Big Girls Do It #1
Big Girls Do It Better
Gorgeous, rock-star guys like Chase Delany don't go for girls like me. They go for supermodels and actresses, skinny-girls who never eat and spend all day working out. I'm not that girl. So when he locked his fiery brown eyes on me for the first time, I couldn't quite believe it was really happening to me.
It was the second night I spent with him that I'll never forget.

This is ridiculous. I thought it was going to be a tale about a man who looks past a woman's outsides and into her head and her personality, but instead it busted out every stereotype about fat chicks known to man - including the one that all "bigger framed" women have become so simply because they eat like pigs.
The number of times this woman references "I was hungry", "I needed a snack" and "I never met a cupcake I didn't want to get to know better" is just plain stupid.
In the end, it ended up reading like a "despite the fact she was a fat ass, he wanted to screw her" instead of "the fact that she wasn't a size 0 wasn't an issue that ever entered his head".
I also smelled more than a hint of the author as being so desperately uncomfortable with herself that she had to write a book in which she pictures herself as the main character and the hero is pouring compliments and platitudes over the heroine to make herself feel better. I may be wrong, but it felt like the book was written to soothe past wounds from real life.
I am disappoint. I'm so glad this book was free on Amazon, because else I would have demanded my money back.

Not bad, a hot little number with some sexy, spicy, big girl lovin'! I understood how Anna, a beautiful plump girl, could doubt that someone as delicious as Chase, would find her appealing. Not that she should, because she rocked her body! I just wish she questioned herself a little less when it came to Chase. Not only was he attracted to Anna, he layed some hot lovin' on her womanly curves!! WOW!! He had a true appreciation for all she had to offer. It was short and not without flaws, but I actually found myself invested in the characters and look forward to seeing how their story plays out. It had the dreaded "to be continued" with a bit of a cliffhanger, which made me cringe, but I'm in it to the end.
The boxed set of the first 4 books is $3.99 on Amazon-with extended sex scenes!! Boy did I miss out. Oh well, the sale ends today-11/23/12

What if gorgeous man like this.....
With abs like this !!!
Said....
"You're perfect the way you are. You're a work of art."
To woman size 18, like this....
And not just attract to her but crazily in LOVE with her....
And said....
"You're perfect the way you are. I made love to you as you are."
And convince her that....
"Not every guy in the world likes women to be stick figures. Not every guy in the world want his woman to be all skin and bones. I happen to like your softness and curves, just like I like your attitude, and your style. I like the way you for me."
And when this "chubby sexy lady" keep asking in disbelief....
"What are you doing?"
Then this sexy - gods like rocker - answered without hesitation but full of adoration....
"Worshipping a goddess."
And....
"I made love to you....I made love to a goddess."
I only can say.....
Damn !!!
I wish I was Anna Devine and meet a man like Chase Delany in real life !!!
This 1st book succeed grab my all attention !!
Its fun and hot... *grinning*
Heading to book 2 !!!!

Certainly the worst written of the erotic novellas or shorts I've tried. So poorly written I can't actually tell what's happening. There is a difference between brevity and poor technique. Pity, because a mouthy plus size gal was just what I was after.
I'm quite competent enough to know that 'playing' and 'twisting between my fingers' in this context mean the same thing. You don't need to tell me what's happening twice.
What kind if a crazy creepy person actually opens a door, and when they do, they decide to open the passenger side door? Whatever happened to knocking on the driver's window?
My head actually hurts trying to figure this out. So he opened the passenger side door, somehow managed to kiss her while he's still outside of the car like he's Stretch Armstrong, and he's at risk of getting run over because he never got in the car. So now I'm imagining huge noodly arms reaching over the passenger seat.
HOW CAN YOU EVEN SEE THAT? HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND HE'S TURNING AWAY.
This is the point where I gave up. I don't have time to wrestle prose into making sense, even if it is a 10K word free short story.
I played with my hair, twisting a lock of my bottle-blonde hair between my fingers.

I turned to check for a car before I started to pull out, but jammed the brakes when the passenger-side door opened.

No sé muy bien qué decir de este libro. Es cortito, me ha gustado que la protagonista esté rellenita pero no me he creído la historia y lo de no usar condón con una pareja esporádica me ha parecido de traca. Eso no es fomentar el sexo seguro, señora Wilder.

Anna Devine is a beautiful, plus-sized woman, who works as a DJ and singer, and thinks that she is very well aware of her qualities. She has lots of experiences with men, most of it bad. She reads people well, and always knows what to expect from others. Until she meets Chase.
Chase Delany is a gorgeous, sexy rock star with a perfect body and style. So perfect that Anna evidently thinks she has no chance with a guy like him, and he is surely looking for his female version of perfection. But Chase surprises her.
The first novella of the Big Girls Do It series is about Anna and Chase’s first earth-shattering night together, and the morning after that, when Chase claims he just got an opportunity not to be missed, which Anna thinks to be a kiss-off, so she tells him it was only a one-night stand. It seems Chase wants more than that, but is he honest?
The story is steamy, delicious, and emotional. Chase is a dream guy, and Anna is very likeable with her outer confidence and inner insecurities. It is a good start for the series.

"I didn't want you to go without getting your phone number." His bassline voice washed over me as his massive presence filled the passenger seat.
Holy shit! What do I do? If I give him my number I'm easy. If I don't I may never see Mr. Sexypants again.

Touching him was like eating a chip; I couldn't stop after just one.

Big girls do it better is very short story of a plus size female DJ who ends up with a hot guy named chase who is a singer for a band.
Through out the book (which only took me an hour to read and hate) I found my self rolling my eyes in disgust. People have harped on at me about this book, how nice it is for a plus size woman to get the hot guy. I have to say I found it shallow and very childish. if a man wants you and near enough falls in love with you JUST because of your size sweetie he doesn't love you he just loves the weight your carrying. Whether you are a size 0 or a size 18 if he wants you because of you pant size he is one shallow idiot and you more so for wanting to be with a man who wants you just for your appearances. low self confidence shouldn't make people lower their expectation of others, Fair enough if he had been attracted to her and wanted to get to know her better before the sex I would have given this book chance.
I've read some really decent and sexy as hell books that have had curvy girls as lead characters but this one was not one of them a truly poor quality novel.

This book to me was amazing.From start to finish. I loved how brazen Anna was, especially when she wanted something. Yes she was self deprecating and self conscience but she still got hers. As a fellow big girl I give her My props!! I cant wait to follow the rest, including Rock Stars Do It ...I was dumb founded by Chases intensity when he'd hear Anna put herself down. It was cute but a bit much...I instantly thought, possible psycho, girl get it In and take off. Lol, so The ending was unexpected but left me giggling. This series is refreshing. :-)

I got this free book from Amazon. And I'm not actually planning to read it yet. But since I woke up so early this morning, I said, why not read it since it is just a short story. And I'm glad I did. For such a short novella, this book was actually good.
Anna Devine, a curvy woman with lack of self-confidence and self worth until she meet Chase Delaney, a tall, dark, and super HOT, GORGEOUS rock star. And so sexy, wearing leather pants. Mr. sexy pants. :) I hope he doesn't turn into a jerk and hurt her in the next books in the series.
I imagined Chase looking like that. Hot. Sexy. Gorgeous.
And one more thing, this book contains hot and steamy sex scenes! Haha! Really. But I loved how sweet Chase was to Anna. Trying to get Anna to see how beautiful, smart, and sexy a woman she really is. But she's still having a hard time accepting the fact that a hot guy like Chase really wants her.
I totally understand Anna's internal battle regarding her appearances and the way guys see her. The truth is, we fat girls are a little delicate.
But Chase was damn! So freaking sweet! Makes me want to bring him home.
"You're perfect the way you are. I made love to you as you are."
And it was unfortunate when Chase reluctantly left to pursue his singing career in NY. But not without asking Anna...
To come with him...
This first book got my attention. I'm definitely gonna be following Anna's journey of self-discovery and finding her happiness.

This was so far fetched I couldn't finish reading. What she does to him while on break in the bar is ridiculous. Who does that? Then she goes to his house when she doesn't even know his last name? And then talks about love after one week! Ridiculous!!! I was disappointed. I really wanted this to be good. :-(

Free Kindle book, I get what I paid for, but ugh. I was hoping this would be a "I'm big, and I'm sexy, so what of it" book. Nope. The main conflict of the story was the narrator constantly apologizing to the guy for being big. Yeah. That's sexy.

Big Girls Do It Better by Jasinda Wilder.
I found this series by accident today and thought I'd check it out sounded like it could be a fun read. I am so glad I found Jasinda authors page, I have added all her book to my to be read list.
Jasinca Wilder's writing is very good, Big Girls Do It Better was easy to read, flowed well and is a great short story. We meet Anna who in her eyes sees herself as a big girl and has some self esteem issues. When Chase see's her he is attracted to Anna immediately. Funny thing is Anna assumes he just wants a one night stand, like the others have always wanted from her (the big girl).
Chase see's more then Anna's size. I won't say anymore but if you want a quick fun read this is one for you.

For such a short novella, this book packed quite an emotional punch. It is so refreshing to read an erotic story that features a heroine who is not a stick figure, and a hero who adores her just as she is. This story actually made me a little teary eyed, with how sweet Chase was in trying to get Anna to see just how beautiful she really is.
This is the first 'episode' in a series, and I for one can not wait for the next installment!

Goodreads Description:
Gorgeous, rock-star guys like Chase Delany don't go for girls like me. They go for supermodels and actresses, skinny-girls who never eat and spend all day working out. I'm not that girl. So when he locked his fiery brown eyes on me for the first time, I couldn't quite believe it was really happening to me.
It was the second night I spent with him that I'll never forget.
My Take:
This first installment was a cute/hot little ditty. Seriously. I enjoyed it.
Anna is a bigger girl and doesn't really think she's that sexy. She doesn't have the best confidence and it makes her think she's not worthy of a hot guy to love her.
But one night after her DJ'ing job, she goes to her usual restaurant for a night cap and sees an unbelievably hot man looking at her. Of course she doesn't think he's actually interested in her. But oh how he is...
After this one night meeting and a swift kiss, Anna and Chase have an amazing one night of hot steamy sex. Then Chase gets a record deal and has to leave.
I thought this was a cute beginning for this series. It was a short quick read but still steamy.

Why!! Why!! Whyyyy!!
Oh God! I can totally relate with Anna! How can someone as big as her have someone pursuing her, for a girl like her that was confusing and if I were her I would totally doubt his intentions too! Like someone as hot as Chase! Oh i definitely envy you Anna Devine! I want a Chase Delaney of my own! This is going to be real good! Love it!

This was a short, cute, sexy read. Being a "big" girl myself, I really enjoyed reading about a woman who wasn't the "ideal" or a size 2. I like Anna and her men, and I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of this series!

I didn't thought that this book were so funny, hot and awesome. I totally recommend it. BIG GIRLS ROCK!

First read by this author. First book in a series of ten.
Ok points I made whilst reading this book.... yes I made notes! Based on my gut reaction to whatever was going on with the book. I'm a 'big girl' and I'm possibly too jaded by the reality of society and the world to be reviewing and reading this series, but I liked the concept so thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt.
Anna Says she has embraced her size - yet critisizes her self throughout her whole internal dialogue. Yes each person does have negative thoughts but was a bit much.
Chase Knew what he wanted but she ( Anna ) was going to give it to him anyway... along lines ?? WHAT THE FUCK? ( I'm talking about the 'her 10 minute break' scene. Ummm no nah no way honey!
Guys like chase and girls like me - repetitive repetitive relative
I'm going to read on because I've got books 1 -4 in a freebie collection. Middle of the road judgement so far.

This Short Novella/Book was really Good!
It's about Anna who is a big girl and she meets Chase the hottie rockstar who rocks her world(pun intended lol)
Anna has always had everyone telling her that she is fat and ugly and even though she has grown to be comfortable in her body she can't help but still believe what everyone said about her.
Chase doesn't see her as Fat. He thinks she is Beautiful just the way she is! He wants more than anything to prove it to her!!
She has to take a chance on him and hope he won't let her fall.
This was really good and I will decently read book 2!! Especially with that cliffhanger at the end!

This was a nice combination of two aspects I like in a story...a full figured heroine and musicians/rock stars.
I'm sorry that the book was so short because I really liked Chase, and I would have liked to spend more time with him.
This was a fun, short read and I'll definitely read the next two books in the series.

Just a quick story about an insecure BBW who has mind-blowing sex with a hottie. Not at all what I expect from J. Wilder.

Really, really awful.
I only picked this short novella because it fulfilled one of the categories of this year’s reading challenge ( Popsugar Reading Challenge 2023 #10. A romance with a fat lead), and because it had already been in my kindle for years, from when it had been free on BookBub at one time.
It tries too hard to sell itself as a body positive story (a cute guy falls in love -and lust- with a woman size 18 -eye roll- oh, dear! how could such a rare thing be true?), but is nothing but, actually the opposite with all the inane inner monologue of the protagonist comparing herself to an elephant (!).
All in all, a huge waste of my time which has actually put me in a bad mood. There were typos and grammatical errors everywhere, it was full of cringing dialogue, and inner monologue, and I regretted the mere fact that this drivel was in my kindle, although it was from a time that I was in the habit of downloading quite a lot of free books, which I don’t do anymore, having learnt in so many years of kindle ownership that my reading time is more valuable than the price of a book.
Blissfully, it was about 70 pages or I would have died of excess anger-related cortisol secretion.

WARNING! This review if for book #1-#5.5 in the series
Anna DJs and sings at local bars with her friend Jeff, she loves her job and although her family are dysfunctional she has some great close friends, but she is also plus sized with serious body image issues. So when gorgeous budding rock star Chase starts pursuing her she doesn't know what to think, guys like him don't go for girls like her right? But as Chase shows her how beautiful she is, she also starts to notice her best friend Jeff, she can't imagine a life without him in it. Chase and Jeff are both such different men, but who is she meant to have forever with?
This review is a little bit of a cheat as it is for the books 1 - 5.5 in the Big Girls do it series (series order at the bottom of the review). Each book is a small installment in Anna's journey to find her happily ever after, a very HOT journey as she decides between two delicious but completely opposite men.
I read the first book in the series just because I loved the title and the cover, but I found once I started reading it, I just kept going to the next book and the next to see what would happen then BAM before I knew it, I had gone through all of them! And, although the sex in these books was hot and had me drooling over Jeff and Chase, I found I carried on reading as I needed to know which man she would pick, and I liked that Wilder kept you guessing; at the beginning of this series it wasn't that obvious who she would pick.
I really enjoyed this series, it was quick but really sexy and sometimes sweet read and I will definitely be looking for more Jasinda Wilder books in the future.
The reading order for this series is:
Book 1: Big Girls Do It Better
Book 2: Big Girls Do It Wetter
Book 3: Big Girls Do It Wilder
Book 4: Big Girls Do It On Top
Book 5: Big Girls Do It Married
Book 5.5: Big Girls Do It On Christmas
Anna DJs and sings at local bars with her friend Jeff, she loves her job and although her family are dysfunctional she has some great close friends, but she is also plus sized with serious body image issues. So when gorgeous budding rock star Chase starts pursuing her she doesn't know what to think, guys like him don't go for girls like her right? But as Chase shows her how beautiful she is, she also starts to notice her best friend Jeff, she can't imagine a life without him in it. Chase and Jeff are both such different men, but who is she meant to have forever with?
This review is a little bit of a cheat as it is for the books 1 - 5.5 in the Big Girls do it series (series order at the bottom of the review). Each book is a small installment in Anna's journey to find her happily ever after, a very HOT journey as she decides between two delicious but completely opposite men.
I read the first book in the series just because I loved the title and the cover, but I found once I started reading it, I just kept going to the next book and the next to see what would happen then BAM before I knew it, I had gone through all of them! And, although the sex in these books was hot and had me drooling over Jeff and Chase, I found I carried on reading as I needed to know which man she would pick, and I liked that Wilder kept you guessing; at the beginning of this series it wasn't that obvious who she would pick.
I really enjoyed this series, it was quick but really sexy and sometimes sweet read and I will definitely be looking for more Jasinda Wilder books in the future.
The reading order for this series is:
Book 1: Big Girls Do It Better
Book 2: Big Girls Do It Wetter
Book 3: Big Girls Do It Wilder
Book 4: Big Girls Do It On Top
Book 5: Big Girls Do It Married
Book 5.5: Big Girls Do It On Christmas

Oh my! Nobody does erotic romance quite like Jasinda Wilder! This series is the perfect blend of eroticism and romance. It maintains the story line through out the whole series and flows perfectly. I read books 1-4 in one sitting b/c I was absolutely hooked! And with a man like Chase thrown into the mix how could you not be?! All in all, awesome way to kick off the series!

Short little erotica novella
First time reading author
Writing was ok
Ends in a cliffhanger
With the title, I was expecting the heroine to be confident in her big size. She was not. She had very low self esteem. Even when the hero kept pursuing her, she figured he just wanted to get laid.
This was free on Amazon. Not sure I liked it enough to buy the next book.

I am not a believer of love-at-first-sight. Thus 3/5. Um...kissing the first time they met? Singing some songs together led to oral? Some more songs later led to his place? Though the story line kind of creeped me out, it was a hot one.

I decided to reread the Big Girls Do It series. Forgot how short the first book is but I am still loving it. On to the next...

Was gifted this series years ago but for whatever reason never got around to it. On a whim I clicked it open and fell quickly into the story.
I both (somewhat) related to AND itched to slap some sense into Anna, a flawed heroine for sure, even if (IMO) mostly in her own mind.
Chase was genuine, sexy and oh so filthy...in the best possible ways.
Saucy, spicy, steamy and short - but more than enough both have me removing onto the next book.

Loved it!
An amazing read from beginning to end. Kept me reading it until I finished it. Big girls need love too.
