4By Angie's AsylumLoved the story, the banter between Clayton and Whitney really drew me in, so many twists and a few shocking moments too!Wow
5By LsnupSo many emotional ups and downs, frustrations with the characters and their attitudes.Not a fan
1By LuckyLoo2Not a fan, to slow and drawn out. Too many misunderstandings it was difficult to keep reading.Great book
5By roeluvsparisThis is my second reading of this book. I still loved it as much as the first timeBest book ever
5By SammyD1005This is one of my all time favorite books. The people who write hating it must hate masculine men but I love it!Breathtaking, couldn’t stop reading
5By hernchOne of my absolute favorite Judith mcnaught books. Whitney my love takes you on a one of a kind emotional ride . Please read it Judith is the original Bridgerton. Her books are timeless.Whitney, my Love
2By Confused ctrThis book was way tooo long. Tooo much unreasonable and unbelievable conflict. Why she loved him was beyond this reader. To force a woman into undressing and sex is beyond reason . Don’t care how badly he feels afterward. This book was not one of Judith’s good ones.Roller coaster for sure.
4By MistyEyedI’d read the reviews of other people and let that cloud my mind to reading this book. I read it anyway. Yes some of the things that happened in this book could’ve been avoided by simple conversation. But then that wouldn’t of made for a very good book. The book was well written and worth read.Rants and spoilers ahead
1By Doe KhanI’m mortified to say a friend recommended this book to me. My first extreme disturbance happened at the foreword where McNaught very nonchalantly and unnecessarily mentioned that she had named her main characters after her two children. I couldn’t no matter how much I tried—and boy did I try—to shake off and get past the feeling that she’s using her children’s names to describe people who would eventually have violent sex. Speaking of violence, I don’t understand how or why anyone would find Clayton’s predatory behavior okay let alone romantic!! This character is as if modeled after a psychopath! Yes, I understand there are certain “aggressive” tendencies that make for hot romance but not in this case. He is a predator and a stalker. There’s no two ways about it. And that first kissing scene had my skin crawling with the rape-y undertone. Actually now that I think about it, EVERY male in this book is a sex offender save for uncle Edward. The only reason I kept on reading this book was because I paid for it but even my own spent money can’t get me to finish it. Dropped right after the first kissing scene. Extremely disappointing and not worth you dollar.Does not age well
2By udy 1I understand this was her first but I cannot stomach the way violent sex is approached and explained away. Her other books a better.Touched my heart
5By whiteltulip 70Love love love and love, l couldn’t stop reading it and rereading it and rereading, not sure why it touched a special place in my heart Thank you very much for the lovely novel.... for the smart characters for all the people in the novel the heroine Whitney and her strength Plan to buy the other novels of the series Loved it triple muchStory telling structure
5By Linda AbejaThis is by far my favorite book! I love the story telling structure and how after you finished reading there are no loose ends to anything that happens in the story. I felt the emotions the characters were having as my own! That’s how deep I was into this book.Great book!
5By Mom of 2 at zooAmazing book! Couldn’t put it down. A lot of conflict.Whitney my love
5By Reva9526It was a wonderful experience reading the fast-paced, exciting and great dialogue of the many interesting characters in this book. It was so easy getting lost in the storms of desire, intrigue and worlds of Paris and England society. The author’s use of words to pull the reader into this exceptional book is worth every moment of reading it-thank you Judith McNaught for this adventure 🥰So many issues
1By ChinecheremmThe early stages of this book ruined it for me, I almost couldn’t finish the book. So many issues, just plain annoying. I literally just forced myself to finish this book and it got worse and even more worse as the book progressed. I could not bring myself to actually like the hero, he was a terrible person, there was nothing, absolutely nothing to love about him. Judith McNaught is a splendid storyteller but this book is just absurd. once again, for the love of God, stop calling romantic interests or heroines or whatever “little one”. It’s in no way romantic or endearing!! It just reeks of paedophilia.Miscommunication galore
2By NigelwiththeBrieI love Judith McNaught. I love the way she writes, I love the language she uses, and I especially love her historical romances. I’ve been rereading her novels and decided to read the Westmoreland series in order. Kingdom of Dreams is fantastic...Whitney, My Love had me wanting to tear my hair out at some points and I actually cheered out loud when Whitney left Claymore at one point. There is severe miscommunication, things that could easily be resolved with a short conversation that never happens. This leads to Clayton raping her...yes raping her at one point, and she takes him back, only for him to make a another dumb assumption and abandon her while she is pregnant. For me, I’m fine with a dominant hero...but punishing a woman with sex (when she doesn’t understand what is happening) and stealing her virginity all because of a simple miscommunication left me cringing. The story is long and it’s a rollercoaster. And there should be a trigger warning. Two stars for Judith’s writing...but that’s about it.True Storyteller
5By Chapina77Judith has an amazing ability to tell a beautiful story without losing the reader. There is just enough of everything in the wonderful story.Do yourself a favor and read this !
5By Malo ShahI love Judith mcnaught so much. I have read every book of hers and this will always be my favourite one. This book will make you feel like your in another world and you won't be able to put it down. I can't put into words how obsessed I am with the Judith mcnaught but her books kept me sane somehow and they still do. She is my hero honestly I love her and I haven't met anyone that has a read a book of hers and hasn't loved it as much as I do.Whitney, My Love
5By texasfan2011I've waited decades for the digital version of this book. It has been my all-time favorite romance novel since it was published in 1985. It's one of the longest romances I've ever read and I wish it was even longer.
