Dashing Jack Watson is the playboy owner of Julies, a chic Beverly Hills toggery. Hes sworn off marriage after the love of his life perished in a car accident a decade ago. One day, his sons mother-in-law–the glamorous ex-starlet Amanda Robbins–is suddenly widowed after 36 years of wedded bliss. Throughout their childrens marriage, Jack and Amanda have always maintained a cordial loathing for one another … You can guess what happens next. Danielle Steels Special Delivery is a bon-bon of a book only a mother could love. Well, not only, but especially–its a paean to middle-aged romance, uxorial devotion, and maternal sacrifice. The characters are all about a micron thick (maybe less), but there are greater crimes than obviousness, to be sure. This heaping teaspoon of glitz–every cars a Ferrari, every drink “French champagne”–will cheer Steels legions of readers. Mission accomplished.
