Book Synopsis
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.

The book is the size of a note card!!! I couldn’t believe it when I opened it. I have another in the series and it’s twice the size. When you order a paperback book you expect it to be ….. the size of a paperback book.
Great beginning to a great series!

Disappointed - 4 years ago, Verified purchaser
This was my first Hildebrand book and I immediately bought the sequel. At first it was a little hard to follow due to the fact that she doesn’t write in chapters, instead she tells the story from the different characters point of view and labels the “chapters” by the character’s names. Once you get to know everyone though you will love it. It’s a page turner that I couldn’t put down. FYI, the sequel is just as good!
