Fiction. Romance. Suspense. HTML:A spellbinding tale of contemporary suspense that begins with a mysterious homecoming and ends in a shattering explosion of passion, greed, and murder. And all because a stranger says her name is... Amanda.
Others have claimed to be Amanda Daulton, but now a beautiful, self-assured woman has stepped out of the shadows of the past, insisting she's the missing heiress to a multimillion-dollar fortune. One look is all it takes to assure the family patriarch that she's his beloved granddaughter. But others at the magnificent Southern mansion called Glory are not as easily convinced, others with much to lose from her sudden reappearance. Soon suspicion erupts in a chilling attempt on her life, and after the traumatic ordeal, she begins to have flashes of a nightmarish vision. What, if anything, happened twenty years ago to drive a mother and her nine-year-old daughter away from their privileged life? The struggle to find the elusive answer exposes a frightening trail of secrets??a trail that leads shockingly to the present and to the enigmatic woman who calls herself... Aman… (altro)

One of her earlier books, not as good as the recent stuff, but still an enjoyable read. ( )

I originally bought this book as part of a gift for a friend of mine who shares the titular name. It only seemed fitting I read it before giving it to her. I enjoyed the romance, the intrigue and the overarching mystery surrounding Amanda's character. A shining sample of Kay Hooper's brilliance for weaving effortless beauty. ( )

Wonderful mix of a romance and gothic mystery. A dying old geezer wants to reunite with his lost granddaughter, Amanda, before kicking the bucket and the family is not happy about the woman who enters saying she’s Amanda. Even though it’s written in first person from “Amanda’s” perspective Hooper still has you wondering if she’s really the Amanda. Which is fantastic! ( )

Although I did like the main characters, I must say, if this book were a movie of the week, it would be on Lifetime and star some of the cast of Falcon Crest, circa 1986. It's that type of story. Plus, the patriarch is a complete rip-off of Tennessee Williams' Big Daddy character from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Passable brain candy. -cg ( )

Amanda returns to the family estate to discover something about her pasts. Her return causes a lot of ructions and her life is in danger. She knows some details but doesn't know some others, however she wants to know more about her past and the Lawyer is interesting and interested!

It's pretty predictable, the unfolding of the secrets is well done and some of the issues are a huge mess that would probably leave the author with room for a sequel if she ever wanted to revisit them! I enjoyed it. ( )
