Find this review and more at Lusty Penguin Reviews!Hugh O. Smith's pens a delightful and entertaining character-driven contemporary romance in Green Eyes and Good Hair.Playboy Tony Truman makes a play on Olivia Reynolds because she runs the New York offices of Sato Electronics, and Tony wants to further his career. Olivia isn't Tony's usual type because she is a plus-sized girl with curves in all of the right places. When Tony and Olivia hook up, Olivia plays Tony instead of the other way around. Their sexual chemistry ignites quickly, and their bedroom play is intense and passionate. After that first night of passion, Tony quickly realizes that he feels differently about Olivia than any other girl he has hooked up with. Tony has found his true love. At first I though Tony's character was a bit of a cad about taking out a plus-sized girl, but my opinion of his character changed as he works on having a relationship with Olivia, who really makes him work for it. I adored how Tony and Olivia share stories about their families, which makes these characters even more real. Olivia's character is a breath of fresh air because she is a successful businesswoman and comfortable in her own skin. I enjoyed Olivia's character being plus sized instead of a stick-thin heroine, which makes her quite relatable.With vivid and believable characters and an engrossing love story, Green Eyes and Good Hair is a captivating and sweet romance. My only major complaint is the story just stops like it was cut off. Along with some unanswered plot questions, the reader is left to wonder if Tony and Olivia are really at a happy-for-now place in their relationship. Although I'm look forward to visiting with these characters again, I wish the ending of this romance was a bit more satisfying.I received an eBook copy from the author for the purpose of an honest review.
