Review: Far-fetched at times but Super Entertaining

Big Girls Don't Cry had just about everything: mystery, adventure, action, and romance. There was not one character that I did not enjoy and I thought that the writing was engaging and fast paced and the plot well executed.  Some dinged the book for a couple of errors and for the strong language, but for me there was nothing egregious that took away from enjoying the ride and the language seemed appropriate.I liked that while Alexis, a victim of abuse (you catch onto that early...no spoilers... but subtle nothing graphic), was tough she was not hardened- she could kick butt but also be willing to put her heart on the line and overcome insecurities and vulnerabilities. She had a nice duality about her. I liked our alpha male Jake- he was macho and cocky yet respected Alexis and her past.  Great characters.  Supporting characters were awesome too.Every once in a while the story would be cheesy over-the-top and far-fetched but for me that just added to the appeal.  Sometimes you watch an action movie and your saying in your head "Really, someone would/could do that?" ...there might be a moment or too in this book. Thats okay- I  am reading fiction for a reason and somehow it really worked for this author. Overall, I thought it rocked and would enjoy a follow up book.
