Book Review: "Worthy Opponents" By Danielle Steel

 


Find love and be love...that's it in a nutshell.

Worthy Opponents brings all the warm fuzzies and heated emotions of divorce to the front.
Danielle Steel always finds that high road that'll either make you or break you but either way it'll create something magical as life lessons are prominent.

It begins with a family estate - Brooke's- but sadly it's become haven to homeless in a bad part of town.
The owner is Spencer who inherited it from her grandad. Brooke's is a divorced mom of twins.
Mike Weston is our hero in disguise -an investor-who for all intense purposes appears as nothing more than a 'snake' until a sudden change of events.

Bad luck happens and Spencer (CEO) must make an all important decision on whether or not to sell, or split up her share of ownership with Mike and accept his deal after the fire.

Online websites aren't cheap. Trust me I know after uncovering similar experiences.

Therefore, trying to find the money upfront w/o having it readily available is the real challenge.

He wanted her to sell but she teetered upon the idea of him only nearly the whole thing.

Meanwhile, the flames sizzled in his marriage after 20 years with divorce looming and older kids getting on with themselves & their own lives.

Maureen ( Mike wife) seems to make out but reality for us divorced ladies isn't quite as rosy as portrayed (my only gripe). Child support is meant up to age 18. Her kids are grown in college if I'm not mistaken. Not sure how the payment for kids expenses and apartments in college worked out in court in her favor.
I digress, what we have here is a story of life altering scenarios that end up bringing some families closer in retrospect while others falter to the waste side.

Thank you to Danielle Steel, Delacorte Press, Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
Worthy Opponents is due out: March 7th 2023!!!
