BB’s Review: Every Breath You Take by Judith McNaught
Every Breath You Take by Judith McNaught
From the Back Cover: They met in paradise: Kate Donovan, the beautiful, self-made Chicago restaurateur, and Mitchell Wyatt, ruthless businessman, scion of the fabulously wealthy Wyatt Family–and, as Kate soon learns, a man who won’t take no for an answer. During their idyll on the tropical island of Anguilla, Kate and Mitchell lower their defenses and surrender all inhibitions–slowly at first, and then in a rush of emotion unlike anything they’ve ever known.
But their heaven crumbles when Mitchell 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? What does his future hold–and what are his plans for her?
As Kate struggles to trust the fascinating man who may also be her most formidable foe, the web of intrigue grows ever more complicated–and the result is Judith McNaught’s most spellbinding novel yet.
This is one fantastic love story, which also includes a murder mystery. The characters have so many layers. It starts out with Kate being on vacation with her attorney boyfriend, Evan Barrett. Evan is called back to the mainland because of a case he has to handle leaving Kate at the beautiful villa all by herself. Mitchell happens to see Kate in the bar and her beautiful red hair and emerald green eyes grab his full attention. The way they actually meet is pretty funny, I’ll let you read it. Needless to say, they end up getting together and sparks fly instantly. Mitchell is extremely handsome and Kate has a hard time not staring at him with his thick dark hair and sky blue eyes. They spend the next couple of days together and they grow closer and closer–intimately closer. Both are very comfortable with each other and enjoy each other’s company–like they’ve been together forever. Suddenly Mitchell is called back to the mainland because his half brother’s body is found and he is wanted for questioning. This is where everything in this story gets all mucked up and total misunderstandings take place. It’s a very detailed, heart-wrenching love story. I don’t want to give away all the twists and turns in this love story/murder mystery because they’re what make this story sooooo good–and there are so many. I actually re-read this book right after I finished it. I love the story. The strong emotions you feel going through everything with both Mitchell and Kate will keep you reading this one.
Because I will read this book again and again…I give it 4 cocktails!
