Synopsis: The holy grail of second-chance romance. Meredith Bancroft and Matthew Farrell were teenage lovers from opposite sides of the tracks who were torn apart by a cruel lie. Eleven years later, she is the heiress to a department store fortune; he is a ruthless corporate raider trying to buy her family’s company. Why read it: The elevator scene. The hotel desk scene. Paradise is often voted the #1 romance novel of all time by veteran readers. It is devastatingly beautiful.
However, a word of warning: McNaught writes "the big misunderstanding." If you dislike plots that hinge on two people not talking to each other, these books might frustrate you. But if you enjoy crying your eyes out only to be swept away by a grand, cinematic gesture of love, then dive in.
To avoid confusion (especially with the overlapping characters in the "Sequels" and "Buchanan-Renard" series), follow this order:
Synopsis: A sweet, gentle heroine, Alexandra, marries the powerful Duke of Hawthorne to save his estate, but he believes she is a conniving gold-digger. Why read it: This book has the highest "hurt/comfort" ratio. You will cry for Alexandra before celebrating her victory.
If you love Julia Quinn or Lisa Kleypas, you have McNaught to thank for paving the way.
