This book moved along slowly but in a good way.
The author took the time to build the characters and the suspense a little at a time so you could get to know them.
Although halfway through you knew the main killer it's the other background players that take you by suprise!!
Worth the read.
The story is about a woman who spends 10 years in an asylum for killing her step brother. She has No memory of her life. Unexpectedly released, she goes home and tries to find out why she was in the asylum a...more

This was one of those beach reads that doesn't have a lot of substance, but was fairly entertaining. I felt like the end was a little bit of a let-down, though. This "tragic" event that the main character couldn't remember should've been bigger, and/or the "bad" guys in the this book should have been punished more while the "good" guys better rewarded. I don't know if that makes sense. The point is, it was entertaining, but not necessarily one I'd recommend.

A very good fast read. It had a lot of twist and turns, and the stuff Casey went through as a girl and then 10 years later having to remember and relive it all over again... it just broke my heart for her and every child that has their childhood taken away, because of sick, greedy, selfish people. Now, onto something a little more lighthearted. :)

I don't feel better for having read this book. I've read this author before and this book just isn't nearly as good. A good editor could have chopped out 1/3 of the book and we'd have been better off. Not a lot of depth to the characters and too many bad guys. I have to wonder if the author hates most men.........

Perfectly good romantic suspense novel. The plot was unusual, but the ending was predictable. Some of the plot twists were less so.I listened to it on CD and it was a good accompaniment to housework.

I have always liked Fern Michaels but I don't like this book. There is far too much pain and suffering in the news of everyday life for me to want to find it in the reading I do for pleasure.
Ann Cholewinski
This book was twisted... The only reason i finished is because I just had to see all of the bad guys get theres in the end... And then i wasen't happy with the ending... it just ended! not a fan!
Ruth
I cannot imagine losing my memory. Casey is determined to untangle the web of secrets that threaten her future. Someone wants Casey out of the way before she remembers too much. EXCELLENT
Heather Victoria
Oh wow!!! I have been trying for about 3 years to remember the name and author of this book! It stayed on my mind for so long because it was so good!!!! Ill never forget it.
Shirley
Another romantic potboiler - never got past 30 pages before I dropped it into the recycle box.
Denise
Mystery was an interesting unravel, but I could have done without the graphic edginess.
Margaret
Although the storyline seemed improbable to me, the book was still enjoyable reading.
Sandie Seth
I think I clicked the wrong book!

Very good book, what a great author
Marianne Jay
I really like Fern Michaels and I really liked this book. The only complaint that I have is that in some parts it was a bit disjointed and I had to go back and re-read a bit of the page before - other than that - the premise, the characters, etc - I really, really liked
Sharon Sherman
I love this book even on the second or third reread. A girl with no memory in a southern town with it's local politics (bribes, blackmail, secrets, and lies)

I really loved this book. Had a great story line. Kept my interest with a little suspense in there. I couldn't wait to find out who done it in the end.
Sarah
Light and cute read..a bit racy for Fern Michaels in areas but wasnt too much to make me stop reading or get completely red in the face :)
Dara

Sorta weird

Entertaining enough, but the characters were flat and predictable. It wasn't thought-provoking, but filled the time on the road to work.
