Troubles in Paradise, you say? Oh let me count the ways:- Who the heck is the narrator? Told in first person present tense, three books in and I still can't figure out who the "I" is that's telling the story. I even went back and reread the beginning of this one for clarification, which wasn't to be found. - Are we really supposed to believe that every. single. character. is so easily susceptible to insta/outsta/re-insta-love? - Why did Hilderbrand feel the need to tack on a conclusion with a fa...
*2.5 stars*As much as I hate to admit it, given my love for the majority of Elin Hilderbrand’s work, the Paradise series overall was an unbalanced mess of sorts. For me, the intrigue of the secrets and a new island to explore made Winter in Paradise (book 1) a promising start to the trilogy. Yet, What Happens in Paradise (book 2) presented itself as a missed opportunity, given the stagnant storyline. Worst of all, I found Troubles in Paradise (book 3) to be a hodgepodge of chaotic decision-makin...
Not a bad last book in the series. Some characters were introduced, especially at the end that made no sense. Other characters/situations just dropped off with no closure. This was a fast easy read that allowed little thought to go into it. Nice after a stressful day.
While the Paradise trilogy wasn't my favorite work by Elin Hilderbrand, I liked it well enough to follow it through the end. Am I glad the Paradise saga is done? Yes, I am.Overall, I think this book did a good job of wrapping up the trilogy. There were a few places in the book where I thought the story should've ended. Instead, the story continued and contained what I considered filler material. At the end, though, everything was neatly wrapped up and no question was left unanswered.I did consid...
The final book and conclusion to Paradise trilogy and it wasn't even needed. The "mystery" behind the death of two people we knew from the first book was explained and solved rather quickly. The rest was just unnecessary drama. I still enjoy it, but my least favorite of three books.
Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/In case I haven’t beaten the dead horse enough, let me remind you that I’m not a series reader. Truth be told, this could go down as Exhibit A for the reason. This story could have easily been wrapped up in one book, but unfortunately when I got the first one I didn’t realize it was going to end in a mothereffing CLIFFHANGER so it was too late for me to backpeddle and I got sucked into number two. That one was just as I expected it wou...
This book was a great read! Made me dreamed of being wealthy one day so that I could live or travel to one of those luxurious islands. I enjoyed reading each character. Their troubles are easily relatable to many readers. The humor was fantastic. I liked how each family members of the Steele easily adapted themselves to becoming from tourists to locals. Makes me wonder if it's that easy in real life. I guess it might if we aren't picky about the jobs being offered at the Caribbean. There are a v...

Irene, Cash and Baker have all made plans to move to the island in hopes of a fresh start after their lives literally fall apart. What better place to live than St. John with people they have all grown to care for? If only they could leave their troubles behind. Unfortunately for this group, trouble follows them. “Love is messy, complicated and unfair...
This is the final installment of the Paradise series, and I wish I could have given more stars, but I had to wonder why a third installment was needed. We managed to sew up Rosie and Russ's story in a chapter but the rest of the book felt redundant and uninteresting. I had hoped for more and the ending fell short.
I’ve very much enjoyed this trilogy set in the Virgin Islands and will be sorry to see it end. As we pick up with the story, the Steele family has just (view spoiler)[ been raided by the FBI, lost access to Russ’s mansion villa and all his fortunes obtained illegally through his money laundering. Irene has also lost her house back in Iowa. Her two sons, who were planning to move to St. John with her, are now adrift and trying to find housing. And Ares may have a surprise of her own. (hide spoil...
Trouble in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“Trouble in Paradise” is the third and last book in the “Paradise” series. I absolutely loved all three of the books which normally does not happen. Usually the first book is amazing and the other books in the series fall short of enjoyment. This series kept me totally intrigued and wanting to continue reading the next book in the series right away. The story line, the characters and the balance of suspense and the strength of family and friendship...
