It does warn it's in instalments, and this one was free. Good thing too, for all it's rated as being an Amazon Hot Top 10 Release, it was just ok, like a teeny tiny slice of vanilla cake that doesn't really make you want to go back for another taste.The writing was good, the tone and antics a little Bridget Jones-esque, but without the charm of a Mr Darcy and with a bit of sex thrown in for some spice (but it wasn't really that spicey).How about Big Girls are Proud? Why are all the heroines in these books insecure. If they're beautiful, they don't really think they are, or if they're curvy they can't believe men would find them attractive... What about a curvy woman with a beautiful face who knows how to dress to show off her best features, and is happy and successful and knows she's a bombshell? Why do curvy women, or women in general, want to read about the insecurities of other women, that are magically repaired when a guy finds them attractive and gives them mind blowing sex? I'm a holder of the XX chromosome with curves, and I am finding it a bit debasing. Please, please, please authors: if you're going to write about the insecurities of women, don't hold a man up as the perfect solution, be a bit more adventurous with your story lines.Am I curious about what happens next? Not really. Would I pay for it? No. Am I going to get the next on my Kindle? Nope. Would I buy from this author? Yes, probably. She was good reading, it was just a weak foundation for a story.
