Summary: Who Wrote This Dribble?
Review: Judith McNaught is usually wonderful, but this book was awful. Ramon gave me the creeps. Handsome, sure, but he was overbearing and bossy in a menacing way. Please, take this book off the shelves!

Summary: Ick!
Review: Judith McNaught is usually wonderful. I have read every book that she's written to date and enjoyed them all until this one. I still can't believe that JM wrote this! Go to a library and check it out if you're curious, but don't waste your money. There is no character development and this story is completely random, with no real flow or definite story line. Horrible. If you want to read a good book try any of her other books. I especially loved Paradise, Whitney, My Love, and Until You.

Summary: Top-notch work
Review: Katie and Ramon in "Tender Triumph" are wonderful characters. Ramon is a man among men--intelligent, sensitive, kind. Katie exhibits a wonderful wit mixed in with her bright mind. She hits the nail on the head when she exclaims that "not all women are born with a burning desire to grate cheese and chop onions." This is my favorite of all of Judith McNaught's stories.

Summary: Doesn't compare to any other JM book!
Review: Let me start by saying, I love Judith McNaught's work. I have all her books, and am waiting impatiently for the next one! BUT (you knew that was coming), this book pales next to any of the others. I never felt "attached" to any of the characters (I'm attached to all of her others, especially Jenny in A Kingdom of Dreams), and I never understood why Ramon would have wanted Katie anyhow. I could not be bothered to read this book even a second time (I barely got through it the first, but I kept reading thinking it had to get better!).

Summary: I didn't like it
Review: Like many others of you love, I JM but this book just plain old sucked! lol First of all Katie is an racist and Romon is an idiot. Yes I too got tired of hearing about her red hair and blue eyes. Any Hispanic person beside a produce truck has got to be the rider of it...ofourse! That really upset me. Like is she really that stupid?? Katie seemed like a clutz. And then she goes on to defend Ramon at the pool side when one of her friends call him a name and that is suppose to some how many her honorable??? And Ramon is just a big old bafoon. Ordering her to change her clothes when they were going out to the pool, not letting her work, and being ashamed to show her where he lived just because it wasnt like what she was used to??? I didnt even finish the book and I paid for it! I couldnt believe that this was JM either. I recomend Perfect and Paradise. I was so surprised to see that so many people didnt like it also cause I thought that I was the only one.

Summary: First book ive read of her..........
Review: maybe its because its my first book of her and i do not really expect so much.... this story is not really as intense as her other books...is much shorter...not much of her usual "misunderstanding" scenes but its good... alot might feel ridiculous that the woman is asked to leave all behind and follow him to some forgein place but mcnaught made it work out....
she is at first afraid to commit... then there are some problems and this book have mcnaught usual touching moments too..... its really great as a rather light reading after a stressful week and if you like her work but wanna avoid her usual more emotional books... this book might be the one for you....

Summary: Did she really write this??
Review: Oh Goodness! I figured this would be a great book considering it's by Judith McNaught. Boy was I wrong. I agree with everyone who says this is not a good example of her work. I've read almost all of her books and this is the only one that I haven't liked. It seems like it has good potential -- the back cover sounds interesting. But, it didn't grab my emotions like the other books and I didn't really like the characters. Ramon seemed really rude and weird.... really weird. If you're tempted to read this, get it at the library!

Summary: Give me a break!
Review: Ok, i'm a big fan of JM, but come on, the hero (if you could call him that) is so narrow minded! He believes that a women should have to live on what he provides and dosn't think it's right for her to go out and work. Then when Katie comes out in a skinny bathing suit he orders her to go change into something more sutible, that's bs, she has a right to wear whatever she wants, it wasn't like they were really dating yet. Also the plot is so unbelievable! Ramon expects Katie to marry him and go live with him in Puerto Rico living on basically nothing, but that's not even the point because i understand if you love someone you might be willing to live in poverty, but they knew each other a week at the most! So they expect you to believe that a girl whose rich and has a VERY well paying job will leave it all for a man she knows for a week and who tells her what to do! If you really want something good to read try PARADISE, PERFECT, and ALMOST HEAVEN all by Judith McNaught.
