Having failed her last performance review with Zeus, Zoe is sent to Earth,
along with two of her sisters, with the imperative to inspire mortals to
beautify their lives, or else.
She has spent the last year working hard, and has no doubt her
accomplishments will earn a better review this time around. As the time
draws near for her to return to Mount Olympus, she accepts one last job,
decorating the stark home of computer expert Theo Maragos in order to
prepare it for a major photo shoot. Not only that, but she must give the
fashion-clueless CEO a complete make-over before that same shoot.
But as she spends time with the ever-cuter Theo, she finds that she is in
danger of breaking Zeus’s cardinal rule – not falling in love with a
mortal. Still, she finds she cannot regret her feelings for Theo, and
determines to find a way for them to be together forever.
MAKING OVER MR. RIGHT
is the second story I have read so far from author Judi McCoy, and I have
thoroughly enjoyed them both! Based on how much I liked the previous book,
ONE NIGHT WITH A GODDESS, I have purchased a number of her
other books. They are just that good. Now to just find time to read them
all… LOL You can imagine my delight, then, when I received MAKING
OVER MR. RIGHT for review, affording me the perfect excuse to move
it directly to the top of my to-be-read pile!
Ms. McCoy did not let me down with this book. It was just as fun, sexy and
full of heart as its predecessor. While it echoed the mood of ONE
NIGHT WITH A GODDESS, it is certainly its own story, complete with
some delightful twists that I managed to figure out before the story’s end.
Figuring them out didn’t make them any less effective, and I was overjoyed
with these surprises when they finally came to light in the end and watched
our beloved characters, Theo and Zoe, as everything was revealed to them.
Theo begins the story as a big nerd, and while he is still a nerd at the end
of the book, he is a much hotter one. It isn’t just his improved grooming
and his good looks that make him attractive, however. No, it is the love he
feels for Zoe, the way he treats her, the reverence and patience he has for
his aging father – I could go on and on. Suffice it to say that this man
has all the requirements for a true hero, albeit the gentler kind.
For a wonderful romance with a whimsy that belies its depth at first glance,
be sure to pick up a copy of MAKING OVER MR. RIGHT ASAP!
Don’t worry if you haven’t read the connected books to this one, as Judi
McCoy thoughtfully writes them so that they work extremely well as
standalone stories that can be read either independent of the others, or in
any order you prefer.
