Size Matters

De: Alison Bliss

The rules of (fake) engagement . . .

Leah Martin has spent her life trying to avoid temptation. But she's sick of low-fat snacks, counting calories, and her hyper-critical mom. Fortunately, her popular new bakery keeps her good and distracted. But there aren't enough eclairs in the world to distract Leah from the hotness that is Sam Cooper - or the fact that he just told her mother that they're engaged . . . which is a big, fat lie.

Sam sometime speaks before he thinks. So what started out as defending Leah's date-ability to her judgmental mother soon turned into having a fiancee! Now the plan is to keep up the fake engagement, stay "just friends," and make Leah's family loathe him enough to just call the whole thing off. But Sam has an insatiable sweet tooth, not only for Leah's decadent desserts but her decadent curves. Her full lips. Her bright green eyes. Yep, things aren't going quite according to plan. Now Sam has to convince Leah that he's for real . . . before their little lie turns into one big, sweet disaster.

3 Size Matters Stars

Warning swearing/cleaned up for Audible a head:

First I am a CURVY girl so I thought yes a book I can relate too.

UMM NOO not at all. Leah is so up in her own dang head she doesn't see herself. She makes jokes about her size, ok now that I understand I do that too, because as a curvy girl it’s expected.
But let’s be real here, she wouldn't have such problem if it wasn't for her F # - k UP SELF-RIGHTOUS mother.

WHO lets there WIFE, the MOTHER of your children talk to them like that?
AND JUST SITS BACK AND DOES NOTHING!!!!!!!
Thank Goodness for Sam, because he is the only one with a freaking brain in his head and stood up to the SHREWED COW!

Sam saved this book for me, not because he was this outstanding guy but because he got Leah to think of herself better.
It wasn't his magic c0 ck or his wit. It was not letting others bully her. I think that above all else is what Leah needed to stand up to her dang mother.

H311 she should have screamed at her father too for ALLOWING that to go on in his house, IN FRONT OF HIM!

Yes I am a little hot under the collar about this one because come on. This author has a wonderful opportunity to bring curvy girls in to romance, but no she went with the generic self-loathing, bullying sh1 t.

WHY can’t we have a curvy girl who owns her sh1 t and finds a man who loves her for HER. Ok Sam did like her how she was I will give you that. But all the self-doubt and put downs. I could have done without all that.

Great narration by the way, very much enjoyed that.

Not a terrible book I enjoyed big chucks of it but hated others as you can see.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

I liked it, but I didn't love it.

I liked the storyline. However I think I may have liked this better if I would have read this book instead of the listening to it. The narrator did an awesome job, and there were times where I was chuckling in my car in some moments, but there were some parts that were lack luster or sounded blah to me. I will read the authors next installment in the series. I'm curious on what this author has to offer with her storyline.

I adored this book.

The story was amazing. I struggled with the reader at first. By chapter 3 I was hooked. She really brought the characters to life. Alison Bliss is my new favorite author.

Super cute!

This is a super cute story about a curvaceous lady who is placed in a fake-fiancé situation by a hunky guy. The story was detailed and I got a good sense of what he characters were thinking and feeling. There was a lot of miscommunication it misunderstanding between the two main characters which felt a little drawn out but made for lots of *feels.* I did hope for an epilogue to see into the future a bit but hope to see these characters in a backstory of the next book in the series.

Great narration, however, the characters did seem to go from less country twang to more twang in the middle of the story to less towards the end. Other than that it was good.

too sexually explicit and too many f-bombs

I started off listening to this author in out of the blue. I thought the book was hilarious and so realistic I really love the story. because that was book five of this series I thought okay I'll try book one and the story seemed interesting but as it continued on and on it was too sexually explicit for me, and all the cursing in it just kind of turned me off. I'll be returning the book not happy
