Summary: One worth reading
Comment: O.k. I guess I agree with some of the other reviews that Sandini seems to be missing from the end. However, if you consider the fact that Sandini prefers to be in the background and Zach will always be very much in the forefront, it makes sense that he's missing from Zach and Julies life at the end. The rest of the book was fantastic. It kept me interested from beginning to end. I also loved the chemistry between Julie and Zach. I read a part of this book while in a doctors waiting room and actually embarrassed myself by laughing out loud! It's one of those books that really makes you feel. Not your typical drippy romance with a quick sappy ending either. I can't wait to read some of the authors other books.

Summary: Good Read
Comment: This is a pretty good read and one of my favorite of Judith's novel. I do agree with the other reviewer in terms of Sandini. How come he just went missing from the pages. It seems like when the character was first introduced, it was very strong and has high impact but then just went to zero.
Also it bothers me a lot that most of Judith McNaught's female leads have no sexual experience or if they do, they are portrayed as these uptight, rigid, low-self-worth women in bed. Understanding if it is a 18th century setting but the 19th or 20th century ones? C'mon...

Summary: Better than Perfect...
Comment: I read Paradise and then Perfect, my first 2 tastes of Judith M. I must say that I have not been disappointed. She has made a fan of me for life! I was also thrilled that she followed up the Matt and Meredith story from Paradise in Perfect. About Perfect, Julie was a woman who has spent her life trying to be a perfect person for her minister adoptive father and his family, I think because she never wants them to regret having adopted her. I think that is Julie's only weakness as a character as she continues to strive for perfection to gain their approval, even as an adult. Zach is a hunk of a movie star who is multitalented and who is totally jaded in the beginning of the story and ends up married to a lying, cheating wife that only married him to further her career as an actress. He learns not to ever trust women and that the life he craves so much can never be. He ends up in prison for a crime he did not commit and later breaks out of jail and happens upon Julie. She offers him a ride and kind of allows herself to be kidnapped if that is possible. It just kind of happens and so their relationship begins...And it is a beautiful tale of tentative trust, humor, and bonding unlike any other. Zach would never hurt her and wants to stop living at a point where he thinks he has caused harm to her. Julie realizes that he could have never committed a murder when he is so compassionate and caring. As he holds her "hostage" he regrets having to let her go, but cannot live with the thought of hurting her if the police were to find him while she is there. While together, Julie realizes that her life before she met him was ideal, but far from perfect, knowing full well that it was love that was missing now that she has spent time alone with Zach. In Julie, Zach found out what life is like outside Hollywood could be like. She represented everything he had ever wanted in his life, despite his resolutions that they could never be. She sent his emotions on a roler coaster ride whenever she was near, from sputtering anger to total starry-eyed love within seconds. She could make him laugh when he thought he never would again and she showed him what true love is really about. When Zach finally admits his love to her, it is in a heart wrenching letter that caused me 3 tissues to dry my eyes when I read it. Towards the end, Julie does something despicable, but is completey justified given her upbringing and stories she is presented with. I forgave her, although I cried my eyes out afterwards, for Zach and what he must have surely felt. Then I was suspicious when he was with a lady from his past. JM never says whether he sleeps with her, so I came to my own conclusion that he did not. Awesome book with incredibly deep characters. I would like if JM expands on FBI agent Paul's character in a future book because I began to get the hots for him in Perfect!!
