Paradise by Judith McNaught - A Review

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Paradise is an emotional roller coaster that left me both exhilarated and exhausted by the end of the 709 page book. It's one of those books where you can't wait to get to the end to see how it all gets resolved, yet at the same time, you don't ever want the experience of reading the story to come to an end.

It begins with the story of Meredith Bancroft's childhood. Her father banished his wife from their lives when Meredith was a baby, because he believed she'd been promiscuous. In an effort to ensure Meredith didn't have a chance of being like her mother, Phillip Bancroft exerts unfair restrictions and control over Meredith's childhood, effectively robbing her of it. So instead of a normal childhood, Meredith grows up in a world of privilege, yet terrible loneliness. She acts as her father's business hostess and absorbs and loves everything about the Bancroft department store, which is her family heritage.

Matthew Farrell comes from a life of early responsibility and hard work. He's a steel mill worker with big dreams, ambition and drive.

On the night they first meet, Meredith rescues Matt in a social situation. He doesn't particularly care about being ostracised by some snobs, but Meredith goes out of her way to ensure he's include and she captivates him. When her father over reacts to her being in Matt's company, she decides, in her anger, that she might as well act in a manner commensurate with the way her father treats her. When Matt does the honourable thing by then marrying Meredith, her father is livid and stops at nothing to drive them apart.

The story resumes 11 years later, when Matt and Meredith are both successful and wealthy, each still believing the lies that had led to them hating each other.

As Meredith and Parker, her childhood crush, are planning for their wedding, they discover that Meredith and Matt's divorce isn't legal.

Forced together to resolve the situation, Matt and Meredith piece together what went wrong during their brief marriage and along the way, their attraction to each other is rekindled, helped along by their admiration for each other as successful business people. Matt recognises that he's never completely gotten over Meredith and proposes an outrageous situation in his determined effort to keep her as his wife.

It is a far from smooth journey and the incidents and interactions keep the reader totally unable to predict from which angle the next hurdles and solutions will appear. The reader is treated to some thoroughly enjoyable dialogue exchanges throughout the book.

Something that would have been nice to have had included in the book is the reunion between Meredith and her mother.

Another thing I'd have changed is that I wouldn't have had Meredith forgiving her father so easily, or sacrificing her wishes in order to help save her father, after all the reprehensible things he'd done to ruin her and Matt's relationship. I could have strangled Meredith's father at many points during the book.

Paradise is humorous, sad, clever and poignant all at the same time. A really touching, memorable piece of fiction.

Book Review for: Lord and Lady Spy
Written by: Shana Galen

Avail as: ebook & print
5 Stars

Galen fashions a witty and sharp story filled with action, adventure, mystery, and romance with "Lord and Lady Spy." It's 1815 in England and Adrian Galloway, Viscount Smythe, works for the top secret Barbican Group, spearheaded by Lord Melbourne. Now, however, the war is over and Adrian is left with nothing to do but go home to his wife.

Sophia Galloway, Viscountess Smythe, is Agent Saint, one of the top spies in the Barbican Group. She's fearless, full of adventure, and firmly believes in following her intuition. Sadly, the war is over and she's left to go home to her husband.

While Adrian and Sophia are top spies for England, their marriage is full of loneliness. Sophia disguises herself by wearing frumpy dresses and Adrian uses his gentleman club as an excuse to stay away. Adrian and Sophia have suffered several miscarriages which have put distance between them.

When a mission to solve a murder for Lord Liverpool presents itself, Adrian and Sophia separately go to the meeting, but soon discover the others' Barbican identity. Both are shocked to learn the other is a spy and both are equally impressed. Realizing they have more in common than they previously thought, can they work as a team to solve Liverpool's mystery and save their marriage?

Galen's fast paced, action filled plot has the reader hanging on to the edge of their seat, anxious to find out what will happen next. Galen's voice is fresh and witty, drawing the reader effortlessly into the story with her humor. Galen's writing style is easy to read and enjoy.

The best part of the novel is the rich characterization. Adrian is driven to prove himself loyal to his county, partly because of the sins of his father and partly in an attempt to heal the emptiness left by Sophia's miscarriages. Adrian truly loves his wife, but until he discovers her true identity, he doesn't realize what an amazing gem she really is.

Sophia lives for the thrill of being a spy, hiding her self behind dowdy skirts. She loves Adrian with all her heart, but is terrified of giving her a marriage an honest chance once Adrian learns who she really is.

Galen uses a good economy of words to paint a wonderful canvas for Adrian and Sophia's escapades. The mystery and sense of danger totally draws the reader into the story.

The love scenes are deliciously spicy and full of emotion. Galen delights and entertains with "Lord and Lady Spy."

Blumen aus the Storm von Laura Kinsale - eine Rezension

Christian Langland, Duke of Jervaulx in flowers from the storm is introduced, he is in the middle of a tryst with his married lover. Everything is Hisunrepentant sleek as planned, until his beloved husband comes home. Jervaulx a light stroke, is experience without knowing what actually happens, to himself. A few days later, when he is called in a duel, Jervaulx suffers a second, larger stroke which makes him literally speechless.

In the unenlightened times, he is mentally ill, judged as his speech is almost completely compromised. He can form not correct sentences, he screams and rants and is offensive. He can not write, nor remember the names of everyday objects and also his understanding appears to be broken. He can now no longer a previously expert shot, sports and outdoor, its own clothing button. The messages between his brain and his hands not to link and he can explain even these people. As a result his family tells a ' him progressive' lunatic asylum, where he treated animal like a cage.

Prior to his strokes, the Duke was a mathematical genius who, on paper, discuss a new mathematical theory together with blind Quaker John Timms, worked. Timm's daughter Archimedea (Maddy) serves as the eyes of her father and his caregiver is. It was both fascinated and repulsed Jervaulx and his wild, worldly wise. Maddy and her father, along with the rest of the public, have led to believe that the duel the Duke died.

A few months after the Christian stroke Maddy and her father can be found also on the asylum where Maddy will support her cousin Edward, running the institution for the financially wealthy, life. When she around led to meet patients, she is amazed to discover that a side effects, wild Jervaulx among the inmates. Typically a volatile patient, in his frustration at its holder lashes out when he detects Maddy, he soothes. It is then entitled his daytime caregiver become and he latches on them like a lifeline. Realized during their interactions, Maddy, what tortures his grace not madness, but frustration: "he is not crazy, but."

Maddy is dedicated to easing the Duke fears, helps him to communicate and, when she learns that he must be a competence hearing face (inspired by his greedy related) or lose his title and his freedom forever solves to do what they can to prepare him. He converts it into escape with him and him to keep to his family and to try again to even marry his Kingdom. Misadventures, manipulation, and deception occur on the road with death grip on Maddy Jervaulx, hold while they out and is torn between him help and keep their Quaker true ideal.

He needs her so much that he is doing everything that you completely ignore him, her reluctance. She loves him in spite of himself and feels that she lose their identity - and it is. She loses what they most - values its identity as a Quaker. Holds the thing you go is that she believe it is their duty, under the direction of God's light, a Christian from the hell of the detention, brutality and humiliation of the asylum and his humanity again help him.

Maddy is an unusual heroine that she no young Hoyden. She has no idea about the realities of Georgian aristocratic economies. If it proposes indebted Duke, nor more debt accumulate, give to a large ball, they rebelled not to understand a society where perception, not reality, the day rules.

This book a hero who does not fully selbstbeherrt is unique in presenting perfectly and in control. It has a hero who purchases a real vulnerability yet still possible be man for him leading a strong. He must also overcome, his contempt for the Maddy embodies and learn to respect their humility and simplicity and clarity of ownership and lifestyle.

In a sense, this is a low-key love story, while Maddy obviously cares for Jervaulx, some lack of expected romanticism. He Court cannot with his financial wealth and he has her Quaker upbringing constantly fighting. She is thrust into the rich and materialistic world of living aristocracy, but the fighting to their faith and their integrity to keep how she unintentionally tortured Duke in love with them. The principles of thrift, honesty and total abstinence from carnal temptations Jervaulx of the world seem completely non-existent. Therefore, she often shows resistance on many different levels.

The language in the book is sometimes difficult, between the you/you go style of Quaker speech and the hero of stroke damaged listen and slurred, incoherent words. Having said that, can the dialogue that touch between Jervaulx and Maddy, frustrating amusing and be.

Jervaulx creates draw Maddy on their emotional reserve to enjoy teaching and appreciate physical pleasure.

Their fight in its own way reflects be. He loses its meaning for themselves and so they. Both have fight the massive personal change through the processes. Jervaulx says, makes him a better man. Maddy finally accepted that as a Duchess, they able to reach and help many people with their wealth, is although it doing in reality more complex walking.

The author gives the Duke also frustration, broken language and motor skills, and his needy investment Maddy as it matures in love. Maddy, then, is that repeatedly tests the limits of their faith against what she feels really dedicated to Jervaulx. This is a moving, wonderful story that is much more than just a light romance.

A Knight in shining armor by Jude Deveraux - a review

Not a fan of time travel, I pushed read "A Knight in Shining Armor" by Jude Deveraux, although it reads its way to a few lists of recommended romance makes. Surprisingly, I really enjoy.

It contains a number of similarities with the movie "Kate and Leopold", that the reader is exposed the reactions of the transported person to their new environment, meet the unusual customs, food, machinery, inventions and so on. It has also the tension and urgent element of people need a way of returning to their original time in history in a timely manner to prevent or facilitate to future events.

Dougless Montgomery considers himself an error when compared to her high siblings reach be. With their low self esteem she themselves used by her boyfriend, whom she lives with in America. While on vacation in England in 1988, she has a big argument with her boyfriend and his teenage daughter, until they in an old English church without money or passport to abandon her.

As she cries against the grave of a 16th century English Earl, she wants for a Knight in shining armor. Their cries are heard by Nicholas Stafford, Earl Thornwyck, which only now belongs to the grave, he stands directly in front of her. He tells her that their wines has called him from the year 1564, where he was expected, to execution for treason, crimes he not commit that. It takes quite a while for Dougless to believe that he is who he says he is, and for them to him on a search for him had framed. The longer they spend together, they feel closer to each other. Have discovered love and believe they have also discovered, who had betrayed Nicholas, they start to plan a life together in the 20th century. Returned without warning, Nicholas back to the 16th century. However, history has so far not changed - Nicholas was still executed.

In the Church again wines, is withdrawn four years prior to the Dougless around 1560. Although she is invited by Nicholas mother, in the House of the Stafford of family life, she has her work cut out for her attempt has their warnings to Nicholas to penetrate no memory or recognition of her at all when he and he clearly does not trust it. Time is against Dougless, as certain events start in movement for other events continue to occur, if they are printed in the history books is set.

Dougless is not the typical heroine overanxious and she can be hard, relate to the top because it is too much of a doormat with absolutely no spine. Therefore, a readers question whether you really more the book want to read the trouble can the first twelve pages of the chapter. Fortunately, it improves significantly when the friend and his daughter are no longer active with Dougless interaction. You some courage to develop, as her character in the book is growing.

The name 'Dougless' annoyed me especially at the beginning of the story. It slowed down except my read, how I keep, in my mind, verify that Yes, that is the female character is referenced.

Nicholas is not Knight a stereotypes. He was not in the beat and meet every need of the ailing heroine. He is strong, masculine, faithful, loving, intelligent, and they share a connection that takes the time to understand, to accept and to develop. Eventually they save each other with their souls be across each other intertwined over 400 years. The downside is that he is still a chauvinist, both in the 16th and 20th centuries. Nicholas is approaching so many modern elements with raw fascination.

Three quarters of the way through the book I was rooting for Dougless really, and Nicholas together until the end, but not in the position to imagine, as the author could happen as it make. Well, not you. There was no foreseeable end. Romantic, it was disappointing, although more if realistic can 'realistically' are applied, expected or at a time when history travel expected. People will probably either love or hate the end, it becomes bitter.

Some historical facts of the Elizabethan era were very interesting, but half of them were presented in a way that rather a lecture or a history lesson, instead is interwoven in the story was. We were told, rather than shown, and it sometimes dominates the story, leaving the developing relationship in the background.

A Knight in shining armor Jude Deveraux has prepared a realistic time travel experience a touching story.
