Summary

At 18 Angélique Latham is her father's closest, most trusted child, schooled in managing their grand estate. But when he dies, her half-brothers brutally turn her out. Unable to secure employment without connections, Angélique desperately makes her way to Paris, where she rescues a young woman fleeing an abusive madam.

With her upper-class breeding, her impeccable style and her father's bequest, Angélique creates Le Boudoir, soon a sensational establishment where powerful men, secret desires and beautiful women come together.

Another good one by Danielle

Things pick up and move pretty quickly in the story so much goes on with lots of changes and surprises. This book was a good read one I would recommend.

the dutchess

the narration was on point and easy to follow, enjoyed listening to the book and was happy about the curve balls until it started being a little predictable.

Loved the story line really good book. It wasn’t the best of Danielle steel I have read but good all the same.

It didn’t give me that tearjerker feeling which I often get with her books not necessarily bad thing but just not the usual her books are usually O sad

Good :)

I enjoyed this book and love the narrator's voice. I wasn't expecting quite as much tragedy in the book but I enjoyed it nonetheless and it has a really good ending.

Wrong Narrater

I think it needed a female narrater and the story went on and on. Too many repeated phrases, maybe bad editing
