As always, Danielle Steel pulls her reader in from the first page. Enjoyed this book about a royal family...the story flowed, the characters were well developed and Royal kept me turning the pages. Another page turner by Danielle Steel.
Thank you to netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book is about an unknown princess of England, Anne. She is the daughter of Princess Charlotte, youngest child of the King and Queen of England. Charlotte is sent to the countryside during WW II due to her asthma. This story expects us to believe there was a different royal family of England and a princess had a baby that was hidden for 18 years. Far fetched.

This is the first book I’ve read by Danielle Steel. The story captured my attention and was different than I expected it to be. I was drawn in by the storyline surrounding a royal family. What surprised me is that this is the first book I’ve read in a long time that covers almost thirty years of time in one book. I was hesitant about that after getting attached to the characters but ended up loving how fast it moved. This book was like reading a whole series in one sitting. I loved how each character captured my attention and how the story evolved! It was fast paced, a good amount of suspense, interesting plot twists, but not too heavy that made it unenjoyable.

I also really appreciated that there was very little language and sexual content. If there was any sexual content, it was kept to a minimum and wasn’t descriptive. This gives me hope to read other works by this author! It’s very hard to find good books like that.

Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my review.

Danielle Steel has done it again - another heartwarming page-turner which drew me in from the very first page and kept me riveted all the way through. I loved the characters, the story, the horses and the plot. I highly recommend it and know it will be extremely successful.

I am usually charmed by Steel’s books, so I was excited about reading this. Honestly, I felt like I got Barbara Cartland, not prime Steel.

This was a totally trite tale about a princess....not worth retelling. I have been loving her recent books, so this was a disappointment.

Thank you Netgalley for for allowing me to read this ARC.

Once the reader gets through the numerous deaths and to the gist of the story, the book seems to be almost over. I did enjoy the historical aspect of this novel. That being said, it was just too realistic especially the horse part. Also, I noticed that yet again, the author mentions St. Tropez. One might hope that in a book about WWII this might be left out. I want this author to write a book like The Ring. Forget the rich lifestyle and the travels...of modern time. Concentrate on history. There was much sadness in the story... for a quick read....
