TOXIC BACHELORS

Romance | Contemporary

Devoted fans of Danielle Steel will be excited to awaken Christmas morning to a wrapped copy of her newest book, TOXIC BACHELORS. The reader in your life will be oblivious to the sounds of Christmas toys at full volume as she loses herself in the story of three confirmed bachelors, Adam, Charlie, and Gray.

Adam, Charlie, and Gray spend a month each summer being international playboys. They sail the exclusive ports of Europe. They enjoy all the excesses of the good life, food drink, parties, and women.

This year's trip is no exception. It starts as each trip typically does, full of food, drink, and general debauchery. For Gray it changes when he meets a woman in one of the ports. Little did the men realize that not only would Gray's life change because of his meeting Sylvia but slowly but surely would Cupid's arrow also find Adam and Charlie.

Love isn't smooth for any of the men, but the women in their lives are stubborn, and dig in their heels as to what they expect and don't expect out of a relationship. In the end the men somewhat reform, and decide that life as a confirmed bachelor won't keep them company as they age.

If the female reader in your life is a devoted Steel Fan then TOXIC BACHELORS will make a nice addition to her collection.

SUMMARY

They were the best of friends and the most daunting of bachelors....Charlie Harrington, a handsome philanthropist, has such high expectations for his perfect bride that no mortal need apply....Adam Weiss, a forty-something celebrity lawyer, prefers his women very young, very voluptuous, and very short-termโ€ฆ.And for Gray Hawk, a gifted artist with a knack for attracting troubled relationships, women are fine; itโ€™s just the idea of family he canโ€™t imagine (particularly the family of the woman heโ€™s dating). Now the three friends, spending their annual summer vacation cruising the Mediterranean aboard Charlieโ€™s majestic yacht, are about to have their bachelorhood rocked. By autumn all three will fall precipitously into relationships they never saw coming. Charlie begins dating a crusading social worker who couldnโ€™t be further from his idealโ€“until he makes a stunning discovery about her. Adam gets involved with his usual twenty-something bombshellโ€“only this one has a remarkable mind of her own. And Gray, who has avoided both business and family like the plague, has managed to fall head over heels for a successful career womanโ€“who just happens to be a mother as well. As another holiday on the yacht approaches, and with it a turning point in each manโ€™s life, the three bachelors are forced to face the things that scare them most: their phobias about relationships, the wounds of the pastโ€“and the kind of women who challenge their deepest terrors. What happens next will spark big changes for Charlie, Adam, and Grayโ€“and might just put an end to their carousing days forever. For as the once-carefree trio is about to discover, love is the most unpredictable adventure of all.
