Summary: Great book!
Review: This book seemed to move a little slower than "After Caroline", but the ending was completely unpredictable. Am looking forward to reading Finding Laura.

Summary: A Great Read
Review: This book was the first book by Kay Hooper that I read, and it has made me seek out her other books since. _Amanda_ is a griping book that pulls you in from the first page. It is full of romance and mystery, making the book more than a simple bodice-ripper. It gives you a mystery to solve, wonder at what will happen next, and the growth of love along with it all. If you enjoy any kind of romance, suspense, or mystery book I think you will like this book.

Summary: Fantastic.
Review: This is a great book. I have never read Kay Hooper before, but I found her name in the- "If you like this author, then you'll like..." section of Amazon. Well, I certainly did like Kay Hooper. Not only did I find this story to have an interesting & imaginative plot, but I found Kay Hooper to have an excellent writing style as well. This book is hard to put down. It is not overly suspenseful, but yet there are enough subtle hints & clues along the way, to keep you interested. And it has quite an ending! I would recommend Kay Hooper to those who like a little suspense, with a little romance thrown in. I am looking forward to reading another of her books.

Summary: Not as Good as Finding Laura.
Review: This is the 2nd Kay Hopper book I read. The 1st one was Finding Laura & I loved it. I thought I was in for another great one when I bought it through Amazon. Now, after reading the book, hate to say I was disappointed.Hooper seems to adopt a common story frame or setting in her works. Stories always happened in a big mansion with an old person in control, then walked in a beautiful woman from somewhere, and one can bet hot sex is following in the mansion's gazebo. This is all right but in Amanda, Hooper failed to win readers over to Amanda's side by convincing that Amanda was worthy, so that we could be afraid and worried for her. Her words, acts and thinking did not tell me she was the real Daulton, and not a crook though she threatened to leave Jesse when Jesse wanted to change his will in Amanda's favor. Also, the falling in love with Walker happened within a finger snap - no telling of how she began to fall for a man who had always been suspecting and questioning her and at times even hostile to her. Lastly, the explanation that Amanda gave for using someone's resume and identity to protect herself from danger was thin. I hope Amanda was not as good as Finding Laura is because Amanda is an earlier book and Hooper is improving along. I also hope that her future books are more polished and sophisticated, and please no more gazebos.

Summary: Another Surprise for Me!
Review: This was a great story that I am glad to say surprised me. Amanda is full of suspense, mystery, and romance with quite a surprise ending. Is Amanda who she says she is and is she in danger if she remembers a past that has been forgotten? These and other questions are answered. This is a talented author that I am going to pursue in my reading. I love finding new authors and this one is a gem. Don't miss this book.

Summary: Amanda, after Caroline
Review: _Amanda_ was the second book I read by Kay Hooper. I had high expectations after reading _After Caroline_, and I wasn't disappointed. Until the last few chapters, I was never certain whether Amanda was indeed who she claimed to be or not. Ms. Hooper kept me guessing until the very end. I knew the book held a shocking secret, but nothing could have prepared me for the book's climax. _Amanda_ is a must read. Prepare for late nights.
