Book Description:
This copy is the special edition which includes bonus scenes. 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 WyattÂ’s eightieth birthday, all the money in the world wonÂ’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 KateÂ’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.

Kate Donovan is on a tropical island when she meets and falls in love with Mitchell Wyatt. Great story although it was a little predictable. Nice light contemporary romance with a small portion of suspense thrown in.

This novel has its faults, a tried and true storyline that feels like it's pieces of her other novels and the original ending was a bit abrupt. I'm a bigger fan of her historical novels but I have liked all of her contemproaries thus far but EBYT fell a bit flat for me. However, when the paperback was released, McNaught reworked the ending (I think due to the outcry from her fans that something wasn't right about it) and it flows MUCH nicer now and the ending is perfect. Still not her best work but if you are going to read this novel, make sure you read the paperback.

This book was ok. It was a little drawn out and very perdictable.

Part mystery, part romance, but it's all good. Even my husband, who typically goes for more masculine stuff, read and enjoyed the book.

Venture into this story and you'll realize the author is a master of setting the stage for a major story. Characters reveal their depth very quickly, the plot is right there for the taking in the first few pages and the scenes advance with style and at a rapid pace. And yet, the book is long enough for a fast reader to enjoy several sittings. A great read. A romance with lots of trepidation and guilt and fate and a glorious ending after a bit more suspense.
I can't wait to get another one of her books.

Really enjoyed this one. Mitchell Wyatt is used to the world of the rich and jaded, and is surprised by the unique sincerity and charm of Kate Donovan. He doesn't know if she is for real, and pulls information from her without providing any intimate background information about himself. He has learned not to give pieces of himself away, but she cannot be intimate with someone she does not know. They both take the chance, make mistakes, and learn to love.
OMG! McNaught did it again....I did not want to put this book down! A must read romance novel. Strong characters, great scenes, and funny and witty quotes.

Wonderful story full of excitement and romance. Loved it.
Took me a little longer to get through but it was worth it. I liked the main characters and the storyline was well done.

They met in paradise: Kate Donovan, the beautiful self-made Chicago restranteur, and Michael Wyatt, ruthless bussinessman, scion of the fabulously wealthy Wyatt family who Kate soon finds won't take no for an answer. During their idyll on the tropic island of Anguilla, Kate and Michael lower their defenses and surrender all inhabitions- slowly at first, then in a rush of emotions unlike anything either of them has ever known.
But their heaven crumbles when Michael is summoned home for questioning in the disappearance of his half brother. Amid a media firestorm, he retreats into his world of privilege and power,leaving Kate to question everything she knows about her darkly mysterious lover: Is he in fact the culprit in this high profile case? What secrets lay buried in his past and is someone trying to sabitoge their relationship?
Kathleen B. (Well developed plotline. Easy-to-like characters.
