Danielle Steel 2 DVD Collection

Ladies, do we have a treat for you: a cozy, romantic boxed set featuring some of Danielle Steel's best escapist films. It's like having the best of Lifetime Movie Network condensed into two fabulous discs. The set includes four films, starting with the little-known but deeply engaging film, The Promise, starring a young Kathleen Quinlan and pre-7th Heaven Stephen Collins. The two play college sweethearts whose lives are forever changed by a jarring, violent event, leading them to make a series of decisions that will shape their future. Quinlan and Collins have undeniable chemistry, and their longing for each other is palpable. Plus, the film features high production values, a score by David Shire, and direction by Gil Cates, best known for directing the Academy Awards broadcasts.

The set also includes Palomino, a story of a sophisticated city woman who finds love with a cowboy in the rugged California horse country. Lindsay Frost and Peter Bergman have intense sexual tension, and the always-welcome Eva Marie Saint makes a memorable appearance. Another film, Secrets, stars Josie Bissett as a soap opera star who discovers that real-life drama off camera is just as complicated as her show's plotlines. And in Star, Jennie Garth and Craig Bierko play lovers whose lives take unexpected turns when they reunite years later despite time, distance, and different circumstances.

So grab some popcorn and brew some tea—this disc is perfect for a girls' weekend, whether you're with friends or enjoying some comfy alone time. --A.T. Hurley
