A husband's secret life, a wife's new beginning: escape to the Caribbean with #1 New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand.
Irene Steele shares her idyllic life in a beautiful Iowa City Victorian house with a husband who loves her to sky-writing, sentimental extremes. But as she rings in the new year one cold and snowy night, everything she thought she knew falls to pieces with a shocking phone call: her beloved husband, away on business, has been killed in a helicopter crash. Before Irene can even process the news, she must first confront the perplexing details of her husband's death on the distant Caribbean island of St. John.
After Irene and her sons arrive at this faraway paradise, they make yet another shocking discovery: her husband had been living a secret life. As Irene untangles a web of intrigue and deceit, and as she and her sons find themselves drawn into the vibrant island culture, they have to face the truth about their family, and about their own futures.
Rich with the lush beauty of the tropics and the drama, romance, and intrigue only Elin Hilderbrand can deliver, Winter in Paradise is a truly transporting novel, and the exciting start to a new series.
"I will just say that, 24 hours after I started this book, I purchased its sequel, What Happens in Paradise, and I did not leave either book to be enjoyed by strangers at the end of my vacation." --Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

Such a great read if you love romance and plot twist!
I thought this book was quite good. Good enough to buy the second book. It kept me interested although I found it too descriptive of the British Virgin Islands. If I had been there or lived there, I would of have enjoyed it more. The problem was that just padded the story out.Regardless, I bought the second book and am reading it but it is so slow that I would not recommend others waste their time and money on it.
Love Elin’s books based in St John, once my fulltime home. Looking forward to finishing this trilogy over the next few days while cruising in the Caribbean, which included a stop in Saint Thomas.
Elin H is such a compelling writer, I find myself sucked in to her books, rarely pausing before devouring them.
I got this book for a friend for Christmas, so I have not read it myself but my friend said it was a great, quick read!
