Customer Reviews

Magical McNaught!

I really don't understand the pans the new paperback edition is getting! Like some others, although I liked the hardcover, I was a bit disappointed with it. But - lucky for us - Ms. McNaught rolled up her sleeves and delivered a true Grand Slam with her revisions! The new edition is FABULOUS, with a fully fleshed out love story, satisfying explanations, and plenty of tugs at the heartstrings. I read it straight through, it was so good. I can't recommend it highly enough. By the way - what other author do you know who actually listens to her fans and rewrites a novel? Ms McNaught is definitely 5 stars in my opinion! (Oh - and read the teaser at the back of the book for Can't Take My Eyes Off of You - it's a tearjerker!)

Loved the added scenes

The new Special Edition is a must read for McNaught fans. The added scenes turn this book into a McNaught classic and leaves you with a smile on your face. The preview to her next book, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, gives her fans something to look forward to in 207.

Every Breath You Take-SE A Must Read

As one member of Judith McNaught's Bulletin Board claimed: "Every Breath You Take-SE has been McNaught-ized!" The added scenes and dialogue in the Special Edition make this a Judith McNaught keeper. As with all of her other novel's, Every Breath You Take-SE leaves the reader with a sense of contentment yet still not wanting to let go of the characters. The reader is given more insight into Kate, Mitchell and their son, Danny. We get to know and understand their relationship better. Some of the best additions are the interactions between father and son. This is a must read for those who have read the hardback and for those who haven't.

The new edition has EXACTLY what was missing....

Kate Donovan is vacationing in Anguilla after the death of her beloved father. Feeling lost and out of sorts, Kate hopes that having time away with her boyfriend, Evan, will be exactly what she needs to get back on track. What she doesn't expect is Mitchell Wyatt. Mitchell Wyatt leaves Chicago to travel to Anguilla so he can oversee the building of his home. When he meets a charming red head in a bar after she spills her drink on him, Mitchell is intrigued and wants to know more. After befriending her, he convinces her to have dinner with him. What follows is a love story that is poignant and romantic. As in most romances, there is certainly no lack of misunderstandings between these two. When Evan finally arrives on the island, Kate is ready to tell him that she has fallen in love with Mitchell. She is unprepared for the information he has regarding Mitchell and who he is. Kate is soon convinced that Mitchell came to Anguilla to single her out and get revenge. She flees the island, leaving Mitchell waiting at a pre-arranged spot, never guessing what lies ahead. After two years of separation, Kate and Mitchell must unite together to overcome an event that has the potential to be life-altering. It is in this part of the book that Judith McNaught has added to. While I enjoyed the first edition, this special edition really delves into the reunion between Kate and Mitchell and clarifies the misunderstandings that the two had. There is a small part that is suspense, but it is minute compared to the romance.

Special Edition is a must read!!!!

For all the reviewers that did not like this story, the special edition paperback version rounds out the story perfectly. Please read the new additions and you're sure to change your mind. Ms. McNaught did a great job clearing up the unresolved issues in the hard cover. So, everyone needs to buy the paperback SE. Especially if you have not read this novel.
