It turns out Jane's house comes complete with an unexpected house guest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor who is fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn't be more different. Their attraction couldn't be more immediate. Suddenly, Coco is seeing things totally differently: Leslie is not just a celebrity, he is a loving single father with an adorable six-year-old daughter. Her mother's not just a self-centered walking advertisement for great cosmetic surgery, she is a woman in love, with vulnerability and new insight. And Jane and Liz are about to take the bravest plunge of all - into parenthood. As Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywood's hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their new lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formed - some traditional and some not so traditional. As I have said before, I consider Danielle Steel to be my "guilty pleasure" author - the type of author that I read in order to experience my "Calgon, take me away" moment. Usually, I can count on Danielle Steel for fluffy, feel good plots and characters. Unfortunately, this particular book had no such plots or characters for me to enjoy. I found that in the 320 pages of this book, Danielle Steel concentrated almost too much on the minutest details of characters' reactions to events, and not as much as she should have on furthering the plot. Perhaps I didn't enjoy this book as much as I usually do when I read a book by Danielle Steel, but I did end up giving this book a B+! I still enjoy Danielle Steel as my "guilty pleasure" author, I just don't think I will read another Danielle Steel book for several months.

Coco Barrington ha nacido en el seno de una célebre familia de Hollywood que espera grandes cosas de ella. Su madre es una exitosa escritora; viuda y hermosa, acaba de liarse con un hombre mucho más joven que ella y parece que la relación le sienta fenomenal. Su hermana, Jane, es una de las productoras más importantes del star system; lesbiana y segura de sà misma, lleva casada con una reconocida guionista más de diez años. Y Coco… Coco dejó la carrera de Derecho a medias y se largó a California para alejarse de los focos, la opulencia y la superficialidad. Ahora trabaja paseando perros y se ha convertido, oficialmente, en la oveja negra de la familia. Pero cuando Jane le pide insistentemente que se traslade a su mansión para cuidar de su perro durante su ausencia no puede negarse. Y es entonces como aprende una de las verdades fundamentales de la vida: nada sale nunca como te esperas. Resulta que la casa incluye un invitado sorpresa, Leslie Baxter, un atractivo actor británico que huye de su ex y es, para más inri, la estrella del momento. Sus mundos no podÃan ser más diferentes. La atracción no podÃa ser más inmediata. De repente, Coco ve las cosas desde otra perspectiva: Leslie no es solo una celebrity, también está soltero y es el padre de una adorable adolescente. Su madre no es solo una ególatra con un cuerpo de infarto, es una mujer enamorada y vulnerable. Y su perfecta hermana está a punto de embarcarse en el intimidante mundo de la maternidad. Al tiempo que Coco comienza a vislumbrar cómo serÃa su vida con el hombre más macizo de Hollywood, la prensa no deja de perseguirlos y atosigarlos con sus preguntas, sus rumores y sus brillantes focos. ¿Podrá su relación sobrevivir al peso de la fama?

Her sister, Jane, is one of Hollywoodâ??s top producers and has lived with her partner, Liz, for ten years in a solid, loving relationship. Florence, widowed but still radiant, has just begun a secret romance with a man twenty-four years her junior. But Coco, a law-school dropout and the family black sheep, works as a dog walker, having fled life in the spotlight for an artsy Northern California beach town. When Coco reluctantly agrees to house-sit for Jane, she discovers an unexpected houseguest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor whoâ??s fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldnâ??t be more different. The attraction couldnâ??t be more immediate. And as Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywoodâ??s hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formedâ??some traditional, some not so traditional, but all bonded by love.
