Matters of the Heart by Mahilia Levey

 Blurb:

Madeline ‘Eden’ Jenning’s life is in upheaval. Growing older is perilous for her career. Aging gracefully does nothing for her if it means losing out on all she’s worked for. Plastic surgery becomes her obsession— finding the fountain of youth, a way to hold onto the persona she’s emulated for three decades. Desperation makes her beg her dearest friend for the best surgeon known in their area. She doesn’t expect him to be someone from her past.

Tanner James Thornton, a well-known plastic surgeon, takes only the worst of all cases, those needing his skilled hands to give them a semblance of normalcy once again. When he promises a friend he’ll assess a new client, immediately he knows being her surgeon won’t work. Not only is he attracted to her, but he remembers who she was before the glam. He has the answers she needs that don’t revolve around Hollywood’s superficial reasons for body augmentation.

This was a great short story filled with lust and love.  I loved the movie star angle to it and the whole body image problem the lead heroine faced.  Laughed out loud when she started naming all the stuff off she didn’t eat and was like wow I wouldn’t be able to survive.  Oh and TJ can we say NUMMY!  I will never look at a desk or plastic surgeon the same way again.

I want a friend like T she seems like a really cool chick.  As always I am pleasantly pleased with this wonderful author and left wanting more.  The whole idea of writing a story off of a tarot card was a great one and hope she continues to write them.
