Ruthless corporate raider Matthew Farrell was poised to move in on the legendary department store empire owned by Chicago's renowned Bancroft family. In the glare of the media spotlight, it was a stunning takeover that overshadowed the electric chemistry between Matt, once a scruffy kid from steel town Indiana, and cool, sophisticated Meredith Bancroft. Their brief, ill-fated marriage sparked with thrilling sensuality -- he was the outsider who dared to rock her country club world -- and ended with a bitter betrayal. Now, locked in a battle that should be all business, dangerous temptations and bittersweet memories are stirring their hearts. Will they risk everything on a passion too bold to be denied?

Eine erfolgreiche Geschaftfrau will heiraten, und findet heraus dass die Scheidung von Ihrem Exmann (den Sie als junges schwangeres MAdchen geheirated hat) nicht gultig ist. Jetzt ist er ihr Konkurrent und sie wurde die kurze Ehe am liebsten vergessen. Klingt das kitschig? Glauben sie mir, Judith McNAught schreibt so fesselnd und glaubwurdig, dass mich der Roman richtig gepackt hat. Sie werden die erwarteten Klischees hier nicht finden. Ein Jahr spater denke ich noch oft daran, wie gemein der Vater der Heldin ihr Leben ruiniert hat - und ich habe seither mindestens 1000 andere Bucher gelesen (wirklich! ich lese so schnell)

While reading this book, you can feel all kinds of emotions like anger, grief, joy... Judith McNaught can always put emotions into her words and make the whole story come alive for readers. In this touching love story, Meredith's father is the major obsticle to her and Matt's relationship. He did everything within his power to stop the union and even the reunion of these lovers. So the story drags on for fiften years. Meredith and Matt were more mature but the wounds were too deep to enable them to be too civilised to each other, causing more hurt and anguish. Somehow, as the story goes along, old secrets were revealed. Meredith and Matt were on their way to a happy ending.
A GREAT love story... Cheers for Judith McNaught!

Paradise is a wonderful novel filled with complex, true-to-life characters who seem to jump from the page into your home. Matt Farrell is the ultimate hero and Meredith is the kind of woman we all hope to be. This is one of the best contemporary romances out there. I loved it!

Is worth fighting for as Matthew Farrell and Meredith Bancroft prove in this blissful book by Judith McNaught. This book will keep you riveted from the first! You'll experience so many emotions and such intense feelings -- love, hate, grief, joy, sadness, anger and frustration -- that when you're finished you'll feel like you've just stepped off an emotional roller coaster that left you wanting more. Remember to have a box of Kleenex handy when you begin -- you'll need them! Matthew and Meredith are some of the very best characters I've ever had the privilege to read about. They're true-to-life, three dimensional and so real that their emotions jump from the pages and weave themselves around you making the story come to life vividly. Matthew is the absolute definition of a romantic hero. Though hurt long ago by his true love he realizes he still wants her and does everything in his power to prove to her that they belong together. The way he stoically stands by his resolve to have Meredith for his own is beautiful. Though she feels betrayed by Matt, something inexplicably draws Meredith to him every time they meet. Watching Meredith burst free from the confines of her life that say she should not be with Matt is wonderful. The love between these two is explosive and oh-so-passionate! They have a deep and abiding love that even time and sordid lies could not kill. Ms. McNaught has a keen talent to make you experience her work and feel as if you've stepped into the story. Her secondary characters are just as fleshed out as her main characters and become quite real themselves. Meredith's father is a hard, bitter and selfish man who makes everyone's life miserable. I actually wanted to climb into the book and choke a fictional character! I really loved the way that Ms.... Lesen Sie weiter... ›

This was the greatest romance book I have ever read. In fact it is the greatest book that I have ever read. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. After I finished reading it I wanted to read again. I have already read it at least 5 times and it continues to be a tear jerker every time. If you love romances, this is a must. This book is so good that no other romance book can compair to it. After reading this book I have been very disappointed in all the other romances that I have read because they don't hold a candle to this book. It was an absolutely great book.

Super Buch. Es ist gut zu lesen, fesselt und die Geschichte ist nachvollziehbar. Die Hauptfiguren sind differenziert dargestellt und haben auch Fehler und Schwächen. Sind dadurch einfach menschlich und man muss sie mögen. Das Buch werde ich bestimmt noch mal lesen.
