You will need to have read Paradise City to get the full effect of Paradise Road

At the end of Paradise City, Ballantine broke Lexie's (and my) heart.

Now Lexie is back, and her story is bigger and better than ever!

Whilst I liked Paradise City, I LOVED Paradise Road - so much more than I thought I would!

This is Lexie's road to self discovery, to prove to herself and everyone else that she is more than that girl from the country.

Ballantine is still gone, and now Dean is becoming a part of her life - much to both her and Dean's surprise.

I adored Lexie and Dean's banter - there is a real love/hate thing going on, but as the reader you can feel, you just know that there is more.

I was really happy with where Lexie's story took us. I felt a lot more depth, a lot more emotion with where she is in this part of the story as to where she was during Paradise City.

CJ Duggan drew all the emotions out of me with Paradise Road - I laughed, I teared up, got mad.

Paradise Road is a wonderful conclusion to the Paradise series, and I look forward to what she brings us next.
