Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

Multimillionaire Cecil Wyatt's son is dead, and one of his grandsons, William, goes missing just when his long-lost grandson, Mitchell, arrives in Chicago. The police suspect Mitchell, who has a reputation for being ruthless in business, of foul play. Kate Donovan, who is engaged to Cecil's lawyer, meets Mitchell while vacationing in a tropical paradise and, of course, falls in love. Laura Dean portrays the Wyatts with strident tones while gracing Donovan with a soft, lilting voice. While the police are characterized as hard-boiled and the lawyer ruthless, the rest of the narrative is read in a more natural tone clearly and smoothly. Although McNaught's plot is thin, the romance captures the listener's attention.

Product Description

Unforgettable characters, sizzling romance, and riveting suspense: These are the trademarks of beloved author Judith McNaught. With millions of devoted fans and ten New York Times bestsellers to date, McNaught is a writer whose work just gets better with each new novel–and Every Breath You Take is the book readers have been waiting for. Returning to the lavish Chicago setting of her popular novel Paradise, and revisiting some of that book’s characters as well, this story will captivate in inimitable Judith McNaught style.

High atop a snow-covered hill, the stately old Wyatt mansion is perched like a crown, its stone spires pointing upward, its stained glass windows glowing like colorful jewels. Such opulence means success and, surely, happiness. But on the eve of wealthy philanthropist Cecil Wyatt’s eightieth birthday, all the money in the world won’t bring back his missing grandson, William Wyatt. The only thing for certain: Foul play was involved.

The family, the police, the media–all have tried in vain to discover the young man’s fate. Now suspicion has turned shockingly toward William’s own half-brother, the rather distant and enigmatic Mitchell Wyatt.

Kate Donovan never dreamed that a chance romantic encounter on a tropical island paradise would tag her as a suspect in a high-society murder case. But after Kate tangles with the darkly charismatic Mitchell Wyatt, she finds herself cast in a shadow of guilt and mistrust. As the Chicago police tighten their net, it will take all of Kate’s ingenuity to clear her name. With her calm, cool wit, and the help of a man who may or may not be a dangerous catch, Kate vows to claim the life and love she desires.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decidedly flat., Oct 22 2008
By GinRobi (Timmins, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
Mitchell Wyatt grew up as an orphan, a `charity case'. Sure, he had the best education money can buy, but he had no one to claim him as part of their family. He spent holidays with friends from school, but that never lasted once they found out he was a `charity case'. But when Stavros Konstantatos took Mitchell under his wing, he taught Mitchell everything he knew, and Mitchell learned well.

Now a self-made billionaire, Mitchell can afford the best of the best, and now that the Wyatt family is claiming him as family, Mitchell doesn't want to feel anything for the man who made sure he'd disappear out of their lives as a newborn. But Mitchell's half brother was different. William hadn't known that Mitchell existed, and tried his very best to include Mitchell in his life. But then William disappears without a trace, and the DA swears it's because of Mitchell and is trying to build a case to prove it. Meanwhile, Mitchell is on vacation aboard a friend's yatch in Anguilla.

Kate Donovan recently lost her father in an apparent drive-by shooting. Her boyfriend, Evan, whisks her away to Anguilla to help her grieve, only to leave her there as he is summoned back in court. Then she meets Mitchell, and as much as neither wants to believe, they are drawn to each other.

But as luck would have it, they get one incredible night together, but that wouldn't last. While Kate returns to her villa to pack her things, intending to break up with Evan, Mitchell is summoned back to the states, now a suspect in his brother's murder now that his corpse has been found. When Kate explains to Evan that she's leaving him for Mitchell, he tells her it was a set up on Mitchell's part as he's sure Mitchell knew Kate was his girlfriend. When Kate tries to find Mitchell, she believes that he's left without her and believes that she could still be with Evan.

But those aren't in the cards. Mitchell finds out who Kate is and believes she'd set him up, just as she him. They split ways, but when Kate finds out she's pregnant with his child, Evan wants an abortion, something Kate refuses to do.

And now she's alone. She'd managed to make a name for herself in the restaurant business and is raising a child on her own. But when her son is kidnapped with a ransom of 10 million, she knows she has no choice but to hunt down Mitchell. She hadn't told him about their son, having remembered what he'd said about his previous wife wanting kids and he didn't, which resulted in divorce. She didn't want to burden him, but with the kidnapping, she has no choice to involve him for he is the only one she knows who would have that kind of money.

So, with that synopsis, I can honestly say: Read it, thought it was *shrug* okay. While it wasn't a waste of a read, I don't think I'd have picked this up if it wasn't for a book of the month. I'm not one for a straight romance - to me, they all start the same and finish the same. I've read this scenario so many times that I just really couldn't get into it. While I felt Kate was somewhat real, and there seemed to be sparks between them, I felt Mitchell really didn't have anything to him. You read what he's feeling and that for him it's not normal, but it fell flat - deja vu.

I was hoping for more of a case with the murder of his brother, but it was sidelined. And the kidnapping... I expected it right when I find out she's raising him on her own. And again, the main characters had no part in finding their son, just like they weren't part of William's investigation. While the book is almost 500 pages long, the ending was rather abrupt and I didn't like it. I just need more `kick', more `oomph' in a story - something this book just didn't give me.

But I won't say is was a bad book. For me, straight romance just doesn't cut it. But for those who like nothing but romance, you may enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Like Her Classic Romances...Almost!, Feb 12 2006
By Kristi Ahlers (Illinois) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Every Breath You Take (Hardcover)
Ms. McNaught's latest effort is a tad reminiscent of what this highly talented author wrote in the past. This could be due to the fact she has brought characters from her first contemporaries "Perfect" and "Paradise" or it could be that she has gone about and crafted her characters the way she used to. In any event this book although not stellar is a nice treat for fans of this long time author.

Mitchell Wyatt has just found out that he is actually related to the Wyatt's of Chicago. This is not good news to the handsome successful businessman and when his half brother William forces the issue and comes to visit Mitchell. When William goes missing, Mitchell returns to Chicago to his sister-in-law, and nephew. But as time goes by the police like Mitchell for the disappearance of William. A snowy winter night and his grandfather's birthday is going to be the catalyst to bring together all of the players. Mitchell is going to find out that fate has plans for him.

Kate Donovan is on a tropical island, her long-term boyfriend has left her because of her job and before she knows it she has been swept away into romantic interlude with a man named Mitchell who is secretive about himself, but is a charming and handsome, and makes her feel things Evan her long time boyfriend never did. Vowing to leave her boyfriend and continue her relationship with Mitchell things go awry and misunderstandings pull these two lovers apart. What will happen when the truth is spoken and secrets are revealed?

I loved Mitchell and Kate. They were character Ms. McNaught used to create with her older titles. This was not a story that I would write off and it is actually better then some of her more recent efforts. I take this as a sign that perhaps she is on her way back. I would like to see her return to penning her historical novels. This was fair effort on her part and the storyline and character development was more along the lines of her classic romances...not exactly but reminiscent of what she used to offer fans.

Enjoyable and fabulous read I thoroughly enjoyed. Judith McNaught is a wondeful romance author. I rate this book up there with Fire In The Ice by Katlyn Stewart.
