Makeover Miracle
When reality TV transforms a shy wallflower's life, love could be the most surprising makeover of all.
Abbey's nightmare begins the moment she finds herself on the reality TV stage of Makeover Miracle, thanks to her well-meaning but mischievous friend, Jennifer. As if vomiting on live television wasn't enough, Abbey's guarded world crumbles with her uninviting appearance broadcast to every living room in Australia. But the greatest challenge lurks behind the scenes: falling head over heels for the show's elusive producer, Quinn Campbell.
A self-imposed benchwarmer in life, Abbey has spent years avoiding attention and following the rules. Yet, this unlikely spotlight reveals more than her vulnerable side—it exposes feelings she never dared entertain. For Quinn, the charismatic and unattainable producer, has captured her heart in ways she can't ignore. Still, Abbey struggles with insecurity, questioning the authenticity of her emotions and the notion of someone as captivating as Quinn returning them.
Quinn Campbell knows the glitzy world of TV demands superficiality, yet something about Abbey breaks through the facade. Her unassuming beauty, kindness, and hidden shine grip his heart, challenging his strictly enforced rule not to mingle with show contestants. With attraction escalating and boundaries blurring, Abbey and Quinn must determine if love can triumph in the cut-throat arena of show business—and if taking the risk is the real miracle.
If you delight in the romantic allure of Sophie Kinsella and the emotional depth of Marian Keyes, "Makeover Miracle" will charm you.

Mr Campbell, commercial break ending in ten seconds,’ a voice sounded faintly through the earpiece he’d taken from his ear and which now hung around his neck.
Campbell. Quinn Campbell. His name snapped in recognition. It was often in the gossip magazines, linked with actresses and models – with pictures of them hanging off his arm. The guy was a stunner and knew how to use his looks. She’d often poured over photographs, imagining herself to be that woman on his arm.
Quinn took her hands in his and helped her to her feet. She didn’t have time to protest. His hands were firm, strong, and the skin was warm and soft. She faltered. He steadied her. Her hands moved to his upper arms. Gripped. Her breath stuck in her throat as her eyes flew to his. She was lost between the feel of heated flesh and the brightness of his gaze.
The audience cheered, cat-wails and screams capped the overall noise. He hooked his finger beneath her chin and she sank further into his eyes. Grey. The colour of a gathering winter storm.
‘You can do this, Abbey.’
‘Mr Campbell, five seconds to air.’
‘Stop frowning and say yes. Don’t let this opportunity pass,’ Quinn said. The belief in his voice touched her somewhere hidden, somewhere so deep it spoke to her soul.
‘Four. Three.’
‘Say yes, Abbey. They’re cheering for you.’
‘Two.’
She nodded, a slight movement, and was rewarded with a smile that flowed over his face and reached the depths of his eyes. She was gone. Totally, completely, head over heels gone. She was the stupidest girl on earth. She couldn’t afford to feel like this again.
He squeezed her elbows. ‘That’s my girl. Now, back on stage with you.’
‘On air.’
Abbey floated back to her seat, unaware of how her feet moved to get her there. She glanced at Quinn again, but he was lost amidst a group of people. Caroline welcomed the television audience back to the show, the audience cheered and the lights were on them. But she hardly noticed. All she could think about was a pair of storm-grey eyes, and just how much of a fool she could be.

I love the strength and focus on Abbey and Jennifer's friendship. Abbey and Quinn also developed a strong relationship as well. I was routing for all the characters from the beginning. I also loved that despite the makeover and tv aspect of the show, looks didn't matter in the end. Instead, character development was the main focus. I highly recommend this read."
"An easy story to read. I connected with the main character - Abbey - right away. Whilst some readers might find it hard to believe that an ordinary woman like Abbey could get with a high profile TV producer, the story does offer hope to the countless millions of us ordinary women who believe we have to be stick thin to succeed in life.I give this book full marks - five stars ***** - for addressing the issues of low self-esteem, lack of confidence and distorted body image. When heroines are normal, curvy women, or even women who are slightly overweight then you know the story is going to be a breath of fresh air. Great read for all lovers of this genre."
