilding is in grave danger. This is NOT a thriller, it is a romance novel where the older male hero saves his damsel in distress. I'd like to thank NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine for an advanced copy of Suspects.

And FYI, there are a lot of them (thankfully), so if you haven’t read many of them yet, this list will keep you busy for a while. It’s a thriller, with a mystery with just a bit of romance as we get inside the world of high finance, and global espionage. While the author's intent was a thrilling espionage and killer romance, I 'suspect' it will be difficult subject matter. This book follows and is told through the point of view of the two main characters (Theodora Morgan and Mike Andrews). She is also the author of His Bright Light, the story of her son Nick Traina’s life and death; A Gift of Hope, a memoir of her work with the homeless; Expect a Miracle, a book of her favorite quotations for inspiration and comfort; Pure Joy, about the dogs she and her family have loved; and the children’s books Pretty Minnie in Paris and Pretty Minnie in Hollywood.Theodora Morgan (Theo) lives in Paris and has a wildly successful online fashion site, and for years has been known as the queen of fashion. It was a year ago when the unthinkable struck her family, and her husband, industry mogul Matthieu Pasquier, and their son were kidnapped and held for ransom—a nightmare that ended in tragedy. Mike is with the CIA and Theo catches his eye when a person on the flight with her from Paris comes on the radar of the intelligent agencies in France, Britain, and the US. A wealthy Parisian fashion mogul who was recently widowed when Russian kidnappers killed her husband and son, falls in love with an American CIA agent.

Theo Morgan, fashion royalty is still reeling from the untimely murder of her husband and son a year ago. When Mike and Theo meet, theirconnection is instant, but Theo is completely unaware of Mike’s true objective or identity… or that the life she is rebuilding is in grave danger. As all of this is going on, the people that killed her family are still out there and now they want payback for not getting all of the ransom. Theo Morgan has led a very sad life for the last year because her husband and son were kidnapped and killed. This one lacked substance, made worse by the usual audio narration that always seem to be generic and wooden.There was a ransom demand that Theo could easily have paid, but the authorities wanted more time to try to solve the case. Her books are little treats that can be gobbled down in a sitting or two and offer an enjoyable escape.
