Refreshing Book!

This is the first Judith McNaught book that I read and I hate to disagree with those who found it disappointing. I thoroughly enjoyed the story but shared the view that the hero, Noah, might seem a bit arrogant and too full of himself, and he should not deserve such a kind and caring heroine. However, I have to give credit to Ms McNaught's inclusion of the funny characters, Douglas and Courtney. Both of them made me laugh especially the out-spoken teenage Courtney. She bursted out remarks and questions that were embarrassing and unexpected to the audience which caused them a little off-balance. This might sound outrageous but it had the effect of breaking the ever proper and trite atmosphere that adults would conduct in behavior and carry in conversation, making the read more enjoyable and different from other stories. Nice touch, Ms McNaught!

Night Whispers Book Review

I gave Night Whispers five stars because I couldn't put the book down. It was really interesting and exciting. If you enjoy romantic novels with a twist of mystery, then you'll love this book. It's mysterious because you can guess who killed Sloan's grandmother. Sloan is over twenty years old and has only known her grandmother for a little over a week. If you want to know the rest, pick up this book and read it.

A very good read

Sloan Reynolds was raised by her mother Kimberly in Bell Harbor, Florida where she is now a member of the police force. As an infant, her wealthy father Carter divorced Kimberly and took custody of one of their two daughters, Paris. Though Sloan is curious about her father and her sibling, she is irked when she learns that Carter, who recently suffered a heart attack, wants to see her.Sloan plans to reject the offer to meet the rest of her family in ritzy Palm Beach, but changes her mind when FBI agent Paul Richardson approaches her.
