You don't have to decide now.'ĪHHHH! This review probably won't make sense because I have so much to say about this book and right now I am just so incredibly emotionally overwhelmed to think straight.įirst, Judith McNaught is officially my author of the moment. I'd like six,' he teased, his lips against her temple. 'We'll be a family,' he continued, describing the paradise he was offering while he bent his head to her again. It's a package deal.' Meredith wallowed audibly, mesmerized by the melting look in his silver eyes and the rich timbre of his deep voice. In an aching, solemn voice he said, 'I'll give you paradise on a gold platter. 'What else could you possibly give me if I move in with you?' 'Paradise.' Lifting his head, Matt took her chin between his thumb and forefinger and forced her to meet 'Six million dollars and the whole world!' she said in a slightly shaky voice. Unable to turn her face farther because his arm was in the way, and unable to turn her body because his body was in the way, Meredith tried to infuse disdain in her voice and simultaneously ignore the arousing touch of his tongue against her ear. But if you'll move in with me,' he continued, dragging his mouth across her cheek to the corner of her lips, 'I'll do much better than that.'

It is set in Chicago, actually the last few books I have read have been set in Chicago, is this an omen that I must return to visit this wonderful city! But theirs is not a straightforward Happily Ever After. Meredith Bancroft, the Princess, living in the mansion, attending the Country Club… Matthew Farrell, the farmboy, from Indiana, with his Irish roots … Loved the two main characters, Matt and Meredith. But it does not take away from the fantastic writing and characters in the book. Does it seem dated? A little bit, the fact that there are no mobile phones, some of the descriptions of the dresses etc.

This book was written nearly 25 years ago. I have read her Historicals and they have been solid, five stars for me. This is my first contemporary by Ms McNaught. Won’t say too much about it and won’t give too many quotes as it just needs to be read and felt…. As good, if not better the second (or maybe it is the third) time around.
