Troubles in Paradise

By: Elin Hilderbrand

Narrated by: Erin Bennett

Travel to the bright Caribbean for love, romance, and passion in this sizzling summer read from a nationally bestselling author and "Queen of the Summer Novel" (People).

After uprooting her life in the States, Irene Steele has just settled in at the villa on St. John where her husband Russ had been living a double life. But a visit from the FBI shakes her foundations, and Irene once again learns just how little she knew about the man she loved.

With help from their friends, Irene and her sons set up their lives while evidence mounts that the helicopter crash that killed Russ may not have been an accident. Meanwhile, the island watches this drama unfold—including the driver of a Jeep with tinted windows who seems to be shadowing the Steele family.

As a storm gathers strength in the Atlantic, surprises are in store for the Steeles: help from a mysterious source, and a new beginning in the paradise that has become their home. At last all will be revealed about the secrets and lies that brought Irene and her sons to St. John—and the truth that transformed them all.

Paradise Series Is Worth the Time

I loved the entire series. The characters are fleshed out—some normal good ones have their weaknesses, but they are caring people. Some you want to throttle or have a good therapy session with, and others are just bad, selfish and arrogant. The beauty of the island and the people makes me ready to go. I love books that are set on islands. Fun whether you’re on a beach or snuggled close to a fire during this winter of 2021.

So sad

I’m so sad to see the end of this series. Surely you could do one more with the rebuilding. Please.....

wonderful ending to the trio

I love how the 3rd book wraps up. I feel good closer with each character and the story. loved all 3 books, but this one really tied the bow on them all!

Realistic

I really enjoyed this book, similar to the first two. Narration was great. I'm a huge fam of author and this was consistent with her style of writing.

excellent read.

a good wrap-up to the trilogy excellent finish and goood all-around read all by itself.
