A compelling and thought-provoking novel from the world's favourite storyteller. Set around a New York talent agency, a group of accomplished women discover the high price of success. Jane Addison is smart, young and ambitious. She's delighted to have landed a job with a prestigious talent agency, Fletcher and Benson. Hailey West, her boss, is dedicated to her authors, but her home life is chaotic and challenging as a single mother following her husband's tragic death. Francine Rivers, the stern and bitter head of department, is also raising children on her own after an acrimonious divorce, and she has had to overcome financial hardship by paying the very highest price. Meanwhile, Allie Moore seems to have it all: she relishes success and loves working with the talented actors she represents. But then a passionate relationship with one of her star clients risks derailing her career. And Merriwether Jones, the CFO of the agency, appears to have the perfect marriage until her husband's jealousy over her career threatens her happiness. Jane quickly realizes that there are damaging secrets behind the doors of the agency. She has the least power, but she is also the least willing to accept things as they are. And when she tries to put things right, the consequences will leave no one unscathed. In this riveting novel, five women at the top of their game navigate the challenges of career and ambition, family and personal lives in a world where it's necessary to fight for what is right.

The High Notes by Daniel Steel... When DS is on a roll, she's really on a roll and right now I believe she is! The high notes is yet another excellent book in a string of good books from DS recently. This is the sweet and inspiring story of Iris Cooper. A child protege to be sure. Also, a traumatic childhood to be sure. Iris doesn't let that hold her back or stand in her way, no excuses… this is who she is and how she got here(cont in comments)...

TheHeartlandBookFairy now it's a matter of how she's going to move forward. A sweet and inspiring story! 2y

This is the story written in the wake of the me too movement. Did a good job of showing different sides to these characters and situations. The only thing I wish was just a little different was how many characters it followed was a little confusing to keep track of each persons story. Overall a good book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks to Net galley for providing a digital copy of high stakes, Danielle Steele's newest book. I'm a long time fan and lifelong reader of DS books but we seem to have a we have a love/barely like relationship. I either love her books or, it seems she's in a funk and they're just off. In her last book and this one, she breaks that mold and she's hot once again!
High stakes is the story of 5 women and their assorted men(cont in comments)

TheHeartlandBookFairy in (or not in) their lives, their families and their jobs. All 5 work for a prestigious talent agency co-owned by 2 partners. One is a stand up guy and the other an old time throwbackof a letch. This book is based around the Me Too movement. A powerful story of bravery and courage, of survival, of a rise and a fall, a fall and the rise. Initially I thought it would be difficult trying to follow the storyline of 5 women, the men in their lives, & their families but it proved to be a non issue and I really enjoyed following these women's individual stories as was as the overall big story. One of Steele's more realistic books lately, one that I thoroughly enjoyed.
