I usually reserve Elin Hilderbrand for summer reading candy. But, Winter in Paradise came up from the library and I thought it might be a quick last 2018 read. And, it was. As expected, this was nothing challenging, but the story was entertaining. It’s the only book Hilderbrand has written that didn’t take place on Nantucket. In this story, Irene Steele discovers that her devoted husband has been leading a double life. When he dies unexpectedly in the Virgin Islands, she and her sons travel there to figure out what happened. The setting is gorgeous and it made me long to return to the islands. But, all in all, this was a fluff read, leaving me ready for meatier choices in 2019. Happy New Year!
