Pertama, ini novel tipis SB pertama yang saya puji. :-)
Kedua, covernya dibuat oleh orang Indonesia (tdk mengambil dari versi aslinya), dan kok kaya' Luna Maya ya... hehehe... entah karena kemiripan nama Luna - Rana atau karena si pembuat cover beranggapan bahwa Rana itu mirip Luna. :-)
Ketiga, adegan seksnya cukup membuat saya kipas-kipas kepanasan.
Keempat, buat cewek: mungkin suka penggambaran fisik Trent Gamblin saat berolahraga dengan hanya mengenakan celana...more

Kesan awal waktu melihat kover novel ini adalah: kovernya bagus! Seorang wanita dengan wajah tertutup topeng separuh yang hanya menampakkan sepasang mata berwarna hijau yang berkarakter kuat. Pemilihan warna kover kali ini cenderung lembut dan feminin.
Seperti kebanyakan novel Sandra Brown yang terbit di pertengahan tahun '80-an, novel yang satu ini lebih menawarkan aroma romance yang kental daripada romance-thriller yang menjadi ciri khas Sandra Brown akhir-akhir ini. Walaupun begitu...more

Betapa hebatnya pengaruh sebuah cover, buktinya hanya gara-gara wajah perempuan dengan topeng unik saya tertarik membaca buku terbaru Sandra Brown terbitan Gramedia. Paras Rana, berkisah tentang super model Rana yang mengasingkan di kota kecil dan meneruskan hobi melukisnya. Tidak hanya nama yang ia rubah, penampilanpun berubah drastis. Kaos longgar, celana baggy dan kacamata menjadi andalan utamanya.
Penampilan bukanlah segalanya, Rana malah memperoleh kebahagian sejatinya. Hidupnya ...more

3 ½ stars. Fluffy, fun, lovely story. I liked a guy falling in love with an unattractive girl. It’s on the short side.
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 ...more

I had started another book but really didn't feel like reading a blood-and-guts thriller and found this little romance on the table in the break room where people share books. It was a quick read.
Rana is a beautiful girl who has been managed by her mother. She became a top model but drew the line when her mother wanted her to marry the heir to a cosmetics empire. She packed up her things and went to Galveston, Texas where she is trying to be anonymous by wearing shapeless clothes and la...more

Kehidupan baru Rana terganggu.

Dia pindah ke kota yang tidak terkenal itu demi masa penyembuhan bahunya yang cedera, sedangkan Rana bertujuan untuk menyembunyikan identitasnya, merasa lelah dengan kehidupan ...more

buku tipis ini bisa membuatku bersyukur tentang kondisi fisik,
orang cantik tidak ingin menampilkan kecantikannya,
kata siapa cantik dengan mudah membuat orang bertekut lutut ?
seorang wanita yang ingin dicintai apa adanya bukan karena penampilan fisiknya tetapi dirinya,
kata-kata yang sederhana tetapi memiliki kesan yang mendalam,
bagian pertengahan kita mulai membaca adegan seks,
sebagai wanita, aku tidak terlalu memikirkan mungkin faktor sering membaca novel-novel...more

Susan menaruh semua harapannya pada Rana, dan menikmati kemewahan yang diperolehnya lewat Rana. Akan tetapi, tidak dem...more

Buku ini biasa saja. Konfliknya kurang kuat, karakternya tak begitu menonjol, jalan ceritanya mengalir terlalu tergesa-gesa, emosi dalam buku ini cenderung datar. Saya membaca buku ini karena nama pengarangnya saja, Sandra Brown, dan karena buku Sandra Brown pertama yang saya baca (Rainwater) begitu bagus dan begitu menyentuh.
Yah, sedikit kecewa dengan buku ini terutama karena saya mengharapkan lebih. Itu saja sih. Kisahnya standar.

Short book ...a little bit silly about supermodel who hiding out with the ugly glasses and clothes. Maybe others people thinking this book ridicilous and predictible. But who cares? I love this story...hahaa so entertaining and make me happy 
After listening to the Audio Book of THE RANA LOOK...
I LOVED IT!!
I laughed so hard & I talked back to the characters!
If you want to be thoroughly entertained & if you are having one of those days when you want some laughter in your day THE RANA LOOK is sure to PLEASE!
I had a great time with the(sweet) HERO TRENT !
Wow what a fun loving wild & keep me laughing type of HUNK!
What a treat to have a great feel good story entwined with Love & laughter well combined!

This was an older book that was a quick read. I really liked Rana right away, Trent was a little too much of a pig for me to really like, but they seemed a good match. I really respected Rana's choice to change her lifestly, but what I really loved was when she ripped Trent a new one, he deserved it and made a great point.
Mungkin ga yah di kehidupan asli, ada orang yang biasa hidup glamour, serba ada, serba mewah, dipuji orang karena kecantikannya, ternyata mau meninggalkan itu semua....
Penggambaran adegan-adegannya bener-bener bikin kepala snut-snut, gyahahhaaaa.....
Ending hubungan Rana dan Ibunya bener-bener sedih... bener-bener gak ada sentuhan kasih sayang ibu ke anaknya... T_T

This was an ok read for a romance. I understand it being dated as it was written in the early 80's but the universal theme to be loved for who you are inside and not outside is timeless. So taking into account the dated clothes and hair I would still reconmend it for a quick read.
I wouldn't say I finished this book... more like finished with this book. Well... I thought Sandra Brown might be good when I read Rainwater... but this one defines her as what she is... a formula writer. Oh well. I doubt I'll bother with her again.
I prefer romance stories that are also suspense or mystery stories eg. The Witness by the same author. That being said,it was light reading that I finished in one afternoon. If you enjoy romance stories per se, take some time to relax with a cup of hot chocolate and this book. I think you will find it very enjoyable.

This book was somewhat entertaining even if I didn't feel for the heroine's "plight" (She was so beautiful that people didn't see the "real" her...how terrible!) When she's thinking of her life, I heard the violins playing on the background.
At least I can say it wasn't very long.

Enjoyed this oldie. Very typical of its time. One thing I was glad of was at the end when everything came out, the hero listened to her explanation and reacted rationally.
Biasa aj ceritanya walaupun si Trent cinta sm Rana bukan dari wajah cantiknya dan jarang bgt hero itu ngeliat wanita bukan dari wajah cantik doang mealinkan dari kpribadiannya, sikapnya, dll..
overall kurang bagus ceritanya ^^
Settinya di Galveston mirip kaya settingnya Long Time Coming :)

Just bought a bunch of Sandra's early romance novels. Never disapointed with her books. Love that I can read them in one day. On to the next one!
simple and sweet, tp konfliknya kurang seru nich menurut aku, gak ada kejutan yg berarti,kaya novel2 Harlequin biasa...Lumayanlah buat ngisi waktu luang^^
Entah kenapa, kyanya ada yg kurang dr novel ini. Mungkin krn tlalu tipis kali yak, jd kesannya kok biasa ja jln ceritanya, kurang intriknya.
Very good read. Takes place in Galveston. You can see the scenery due to it's familiarity which brings the story to life.
Maybe I've outgrown the whole romance themes in favor of the mystery/suspense ones. But even then, why do I have trouble determining the difference between manly/masculine/macho actions and bully/assault/domination ones? Perhaps I'm just too old to please. Granted Ms Brown writes the BEST bedsheet scenes of anyone I've ever read, but I'm just not into manhandling in the guise of romance. She also has this "thing" about furry dudes and I don't share the belief that masculine body hair...more
setelah selesai baca novel ini, langsung ngerasa ini novel koq flat banget yah, ga kaya novel Sandra Brown yang lain
I liked it, I liked it, I liked it a lot.
This book was amazing and funny and amazing ;d;d;d
