Kate’s Creed: Thou shalt embrace singledom and be unbelievably,
inconceivably happy.
YEAH, RIGHT.
Kate Meadows is a successful San Francisco artist looking for a
nice, solid Christian man. So when not one, but two handsome
bachelors enter her orbit in rapid succession, her head is spinning
just a bit. Michael Palmier is a hunky and famous makeup artist who
actually seems to be flirting with her–rather than her
physically flawless housemate, Maia. Trouble is, he keeps handing
her business cards from various beauty professionals and plastic
surgeons. Is he trying to stamp out every last bit of
self-esteem she has?
Then there’s Dr. Clive Alexander, good-looking enough to be mistaken
for Brad Pitt, who sends Kate’s pulse skittering every time he comes
near. Too bad he’s only interested in her work–and doesn’t think
she’s much to look at. It’s enough to send a girl running for her
paint-splattered, relaxed-fit jeans and swearing off men altogether!
But after undergoing a makeover from Michael’s staff, Kate can’t be
oblivious to the admiring glances men throw her way. Maybe she
should try contacts…consider some fancy dental work…and you
know, that mole really could stand to go. The question now is, what
kind of work will Kate do on herself…and who exactly is she trying
to please?

Book Bargains Review

This is a really interesting novel focusing mainly on a young women's
struggles to balance the demands of life, a relationship with God, and
her love life. You will fall in love with Kate and you want her to
find happiness and acceptance. Leigh does an outstanding job of
bringing each of her characters to life on the page, and by the end of
the book, you feel as if each of them is a good friend.
While I feel that this book will be enjoyed more by young adults, this
mid-lifer found it a pleasure to read also.
