THE PERFECT HOMECOMING by Julia London

WARNING! Do not read this book unless you have about five boxes of tissues by your side. Maybe I was hormonal when I was reading this book, or maybe I related to Emma, the main character, and her pain. I don't know, all I know is, I cried, A LOT. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU DO NOT LIKE A GOOD CRY! Emma Tyler is a beautiful woman. With her long blonde hair and delicate features, she has every man in a five mile radius lusting after her. Even though she is beautiful on the outside, on the inside she has a train wreck of a life.  Emma can't seem to control her mouth in any situation.  She always says what she thinks; normally that may be a good thing, but people always seem to take what she says the wrong way. Because of how broken she is, Emma only targets older, fat men who only wants her for her body.  Feeling disgusted with herself after the deed is done, Emma takes something of each of her "conquest", something that the person would not miss that she k...

NEED YOU FOR KEEPS by Marina Adair

This book reminded me of +Rachel Lacey 's  book series Love and Rescue.  I instantly related to the book because of this, but the book is loveable by itself. Shay Michaels would do anything to save the furry residents of St. Helena, Califonia. Being a pet groomer in the town, as well as a pet rescuer, Shay hands her hands full 24'7. Even when she is filled to capacity, if anyone comes to her with an animal in need of a home, Shay can never turn them away. Even though, she gets into a lot of trouble for her selfless deeds. One of the people she has to deal with on almost a daily basis is Deputy Jonah Baudouin.  Shay finds him hot and hard to resist but resist him she must. Shay knows Jonah is not looking for a woman like her, and since he is running for Sherriff, he does not need her running his name in the mud. Jonah knows that he should stay away from Shay, but there is something about her that just draws him to her.  It does not help matters that...

THROWN FOR A CURVE by Sugar Jamison

This book was old school with a modern twist.  Do people still get married because of those reasons? I liked this book, but the girl was a little unfair in the middle of the book. Cherri is a tall, curvaceous amazon but does not wish to be. Having lived her entire life with guys passing her over for the shorter, more glamorous woman. She found it hard to accept herself. Working at Size Me Up, a clothing store that only caters to the plus size woman, Cherri feels as if she can finally fit in.  But being the youngest out of all her friends, the downside is that they treat her like a baby. Having student loans to pay back, a sick, elderly grandmother and a dog that just does not know his place. Cherri barely knows what to do with herself.  Can she turn her life around and finally be able to think about only herself. Before she can find out, a lot of events happened at once and it all started with Colin. Colin cannot believe that at his age, he is lusting a...

DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD by Sugar Jamison

I read the last book in the series and that was just a taste to the awesomeness that is Sugar Jamison.  Being a plus size woman myself, her books call to me and how can I resist them. Ellis Garrett is taking one big giant step that anyone can make.  She is dumping her asshole of a boyfriend, quitting her job ( which is a very hard thing to do in today's economy ) to open her own Plus-Size clothing store and started her own blog. That's a lot to do in a few days, but that is what Ellis decided to do and that is what she did.  Opening Size Me Up was a dream of hers that she made a reality.  A place where big people, such as myself, can walk in and feel normal and not as a whale in a china shop. Things were going slowly but surely, slower than she likes, but Ellis is determined to make her business a success. The joy on her customers face is payment enough, despite what her mother and stupid ex-boyfriend say. When her sister's ex-boyfriend comes to town, lo...

THE DEVIL TAKES A BRIDE by Julia London

This is my first book by Ms +Julia London , and even though I have the poster of her first book in this series on my wall, I have never read it, (yet) .  I am very interested in knowing the rest of the Cabot Sisters. Grace Cabot is desperate.  Her step-father, the main support for her and her sisters have died and her step-brother is about to be married. That should be a good thing, but the woman he is about to marry, dislikes them and would put them out in the cold if she could.  The only way to get stability for her sisters and herself is to marry. This in itself is a problem seeing as her mother is quite mad, and if word gets out of this, then no one would have any of them. No one wants to add the threat madness in their family. Desperation is what had Grace plotting to trap a man into marriage before the truth of her mother came out.  She had the place and the time, she even found her victim. Instead of the fun loving Viscount she expected,...
