On Sale Next Week: Danielle Steel and Catherine Coulter
Charlotte Abbott -- Publishers Weekly, 6/17/2008 7:03:00 AM
Next week, two well-reviewed romance blockbusters face off. Category queen Steel spins a tale of a divorced woman torn between her new love and former husband with “a satisfying twist at book's end that most readers won't see coming,” according to the PW review. Meanwhile, romantic suspense master Catherine Coulter’s 12th FBI thriller, “exposes the cost of obsessive regard for family honor and family shame” with her usual flair.
