Outstanding Read. Well written. Strong women with deep characters . Topic: sexual harassment in the work[lace and survival.

Well Done. As a victim of sexual assault myself, I found these characters as heroic. It is never easy to come forward and I applaud sharing their experiences that might help others in a similar situation.

Women supporting Women. Four and a Half Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭒ High Stakes by Danielle Steel is one of my favorite of her books that I’ve read recently. I liked that she took on the #MeToo movement with a vengeance. These characters were realistic and I was drawn into this book from the very beginning. Jane Addison arrives in New York City ready to start her new job at Fletcher and Benson, a literary and talent agency. Jane is assigned to Hailey West, one of the best literary agents at the agency. Hailey is a widowed mother to three children and still struggles to balance her home life and the busy life of a literary agent. Also in the office is Francine Rivers, a divorced single mother to two children and head of the literary department. Her stern appearance hides some deep emotional hurt that she can’t let anybody uncover. Allie Moore is one of the drama agents and she loves her job mixing with top actors and actresses and wining and dining with her clients. Merriwether Jones is the CFO of the company, she’s married to an aspiring writer who also stays home and cares for their daughter. The new woman, Jane, soon finds out the agency has some secrets and she’s not about to let the status quo continue. As the newest woman on the team, she has the least to lose, and she’s not afraid to shake things up. I’ll admit at first there are a lot of characters, and it’s a bit difficult at first to remember who is who and who is married to whom. But, eventually, these characters become very clear and the journey each of these women takes makes for a very engaging story that kept me turning those pages as I read this book in only one sitting. What I loved was the way these women supported each other and took back their power. I thought the book was inspiring to all young women out in the workplace. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves women’s fiction. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Good story; ends quickly. I liked this story, but it seemed to be wrapped up in a nice bow waaaay too quickly. Again, it just seemed like DS got tired of these women and just gave it a quick ending. I’ve felt that in a couple other recent books. So while it is a good story, I just felt shortchanged.

Page turning. Liked this book for honest approach to what happens in the workplace and what is real.

High Stakes. As always a great read, a story of powerful yet vulnerable women who find out that standing for what you believe in is more important than y their careers.
