Book Review:
''Danielle Steel's 'Palomino' is a classic tale of heartbreak and second chances that will appeal to her many fans. The novel starts in a place of real emotional pain, as Samantha deals with the devastating betrayal of her husband. Steel does a great job of capturing that sense of loss and confusion.

The setting of the California ranch provides a wonderful escape, both for Samantha and the reader. The descriptions of the landscape and the horses add a lovely, calming element to the story. The romance with Tate, the strong and silent horse breaker, is sweet and predictable in the best way possible—it's the comforting, happy ending you're hoping for.

While the plot follows a familiar pattern (city woman finds healing and love in the country), Steel's storytelling is engaging and the characters are likeable. It's a quick, easy read that's perfect for a relaxing afternoon. If you're looking for an emotional but ultimately uplifting romance, 'Palomino' is a solid choice.''
