In fact, when I realized Matt and Meredith were going be near each other for the first time in that snooty country club, I was like… The way they meet and react to each other, reads like that was always bound to happen and couldn’t have been anyway else. Both the hero and the heroine, Meredith and Matt, are perfectly in tune with their times, their circumstances and families.

Paradise, by Judith McNaught, a writer I have recently come across and have come to love, is one read I knew was going to be special while I was just finishing the first chapter.įirst I’d like to commend the author for the way she wrote all the characters, main or otherwise. Will they be able to believe in each other - and grasp the tender miracle that is before them? As tensions build between them, bittersweet memories rise to the surface, leaving them suspicious, restless, and uncertain. Now, as the Bancroft firm is threatened by a hostile takeover, Meredith is forced to confront Matt. A long way from the country club where, feeling like an outsider, he had dared to fall in love with a beautiful blonde named Meredith Bancroft, and known a once-in-a-lifetime passion and betrayal that sill haunted his memory… Now world leaders courted him, the media watched his every move, and he was ready to move in on the Bancroft empire.Ī cool, poised executive in her family’s legendary department store chain, Meredith had once defied her father for the sexually magnetic, intense Matt Farrell - and their brief, ill=fated marriage was the disastrous outcome. Book Blurb- Corporate raider Matthew Farrell had come a long way from the poor, scruffy kid of Indiana’s steel mills.
