4.0 out of 5 stars A good read 10 May 2001
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Well, I love Jo Goodman books and have read lots of them. Whilst this is not her best, she is never a disappointment. What I like most about her books is the way they get right to the heart of the saga without making you sit through 200 pages of tedious descriptions of Edwardian England...or whatever it may be. This is the story of Rand Hamilton, a naturalist (not a nudist type of naturist....but someone who is into ecology and stuff). He is the usual hero, rugged, American, scarred and just a babe with a bit of a temper (don't you just love that). Claire Bancroft is the goddaughter of a English duke who wants Rand to take her to Polenesia to find her father and missing brother. There is a twist though, as legend would have it there is treasure buried in the islands by Rand's ancestors, the clue to the location being 2 riddles. There are other twists to the tale, most notably one to do with Claire that you discover in the 1st chapter and I will not spoil for anyone. It is the kind of "complication" that makes the story better but sometimes I find makes her a little weak. However, this is a good read and one that you find hard to put down especially when they begin to decipher the riddles - i was highly impressed by Miss Goodman's imagination. I would definately recommend this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Writing 15 Jun 2000
By ladybug10 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a gem. Set in the context of a treasure hunt through, of all places, the Polynesian Islands, it tells the story of a developing relationship between Claire Bancroft, daughter of an eccentric British naturalist, and Rand Hamilton, the last surviving son of a Charleston family devastated by the Civil War. Claire and Rand are thrown together by a two-part riddle that ultimately requires both their combined knowledge and skills in order to solve. The book stands out not only because of the unique premise, but also especially because of the characters, which are very well developed, with depth and believability. Their conversations are wonderful, and it feels like one is actually watching two real people fall in love slowly and deeply. Ms. Goodman manages to infuse the story with tenderness, sensuality, and humor all at once! The growing romance between Rand and Claire is also told in a manner that is refreshingly free of pettiness and artificial fights, because Claire has a condition which forces her to deal with the world without the usual coquettishness, and Rand won't let her feel sorry for herself. Instead, Ms. Goodman's writing manages to convey, in Rand's character, deep devotion without too much machismo or posturing.

The mystery is kept secret till near the end. The setting is unusual and somewhat exotic. I know I will want to read this book again, to catch all the nuances I missed the first time. I recommend it highly.

If you do get this book, read chapter 10 slowly and carefully. Hidden within it, in an almost off-hand interchange between Rand and Claire, is a powerfully beautiful and intense declaration of love that doesn't come along very often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read 19 May 2000
By Bonnie Gilbert - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Jo Goodman, one of my favorite authors, has once again written the beginning of a series that will surely please her faithful readers and attract an even new group of fans.

Desperate to rebuild his Charleston plantation, Rand Hamilton goes to London to find someone to finance his search for a long lost treasure. When his fiancer insists that he must bring along his god-child Claire Bancroft he refuses.

Claire is desperate to go on the journey to the South Pacific. She must find her father and brother and unlock the secrets of her past. Persuading Rand wasn't easy, but once persuaded she doesn't look back.

Rand and Claire make the journey of their lifetime in search of a treasure that is shrouded in secrets and riddles. During their journey the two fall in love, but can they unlock the secrets of Claire's past?

I enjoyed More Than You Know and I'm anticipating the continuation of this series. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars DON'T MISS THIS ONE! 2 May 2000
By G.C. Larkin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is without question Goodman's Best Work yet! Her story touches all the familiar areas of a great Romance novel, adventures with locales that are enthralling, intriguing villians, full-bodied and emotion inspiring secondary characters, love with such amazing sensitivity that you'll never forget Rand and Claire, and a story-line that keeps you flipping pages until the last. I don't want to give away any of this amazing plot with it's constant twists and surprises so let me just simply say you DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS ONE !
