Remember When

Remember When

Judith McNaught's last enchanting bestseller, Until You, was hailed as "brilliantly done and completely entertaining... ripe plot twists... a fine supporting cast" (Ocala Star-Banner). Now, with more than fourteen million books in print and seven New York Times bestsellers, Judith McNaught brings us her latest, most enthralling novel...

REMEMBER WHEN

When multinational tycoon Cole Harrison approached her on a moonlit balcony at the White Orchid Charity Ball, Diana Foster had no idea how extraordinary the night ahead would be. The most lavish social event of the Houston season had brought out American aristocracy, Texas-style, in glittering array. So, after losing her fiancé to a blond Italian heiress and reading about it in a sleazy

gossip paper, the lovely Diana felt obliged to make an appearance-if only to save face and to bolster her company's image. Foster's Beautiful Living magazine was her family's sucess story, and Diana knew that, single, childless, and suddenly unengaged, she was not living up to its lucrative image of upscale domestic tranquility. A women of gentle grace and kindness, Diana deeply valued her privacy and

her dignity, both of which were at risk that night among certain rumor-driven socialites. And now the pride of Dallas billionaires, Cole Harrison, was closing in on her with two crystal flutes and a bottle of champagne...

The tall, lithe former stableboy couldn't negotiate his way out of a contract with his crusty uncle, Cal-he had to bring home a wife, and soon, or see Cal's share of the business Cole had created go to an undeserving relative. A man as coolly analytical as he was arrestingly attractive, Cole decided that his bride-to-be should be rich in her own right, meltingly beautiful, and a woman of impeccable character... Diana Foster!

It was the perfect to their respective dilemmas, and, after a lot of champagne for Diana and some skilled persuasion from Cole, their lips met in a long, slow, bargain-sealing kiss. Neither one dared imagine that a match made in logic's heaven might be headed straight for an unexpected, once-in-a-lifetime love...

Once again, Judith McNaught creates an unforgettable world filled with her "very special of dazzling wit, passion, and tender sensuality" (Romantic Times). As a proud woman and a wary man begin to taste the delights and the treacheries of romance, the drama smolders deliciously in this suspenseful, richly satisfying novel. Graced with a deep understanding of love's surprises, it's a tale that can only come from

a supremely gifted storyteller, one who makes us so happy to...REMEMBER WHEN.

Summary: Really horrible
Comment: I've never read a McNaught book before, but I've always wondered whether or not I would enjoy one of her books....well, now I know. This was a sad waste of my time.

The characters were not well-developed at all. They were like cardboard cutouts of what romance novels characters should be...like a novel that makes fun of romances. Too much of the novel was dedicated to scenes that had nothing to do with the interaction between the main characters, as if this book was trying to NOT concentrate on the romance. Yet, this is a romance novel, so it didn't make the least amount of sense. Either write a romance or don't.

Summary: You can never go wrong with Judith McNaught
Comment: Terrific romantic read. I've read all the books by this author, and this was the only one I have missed until now , so this was an extra pleasure. You will love the story, the characters and the sexual tension.

Summary: Kind of a Let-Down
Comment: McNaught recycled a bunch of material here, changed the names, and published this in hard-back as a new novel. I didn't think the characters had much spark. I thought the hero was kind of a bully. And this is another one of her books where I feel that she kind of hates women, it's a little odd.

Summary: Excellent writing, good plot, poor delivery
Comment: McNaught's writing is first-rate, up there with Julie Garwood, Gaelen Foley, Mary Jo Putney, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, etc. So I am not going to criticize her writing in this book because it was indeed, as expected, first-rate.

So why only 3 stars? After reading "Paradise," I was excited about this one because it featured a similar storyline -- poor service boy from wrong side of tracks works his way up the corporate ladder and comes back to woo his high-society debutante childhood friend. While I felt the storyline was great, I didn't think McNaught did such a good job telling it. The first 100 pages were very promising, and the character development was top-notch McNaught quality. However, the next 200 pages dragged out, and I sometimes wondered if I was still reading a romance novel or a business journal instead. In the 400+ pages of romance, there was only 1 two-page love scene (not counting the vague hints of the heroine's drunken wedding night), and we don't even see that until the very end of the novel. Perhaps if her book was marketed as "Fiction" instead of "Romance," I would not have felt so misled and ended up so disappointed.

Plus 3 stars for the excellent writing and plot, minus 2 stars for the flat delivery, 200+ pages of unnecessary corporation detail, and lack of romance in what was advertised and sold as being a "romance novel." McNaught's Remember When is good fiction, but not good romance.

Summary: I've read better...
Comment: I've read a few of JM's books, and they are good but somehow they don't have any conclusions to storylines they started. For example, at the beginning of the book, Cole has a sexy, smart girlfriend and doesn't want to get married OR have kids. Then next time he's single. It doesn't say why or when or anything they broke up. He's so adament about not getting married or having kids that I was shocked when, after making love to Diana, he has a sudden revelation that he wants all that stuff after being together A WEEK. It doesn't give us a reason why he doesn't, but the reader has to infer it from his past. They both have successful businesses and it's like those don't matter, that they can pick up and move half a company by the next day. It was an ok read, but it left something to be desired. There were too many incomplete storylines and the only resolution I saw was that they were married and lived happily ever after. Not very believeable.
