Sumár recenzie
Leah Thompsonová vyrastala v yorkshirskej dedinke a po krátkom, osudovom lete s Brettom Delanceym ju objaví rodina Delanceyovcov; keď ju neskôr zachytí portrét v londýnskej galérii, začne medzinárodná kariéra modelky na mólach v Miláne, Londýne a New Yorku. Hoci si užíva luxus a slávu, spoznáva temné stránky modelingu — obťažovanie paparazzov, vplyvných majiteľov módnych domov a stane sa svedkyňou samovraždy kamarátky. Jej minulosť je spätá s tragédiou dvoch mladých súrodencov v Poľsku počas druhej svetovej vojny a keď sa začnú odhaľovať rodinné tajomstvá, Leah musí čeliť zabudnutému proroctvu a osudu. Recenzentka oceňuje, že autorka Lucinda Riley (v upravenej podobe od syna Harryho Whittakera) ponúka prepletené dejové línie a silné emócie, no kritizuje nepresvedčivý romantický záver a miestami pritiahnuté rozuzlenie; napriek tomu považuje Utajený osud za jednu z lepších Rileyovej kníh.
