The Rana Look: A Novel

REVIEWER'S OPINION:I enjoyed it. It's a feel good story. I liked someone in disguise and a couple getting to know each other based on what's inside not outside. I'm glad there was no big misunderstanding. There was some conflict when he learned her true identity, but it wasn't drawn out into a long, frustrating separation. There are some sex scenes, but they are done with no sex words which was ok. I think that was the norm back in the 1980s when it was written.STORY BRIEF:Rana had a dominating and unloving mother who pushed her into beauty pageants and modeling. Rana became a famous model. Due primarily to her mother's actions Rana left the business. She moved to Galveston,Texas, where she rented a room in Ruby's house. Rana gained some weight and wears baggy clothes and tinted glasses. She wears her hair in a way to hide part of her face. She paints pictures on clothing which she sells. She feels peaceful here.Ruby's nephew Trent is a professional football player with a shoulder injury. He comes to stay with Ruby while his shoulder heals. He's used to having any woman he wants. He loves `em and leaves `em. Rana wants to avoid him but has a hard time doing that living in the same house. She's the only woman around, and he sees her as a challenge. But then they start to fall in love. He still doesn't know who she is. She never lets him see her without her glasses on.DATA:Story length: 226 pages. Swearing language: mild. Sexual language: none.

Liked this book

Story has been told before, a slightly different twist

it came in good, but on the Web was listed as a CD but came in as a book, I know it is one of her older ones, but I guess my error for not checking further.

Very disappointed with this book. Not the type of writing I expect from Sandra Brown. I think she was churning out too many books faster than she could make them up. Very shotty story line, much of it was almost forced and the characters were flimsy. I had a hard time trying to finish this, which is unusual for Sandra Brown books. But bottomline, I would pass on this one.

I like everything Sandra Brown has written.It came in plenty of time. I thought it was on cd but I have a tape player so it wasn't a problem.

Book was received as promised and in excellent condition.

This was different in a great way

I love Rana story

Another gripping read

Loved this book. Really like Sandra Brown

野暮ったいメガネと服に身を包んだ元トップモデルのヒロインが、チャーミングでたくましいアメフト選手のヒーローに出会う所から物語は始まります。自分の素顔を明かせないヒロインに、徐々に惹かれていくヒーロー。一度は友情を誓った２人ですが、互いの想いは深まっていき・・・。　どちらかというと清純派のストーリーで、序盤から爽やかな印象です。ヒーローも、スポーツマンらしく大らかで明るいタイプなので、安心して見ていられます。ラブシーンはうっとりするほど素敵でした。文字も大きく、ページも少ないので、大作の間に軽く読むのに適していると思います。
