4 starsThis was a very good story. I liked Trip and Karen and their story was short but well written and it worked considering the length of the story.Karen is a BBW that (after some dieting and struggles) accepts her body as is. Unfortunately, she doesn't have much luck in finding guys that appreciate her curves. Karen works with her BFF, Syn, who is getting married and Karen is one of her bridesmaids. Karen promised to look after the groom's only single friend and fellow SEAL, Trip, while he's in town.Trip is a Navy SEAL and loves his job. He is on a SEAL team with some buddies, one of which is getting married, Sam aka Ice. Trip is the only single member of the team and he's not looking to get tied down. Trip agreed to help Ice out and by hang with the only single bridesmaid while he's in town for the wedding but expects it to be a onerous task since he was told she has "a great personality".Karen is waiting for Trip to arrive and setting up the photography studio she and Syn work in for a shoot that's going to take place in a few days. Karen and Syn have apartments upstairs from the studio and Trip is supposed to be showing up to stay at Syn's place since she wont be there. Karen is setting up the studio for a bedroom scene and with the bed and all she starts fantasizing and gets a little self absorbed with self pleasuring. So self absorbed that she doesn't realize that Trip had arrived until he offers her a hand. LMAO! Well that brought Karen to Earth very quickly and doesn't start them off on the best of terms. Trip goes up to Syn's apartment to get some rest but before he leaves he makes Karen a sexual proposition she wants to take but wonders if he's serious (because she thinks he's way to hot to seriously want her). Karen gathers up her courage and decides to see if Trip was serious and finds out very quickly that he was. They indulge in some hot and dirty sex and they both quickly realize that what's between them is more than just lust. Trip (surprisingly) decides to pull the girl card and "talk about their feelings". Karen doesn't trust that Trip is serious but he's very insistent that he'd like for them to date exclusively and see where things go. Karen has some trouble believing that Trip wont suddenly change his mind about her but Trip realizes that what he's found with Karen is something precious and rare and he's not about to let it slip away without a fight. Trip convinces Karen and by the end of the story they're both committed to staying together and trying to make things work between them, long term. They don't drop the L-bomb but are together...I'd say the ending is more of a HFN heading in to a HEA. :DThis was a very enjoyable story. Trip and Karen were both likable characters and I couldn't help rooting for them from the beginning. I'm curious enough that I'll probably read more of the series down the road. I'd recommend this story. :D
