Paradise Bay

Rating:
Summary: Breathtaking!
Review: That's the only word that will come to mind after finishing _Paradise Bay_. This was the first book I'd ever read by Victoria Alexander and I was definitely not disappointed. The characters are not only believable but endearing. Trish's sarcastic wit and conversations with herself will leave you laughing aloud and Jack's sensuality definitely turns up the heat. Thrust together under unusual circumstances, the passion that ignites between Trish and Jack almost burns the pages with the intensity. This book exudes an electricity that draws you in and leaves you powerless to resist. From the first page I couldn't put it down. You'll cry when Jack realizes he loves Trish and you'll hold your breath until Trish admits it herself. Smoldering romance that's sure to make you search out all of Ms. Alexander's work.

So, don't hesitate to read about the wonderful island of Paradise Bay . . .

Where the magic and the majestic scenery will cause you to do things you never would have before.

Summary: Paradise!
Review: Welcome to Paradise Bay - Where The Day Begins. When Trish Taylor found herself on the other side of the world from the safe, secure life she led in New York, she was less than overjoyed. But with her wedding to boring and predicable Elliot a mere 4 months away, her step-father felt she needed some time away from the wedding preparations to give some final thought to the relationship she was about to commit to for the rest of her life. Elliot was all wrong for Trish and Russ hoped Trish's time in paradise would make her see that.

Elliot was everything Trish wanted in her life. Safety. Stability. Security. There was no excitement or adventure with Elliot, but those things were overrated. Upon her arrival at Paradise Bay, Trish met Jack Kendall and discovered that the two of them would be working together to design and build a vacation resort on the island paradise. When she wasn't fighting with Jack, she began to question her plans for the future. Soon, Trish put thoughts of Elliot and her upcoming wedding aside and found herself thinking of Jack instead.

Jack was everything Elliot was not, and that both infuriated and intrigued Trish. And it wasn't long until she found herself drawn into the excitement and adventure that was Jack. But would his unknown family identity ruin his hopes for happiness with Trish?

Victoria Alexander has crafted a humorous tale with vivid imagery and multi-dimensional characters. If I was to be stranded on an island paradise to welcome the new millennium, I'd want that paradise to be "Paradise Bay" and my companion to be Jack Kendall. This book is a surefire winner. Don't pass it up!
