The author of forty-five New York Times bestselling novels, Sandra Brown is one of the romance world’s most acclaimed writers. Rendezvous magazine has praised her as a novelist whose “larger than life heroes and heroines make you believe all the warm, wonderful, wild things in life.” Now, in the classic romantic tradition her fans have come to love, here is another sexy and extraordinary tale of passion--the story of a woman who gives up fame and fortune...and discovers true love in the last place she expected to find it.
The Rana Look
The modeling world called it the Rana Look...the exotic, one-of-a-kind allure that only supermodel Rana Ramsey could deliver. With her green eyes, olive skin, and wildly lustrous auburn hair, Rana posed for ad campaigns and strutted down runways all over the world, naming her own price to sell everything from cosmetics to women’s lingerie.
But all of that suddenly ended one day when she looked her demanding mother-manager in the eye and said, “Enough.” That was the day Rana packed her things and left New York--and modeling--forever. Settling in Miss Ruby’s boardinghouse in Galveston, Texas, Rana finds success with her own business--and cultivates a new look to go with her new life. Now her beautiful eyes are shielded behind tinted glasses, her famous figure hidden under shapeless dresses, her trademark wild hair falling straight down her back. Rana knows she’ll never attract a man this way, and that’s just fine with her--that is, until Ruby’s nephew, football star Trent Gamblin, moves in to nurse his injured shoulder. Ruggedly handsome, charming, and undeniably charismatic, Trent is the kind of man that Rana finds irresistible...the kind of man she is certain would never look twice at a woman as ordinary as the new Rana.
But to her surprise, Trent seems unfazed by her Plain Jane look. For he is drawn to a beauty that Rana can’t hide. He is determined to learn the mystery behind the elusive, reclusive boarder with the secret past. To do so, he proposes an unusual pact: they will only be friends, nothing more.As the days pass, Rana and Trent are drawn together in a sensual idyll unlike anything either of them has ever known. But the outside world cannot be kept at bay forever. And Rana fears that when Trent learns the truth about her past, he’ll feel betrayed and deceived. Even worse, he’ll never be able to see her as she truly is. Then an unexpected tragedy strikes, and the stakes seem higher than ever. Now they must look deep into each other’s heart to determine if their relationship is just an impossibly erotic dream--or a dream of love come true.

語言風格上,這本書展現齣一種非常成熟且富有韻律感的文筆。它並非那種追求華麗辭藻堆砌的“炫技”型寫作,而是恰到好處的、極具畫麵感的錶達。作者似乎非常擅長使用比喻和象徵手法,將抽象的情感或復雜的社會現象,轉化為讀者可以觸摸、可以感知的具體意象。例如,他對光影的運用,常常用來暗示角色的命運或故事走嚮,充滿瞭詩意的暗示性。讀起來,語句的節奏感很好,有長句的舒緩,也有短句的乾脆有力,形成瞭一種獨特的閱讀“音樂性”。有時候我會特意放慢速度,去品味某段話的結構和用詞的精妙,感覺就像是在欣賞一首精心譜寫的樂麯,韻味悠長。這種對語言本身的尊重和打磨,讓閱讀體驗從單純的信息獲取,升華為一種審美享受。
评分這本書的封麵設計簡直是一場視覺的盛宴,那種略帶做舊的質感,配上精心挑選的字體排版,立刻就能抓住路過書店的任何一個人的眼球。我當時是完全被它的裝幀吸引住的,幾乎是毫不猶豫地就拿起來翻閱瞭。內頁的紙張質量也齣乎意料地好,那種微微泛黃的米白色調,讀起來非常舒服,一點也不刺眼,長時間閱讀下來眼睛也不會感到疲勞。尤其是章節開頭的插畫或者裝飾性的小圖騰,雖然不直接講述故事,但它們巧妙地營造瞭一種特定的氛圍,讓人感覺自己仿佛走進瞭那個特定的年代或場景,對文字內容的代入感一下子就被拉高瞭好幾個檔次。裝幀的細節處理得非常考究,比如書脊的鎖綫工藝,一看就是下瞭血本的製作,能感受到齣版方在將這本書實體化的過程中傾注的心血。這種對物質形態的重視,反而讓我對書中的內容抱有瞭更高的期待——畢竟,一本如此用心製作的書,其內涵想必也不會讓人失望吧。我特彆喜歡那種實體書獨有的“分量感”,拿在手上沉甸甸的,而不是現在很多輕薄的印刷品。
评分整本書的主題探討相當深刻,但它處理得非常巧妙,沒有那種居高臨下的說教感。它更像是在提齣一個引人深思的問題,然後將所有關於這個問題的不同側麵都攤開在你麵前,任由你自行去拼湊和理解。我尤其欣賞作者對曆史宿命感和個體能動性之間關係的探討。它既承認瞭時代洪流的巨大慣性,又強調瞭在看似無法抗拒的命運麵前,人類精神依然可以展現齣非凡的抵抗與超越。這種平衡的處理,讓故事在保持悲劇美感的同時,又注入瞭一股堅韌不拔的力量。讀完之後,我沒有感到被什麼沉重的道理壓垮,反而獲得瞭一種開闊的視野,仿佛對我們所處的這個世界,又多瞭一層理解的深度。這絕不是一本讀完就丟掉的書,它會長期地停留在我的書架上,並且時不時地會勾起我重新審視某些觀點的衝動。
评分故事情節的推進節奏把握得相當精準,前半部分鋪陳細節,營造氛圍,像是在緩緩拉開一幅巨大的曆史畫捲,你甚至能聞到空氣中塵土飛揚的味道和舊物特有的黴香。作者的敘事功力體現在他對場景描繪的細緻入微,每一個場景都像是由無數精準的碎片拼貼而成,既有宏大的曆史背景,又不失對日常瑣碎的捕捉,比如對某個特定時期人們著裝習慣的描述,或是對街頭巷尾食物氣味的刻畫,這些都極大地豐富瞭讀者的感官體驗。然而,這種緩慢並非拖遝,而是為後來的爆發蓄力。當關鍵衝突爆發時,敘事陡然加速,那些前期埋下的伏筆和看似不經意的對話瞬間點燃,形成瞭一種強烈的戲劇張力,讓人忍不住一口氣讀完,甚至會因為擔心後續發展而心跳加速。這種高低起伏的節奏控製,讓閱讀過程充滿瞭驚喜和期待,完全沒有那種平鋪直敘的枯燥感。
评分人物塑造是這本書最讓我拍案叫絕的地方。它沒有給我那種臉譜化的英雄或惡棍,書中的每一個主要角色都像是我現實生活中認識的某個復雜的人。他們身上那種矛盾性被展現得淋灕盡緻,一個看似冷酷無情的人,可能在某個不經意的瞬間流露齣柔軟的內心;一個看似軟弱退讓的角色,卻能在關鍵時刻爆發齣驚人的韌性和智慧。作者似乎對人性的幽暗與光輝都有著深刻的洞察,他沒有急於去評判角色,而是客觀地展示瞭他們在特定環境壓力下的選擇和掙紮。特彆是主角的心路曆程,那種在理想與現實、責任與自由之間的拉扯,簡直太真實瞭。我能清晰地感受到他每一次選擇背後的沉重代價,這種復雜性使得人物形象極其立體,讓人在閤上書本之後,依然會時不時地想起他們,思考著如果是我,會做齣怎樣的決定。
