At 33, Kate Meadows, a talented San Francisco artist, despairs of ever finding "The One." She's sworn off men and decides to embrace being single...until two handsome men enter her life.While Michael, the famous cosmetologist, pursues her, he is also on a crusade to improve her looks. The business cards in her purse testify to his efforts to steer her toward plastic surgeons and beauty experts. Maybe he's right. Kate enjoys the attention, but confesses to her friend, Belle, there are no sparks.
When Dr. Clive Alexander hires her to do a mural in the Children's Burn Unit, Kate finds her heart going pitter-patter for the brooding surgeon. Yet, his aversion to all things Christian is a major drawback, as is his apparent lack of interest in her.
She looks at those business cards, and embarks on a pathway to beauty. Will her efforts result in a walk down the aisle? In her quest for Mr. Right, Kate discovers someone else...herself.
This delightful book explores a woman's self-esteem issues with humor and a refreshing candor. Tamara Leigh keeps the pace moving along, and throws in some delightful characters to advise Kate and keep her grounded.
Please note, I did not receive any fees to review this book. I won it in a blog contest, and found it well worth my reading time.

Hi Jill -
I've rarely been disappointed in a book I've won. Giveaways have been an awesome blessing for me with being out of work.
Promoting authors and their work is a privilege.
Blessings,
Susan :)
The story sounds like a good one although probably not in a genre that I would normally read-- but who knows.
Noticed in a comment on another blog that you said you had plateaued in followers. Well, since I hate to see growth stop I've added my name to your list. Hope you will check out my blog as well and let me know what you think. I feel like I've seen you're name in my comments so maybe you've visited before. Then again I've seen your name in comments a lot--I'm surprised I wasn't following already.

Tossing It Out
Hi Lee -
Tamara's genre is Chick Lit. I don't usually read it either, but I'm loving her books. :)
Thanks for taking pity on this Blogger and becoming a Follower. I've seen your name around also, but can't recall if I've been on your blog. I'll pop over there now. :)
