There are so many very nice reviews rolling in,
I decided to put them all in one place!

     Elissa Baker’s hair was a mess, and her clothes were streaked with dirt from working in the garden. She had made a quick trip to the store, not taking time to clean up. Her car insurance was due and she needed to buy gas. Three strangers walked up to her and offered her money to go on a blind date.
     Elissa showed up for the date dressed to perfection. Greg Moretti was awe-struck. The four men were always playing pranks on each other. Greg and Elissa agreed to play a little trick of their own. They would go out together for a month to win a $1,000 bet. He pretended to be in love with her, and she agreed to act like a dumpy plain Jane. Only, soon, Greg could not deny his feelings for her. Can he convince Elissa that he truly loves her? Throw in the mob and murder for an exciting mixture of romance, suspense, and humor.
     I eagerly turned the pages to see what would happen next between the two great lead characters. The sensual tension between Greg and Elissa is delicious. Excellent read!

Review Your Book
"Addictive" 5 Stars

How many times have our parents told us to never judge a book by its cover? In Ms. Hart’s erotic romance thriller Looks Are Deceiving, the title says it all. This tantalizing story will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Moreover, the sexual chemistry between Greg and Elissa will set your body on fire. Greg is one ruggedly handsome, sensual Italian who knows how to mesmerize a woman with his mix of dominance and kind-heartedness both in and out of bed. His desire to take care of Elissa is endearing and will make you want to switch places with her in a New York minute. The light bondage and role play between the couple will definitely warm you in all the right places on a cold winter’s night. To be honest, I couldn’t get enough of them. As I anxiously hit the next page button on my Kindle, I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. 

The plot of the story is realistic in that Ms. Hart will have you questioning if there’s more to each character than what’s actually being said, which only brings the story to life. Although she allows the reader to learn some of their secrets upfront, she also maintains a high level of suspense by not divulging everything, which balances the plot and only piqued my curiosity even more. The fears exhibited by Greg and Elissa are realistic considering everything that they have experienced in life both in the past and present. The ole saying that opposites attract is on the money in Elissa and Greg’s case because they definitely complement one another. In fact, they complete one another if the truth be told, especially when they both decide to live in the moment. 

In Looks Are Deceiving, Ms. Hart provides the reader with a fast-paced, action-packed story that will have you begging for more at every turn. Although I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next, I must admit that I was somewhat sad to see the book come to an end. I hope that Looks Are Deceiving is the first book in a series that allows us more insight into the other characters’ lives. I would love to see what happens to Penny and Julian, as well as Derek, Greg’s brother. In addition, I would love an update on Greg and Elissa, as well as Allen and Sissy. Two thumbs up to Ms. Hart for providing us with a heartfelt story that will make you laugh and cry, while covering your body in goose bumps from the sexual tension emanating between Gregg and Elissa. If you’re looking for a book that will warm your heart, bring a smile to your face, and warm you on a cold winter’s night from the scorching hot sex scenes, then Looks Are Deceiving is definitely the book to read. I would definitely recommend Looks Are Deceiving to my friends.

Whipped Cream: 4.5 Cherries out of 5!

Just Erotic Romance Reviews
4.5 out of 5 Stars


Scoring a blind date was the last thing on Elissa Baker’s mind when she goes grocery shopping looking like a bedraggled puppy. Delighted at her less-than-satisfactory appearance, three guys offer her money to have dinner with their friend. The mystery man turns out to be handsome restaurateur Greg Moretti who is knee-deep in solving troubles at his family restaurant. But one whiff of Elissa’s butterscotch toffee body spray and Greg’s heart is a goner. She is just as taken with the enigmatic man but what will she choose if she has to pick between love and her lifelong dream?

Elissa’s personality is a mystery, especially to Greg. She is presented as a fun loving, normal woman but there is a lot going on inside that intrigues and mystifies. She is a whole package and I loved every bit that I discovered but couldn’t understand her reluctance to show her dreams. Greg is a fine man. He knows his responsibilities and can become a wonderful support system for anyone when the need arises. Their coming together was all part of an interesting bet to get back on the childish prank his friends played, but I wasn’t prepared for all the simmering heat that their union generated. Elissa and Greg uncover each other’s potential during the whole course of their budding relationship and the intensity is evident in the sex scenes. The lovemaking scenes will delight readers who want their zings mixed in perfectly with the ongoing storyline. The secondary characters are mostly integral parts of Greg’s past and I loved the banter and camaraderie between them. All the female characters have a great deal of strength and spunk and I liked knowing them. A few sub-plots join in the main one but it is a relief that it doesn’t get tangled up. The mystery was decent and I was really looking forward to meeting the villain. Ms. Hart managed to grab my interest with a clever opening and held my interest till the end. All in all, Looks Are Deceiving is a fast-paced, adventure filled story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Nicely Done!

Here's the Review!

Looks are Deceiving is in itself a deceit. It starts out lighthearted with a prank being pulled by three lifelong friends on a fourth. They seek and out and proposition the most unattractive female they can find and offer to pay her to go on a date with their friend, Greg Moretti. Being a broke student, who is seriously debating if she can afford real ketchup, Elissa takes them up on their offer. The joke is on the three when Elissa shows up for her date and is a bombshell. They caught her at her worst after a long day of yard work.

Enter Greg. He’s the fortunate recipient of his friends blind date prank. She instantly attracts him, but he has no time for a relationship. He’s running the family business and trying to solve the murder of his father.

What I thought would be a fun read turned out to be a darn good mystery. The dialogue and attraction between Greg and Elissa was intriguing. Neither wanted or was ready for a relationship, but couldn’t help themselves. Added in, Greg proposed that they keep fooling his friends so Elissa could get the money from the bet that originated the prank in the first place, and to prove a lesson to his friends. This added another dimension to the story.

As with any romance, each has their secrets, and they must out in the end. Both had good reasons for keeping them, and I appreciated how they handled themselves. Secondary characters were well-written, and I liked the storylines that followed them.

Definitely a read worth picking up.
