A Brush With Love by Rachel Hauck


Rachel Hauck just released her newest book a Wedding Novella called A Brush With Love.

About the Book 
Ginger Winters is a gifted hairstylist with scars no one can see. The last thing she expects from the New Year is a new chance at love.
Overcoming a childhood tragedy, Ginger emerges from the pain and trauma with a gift for bringing out the beauty in others. From the top big city salons to traveling the world as personal stylist to a country music sensation, success was almost enough to make Ginger forget her she would never be one of the beautiful people.
Almost. Now that she’s back home in Rosebud, Alabama and running her own salon, the truth remains: Ginger is still that girl, forever on the outside looking in. But she needs her confidence this weekend. She’s the acclaimed “beauty-maker” for the Alabama society wedding of the decade.
When high-school crush Tom Wells Jr. also returns to town and shows up at her shop looking for a haircut, Ginger’s thinly veiled insecurities threaten to keep her locked away from love, Despite Tom’s best efforts, Ginger can’t forget how he disappeared on her twelve years ago and broke her heart. Can she ever trust him again?
When Tom challenges her to see her own beauty, Ginger must decide if she will remained chained to the past or move freely into a new, exciting future.

My Review:
 This was my first experience reading one of Rachel Hauck's books, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this short novella.  Usually, I get to the end of a novella and feel like it should of been longer.  But this novella left me feeling fulfilled at the end of the story.  Rachel did a great job bringing the characters to life.  Ginger's feelings were described in a way that made you feel her pain.  Her character was real, and anyone who has struggled not being in the "in crowd" during their elementary or high school years can identify with the struggle she had of feeling like an outsider.  The other main character, Tom Wells Jr., brings a lot of mixed feelings for Ginger.  I liked how Tom challenges Ginger to see her own beauty that comes from inside instead of focusing on the scars left from the fire.  This is a great novella to pick up.  A quick, easy read for a quite, cozy weekend.  I'm looking forward to reading some more of Rachel Hauck's books!
