Web ID: 16609748

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel comes an uplifting novel about an author who to her surprise inherits a grand estate near London. Sabrina Brooks is a wildly successful bestselling author of gripping thrillers. Unlike her fictional characters, Sabrina lives a quiet life in the Berkshires with her two beloved dogs. But behind this peaceful exterior is a dark, painful past. As a child raised by an emotionally distant father, Sabrina rarely felt love. And as an adult, her marriage twisted into an abusive relationship from which she had to escape. Sabrina channeled that fear into her writing, and now she has everything she's ever wanted. Until the arrival of a mysterious letter disrupts it all, declaring that Sabrina, as the only living relative of her recently deceased uncle, is now the heir to his title and estate outside London. This shocking news forces her to cross the Atlantic and see the manor for herself, stirring up her father's past and the secrets he kept. Determined to sell the estate quickly and return home, Sabrina is surprised by how much she loves roaming the gardens and exploring the historic manor. She can't help but admire her surroundings, especially with the handsome estate attorney, Grayson Abbott, acting as her tour guide. As she learns more about the family history, Sabrina begins to wonder what life would be like as Lady Brooks.

I choose Happiness

Sabrina Brooks has never felt loved. Her mother left when she was six and her father never gave her the time or love she longed for. He was locked up in his own unhappy life. Sabrina married twice one was a mistake and the other a disaster. Being strong she became a best-selling author and used some of her experiences with her second husband in her books. After she receives a letter from her uncle whom she never met she decides to visit. What she discovers is a reason for her father's unhappiness and also the reason he left London. As she uncovers more from the handsome attorney Grayson Abbott and his dad she realizes she was not just left an estate but also a title. Grayson seems like the man she has been looking for all her life but he comes with complications. At what price is she willing to sacrifice her happiness? An enjoyable read.

This book was such an amazing story, Sabrina did not have an easy childhood, her mom left when she was little, her father was there but never showed her any affection, 1 horrible marriage that she finally escapes from and she is on her own, she becomes a best selling author who writes psycho thrillers but always wonders why her mother left and why her father was so cut off from everyone. After her father passes away, she finds out she has inherited property/home in England, which she doesn't even want. She goes to meet with the attorney and to view the property and is immediately smitten with the handsome lawyer, there are some thing revealed and she does get answers about her father, she decides to go back to the US but fate has other plans. Once she has answers about her father, she decides she needs answers from her mother, then makes some big decisions in her life. She was a strong woman who wouldn't let herself settle for less than she deserved, she takes a huge leap of faith and gets everything she wished for. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC,

Not Her Best

Her books are getting more and more unrealistic! And so tired of all these older men being matched with women always way younger than them, why? Just corny and same old story just differs names.

Happiness is a Choice

Danielle Steel posits that happiness is a choice, and Sabrina Brooks is her proof. Deserted by her mother, raised by a cold and distant father, she has become a wildly successful thriller writer. She is content with an insular life, with her dogs and a few close friends. When she is left an English estate by an uncle she didn't know, she travels to see it and put it on the market, but falls in love with it -- and with the charming British lawyer who is handling it. But the course of love isn't always easy, and she must stand on her values and choose happiness in the face of great pain. Steel's narrative style and emotional stories have brought her millions of avid readers, and Happiness will be sure to bring her new fans. #Happiness #NetGalley #SaltMarshAuthorSeries.

Women's Fiction

This is a Slow Moving Romance/Women's Fiction. I loved how real the characters felt to me in this book. This book was not a happy fun romance, but it shows how one event in your life can change you and your life. This book was a crazy and emotional read. I really loved this book, and I could not put it down. There are some things in this book that may upset a reader, so please look into triggers before picking up this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Delightful Read!

Another feel good book from Danielle that includes family or lack thereof, love, relationships and friendships. While I enjoyed this heartwarming story about an Author who writes thrillers, I thought I'd enjoy it more. It read very slow throughout. A genuine nice read. a slight bonus for a Wizard of Oz mention.
