Release Blitz & Giveaway: Operation Makeover by DJ Jamison

Release Date: October 25, 2018
Cover Design: Garrett Leigh @ Black Jazz Design
Will a makeover bring his fantasy to life or lead him to a love he never saw coming?

As a professional x-ray tech, Ridley has come a long way from the geeky kid Jace took under his wing in high school. Not that his best friend has noticed. Tired of pining, Ridley decides to show Jace what he’s missing. And what better way than with a newer, more sophisticated look?

Cole's clients at the salon where he works love him dearly. Men? Not so much. He has dated one mistake after the next, and he’s beginning to wonder if a guy exists who can handle his fabulousness. Then Ridley lands in his chair.

Cole agrees to be Ridley’s makeover guru, and they click effortlessly. But when Cole offers to help Ridley with his sexual confidence, passion flares and boundaries blur.

Ridley’s had his heart set on Jace a long time, but when he’s with Cole it feels too real to deny. Now he has a choice to make: the friend he’s always wanted or the man who’s given him a whole new lease on life.

When I signed up to review Operation Makeover, I thought it was going to be cute and quirky, more of a fun read. It was that and so much more, drastically exceeding expectations. The story of Ridley and Cole was sweet, emotional, quirky, fun, and at times funny. Both were trying to overcome self-esteem issues, some buried more deeply than others.

The emotion that bled through the pages and through this story was was more than I expected, and at times, I found myself tearing up a bit. I'm not saying that you are going to need a box of tissues for this, but have one handy for certain parts. (You know me, I'll always warn you.) On top of the emotional aspect, the story was never slow, always moved forward, and engaged the reader. It kept me enthralled. And the characters...they were real and could be anyone that you know. They were two men who were struggling to find love, accept love, and to accept themselves.

I give this story 4.5 stars. Be fabulous! (Read the book and you'll understand!)
