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.
