How could she love him? They'd never met!
When Adria Morris had been mugged at Victoria Station, she'd lost more than her purse. The bump she'd received had wiped out her past. And it had taken two years for Kyle Hamilton to find her.
Kyle insisted he could prove she was his late brother's wife, Lisa, so she returned to their family home on St. Amelia. There she learned that Kyle had been her lover - and wanted her again.
She would have to choose her fate - marry Kyle, or leave behind the only hope she had of ever regaining her memory.

About the author
Kay Thorpe
181 books65 followersKay Thorpe was born on 1935 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK. An avid reader from the time when words on paper began to make sense, she developed a lively imagination of her own, making up stories for the entertainment of her young friends. After leaving school, she tried a variety of jobs, including dental nursing, and a spell in the Women's Royal Airforce from which she emerged knowing a whole lot more about life - if only as an observer.
In 1960, she married with Tony, but didn't begin thinking about trying her hand at writing for a living until she gave up work some four years later to have a baby, John. Having read Mills & Boon novels herself, and done some market research in the local library asking readers what it was they particularly liked about the books, she decided to aim for a particular market, and was fortunate to have her very first, completed manuscript accepted - The Last of the Mallorys, published in 1968. Since then she has written over seventy five books, which doesn't begin to compare with the output of some Mills & Boon authors, but still leaves her wondering where all those words came from.
Sometimes, she finds she has become two different people: the writer at her happiest when involved in the world of books and authors; and the housewife, turning her hands to the everyday needs of husband and son. Once in a while, she finds it difficult to step from one role to the other. She likes cooking, for instance, but she finds that it can be an irritating interruption when she's preoccupied with work on a novel, so the quality of her efforts in the kitchen tend to be a little erratic. She says, "As my husband once remarked, my writing gives life a fascinating element of uncertainly: one day a perfect coq au vin, the next day a couple of burned chops!"
Luckily Kay has daily professional help with her housework, and that leaves her time to indulge in her hobbies. Like many other Mills & Boon authors, she admits to being a voracious consumer of books, a quality she shares with her readers. She likes music and horseback riding, which she does in the countryside near her home. But her favorite hobby is travel - especially to places that will make good settings for her books.
Kay now lives on the outskirts of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, along with husband, Tony, and a huge tabby cat called Mad Max, her one son having flown the coop. Some day she'll think about retiring, but not yet awhile.

Re Time Out Of Mind - this one is a bit squicky, but remarkably absorbing nonetheless. I did have to check a few times to make sure I was reading KT instead of Anne Mather - but if KT was doing an AM impersonation, she did a good job of it.
The squicky comes in when the H targets the h for seduction while she is married to his half brother. She has an affair with the H while her errant hubby is off wandering around, so if infidelity is a deal breaker and the half brother thing may be a major deal breaker as well, HP travelers might want to give this a miss. For those who have the Captain and cookie stash fortitude to forge through this one, it was rather surprisingly good. I had forgotten over the years just how interesting KT can be.
This one starts with the h not knowing who she really is, she suffered a physical attack two years earlier with a head injury and has no memory of her past at all. She guesses her age to be around 24 and she works in a London department store as a clerk. On her way to work one morning, she jaywalks and almost gets hit by a car. She is running late, so in her hurry she does the handsy sorry gesture and gets herself into her job. Later on, she is shocked to see the man who almost hit her wandering around the store looking for her. She makes a formal in person apology and explains that she was running late. The man seems to like what he sees and he asks her out. She declines. He waits around until she gets off of work and asks her out again, this time she accepts. Something about this dishy stranger is very appealing to her sensibilities.
Over dinner she finds out the H is from the Virgin Islands and owns a large estate there, he had a half brother who was the product of his mother's affair, but he died a few years back and so there is only the H, his sister and their mother. The H explains that the dead son was the mother's favorite, when he died the mother sank into a deep depression and since she was always distant from her two other children, she spends her days mourning her favorite son, and isolating herself from everybody else.
The H and h really like each other, he claims she looks a lot like a lady he knew, and the physical passion is intense. They get into a heavy lurve moment when the H notices a distinct birthmark on her chest and calls her by another woman's name and accuses her of horrible things. The h takes the time honoured HP h reaction in times of distinct stress and passes out.
When she comes to, she explains that she doesn't know who she is and tells the h about the attack and the last two years of memory loss. The H explains that it was thought that she died with his brother in the car crashed that killed him, the car caught fire when it wrecked, so the bodies were pretty much unrecognizable and it was assumed that it was her because she had been seen earlier with the brother and the passenger was female.
The H insists that the h now owns half his estate because he had made his half brother a partner in the place in an effort to make him settle down. He insists that the h needs to go to his island with him and get things sorted out. The h goes, cause at this point her woozy spells around the H are making her really nervous and she wants to know the full story and maybe get her memories back. So it is off to a British Virgin Island we go and things start to get intense.
The h asks the H about her marriage and her dead husband and if the H knows anything about her life before that. The H tells her she was apparently an orphan, she had been raised by an elderly aunt who had passed away. After the aunt died, the h went to Switzerland on a ski trip and met the H's half brother. She wouldn't go to bed with the brother when he tried it on, so he married her after two weeks and then brought her to the family island. The marriage went bad pretty quickly, the H says they started having problems right away and they were only married two months when it was assumed they both died in the crash.
The H and h arrive at the family home and the sister is shocked to see the h alive, but seems to be pretty happy to see her and they quickly establish a new bond. The h is feeling out of place because the H has issued an invitation to a woman he was dating before he found the h and the mother isn't happy to see the h at all.
The h is reeling from the weird jealousy see feels when she thinks about the H and his OW and reels even more when the mother accuses her of arranging the car crash that killed her son. The mother tells the h she was nothing but a gold digger who latched on to any rich man she could find and when it did not work on her favorite son, she went after the H. The h doesn't think that was really in her character and the sister is pretty assuring that she did not act like that at all, but she does admit the marriage wasn't working - mainly because the brother wasn't keen on island life.
There is some poking around the h's old things and her rooms from before in the hope of prodding her memory and the H starts to issue invitations to the h to go sailing with him. The H puts on the big smooth seduction moves over the course of a few sails. The h falls in love with the H pretty quickly and after the H tells the OW not to take up his invitation, he marries the h. She is sure she is in love and the H seems to care a lot too and the lurve clubbings result in mutual transcendent ecstasy, so the h is pretty happy. The sister has two potential suitors to choose from, so she is having a little romance drama of her own.
The only one not happy is the mother, she no longer accuses the h of causing her son's death, but she is still adamant that she is a gold digging tart and the only reason the H married her is to keep control of the whole estate - she inherited the dead son's half when he died and the H isn't taking any chances. The h dismisses the mother's claims, it is obvious she is very grief stricken and tries not let it worry her too much, the mother is leaving the island to go live with her sister anyways.
The scene with the mother triggered something for the h tho, she goes to drive into town and in the car, her memory returns. The h did marry the brother in whirlwind romance on a ski trip. She had lost her professor father and her mother when she was very young, lived with her aunt until she died and then took the legacy money her aunt left her and went on a nice little trip. The brother picked her up her second day and pursued her relentlessly, she was young and infatuated and so when he proposed she said yes.
They married and went to the family home, but the mother entirely disapproved and the H was pretty harsh as well, they both thought she was grabbing for the gold. The sister was the only one nice to her and her husband started spending a lot of time off island and claiming he wanted to be alone. After a month, the H finally accepts that she really is a nice girl at heart and he has been feeling the lust since she stepped on the island, so he takes the h sailing and seduces her. They start an affair and the H tells the h he will arrange for her to divorce the brother and marry him.
Then the mother tells the h that the H is leading her on to break up the marriage and get her off the island. The h believes this after some consideration and when her estranged hubby suddenly pops up, she asks him to start the divorce and get her on the plane to England. The h did not have a lot of money from her aunt's legacy left - she has been paying for herself this whole time, so he buys her ticket and takes her to the airport and gives her a bit of cash to start her off with. The h gets to back to England and then gets attacked in the train station and robbed and loses her memory.
The husband had to go to the airport anyway to pick up his current mistress. So after he saw the h off, he picked his married mistress up from arrivals and that was who was in the car with him when he crashed and they both died. The mistress's husband had thought maybe she just ran off or something. The h feels a bit bad for him.
Then the h recalls her own situation and is trying to hide that she has her memory back. She loves the H dearly but thinks he does't love her and so is amping up the wattage on the tower of power rides and using all her kittenish tiger skills to entice the H into baby making. That all changes when the h and H almost crash and die in the same spot the brother did. There is a tricky curve with bad light and tree in that spot and the H panics and confesses that he couldn't take losing her again. He grieved when he thought he lost her the first time, and rushed her into marriage so she couldn't escape him and the h pretends the second car crash restored her memory so she avows love at first sight too and they wander off to a tropical sunset and the rosy baby making HP HEA.
This one was interesting in that H's meanness and suspicions and his eventual h chase for the hair dragging back to the family yacht actually occurs in the h's memory restoration flashback, which means that it happens fairly late in the book. We get to see the nice and wooing side of the H first, so we don't really wonder about his motivations until almost the very end and it is a pretty effective tension producing few chapters too. We get the full effect of the h's fears that she is being deceived and it certainly keeps the pace up.
Plus KT really does make you wonder if they actually had an affair or not while the h was still married for quite a long time, she makes it seem very out of character for the h to have done that. By the time we realize she really is a cheatin' jezebel, we know the dead hubby had pretty much abandoned her and the H swears that he coerced and seduced her into an affair when she was vulnerable.
KT actually makes this work, we can easily blame the cheating brother for being a cheater first and then we can blame the H. Who is only doing what HP H's do when they see their destiny and the h is pretty much an innocent lamb led to the big bad wolf, except she did jump on that tower ride pretty quick. Still the rules of HPlandia are pretty much followed, no divorce, a dead spouse and the marriage was pretty much over for him by the time the h gets with the H the first time anyways.
The h never really likes the lurve moments with her hubby either, so she is as good as a virgin as it gets - cause the hubby apparently did not take enough time for the h to experience the rapture of transcendent physical bliss and the H gets it on the first go - must have been the motion of the ocean helping her find her rhythm as it happened on the H's boat.
Give this one a go if you can overlook the squicky, it is just close enough to HPlandia rules to be conformable but it has a fast pace and a pretty decent story and KT does a good job of making the h seem almost innocent as opposed to the heartless tarts some of Anne Mather's h's come across as being.

This one is a hard one for me to rate, so I opted for 3 stars. There were somethings I really enjoyed. The book is very well written and moves at a great pace. I found myself absorbed to the point that I couldn't put it down. The story is about a woman suffering amnesia for 2 years and is accidentally identified by her brother-in-law when he almost runs her over. For some reason amnesia is not one of my favorite tropes, but I thought it well done in this story.
However in spite of the well executed plot, I had trouble warming up to the heroine and hero. I typically don't like infidelity in my romances, but when it happens to be with your husband's brother, right in the family dwelling, it leaves a lot to be desired. Love does not excuse morality and these two were in my opinion both amoral characters. Especially the heroine, who claimed not to be a gold digger, yet married a man after only ten days and chose not to leave him when things didn't work out because she didn't want to give up the lifestyle. In stead she opts for an affair with his brother right under her mother-in-law's nose. I'm not quite sure what her definition of gold digger was, but it came very close to mine.
The Mother-in-law was quite vicious in her approach with the heroine. But when I step back, and think about it, she is the only one that had common sense. She suspected the heroine of marrying her son for money. Check. She suspects her of sleeping with her other son. Check. She suspects that the heroine has no real character. Check. So even though MIL is painted as an evil manipulator, I found her to be the sayer of truth.
As for the hero, the only reason he could identify her as his ex-sister-in law was a distinguishable birthmark in a very private place. Seems he was about to do the horizontal tango with her again when he saw the birthmark. That alone could be forgiven, except it turns out he was seriously involved with another woman and about to get engaged.
I see a life of misery for these two. I think their only connection was on a physical level. Once all the pheromones die down, I see a life of misery. He drifting off and not being able to keep his pants zipped and the heroine only focused on keeping her comfortable lifestyle, whatever the price.

Did not finish. Started out pretty good.
So far I've read four Kay Thorpe Harlequin Romance or Harlequin Presents series novels and two are novels are good to very good while the other two stories feature disgusting heroes and the girls who deserve them,
It's hard to enjoy a story where the hero has an affair with his brother's new bride and that's what happened in the backstory which we learn through memory flashbacks.
Kay Thorpe is a gifted writer but it's hard to enjoy a book with icky people that we don't want to spend two minutes, much less two hours, with.

Maybe 3.5 stars. Decent angsty story, if you can overlook the fact that the hero and heroine were totally cheating on the heroine's husband (and hero's brother), just a few weeks after they were married.

Amnesia plots are usually pretty tedious, no exceptions here.

I usually like amnesia stories, but this one bothered me, because it had the H and h having an adulterous affair, while the h was married to his brother! Of course, there's more to it, as the h's marriage was a disaster, they were only together a short time, she hated sleeping with him, he told her she was frigid and found another woman to sleep with, and she didn't sleep with the H until she knew she was ending her marriage, but still, the fact that they were in-laws gives it an ICK factor, at least to me. They should have waited at least until the divorce was in progress before they got naked.
Then there was the whole "We thought you were dead, how did you disappear, why were you in the car with your estranged husband, who then died in the car crash with someone we thought was you, do you really have amnesia or is this just a game; then again, there is that scar," and so on.
It got kind of annoying after a while.
