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.

"Nederlandse titel: Ademloos. Kate Donovan, een restaurantuitbaatster ontmoet op een paradijselijk eiland de meedogenloze erfgenaam Mitchell Wyatt. Ze beginnen een stormachtige en passionele romance op het eiland. Dan wordt Mitchell teruggeroepen voor de moord op zijn broer. Hij is de hoofdverdachte. Kate blijft wezenloos achter op het eiland. Is Mitchell de man die ze denkt dat hij is en is het waar wat de kranten schrijven over hem? Heel goed boek. Spannend en romantisch tegelijk. Ik had het heel moeilijk om te stoppen met lezen omdat het zo geschreven is dat je er helemaal in opgaat."

" i loved that great romantic special edition "
— Shahista, 2/15/2014" A good combination of romance and suspense. The stark difference in their personalities and goals made the plot more riveting and thrilling. Romantic and heated to the bone, it was a beautiful portrayal of love against all odds. "
— Jane, 2/15/2014" Judith McNaught has done it again. I cried and laughed as I read this book sometimes, I smiled and other times my heart skipped a beat. Beloved old friends Matt, Meridith, Julie and Zach all make several appearances Kate and Mitchell are totally believable. At times Mitchell reminded me of Jason Fielding from "Once and Always", and of all Judith McNaught's heroes Jason is one of the best. This book is not "A Kingdom of Dreams" or "Paradise" but it is well done and absolutely worth a read (or two). "
— Jeninne, 2/12/2014" i don't really think i like this whole love in the first sight thing in this particular book. it's just lack consistency compare to other McNaught's books. i can feel that it also lacks the passionate feel of the character. or it is just me? overall it's ok i think. "
— Umiey, 2/11/2014" Romance where miscommunication causes rift between lovers who eventually find their back to each other. Small subplot involving a mysterious disappearance and later a kidnapping. Enjoyable. "
— Mary, 2/2/2014" It was pretty good obviously cuz Judith wrote it but idk why it's not my fav.. I mean the plot made me unhappy! How she raised his son n he didn't even know n that's how they got together again.. I was all jumpy and frustrated lol :) I still love the book but not as much as I love some others of Judith :) "
— Mhnr, 1/21/2014" Couldn't even finish it. Ugh. "
— Gwen, 1/3/2014" I was surprised that I cried towards the end of this book when little Danny was kidnapped. Very well written for a "trashy romance" novel! "
— Pam, 12/19/2013" I really enjoyed listening to this romance-suspense book. Kate and Mitchell became very real and likable. Nice ending. Love-making sections were not gratuitous. Will I read more of this author? You bet. "
— Shirley, 12/19/2013" Enjoyable read with engaging, albeit underdeveloped, characters. Both the plot and the characters could have benefited from more pages. "
— Lindsay, 12/17/2013" yes, I have a new kindle and I'm reading trashy novels. Hey, give me a break- I'm on vacay! "
— Annalisa, 12/11/2013" I really liked it. But I haven't read Perfect which sounds like a similar plot. "
— Rosanne, 11/8/2013" This was a very enjoyable book. Some things I figured out where it was going but the trip there was well worth the reading. I enjoyed the characters and interpersonal relationships. It was a good page turner that kept me interested. "
— Lora, 9/3/2013" Not nearly up to McNaught's usual standards, I would label it a typical romance novel. Very forgettable, I had to think for a second before I realized that I've read this one. "
— Sakura, 8/12/2013" Romance and suspense - great book "
— Kathryn, 2/12/2013" when it comes to a real emotional roller-coaster ride, Judith McNaught will never let you down. she's a master in her category. Her love stories never simple or easy, will make you high and hungry for more. "
— Anna, 2/11/2013" I listened to this one in the car. It was interesting, but not as suspenseful as I was hoping for. It has a lot more romance than mystery in it. "
— Jennifer, 1/29/2013" This is my second book to read by Judith McNaught. Her style of writing leads the reader into a world of suspence, sprinkled with adventure, romance or at least sexual attraction, murder, kidnapping and surprises. "
— Peggy, 9/24/2012" It was a love story with many events going on throughout. "
— Donna, 8/10/2012" Was very light reading. Love story & who killed him. "
