Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCEPTIONAL
Review: I thought this book was exceptional. I've read several of her previous works and found them to equally well done. I also recommend SEA SWEPT by nora Roberts, MURDER DOESN'T FIGURE by Fred Yorg and PERFECT by Judith McNaught.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I enjoyed this one
Review: My daughter, Angelique, gave me this book ages ago and keeps asking if I have read it yet. I should have listened to her because it was very enjoyable. After 30 years of silence, Sloan Reynolds, a policewoman, receives a phone call and invitation from her father, Carter Reynolds. A member of the rich jet set, he wants Sloan to come out to Palm Beach to get to know him and her sister. At first Sloan refuses, furious that he has called after all this time. When FBI agent Paul Richardson shows up and explains that Reynolds is under investigation, she agrees to meet her father and work undercover. Along the way Sloan meets multimillionaire, Noah Maitland, and falls in love. She also gets to know her sister, Paris, who was taken away by her father when they were babies. The only thing that bothers Sloan is she can't tell Noah or her sister that she is really a policewoman.

The book has suspense, romance, and a murder that kept me turning the pages. Now I know why Judith McNaught is one of Angelique's favorite writers. She has already recommended another
book for me to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read!
Review: I first listened to the audio book and I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to read the actual book. This was a wonderful story. Noah Maitland was an exceptional hero, gorgeous, secretive, dangerous and very witty. Sloan was a most unlikely heroine for him, but it was brought together perfectly. I even enjoyed the other romances that developed and I enjoyed his relationship with his sister Courtney. This is one of her best and you won't want to miss it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Fast Read
Review: It is the 1st JM book I've read and I enjoyed it. I did feel alittle let down by the ending. I was looking forward to more on Sara and Jessup - and where did the relationship between Douglas and Sloan's Mother come from - who cares?! All in all, I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading another JM book in the future.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not what I expected...disapointed
Review: I think this could've been a much better book had the male lead been someone else. I was very disapointed in his vague character and how we never got to know him very well. The story also dragged a little and I was almost hoping the female lead would go with the other guy. Not good, lol. The end left too many strings left untied and I felt like it was done without ever explaining what happened to the key people involved.

~Sloan Reynolds, a dedicated detective from Bell Harbor, Florida is summoned to meet her abesentee father and sister in Palm Beach. Her father, a rich and privileged man hasn't seen or spoken to his other daughter since she was a baby. He has had a heart attack and has called on her to meet him and her sister Paris, but Sloan wants nothing to do with the man who abandoned her and her mother so many years ago.
Sloan's mind his changed when an FBI agent named Paul Richardson informs her he needs her to infiltrate her father's home with him as her 'boyfriend' so he can gather the needed evidence to prove her father, Carter Reynolds is involved in fraud, conspiracy, and murder.

Sloan is right on the mark until she meets her father's neighbor, Noah Maitland, a very powerful multinational corporate player and one of the FBI's top suspects! She is hopelessly attracted to the tall, dark and handsome playboy, but she has a job to do. Can her heart seperate her love for him or will it be her and his downfall?
In a complicated web of deceit and passion and hope and fear, can Sloan help the FBI find the players involved and still keep her heart intact, or will the web uncover so much pain and lies that she will run...

I was under the impression this was more of a suspense/romance, but it isn't and soon the little suspense that is sprinkled inbetween the story becomes lost amoung the flailing romance between Sloan and Noah. McNaught is one of my favorite authors, and this just isn't one of her better books. Skip it and read another from this talented writer such as "Kingdom of Dreams", "Perfect" or "Whitney My Love".
--She has another suspense/romance coming out in 2002 called "Water's Edge", I hope it will be more to what I love from her...

Summary: Why no 0 stars for the choices?
Review: Judith should have just used her time rewriting Miracles instead of this book and the even worse Remember When. What a waste of time.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Judith McNaught, You Could've Done Better!
Review: Like many readers here, I am a dedicated fan of JM. I love all her books, but this one didn't really 'click' with me. The romance in this book was entirely lacking because I could not tell where they fell in love, I knew they were attracted to each other, but lets face the facts, lust is not love. In addition, I didn't really like the character of Noah in the first place because JM doesn't describe him enough to make the readers feel that we know him; thus, I did not sympathize with him at all. If I had not read Perfect and Paradise before I read this book, I would consider Night Whispers to be a great book. Unfortunately, I've read those two books and I know how well Judith McNaught can write and how good her stories could be that I am just not satisfied with this book at all.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Too bad!
Review: I am a big Judith McNaught fan so I was disappointed when I bought and read this book. I really didn't buy the characters' love for each other. When and how did it happen and why?

Don't let this discourage you from buying other Judith McNaught books. Some of her other novels are absolutely breathtaking!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Avoid this book
Review: This book was not up to Judith McNaught's typical standards. There was little to no character development, and by the end of the book, you really just didn't care what happened to the people involved. This book would have been ok as a mystery, but as a romance, it fell short. The romance between Sloan and Noah plodded along, and you never really began care whether or not they can overcome the obsticles in their way. In the end I walked away from this book very disappointed. If you haven't read Judith McNaught, don't start with this one, go read Perfect or Until You to see how amazingly Ms. McNaught can write.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Unless you're a diehard J.M. fan...
Review: If you're not than chose one of her others all of which I have enjoyed. I wouldn't give any of her other books less than 4 1/2. This book however was such a disappointment, particularly for such a best selling author! The only adjective for it is Lukewarm. Though she uses her usual base plot line, the main characters had zero chemistry and the subplot of a potential romance between two other characters peters out about halfway into the book going absolutely nowhere. The book just stops mentioning them and quite frankly I was relieved. Those long pauses between the action were even more boring than the rest of the book. There is also some information given about the suspense that is set up to be important at the time however is never mentioned again... The plot drags, the suspense is sketchy, the passion droops, and the characters lack anything charismatic enough to make them come alive. All in all a poorly woven book.
