Synopsis
A charming short story
about beauty, the beholder, and believing in yourself.
Bridget knows she isn’t
beautiful; her ex made that point abundantly clear. So when her online-only
romance suddenly leads to a real-life blind date, she beelines to the salon for
a makeover. She’s dismayed and embarrassed when her usual stylist isn’t
available and the sexy Javier steps in.
Javier has long been aware
of the timid but kind woman, and vows to take this opportunity to make her see
that she's beautiful on the outside, as well as in. Will he succeed in keeping
his own feelings at bay and style her sexy?
My Thoughts
I normally don’t like
novellas but since I have so many on my Kindle I figured this past weekend I
would finally just read a bunch of them. I really wanted to like this but I just
couldn’t, I just couldn’t believe the connection between the two
characters. I liked the whole idea of the online
romance meeting thing, but I just felt they were making Bridget into this ugly
duckling person which I didn’t buy into. Without giving it away I just felt
this novella was quite predictable, no real surprises. It had the making of
something great; but just fell kind of flat in my eyes.
