Top TV anchorwoman Melanie Adams had given up on love after a failed marriage and an unhappy affair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it, loved it, read it again, August 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Changes (Paperback)

I am not a huge Danielle Steel fan, but I have always enjoyed the "made for tv" movies that have been done of her books. After being fascinated by them, I decided to read the book. I found the book much more realistic than the movie and I enjoyed it throughly. The difficulties of two people finding love after suffering heartbreaks was very touching. I think the conflicts that both felt were very real. I especially liked the fact that Peter was a man who was not afraid to show his emotions. Several times in the book he cried, as did Melanie. The characters were very well thought out and remained true to themselves. I would really love a sequel to find out how the new twins fit in, did Melanie quit her job because of the new babies, what happend with the ther children, etc. I hated for the book to end!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My First Danielle Steel Book, September 12, 2002

By 

Lisa (San Bernardino, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Changes (Paperback)

This is my first Danielle Steel book, and it won't be my last. I have read so many good things about the way Danielle Steel writes I don't know why I never got around to reading her books, a friend of mine and I are reading the same books and we came across this book. I just like the way these two people were able to find love for the second time around. With Peter losing his wife and rasing his kids, With Mel having to rasie her twins girls by herself when the twins father ran out on her, to find someone in a different state and to hold on the love that they have and figture out where to go from there it's like your are taking a ride along with them to find the journey that they hope to find together as a family, and what a journey it is.

4.0 out of 5 stars changes, September 15, 2010

This review is from: Changes (Paperback)

Mel Adams has spent the past 15 years alone, since her husband left her when she got pregnant had had their twins, Val and Jess. She works hard and eventually becomes a famous TV personality.

Peter Hallam is a heart surgeon, one of the best there is. His wife has died in the past couple of years (of a heart problem) leaving him alone with his kids, Matt who's six, Pam who's 14 and Mark 17. They live in a house which resembles a shrine to his late wife Anne.

Mel is sent by her LA Network to interview Peter and she eventually meets his kids. This is where their problems begin.

I enjoyed this, it's a bit predictable yeah but still a good read...
