THE CHRISTMAS MAKEOVER Blurb Blitz

The Christmas Makeover

by Susan Lute


~~~~~~~~~~~~~


GENRE: Sweet, small town romance


~~~~~~~~~~~~~



BLURB:


He’s ready for the lights…


Baker Grant Reed loves discovering new Christmas recipes, making people smile, and Angel Point—not necessarily in that order. But when his editor turns down his proposal for a Christmas cookbook, he must show her how serious he is about becoming the premier pastry chef in the country. He turns to his best friend, Faith—if anyone can give him a complete makeover that will turn heads, she can.


She knows how to make things sparkle…


In her past, Faith Hathaway was a costume designer for some of Broadway’s most prestigious plays. Now, after moving to Angel Point to help her grandfather, she owns and operates a vintage boutique and helps out at the local theater. When Grant asks for a makeover, she’s torn—she loves him the way he is, mismatched socks and all.


In exchange, he promises to show Faith, who has never enjoyed the holiday season, the magic of an Angel Point Christmas. But as the two grow closer, Grant can’t help but wonder…has he got his Christmas wish all wrong?

EXCERPT:


The bribe worked. As quick as Santa's wink, Faith was there, unlocking the door. He accepted the silent invitation as she let him in out of the cold and took the coffee cup he offered. 


"I see how this is going, Faith Hathaway. The price of admission is a threat to give away your food."


"I'm sorry, Grant. I got a box of Christmas snow globes yesterday and was making room for them in the display case. I can't help it if I got sidetracked by how beautiful this batch is."


Faith, a little flustered, was so dang cute. Just telling him about snow globes made her brown eyes sparkle. Her long blond hair was pulled into a ponytail that cascaded down her back nearly to her waist. She wore a soft rose, vintage-style dress that clung to all the right places—places that weren't appropriate for a friend to notice.


Shaking off the momentary lapse, he followed her into the warmth of her shop. A glass display case sat in the middle of the store, directly in front of the door. She was right. The Christmas globes were something special to behold.


She eyed the pastry box in his hands. “So, what have you brought for me?” 


“I'm calling it a Christmas fritter.” He shrugged, a little smug as he handed her the container. 


Opening the box, she held it close to her face and, closing her eyes, breathed in. “Oh. My. Word. It smells heavenly.”


Now that was what he called success. From the look on her face, he'd hit a home run. “Taste it.”


Eyes open now and bright with anticipation, she broke off a piece, put the bite in her mouth, and hummed softly as she chewed.
