Интересна книга,но доста предсказуема и с доста бавно развиващо се действие. Хареса ми съпоставката между доброто и злото. Описано бе добре и беше приятно за четене. Ариадне със сигурност ми хареса повече от Николета,защото успя да я победи със своята доброта. Николета е изключително отрицателен герой - всичко лошо е събрано в нея. В крайна сметка книгата имаше хубав край и всеки си получи заслуженото.

I feel like my mother when I say that this book was just trash, but it really was. I don't mind a steamy sex scene every once in a while, but these were frequent and so detailed that it really seemed pornographic to me. The storyline was somewhat interesting at the beginning, but got ridiculous as the book progressed.

I randomly picked this up at the library when I went without my list of things I want to read (always a mistake) and regretted it, for sure. It was the day before I moved and I couldn't justify another trip to the library for the next few days. Although I asked everyone who came to the new house to bring a book for me to borrow, they came empty-handed and I was left to finish this one. My first book by this author and will definitely be my last.

Wow! This book was excellent even if the wording was a little off. I wish there was a book two to see how the rest of her changes were handled and taken by the rest of the world as well as the Mother Earth crew. Not normally a book I would’ve picked up, it looked like a good beach read based on the cover but it was not that. Definitely not romance either. I would call this one full on suspense. A little stunned but the ending was good. Finally I wish the advisors had a little more to say or reactions with Matt and Ariadne’s relationship. Nevertheless, a new author on my list. ❤️

This book is kind of all over the place at the beginning, but it gets better.

A good lighthearted read. Not much depth. Predictable and pretty lighthearted until the end.

The old twin switcheroo--out with evil twin Nikoletta, in with good twin Adriana. Mix well with the jet set and international corporate greed and you have the setting for The Secret Heiress. Add sex and sun and voila, a novel.
The whole book was curiously detached, even the so-called steamy sex.

Read for Spring Challenge 15.1

The protagonist of this book was SO GOOD and her twin sister was SO EVIL and their departed papa's reason for separating them was SO STUPID that I am shocked I actually finished this novel. The resolution was so pat and ridiculous that my 7-year-old nephew would be ashamed to end one of his stories so tidily. Awful!

This is by far my favorite book I have read. The author keeps you on edge until the very end. Once you get to know one character and her evil ways the books turns around by introducing her twin sister that was "thrown away" as a child. With help from the evil sisters assistants the new twin soon puts everything back on the right track.

I enjoy Judith Gould's book for a break. They are light, romance/suspense novels for a fast read. This particular novel is good twin vs evil twin. Ms. Gould does a good job developing her characters so an interest is created right from the beginning. If you are looking for a thought provoking novel to sink your teeth into, this is not the book for you.

I give this 1 star only because it was so bad that it was funny. I can't even believe I finished it. Seriously though, it did make me laugh- it is unintentionally hysterical. I borrowed the ebook from digital library because I had nothing with me to read.

This book didn't measure up to Gould's usual standards. The plot, characters, and story weren't well developed, the book was boring and predictable. If a reader wants an entertaining tale full of the "Dynasty" type of stories Gould usually crafts so well, why not re-read "Sins" or "Too Damn Rich?"

If you enjoy gossip girl and fifty shades of grey i feel you would enjoy this book. Although it is slightly predictible it's also very fun. This book is more for the younger generation.
