About this listen

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel comes a powerful novel about a woman running her family’s luxury department store and the wealthy investor who threatens to take it over.

Spencer Brooke always knew she was destined to be CEO of her grandfather’s business—the most respected and luxurious department store in New York City. Brooke’s has been at the center of every happy memory she has, but it hasn’t been an easy journey. Seven years after her father’s death, her life is very different from the days when she walked through the store with her grandfather as a young girl. She may be the owner of Brooke’s, but she’s also now a divorced single mother of twin boys. And with the ever-evolving landscape of the fashion industry comes new challenges for Spencer and the legacy she’s inherited.

Mike Weston is known for making enormous profits by transforming small businesses into bigger, more successful ones. With his marriage at a breaking point and his children grown up, investing is where he thrives—where he can build something greater. And Brooke’s feels like the perfect opportunity. Yet the firm’s beautiful and savvy CEO turns down the offer before they even meet.

Spencer has no interest in outside investors meddling in her family business; her grandfather never saw the need for them, and neither does she. She refuses to be tempted by Mike’s offer, despite her big dreams of expanding the store. But when bad luck strikes, suddenly she is backed into a corner.

In Worthy Opponents, Danielle Steel crafts a thrilling story about a powerful woman—and her equally formidable opponent.

Ok for mindless listening

I haven’t listened to or read DS is a very long time. I don’t remember her other books being so repetitious!! You hear a sentence, then 5 minutes later you’ll hear it again, then again 3 minutes later or some version of it. I had to increase the speed as the reader was so sloooow.

Will continue to use audible for recorded books! Danielle Steele always knows how to have a happy ending. It’s almost predictable; yet enjoyable!

I've missed you Ms. Steel

4.25 Stars 🌟

This book really hit me in the gut when I started because I grew up on Danielle Steel. Oh my gosh, I was so very young when I started reading her books and let's just say that was many, MANY years ago. And I read so very many of her books. There was a definite pattern with her. Romance at its finest, but definitely a fairly standard storyline. Just the people differed. Then, something happened and I don't know if my reading tastes changed, or I outgrew her, but then I seemed to just stop.

Anyway, I saw this book, liked the summary, and thought I would give it a chance. Boy, am I glad I did. There is something about the way Ms. Steel sets up the world, especially the way she builds the family - through the many generations- that just had me intrigued immediately. I also had a feeling of coming home, of recognizing the style of writing and just immediately loving going along with the flow.

I enjoyed this story immensely. I liked both of the MC's - both the female Spencer and the male Mike. I loved having feelings of immense dislike for Mike's wife, and then feeling annoyed with Spencer's husband Bart. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say other than she built the world so well, that it was fun to just fall into it and enjoy the ride.

The story follows a family from several generations as they build, lose, and rebuild the family business - an exclusive retail store. We end with the "now" that has Spencer - a woman - rising up to taking over the family business and the problems that arise due to unforeseen circumstances.

Then we meet Mike Weston, a brilliant financial genius who excels in finding investment opportunities in unique areas. His strengths lie in bringing investors together to make lots of money. He is made aware of Spencer's store and decides he wants a part of it. Unfortunately, his wife is just AWFUL (that's really neither here nor there, I just wanted to mention it.....but I digress).

This story is really about everyday life. Life as families grow, as children are born, those children grow up and have families of their own. How the wishes of the parents are not always the wants of the children. About the ability to have it all and the sacrifices that are required to make it all work.

Like I said before, I really enjoyed this book. I also realized that I missed Ms. Steel and just might go back and see what other books I might have passed over recently. All in all - this was a wonderful afternoon spent listening and a warm and comfortable experience.

Sappy

I have hardly ever read any of Danielle Steel's novels, and now I know why. They are pretty much a Lifetime Network movie in print.
