La familia Wyatt, una de las más ricas e importantes de Chicago, está pasando unos momentos bastante difíciles. A las misteriosa muerte de Edward Wyatt, futuro heredero, se une la no menos enigmática desaparición, hace ya más de medio año, de William Wyatt, el hijo de Edward. Estos dos hechos han coincidido con la aparición de Mitchell Wyatt, el hijo bastardo de Edward.

I must have read this back when it first came out and then forgot about it. That's why I'm on Goodreads! Still I liked it at this second reading. Plenty of angst. I don't really like books where there is a big misunderstanding that separates the characters but every once in a while it's okay if the rest of the book is well done. The writing is good here. The emotions are realistic and intense. The end could have been a bit longer. The mystery could have been stronger. ( )

Quickie Review

Boring and drawn out.
Couldn't care less about the characters and the mystery is contrived.
The secret baby theme is not a favorite of mine but it is handled quite well and is the only redeeming quality. ( )

Digital audio read by Laura Dean

Excerpted from the book jacket: Kate Donovan never dreamed that a chance romantic encounter on a tropical island paradise would involve her in a high-society murder case. But after she tangles with the darkly charismatic Mitchell [Wyatt], Kate finds herself a player in a lethal game of guilt and deception.

My reactions
Okay, I knew it was a romance novel going into it. Still the writing was just dreadful – full of stereotypical characters, romance tropes and clichés. I kept laughing out loud as I listened because it was so bad. However … it’s is markedly better than the publisher’s blurb on the book jacket (though that’s not saying much).

That being said, it was hugely entertaining. It was a fast read (or listen) and I enjoyed it. I can certainly see why McNaught is a best-selling author.

The audio book is read by Laura Dean, and she does a fine job. Too bad she doesn’t have better material to work with. ( )

I was very disappointed reading this book. I've read "Paradise" froths author and even though it's a huge book I enjoyed it very much. So when I found this one available in my library I promptly borrowed it. Big mistake.
There's cheating and that's a big no-no for me. It's a very predictable story.

I like the hero, Mitchel Wyatt but I couldn't stand the heroin. She was a dumbass cheater.

Very, very disappointing. ( )
