Will a makeover bring his fantasy to life or lead him to a love he never saw coming?
As a professional X-ray tech, Ridley has come a long way from the geeky kid Jace took under his wing in high school. Not that his best friend has noticed. Tired of pining, Ridley decides to show Jace what he's missing. And what better way than with a newer, more sophisticated look?
Cole's clients at the salon where he works love him dearly. Men? Not so much. He has dated one mistake after the next, and he's beginning to wonder if a guy exists who can handle his fabulousness. Then Ridley lands in his chair.
Cole agrees to be Ridley's makeover guru, and they click effortlessly. But when Cole offers to help Ridley with his sexual confidence, passion flares and boundaries blur.
Ridley's had his heart set on Jace a long time, but when he's with Cole it feels too real to deny. Now he has a choice to make: the friend he's always wanted or the man who's given him a whole new lease on life.
Part of the Hearts and Health series, but can be read as a standalone.
Operation Makeover
This book was a delight from start to finish. Ridley, the main character, is relatable and ready for a change. His transformation is not just about his appearance, but also about embracing who he is. The chemistry between Ridley and Cole is instant, and their banter adds humor throughout the story.
Cole is the perfect counterpart to Ridley, both in and out of the salon. He's got this wonderful confidence and flair that makes him such an engaging character. Their interactions feel natural and honest, making the reader root for their connection. The way their relationship develops is smooth and inviting, making you want to keep reading.
The backdrop of the salon and the makeover concept brings a fun twist to the typical friend-to-lover trope. And while Ridley's feelings for Jace create some tension, it's the growing bond with Cole that really shines. This story is a blend of sweet moments, laughter, and a bit of self-discovery. Operation Makeover has warmth and heart, and I loved reading it. Recommended.
