I really wanted to like Anna, Chase, and their antics, but I'm tired of stories like this.  She's fat.  I get it.  She has issues with thinking that men ("hot" men) could be attracted to her.  I get it.  Stop beating us over our heads with it.  To me, there seemed to be contradictory behavior from the heroine.  If she felt so poorly about her appearance, why would she wear a tight sparkly leopard print dress or a mini skirt with fishnets?  Those are things a person with confidence would wear.  When Chase (a perfect-looking man) shows interest, she can't possibly believe that his attention is genuine or good.  Ugh.I had hoped that this story would show a bigger woman with confidence who is not afraid to attract men.  I had also hoped that the relationship between the main characters would be based on more than looks.***A short side note:  This story contained a little bondage, which I found surprising, given that the characters did not know each other well at all.  Anna can't trust that Chase is attracted to her, but she can trust him to tie her to the headboard?  Very interesting...
