A quick easy read. Can finish the book in a day. I used to work in a hotel and this had me thinking about some of the stories I heard from guests.

OMG, spare me! I love historical fiction, and I was checking out some romances. So when I found this book in a free box in the park, I thought, why not? The plot was hard to believe, the characters dull, and the love scene quick and amateurish. This was my second Steel book, the first being just as bad. Guess I'm not a Steel fan.

Even worse than the other Danielle Steel book I read. Some say she wrote this in 2 weeks. And it shows.

Trial by Fire: A Captivating Tale of Love and Resilience

Danielle Steel delivers another compelling novel with "Trial by Fire," a story that beautifully interweaves themes of love, loss, resilience, and the enduring strength of family bonds.

Dahlia de Beaumont, a successful CEO of a Parisian perfume firm, embarks on a routine business trip to the United States. Her trip takes an unexpected turn when raging wildfires trap her in San Francisco. While waiting for the smoke to clear, she finds solace and purpose volunteering at a pet rescue shelter. Amid the chaos, a chance encounter with Mark Hamilton, a charismatic lawyer, ignites a passionate romance.

Steel masterfully portrays the burgeoning relationship between Dahlia and Mark, two individuals from different worlds brought together by fate. Their connection is immediate and profound, offering a sense of peace and joy amidst the turmoil of the wildfires and a looming lawsuit.

The story takes a dramatic turn when Dahlia is involved in a car accident, leaving her with injuries and facing a manipulative lawsuit from the other driver. The legal battle adds a layer of suspense and intrigue to the narrative.Dahlia's strength and resilience are tested as she navigates the complexities of the legal system while dealing with the emotional fallout of the accident.

Beyond the romance and suspense, "Trial by Fire" explores the dynamics of family relationships. Dahlia's connection with her children, each facing their own trials and triumphs, adds depth and emotional resonance to the story. Despite the physical distance, Dahlia's love for her children remains a constant source of strength and motivation.

Steel's signature style shines through in her vivid descriptions of Paris and San Francisco, transporting readers to the heart of these vibrant cities. Her prose is elegant and engaging, making "Trial by Fire" an immersive and satisfying read.

Overall, "Trial by Fire" is a captivating story that celebrates the power of love, resilience, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a testament to Danielle Steel's ability to craft compelling narratives that resonate with readers on an emotional level. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys heartwarming romances with a touch of suspense and a strong emphasis on family bonds.
