I found this book to be entertaining and I enjoyed reading it. I enjoyed the characters and the message was well received.

Her husband’s untimely passing shattered Angel’s dreams of family. Winston, her late husband’s business partner, tries to help her move forward. A seemingly innocent makeover ignites an unforeseen spark between them. Can Win allow himself to find true love?

I enjoyed the light-hearted tone and writing style of this book. I liked the characters as well. I wasn’t crazy about Win’s idea that Angel has to turn herself into a vamp in order to attract a husband. If you can overlook that, you might find it to be a fun read.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
