This book was captivating but for all the wrong reasons... gee are the main characters so darn frustrating in their love for one another. A game of longing and wanting by both of them .. Kate chasing and Joe runing... so much love for one another but no compromise and when there eventually was - he went and got himself killed!!
this review I have "google found" in romance reader also feels the frustration...

But from a writing perspective was good to give an insight into such a relationship and something I can find myself doing at times... loving too much over caring and frighening the one loved and cared for away!!! all you want is to enjoy one another!
It was interesting that Danielle had Kate and the readers put through the pain of two pregnancy losses... A miscarriage while Joe was away at war - his babe from the last hours before he left...!! ;-) and then when they finally married the loss of an advanced twin pregnancy in a RTA... I would have thought one loss was enough to share ...but it seemed to work... and as I think about it a mere reflection of life as it can be ... as time moves on sometimes we have the same or variations of same challenges to our loves and life together.
But how frustrating that she had the marriage time with another and had his babies before settling down with Joe...
Danielle Steel has used her story writing powers to allow the reader to drop in on her characters lives and share them whatever their lives dish out... and you really do feel you are like a sort of angel looking down on these characters as they act out their lives before you...
Good read but so frustrating!
I love these words though at the begining of the book...
a thousand years
a thousand fears
a thousand tears we shed for one another..
....
we danced
we laughed
we flew
we grew
we dared
we cared more than any soul could know or reason.
