This book is already one of my favorites, as is every book I have read from Judith McNaught.
The story is so romantic and so full of emotions that it will make you cry and laugh and fall in love with the characters. Specially Jordan! Trust McNaught to create an amazing, unforgettable, sexy and absolutely lovable hero.
The only thing that bothered me a little about the book is the reception Jordan received from those he loved when he returned. They considered him dead, and mourned him for more than a year, however, when he reappears, nobody hugs him or shows any signs of joy, specially Alexandra. I know that she was dissapointed of the things she learned about him, but she should have felt happy that he was alive.
My favorite scene is when he thinks that she is going to die and starts talking to her and telling her about his feelings. It brought tears to my eyes!
A delicious book. You will not be able to pu it down!(at least I couldn't)

After reading the wonderful reviews on this book, I've decided to give Judith McNaught's work a read. I must say, she does a great job at keeping me up all night, clutching onto this dear book in anticipation on what is going to happen. Something Wonderful is just as the title exclaims it to be. As a first novel to read by Judith McNaught, I am now devouring every book she has written one by one.

(I will try my hardest at not spoiling this book for you.) McNaught starts out this novel by introducing her hero and heroine, Jordan Townsende the Duke of Hawthorne and Alexandra Lawrence. McNaught does a beautiful job in describing her characters that you actually feel like you know them. Even though Jordan's cynicism is overpowering, your heart will melt when he shows his softness towards Alexandra when she steps into his life by saving him from an outnumbered attack. And that is how our loves meet. After being saved, Jordan somehow mistaken Alexandra for a young boy and takes her in to care for her. (i.e. check for broken bones, bruises, etc.) By doing so, he obliviously turns the town against her by ruining her reputation. With her reputation beyond repair, Alex's mother demands the Duke to wed Alex since no one else will with the whole town considering her as used goods. Jordan, who has never wanted marriage in the first place, marries Alexandra out of pity for her. It wasn't till later, as he watched Alexandra bloom before his eyes, how much of a delicate rare flower she is and how much his very life depended on her.

after being strongly recommended by a good friend I decided to read 'Something Wonderful.' I expected you're fairly typical romance gone awry and a predictable ending but this book was anything but!
Fast-paced with witty dialogue, breath-taking scenes and memorable characters this book is my all-time Judith McNaught fave! Its amazing to find an author that can make a reader truly 'feel' the turbulent emotions of characters.
I also recommed 'Whitney, my love' as well as 'Until You' to readers who enojoyed this book as much as I did.
