Summary
A woman who longs to avoid risk at all cost learns that men who love danger are the most exciting in this moving novel from New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel.
After a carefree childhood, Mary Margaret Kelly came of age in the shadow of grief. Her father, a dashing daredevil Air Force pilot, died when she was nine. Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back together. As the family moved from one city to the next, her mother warned her to beware of daredevil men and avoid risk at all cost.
Following her mother’s advice, and forgoing the magic of first love with a high school boyfriend who was too wild to feel safe, Maggie instead sought out all the things her mother had lost - a predictable partner, a stable home, and a regular paycheck. She chose to marry a dependable, kind man who was a reliable husband and successful accountant. Together they had a son and found happiness in a conventional suburban life. Until tragedy struck again.
Now on her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from San Francisco to Rome, Paris, and Monaco. But when her travels reconnect her with the very same irresistible, thrill-seeking man she’s spent 30 years trying to forget, Maggie becomes terrified that rushing into love and sharing his life may very well end in disaster. But ultimately, while Maggie tries to outrun her fears and painful memories of her past, fate will surprise her in the most astounding of ways, as she walks the tightrope between danger and courage, and between wisdom and love.

Not one of her best but still worth a listen
Danielle Steel is prolific, writing half a dozen novels a year, she has a great talent for a good story with triumph over adversity and a satisfying feel good ending. I love her books for these very reasons and listen to all of them.
Nine Lives was still a companionable listen but not one of her better books. It was extremely predictable and a bit wooden in places, and I felt that the ending was rushed.
The narrator made it a more pleasurable listen. It took me away from reality but I won’t be revisiting this one as I do with many of my much loved Steel novels.
If you’re a loyal fan you won’t regret listening to this, if you’re new to Danielle Steel I’d suggest you try one of her other bestsellers first.

Slow story after the first quarter
To long winded . Too many repeats of her feelings. Not Daniel Steel at her best. It felt as though she was filling pages.

Very little to like any of the characters
It could have been an article in a Women’s Magazine. Very disappointing . Waste of Credit.
