MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“A Brush With Love” is a prime example of why Rachel Hauck is listed among my favorite authors. Every time I open one of her books, I find a well-written story with real-to-life characters who have the same flaws and pain many of us experience. No model perfect heroes or heroines with perfect lives but men and women in need of God’s love, encouragement, and forgiveness.<\/p>\n

Ginger Winters is the perfect representative for many women who for one reason or another feel less than adequate and hide behind whatever walls they have built to protect themselves from being hurt by others. Like Ginger, most of us fail to look to the Lord for our affirmation but give up when we realize we may not receive it from the people around us.\u00a0 Tom Wells was a wonderful hero who continuously attempted to encourage Ginger as he gently pushed her toward the Lord.<\/p>\n

I thoroughly enjoyed Ginger and Tom’s story. I always appreciate Rachel’s strong message of faith that is included in each book as well as the depth and realism of her characters. Although I acknowledge that “A Brush With Love” was necessarily short due to its format, I would have liked to spend much more time with these characters.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Almost. Now that she\u2019s 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\u2019s the acclaimed \u201cbeauty-maker\u201d for the Alabama society wedding of the decade.<\/p>\n

When high-school crush Tom Wells Jr. also returns to town and shows up at her shop looking for a haircut, Ginger\u2019s thinly veiled insecurities threaten to keep her locked away from love, Despite Tom\u2019s best efforts, Ginger can\u2019t forget how he disappeared on her twelve years ago and broke her heart. Can she ever trust him again?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
