Liliana Hart (Author)

Book Description

Addison Holmes is at it again. When priceless Russian gems are stolen on their way to Savannah and the courier is murdered, all the clues lead back to an escort service that seems above reproach. But looks can be deceiving.

Throw in a sexy detective and a dangerous FBI agent, and Addison finds out very quickly that she's in way over her head. But nothing is going to stop her from getting her man.

About the Author

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, so she finally decided to hang up her hat and let someone else have all the fun. (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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful June 19, 2012

As soon as I got the email that Whiskey Sour was released, I was here buying it. Now, $4.99 is the upper amount that I pay for e-books and I typically shy away from paying more then $2.99 for sequels. I needed a good book to lose myself in today, so I bought it and immediately sat down with a cup of tea. I got up twice ,for tea refills, as I devoured the book.

I LOVE Addison. She is a believable person and almost as accident prone as I am. The book doesn't depend on far-fetched theories or explanation, but well developed characters, plot, and relationships. There are no lulls in the story and while you will not be shocked by a surprised villain, the mystery/case keeps your attention.

There is tension- sexual and other, throughout the book. Every character- minor and major, is developed and we know more about them then when the book began. Addison has some hard luck, but doesn't wallow and whine- although she does tequila and DQ!

Liliana Hart is a new to me author, after reading this and Whiskey Rebellion, I will be reading more by her.

I couldn't wait to download Whiskey Sour to my Kindle as soon as I woke up Tuesday morning! Addison is quirky, funny and sassy! Her antics had me laughing out loud. Throw in a few Dairy Queen Blizzards, some stolen jewels, and a couple of sexy law enforcement hunks and you have the perfect blend. I am already jones-ing for another Addison Holmes adventure!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful madcap adventure...loved it!!! June 20, 2012

By Cynseer Booklover

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I fell in love with Addison Holmes in Whiskey Rebellion....and am now a full fledged fan with the second in the series, Whiskey Sour. Liliana Hart has the remarkable gift of drawing a reader into the lives of her characters, making them real and likable....and writes with such a zany sense of humor...I just love her books. I followed the relationship between Addison and Nick with glee....and then there came Matt Savage...and I swooned...then add in all the madcap adventure and danger...the mystery and excitement...whew...this book was fabulous! I highly recommend, and cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out. Kudos to Liliana Hart for a wonderful book!!! You rock!!!

25 THINGS ABOUT ME!


1.) I have a Coke first thing every morning instead of coffee.

2.) I try to read at least one book a day (when I'm not on deadline), sometimes two or three if I have the itch. Reading is one of my greatest pleasures.

3.) I decided to be a writer my freshman year of college. Which, of course, is why I majored in music and art history.

4.) My husband is my best friend. I never get tired of hanging out with him.

5.) I started writing my first book when I was eighteen. It was about a 30-year-old virgin assassin. Yes, you read that right. It's buried in the far corner of my closet.

6.) I didn't complete my first book until I was twenty-five, but I've written nineteen books since then. I'm 32.

7.) I love being a writer. It gives me an excuse to think about different ways to kill people and to take weird vacations for the tax deductions.

8.) I could eat macaroni and cheese every day. I love it! But my hips do not.

9.) I'm very slow to make new friends. I'm a pretty solitary person, so when you see me at booksignings and conventions, I'm completely out of my comfort zone, which is why it's so nice when I have readers come up and talk to me like they already know me. It puts me at ease.

10.) I have four children. Two girls and two boys, various ages. My house is a zoo. It's a miracle I ever get one word on the page.

11.) I met my husband when I was 14. We were high school sweethearts.

12.) I love to travel. I'm perfectly content to wake up on random mornings and say, "Let's go here today." In fact, I do that frequently. There are still so many places I'd love to see. We went to Costa Rica this summer and Scotland is in the cards for next summer.

13.) I spent a summer in Ireland when I was in college with a random family I'd never met or spoken to before. It was one of the bravest and most adventurous things I've done. A great experience.

14.) I hated high school. If I could go back and do it over I'd try to graduate early and get the heck out of there.

15.) I've gotten pregnant twice while on birth control pills.

16.) I performed at Carnegie Hall when I was in college, and toured Europe with a percussion ensemble one summer.

17.) I spent four years in college majoring in Percussion. It is now completely useless since I'm writing books full time, but it does give me an advantage when playing Rock Band.

18.) I'm addicted to gaming. When I take vacation, a good part of the time goes to Dragon Age.

19.) The cleanest place I've ever been is Switzerland.

20.) I eloped in Las Vegas and don't regret one minute of it. We've been married 12 years.

21.) Purple is my favorite color. Go Frogs! (TCU alum)

22.) I love a good mystery.

23.) I've had impacted wisdom teeth for years, but I can't seem to stop getting pregnant long enough to get them taken out.

24.) The Keurig is the best invention known to man. I love my English breakfast tea.

25.) I like to sit down in the shower. I'll often stick my Kindle in a plastic bag and read in there for an hour.
