Summary: A definite page-turner!
Review: I loved this book! I finished it the same day I bought it!
Once you think you figure what happened you find out your wrong and the person you think least likely to do it does
it. Kay Hooper mixes love, hate, and fear beautifully!

Summary: good mystery
Review: I really enjoyed this story. Kay Hooper did a wonderful job of entertaining the reader with a mystery that keeps you on your toes from the beginning to the end. Amanda Daulton and her mother run away in the middle of the night to escape some kind of danger. Years later Amanda turns up as the long lost granddaughter of Jessie Daulton. Her mother has died and after discovering who she is, she wants to know what happened that fateful night. Of course, since she has turned up, the other heirs are not too happy at the prospect of being disinherited. One attempt on her life has occurred and there is the fear of more plus, Jessie's lawyer is not sure she is who she says she is, and keeps digging to find out more about her background, which has been extremely difficult because Amanda has not been as truthful as she could have been. Kept me on my toes till the end.

Summary: A great romantic suspense......
Review: I started this book with mixed feelings. The only other Kay Hooper books that I have read are her 'Evil' trilogy. I enjoyed them, but there wasn't enough romance for me, so that's what I expected with Amanda, but I still decided to try it. I was not dissapointed with this book. It had romance with just the right amount of suspense and personal conflict added in.Amanda has returned to her childhood home after a thirty year absence. She was nine years old when her and her mother left in the cover of the night. She didn't expect a warm welcome from her 'family' and she wasn't dissapointed. She didn't think anyone would try to kill her though. Walker is the Daulton family lawyer and he is paid to be suspicous of strangers showing up claiming to be the long lost Amanda Daulton. After all, there is a fortune at stake. He doesn't know what to make of this woman whom he is sure is an imposter. He feels desire for her, but at the same time he resents her for lying to him about who she really is and how she has spent the last twenty years. There are other characters in this book that will hold you spellbound. Sully, Jesse, Kate, Ben, Reece, and Maggie. I've read that many people were surprised how the book ended. I didn't expect the twist it took at the end, but I believe it's fairly easy to figure out who is behind all the 'accidents' happening at Glory. The end of this book is very satisfying and you will put it down with tears in your eyes. Don't miss it!

Summary: Great mystery & romance!
Review: I was hooked reading Kay Hooper's stories when I first read "Haunting Rachel". Was not disappointed reading this story. It had just the right mystique and romance to keep me reading till I was finished. I liked this story better than the Shadow series, which had less romantic interest but still good suspense. I recommend this "Amanda" highly to all Kay Hooper fans! A MUST read. If you like this story, I recommend reading: "Finding Laura", "After Caroline", and "Haunting Rachel".

Summary: Slow and disappointing
Review: I was really looking forward to another one of Kay Hooper's books, but I was truly disappointed in this one. The characters are not well developed and there was no "connection" created from the author to the reader. The resolution was interesting, but a painstaking read to finally get there. It was just too wordy and the mystery was vague.
Rating:
Summary: A real page-turner!
Review: It only took me 2 days to read this book, but that's because it's long. I think it was a really good book. It had suspense, drama, and romance all rolled into it. If you enjoy this book, you should read "After Caroline" by Kay Hooper. That one is just as good!!

Summary: Not as good as Finding Laura.
Review: Others had walked into Walker's office claiming to be Amanda Daulton, the missing heiress to a multimillion-dollar home. This one would be no different. However, being the family lawyer, Walker had to follow Jesse's orders to bring her out to the house. When Jesse accepted her claim of being Amanda, without concrete proof, Walker began to investigate her past. Amanda's memories were just too vague. After all, she had been ten when she and her mother had run away into the dark night. Amanda did not know why the smell of horses made her go sick with terror. When her mother died in a car accident, she found her birth certificate, and her real identity. Her mind would not let her remember what had happened those twenty years ago. Why had her mother grabbed her and ran, never to return to the Glory house? Why was Jesse so sure she was the real Amanda? When Jesse tries to change his Will in Amanda's favor, she threatened the leave. After all, people have been killed for less. She wanted nothing of the estate. She only wanted to know WHY everything happened. Someone else, though, wanted Amanda dead. ***More romance than suspense until the end. The ending is shocking. I never saw it coming!***
