Paradise #1

Paradise Disguised

Rate this book
Hardware heiress, Anna Hollis, withdrew from life after her mother's tragic death. But when Dylan Maguire walks into her store, she decides things have to change. She's determined to seduce the sexy stranger, but giving her heart away isn't an option. She's already lost one person she loved, and she's not willing to go through the heartbreak of losing another. Dylan Maguire’s weekly visits to Hollis Tools, just to get a glimpse of the curvy brunette muddling his mind and putting his libido into overdrive is getting tiresome. He’s ready to put his ladies’ man reputation to the test and seduce the woman who’s played the main role in so many of his private fantasies, but he doesn’t realize more could be at stake than just satisfying his lust. As the ultimate love ‘em and leave ‘em man, Dylan finds that loving Anna isn’t difficult at all, but getting her to love him in return is quite the challenge.

About the author

Liliana Hart

204 books3,294 followers
Liliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts).

Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller—a dazzling adventure—where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex.

Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America.

Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers.

Enjoy the Adventures!

I love everything Liliana Hart writes. She is one of my top favorite Authors and if you have not read anything by Liliana yet you are missing out on something great. This novel had Suspense, Romance, and a bit of Mystery. As soon as I started reading I knew I had to finish it kept me intrigued through out and there was never a dull moment. This author is awesome ;)

If you are fan of Small Town Romance you will love Liliana Hart's Paradise Disguised. It was such an excellent read. Small town girl Anna, not realizing how beautiful she really is and terrified of love because of her Mother's death falls for the handsome lover of all women Dylan. But this time it's the man putting all on the line with a suspensefull twist. You will love this book.

This book was OK, average. Anna's change seems forced, and her running away seems immature. Then, it all nicely gets sorted too easily.

Dylan, at least, knows what he's about, and keeps up jus pursuit. They also don't talk a whole lot, so things are a bit jumpy.

Not Hart's best work, she's kind of inconsistent for me.

Another great book by Liliana Hart.

With this book she introduces us to a whole set of new characters dealing with their own unique circumstances. Can they overcome their differences to find happiness together? I am not saying as I do not want to spoil the story for others.

Liliana is such an awesome author, her characters are so real and the surroundings make you feel as though you are there with them.

I am looking forward to seeing what else Paradise, Texas has to throw at us in the future.

this is a read where you find yourself chuckling a bit, its usually the man doing the running away. in this one its the woman, but once she makes her mind up to go for him then its no holds barred. anna makes some suprising changes not just in her appearance, becoming the talk of the town and the target of threats. Dylan doesn't stand a chance even though he has already fallen. a well written and interesting story that has love, humour and a bit of mystery

This was a light and humourous, yet erotic read. It kind of subtly draws you in. It was my first time reading Liliana Hart's work. I would definitely be interested in reading about Mel and Mitchell's story. I was in stitches over her (Mel) avoidance tactics!

I will definitely be reading more of Ms. Hart.

Wish it had been longer considering the price. But it's Liliana Hart doing what she does best - mixing romance with suspense and fun. And sex. Sexual tension that's bottled up and explodes.
It's one of her best novels and I'm anxiously waiting for the second entry (hoping there'll be many more).
