Summary: Still Sighing...
Review: How I wish that every romance novel I read could be as captivating as Judith McNaught's novels all seem to be. It's such a disappointment to actually finish the book and be unable to read more about characters you've grown to love.

Of course in this case, Matt and Meredith appear in the sequel to Paradise called Perfect. So I felt a bit better when I finished Paradise knowing that I would read more about them.

Rarely am I so drawn in and mesmorized by fictional characters. These people became real to me and I honestly felt as though I was right there with them... feeling what they felt... and thoroughly falling in love with Matt myself. Oh my God... he is the ultimate man. Why on earth can't men like that really exist in the real world??

I melted when he finally realized the things he had believed all those years were lies because he so sweetly softened and became determined to keep Meredith as his own. He truly believed they were meant for each other... soulmates. Judith writes so beautifully that I believed it too! I rooted for them from page one through to the end.

The only problem I had with this novel and it is a small one... is that the first bit of the book had about 2 chapters that were only about their businesses and nothing else. Long paragraphs that stretched on forever droning on about their conference meetings and such. I do understand it may have been benificial to the plot... but it was slow reading for me at that point. Thankfully... the story picked up after those 2 chapters and I was captivated and engrossed from there on in.

Don't miss this book or the one after it... Perfect. They are keepers!!

Summary: Absolutely enchanting!
Review: Don't begin this book unless you've got a lot of spare time on your hands because once you begin, you won't be able to put it down! I got it a year or so ago from my library and so enjoyed it that I bought my own hardcover copy so I could read it again whenever I wanted to. This is a stunning, touching and sometimes heart-wrenching love story about a rich young woman and a poor guy. Judith McNaught shines with this work, along with her Night Whispers, Perfect and Remember When. However, I think I enjoyed this one a bit more. It was absolutely perfect. A breathtaking love story! It deserves more than 5 stars.

Summary: UNFORGETABLE!!
Review: I read almost all of Judith's historical bestseller, and guest what?! Paradise is so different from those of her novels, and I was surprised how Judith could still present her story for the contemporary world. If any of you ever liking Danielle Steel's and Sydney Sheldon's works- Paradise has their "between" storyline WITH Judith Mcnaught's special touch...and it is special. Two things I found most distinct in the story is that her female character who are always head strong,witty and too vibrant in the historical novels is indeed calm, serene and (less foolish) here. The change is so refreshing and somehow it is more mature. Secondly, it was ALMOST always the male character who at the end chasing after his love... but in Paradise? Well, you just have to find out yourself how Judith leads her heroine to her hero. Overall is an enjoyable story, I didn't want it to end... and such unforgetable characters!

Summary: A book you won't mind reading again and again!
Review: This book is NOT just a typical romance novel. It offers so much more that it's hard to know where to start. This is a read that gets you so involved that it will outrage you, make you laugh out loud, smile, gasp in disbelief and fall in love with the characters. Over the years, I've read this book so many times, with the story never disapointing me, and loaned it out repeatedly that I finally had to buy another copy. If I ever meet JM, this book is the one I would want her to sign for me. It's amazingly well written, intellectual, complex and satifying. Don't miss out. It's well worth your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fanstasy-like Book
Review: I loved this book because Matt was so smart and he could have anyone but he chose her. I fell in love with him more than I did with the female character. Nevertheless I understood the female character and supported her throughout the book and i truly like the secondary romance. This book and "shades of twilight" are my two favorite books in all of the romance catergories.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mesmerizing
Review: This was my very first Judith McNaught, and I am just soooo happy I read it. Once I find an author I enjoy, I have this tendency to read every single book they have, and then I have to find someone new which can be very difficult.

Judith McNaught was this someone new. I absolutely adore this book. I have it in paperback, and I've worn it out rereading it, and managed to find it in hardcover. Buy it in hardcover if you can find it, because you will return to it time and time again when faced with a book drought so to speak.

I laughed and cried with Matt and Meredith. You become such a part of their world, and feel that you know these people. And boy does she leave you wanting more and more. I know that she can't write about these characters forever, but I sure would love another trip into Matt and Meredith's lives.

Pick this book up as soon as you can, and you'll never want to put it down again. If you've never read a Judith McNaught book, this is one of the best places to start. I've read every book of hers within 6 months, and I'm just dying for more. Unfortunately, I'm back in that book drought again, but at least I have the Farrell's to come home to. :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Touching, poignant love story
Review: This was a truly awesome book. I've read the book a number of times and I'm still touched by the special, magical, once-in-a-lifetime love that Meredith and Matt shared. Both the hero and heroine are strong, well developed characters and JM has written it so well that you actually feel what the lead characters are going through. Scenes from the book remained with me long after I had finished the book. Though the book tends to drag in between and you're waiting for Matt and Meredith to meet again it was worth it. A must read and a definite addition to your romance novel collection !!!
