Neurosurgeon Julia Fitzgerald graduated high school at fourteen, whizzed through med school and even became a successful navy captain. Alas, when the subject is romance, she's a dunce. No amount of textbook learning can help her find a date or understand what men really want.
When handsome-as-heck contractor Kane Chatterson begins renovating Julia's house, she finds him…distracting. Is it his strong, tanned forearms? His quiet, confident manner? Mr. Sexy Flannel Shirt doesn't have any of the qualities Julia believes she needs in a man. But when he offers to help her find the perfect date, she reluctantly agrees. And as Julia gets schooled in the fine art of love, she realizes that Kane might be exactly what the doctor ordered…
The Makeover Prescription (Sugar Falls, Idaho #5) Reviews
-
Super sweet, dorky and cute special edition romantic comedy.

Julia graduated high school when she was just fourteen, after college she excelled in medical school. She joined the Navy and became a neurosurgeon at a Navy hospital with the rank of captain. She excels at her job. But there is so much she doesn't know about life.
She bought a beautiful home that needed to be renovated and hired local contractor Kane to do the renovations. Education wise Kane is at a much lower level than Julia. In fact he doesn't have any of the qualities that Julia believes she would like in a man. But he offers to help her find "the perfect" date. I enjoyed this book a lot. -
Cute and fun.

It was a good story and had a lesson to learn.

I really enjoyed this, and would give it a B+, so 4 1/2 stars here. While it took place in a small town, it was nothing like so many of the "small town filled with meddlers" romances I've read before. The heroine, Julia, is a quirky child genius raised by strict parents focused entirely on her success. To break free of the mold after he parents died unexpectedly, Julia -- a neurosurgeon -- signed up for the military and is now a medical doctor. She's moved to a small town to be near her only living relative, Aunt Freckles (I know, stupid name), who would definitely be annoying if she appeared more in the book.
Julia hires a contractor --Kane -- at her aunt's recommendation to fix up the ramshackle home she bought. Turns out Kane is actually a former star pitcher, but Julia has no idea. I like how these two loners come to be friends and eventually lovers. I also appreciate that the big misunderstanding (that we know is going to come all along) plays out very quickly and doesn't cause a big breakup.
About the only thing that kept this from being a DIK for me is I found the heroine's inability to use her smart phone (and pretty much any other technical device) overplayed. That being said, I'm definitely going to look for more of the author's backlist. -

Julia is such an interesting character. I loved her complete inability to deal with electronics when she is such a capable person. It is too cute! Her social awkwardness is heart touching and I think her work associates missed out on getting to know a fun and entertaining person. Kane is perfect for her, especially with his quirks. Mr. Donut was a wonderful addition to their story. Loved it. ~ Kim
