Two men in love with you is messy, period. Flattering, yes. But it's complicated and difficult, and I don't recommend it.
After the shock of being proposed to by two men in 24 hours, Anna tries to clear up her feelings, which are a total mess again. It is baffling, actually: she was so sure about Jeff, okay, not 100 percent sure, but 99%, but now it doesn't seem to be enough because suddenly she is uncertain again. Not nice, I’m telling you... She acts like she belongs to Jeff, but her thoughts are still not that steady.
Anna talks to Jamie, to Jeff, to Chase, and lots of things are said aloud finally. Anna tries to identify what Jeff and Chase mean to her, and imagines her life with Chase, and without Jeff, and vice versa.
Jeff is amazing as always and he can prove with one single sentence that his love for Anna is limitless.
But Chase still can’t get close to me. He is self-centered, stubborn, pushy, and obtrusive. He doesn’t take into consideration Anna’s feelings, just proclaims that he loves her and wants her back. It is really hard for him to listen to Anna.
This stressful, troublesome first half of the book is closed with the decision of Anna, and the second half is about planning the wedding, revealing some hurtful past stories on both sides, the wedding itself, and their honeymoon. Overall it is sweet and romantic.
The story of Chase and Jamie is well-prepared, at least as for Jamie’s character, and I really hope I will feel some sympathy for Chase finally reading the Rock Stars Do It series.

Where do I begin....I had high hopes with the first book and was sucked in immediately even though I thought the sex between the two characters was a little fast. As I went through the series, it fell just FLAT for me. I was disappointed in her choice of male in the long run. All in all...the books themselves should had been one big book instead of the short novellas the series ended up being. Maybe if it had been a full fledge novel, the author could have developed these characters a little bit more. Anna, the heroine, comes off whiny and it just made me want to smack her for some of the decisions she made. Jeff, the best friend, just doesn't seem believable to me. What man is going to stand by and let the love of his life for 6 years run off to New York with just a "you do what you have to do Anna?" Come ON! Chase, the rock god, was very undeveloped. Their whole time together seemed to consist of nothing but sex. No substance. The author I don't think gave Chase a fair chance or their budding story a chance in my opinion. This is the first series I've read where I was upset at the choice of male in the end. Will I read the spin off series? Probably not. Why would I read series about Chase moving on with Anna's best friend???????? No. Not happening.

March 4, 2013I've LOVED this series. As a curvy woman myself, I've struggled with the same body and confidence issues as Anna. I adore her character! She's intelligent, funny and sexy. Watching her accept herself and embrace her sexuality in a way helped me to do the same. I really enjoyed that aspect of the books and thank Jasinda for writing them.
Let's not forget the incredibly sexy men in these books either! Jeff and Chase were HOT and sweet, as well as I instrumental to Anna becoming the woman she does in the end. And the sex was HOT and very sexy in all this series. Wow!
The wedding scene in this book brought tears to my eyes. I definitely think she picked the right guy. I highly recommend this series for someone who enjoys funny and very sexy stories. I can't wait for the rest of this series to continue!

Seperti judulnya Big Girl Do It Married,maka sudah bisa di tebak, bakal ada dentang lonceng pernikahan di buku ke 5 ini.
Tapi.....pertanyaanya adalah....
"Dengan siapakah Anna akan menikah ?"
Well,nampaknya smua udh bs nebak siapa pilihan Anna pd akhirnya....
Nyaris terjadi "pertarungan memperebutkan si chubby" di club,tp gagal....
Anna pun kembali menggalau....
Dengan dua cincin lamaran yg ada di hadapannya,siapakah yg akhirnya akan ia pilih ??
Dan setelah menimbang2 slama 2 x 24 jam,akhirnya......
Keputusan bulat di ambil.....
Keputusan terberat dlm hdp Anna......
Meski kl gw jd Anna,gw jelas2 tahu pasti siapa yg gw pilih di antara Jeff n Chase *smirk*
Dan,pemirsa.....
The winner is.....
Drum sound pleaseeee.....
Jeff Cartwright !!!
Yeaaah !!! *tebar convety*
Meski rada nympho,tp gw akuin si Anna ini pinter milih suami loh.....
Chase mungkin boleh jd so damn HOT dg tampilan fisik yg "beautiful lean muscle body with eight pack" !
Tapi Jeff ??
Dia punya segala yg di dambakan setiap wanita !
"Full adoration for the woman he loved and faithful heart" !
Gw asli melting abis ama kelakuan si Jeff ini.....
Sabarnya edaaaan !!
6 tahun dia memendam rasa terhadap Anna, dua kali Anna "menghianatinya" dg pacar pertamanya yg brengsek dan kemudian Chase.....
Ketika Anna galau menentukan pilihan, Jeff ga maksa Anna buat milih dia,tp tetep keep pushing Anna to choose what makes her happy over everything - meski dlm hati Jeff khawatir jg akan kehilangan Anna utk selamanya.
Bahkan sampai detik2 terakhir sebelum pernikahan,Jeff masih "berbaik hati" "mempertemukan" Anna dg Chase utk "memberikan kesempatan terakhir" bagi Anna utk mantap menentukan pilihan.
Kalau - sekali lagi KALAU - saat itu Anna ingin membatalkan pernikahan stlh pertemuannya dg Chase di Vegas, Jeff tetap akan melepaskan Anna-nya, asal Anna bahagia bersama pria pilihannya !!!
Jujur,benernya gw rada keki jg ama tindakan ekstrim si Jeff ini,tp gw paham juga - sama kek Anna juga paham - kalo Anna emang "layak" mendapat "keragu-raguan" Jeff di saat2 terakhir,cz bgmn pun juga, Anna pernah meninggalkan Jeff demi Chase - tp toh Jeff juga layak mendapatkan "kepastian" dari Anna ttg pilihan hatinya.
Jeff hy ingin hati Anna utuh - bulat - hy utk di isi oleh cintanya till death do us part !
Asli, wedding nya romantis abisss !!
Si Jeff ini emang bener2 pria sempruLna deh !
"God, I love you," I whispered in the silence between our breath.
"You're my eternity, Anna."
"I love who you are, and I love every single thing about you, good or bad"
"The time I've spent with you is better than anything I've ever known."
Duh mas Jeff, kata2 lo bikin gw meleleh....
Dan pas Jeff b lg, "I'll take care of you...."
Dalem ati aku jwb,"what else more worty than being loved by a man who adore you with all his existence ?"
That's why I'm in love with Jeff....
Chase hanya cocok buat "having fun",tp Jeff ??
Dia layak di katakan sebagai, "HOME".....
Oya,ada adegan yg nurut gw cukup "menyedihkan" bagi gw,yaitu pas Jeff ksh backstage pass konser Chase ke Anna sehari sblm pernikahan mrk.
Pas Chase akhirnya sadar akan keberadaan Anna di dpn stage,gw bs ngebayangin gimana perasaan Chase saat itu.
Bertemu lg dg wanita yg telah menghancurkan seluruh hatinya bbrp bulan yg lalu, rasa marah - rindu - cinta - luka - sedih dan bahagia - terbayang di wajahnya ketika membawakan lagu patah hati yg dia tulis krn Anna....
Bahkan sempat2nya berhenti sejenak di tengah2 lagu sambel menatap Anna dg tatapan penuh harap.....
Dan pas dia blg...
"Are you happy?"
Dan di jwb Anna dg, "Yes !"
"Then that's all that matters,"
Chase said. His gaze flicked up to Jeff, and his next words were for him. "Take care of her."
Lalu si Jeff nod. Dan Chase balik ke tengah panggung dan ngelanjutin nyanyi dg emosi penuh kesedihan,sakit,hati dan amarah....
" How can I escape your eyes? I can't, I can't...How can I escape your lies? I can't, I can't—"
Aaarrrgh....
Asli,sedih banget ngebayanginnya !!
Oh,and for Jasinda Wilder.....
I'm sorry I wrote my review in my language,cz my lack of English....
But I want you to know that I LOVE this series so MUCH !
Its funny, entertaining,and so damn HOT !
Like it the way you wrote the story....
You succeed made me into this Anna character cz I hv "voluptuous" figure like her too.....
And I put myself as Anna while reading your book....
Picturing her dilemma between sweet-bulky-lovely-guy-Jeff and oh-so-damn-gorgeous-Chase, feels her passion between the two of them....get arouse and ended with "burning" sensation each time they made love ! Lol....
Well, nice story indeed.....
Heading to Chase Delany story now.....
And be prepare for another "soaked panties" moment then.....

2.5 to 3 stars
I've really enjoyed this series and was excited to start the final book to see how it would all end. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Once Anna made her choice ( which was much earlier than I anticipated) the book fell flat, lacking the emotional punch of the rest of the series. From that point Anna seemed to turn into an enlightened, sappy self help advice columnist. There was A LOT of talking about feelings and relationships that was nothing more than filler. It was as if this final book was supposed to be a short story and at the very last minute someone decided to make it longer. Big mistake. At times it felt rushed and several minor inconsistencies eluded to that fact.
Regardless of my feelings for this story, I still enjoyed the series as a whole. Although I felt like the author should have fleshed out her characters more, I could still appreciate Anna's journey of self discovery. As for the series that Ms. Wilder has in the works for the guy that Anna rejected - love the guy but not thrilled with who he's paired with. However, there's enough residual interest in the characters to get me through at least the first book.

THIS IS ANOTHER "JEFF" IN MY IMAGINATION
GOD!!! CAN'T WE NOT LOVING JEFF???
and compare to this kind of Chase???
Anna is one lucky bitch ! *wishing to be Anna* ....SIGH
Well, like I wish before...she made a RIGHT choice....JEFF...yeaaaaaa........
Could she be more happier than this if she married Chase? I don't think so :)
Chase gak pernah putus asa mengejar Anna , ngelamar Anna...bahkan rela ninggalin karir nya sebagai rock star demi bisa menikah dengan Anna.....
Any girl, maybe will take the opportunity
But Anna was not ANY GIRL
Dia banyak banget mikir, mempertimbangkan segalanya...dengan jeff dia feels like home, dengan Chase...well okay, the passion, the sex, so firey...
Tapi Anna gak mau memiliki pernikahan seperti orang tuanya yang hanya hangat di ranjang dan gak cocok dalam segala hal, selalu bertengkar, ribut melulu...hmmm...dengan Jeff.... Jeff is comfort, peace, love, understanding, a place to find shelter
Patah hati nya Chase berasa banget pas di konser, sehari sebelum pernikahan mereka di Vegas, dengan baik hati, Jeff ngajak anna ke konser Chase...I think, it was more like farrewel concert...or time to say goodbye to old love
Mengiris hati banget pas Chase nyanyi dengan pedih nya...menangisi cinta nya yang bertepuk sebelah tangan....
" I found you
floating between the pores of time
I found you
a dream of pale flesh and bright eyes
a fever dream
The moment our eyes meet
I saw the gleam of need
and I couldn't resist
I found you
and I fell for you
but you walked away
I found my self
lost in the long dark night
watching the stars burn
watching your image fade
I found my self
dreaming in the dark
loving a ghost
a vision of you
not dead but gone all the same I found my self
broken by you
blooded by you
I found you
a dream of pale face and bright eyes
a fever dream
I found you
nothing but a dream
I found you
nothing but a dream"
Dia cuma mau Jeff take care of Anna...dan mikir...where did I go wrong? Apakah jadi rocker gak boleh di cintai dan mencintai? Apakah rocker bener2 gak bisa setia? Gak bisa memberikan rasa nyaman?
We'll see Chase....why did Anna thought about you earlier, in your own book....(that's why Anna didn't choose you in a first place)

This series was fantastic!! As a woman with curves myself I totally understood Anna and her body issues. Now unlike Anna, I have never had a smokin’ hot rock star in leather pants pursue me relentlessly but I was lucky enough to find my very own man like her Jeff! A man who makes me see myself through his eyes and helped me realize my beauty and awesomeness!!
I was concerned coming into this book after reading the first three smaller novella’s because I was so worried that it was going to be a lot of heart ache. Now, as Anna has to choose the man to spend her life with obviously someone was going to get hurt. Fortunately, the happiness in the story outweighed the hurt and I enjoyed this book immensely. Another thing that makes me happy is that the story does not end with Anna and her man. The story continues with yummy rock star lovin’ books! To this I say....Bring it on!!

WARNING: Long review and some spoilers.
Anna's life is about to get messy and complicated. The book picked up right where the last one left off.
Two proposals in two days. That's how book 4 ended. Jeff and Chase asked her to marry them. And now, two hot guys are fighting over her. Lucky girl!
This installment was longer than the first 4 books. It was exciting, intriguing, and will keep you wanting to know who Anna will choose. There's a lot of issues here. I don't blame Jeff for not trusting Anna when Chase showed up. He has all the right reasons not to, not after what she did. But damn, that guy was really amazing! He loved her enough to let her make the right choice. He'd loved her for six years now but was still willing to let her go and be with Chase if that's what makes her happy. Aww. He wanted her to be happy no matter what. Sweet!
And then there's Chase, argh! He's willing to give up being a rockstar to be with Anna and willing to stay in Detroit. But a girl gotta choose! And I'm so proud of Anna for making the right choice. Atta girl!
The wedding was so damn beautiful. And their wedding vows. Oh. Beautiful. Touching.
"You've swept me off my feet and turned my life into a fairytale because you are my happily ever after.
I loved the way Jasinda Wilder wrote this fifth installment. There's a lot of cliff hanger from the previous books, yes, it left you frustrated, but then again, once you started reading the next book, you begin to understand why... Jasinda Wilder knows how to keep her readers interested.
The story's twists and turns were truly an emotional roller coaster, but the ride was so worth it. And oh, so sweet! The difficulties and problems they encountered together as a couple or apart are what made them seemed real.
And this book made me realized that once you decide to move on, don't look back. And yes, it's hurt. It's supposed to be, but once you move on, you'll realize it was the best decision you've ever made.
I enjoyed this series! I can't wait to read her next book!

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

4 star Series – funny, sexy and some serious hot-as-fuck moments throughout. Anna is a DJ, loves her food and yes, the way she looks. There’s a thick chick in the driver’s seat, and I’ll admit, this is what first attracted me to the series. I’m a bigger girl, and seeing a lot of myself in Anna just from the synopsis was enough to make me by the first four books right away.
Anna works with Jeff as a DJ, this is where she meets Chase; sex on a stick rock star that lives in leather pants. Anna and Chase spontaneously com-bust! When things seem to be falling apart, Anna finds comfort with Jeff – finding something in him she hadn’t noticed before. He’s not just her co-worker, friend …. this could be the beginning of something more.
The series takes you through the ups and downs of Anna’s relationships with both Chase and Jeff – and makes you wonder which is good for her. The bad boy rockstar that makes her feel amazing? Or Jeff, who although makes her feel good too – is more safe than the rocker?
The fork in the road – bad boy or boy-next-door…. decisions, decisions.
And Wilder leaves you wanting more and more and more….
Check out the series!
**SPOILERS**
I'm not going to lie I was COMPLETELY disappointed that she stuck it out with the good guy and left the hot rocker hanging. Even though i know he would have broken her heart? We always end up with the good guy don't we? That's why I WANTED it to end with the bad so i could live vicariously through her lol
Cute books - easy fast reads.

Loved the entire series, worth the read. To me the story is really sweet and its a lot about learning to love yourself the way others love us and see us. "I was finally learning to see myself as beautiful. Not simply because Jeff thought so, but through his endless repetitions, through his demonstration, through constant love and reassurance."

Anna. Bitch, please. 😆
Chase. Dude, get a grip...I feel you man, but you’re on the wrong path.
Jeff. JEFF. Yes. Absolutely yes, I’ll marry you.
(And it’s your quietly unassuming yet sure and steady, genuinely romantic arse that took me from a 3.5 to a solid 4!)
Next!

Another great book in this series.

Before I start, this review is for the entire series to date on the Big Girls Do Series books 1-5.5
As a "fuller" woman myself, this was a nice change.
4.5 Stars!!
Anna is a 26 years old, wears a size 18 and is as she says a "Big Girl". She is one bad ass tough girl that doesn't take shit from anyone. Having had a seriously fucked up relationship in the past she...she doesn't date much.
Enter Chase Delany.....mmmm Chase.
Chase is a rockstar, I mean a full blown rockstar...leather pants and tattoos included. One night know Chase and Anna's life is turned upside down and things become more clear for her. She learns who she is and that she is a gorgeous woman despite her size.
Sometimes....the best thing for you have been sitting right in front of you for years! YEARS!
Jeff Cartwright is Anna's business partner, they have DJ'ed together for six years now. Jeff is a man a very few words, he was in the Army, served time in the war and has seen some seriously messed up shit. Anna has known he has always had somewhat of a crush on her, she saw little looks here and there but that was all, he never pushed anything, shit, he never even said anything.
With Chase living his rockstar life, Anna starts to see whats been in front of her for so many years. Jeff has always been there, always protected Anna (not that she needed it). After and what the hell moment, she came on to Jeff who happens to be a perfect gentlemen.
Throughout the series, Anna finds herself in love with two very amazing men. One who is confident, caring, comfortable and safe, the other is exciting, wild and has some kinky ideas when it comes to sex. She doesn't want to hurt either of them but she knows she can't chose one. She knows she has to chose one....but who will she choose?
I wont give any spoilers but she does make a choice, to me...the best choice ever!! Yes, she does hurt one of the men, she has too, she can't keep them both (how nice would that be) but she finds her happiness, even when put to the test, she sticks with her choice and doesn't look back.
This is definitely a good read, they are short but make you start the next right away, I read the series on a whim one night and couldn't be happier. She has a spin-off to the series as well....most likely gives away who she picks but oh well....you will love it!
The 6th installment of the series Big Girls Do it Pregnant should be out sometime in February. ( I emailed Jasinda and she gave me the estimated time)
If your like me and don't have a skinny little perfect body, or shoot, even if you do, give us big girls some lovin too!
Also the first book in the series is free on Amazon....go get it!!!!

I knew I was gonna love this series from the very first sentence in Big Girls Do It Better,
"Two things get me into trouble: food, and my mouth."
These were a very quick, fun, pleasant and HOT, I emphasise on HOT short stories. I simply adored Jeff. What was there not to love about him? He's kind, sweet, considerate but most of all understanding - "I love who you are, and I love every single thing about you, good or bad, I know you've been through some hard shit, and I wish I could take away the pain you've carried. I would take it on myself if I could. But I wouldn't change anything about you. Our pain and mistakes and faults are an integral part of us. They make our joy and successes and qualities all the more significant. And I'm glad Anna got to finally make the best decision.
These are my Anna and Jeff.

Dear Ms. Wilder,
Thank you for the last delivery of this series (I hope, at least).
Was kind of entertaining reading a big girl POV for romance, and exploring insecurities. I might say that I was a litte (just that) reflected with this character, due to I'm a big, voluptous girl myself.
But... yes, there's a BIG but: too way predictable. I mean, since third novella, I already knew that Anna was keeping Jeff, and that the Chase fling was that all pure sex affair.
I don't know if I'd keep reading Chase's POV. I'll give it second thoughts.
Although, thanks for writing these books, and letting the world know that us big girls are also normal, pretty, sexual, tender human beings.

This wasn't a long book... but I felt like it was too long. It ended sweetly and I was glad there wasn't some crazy twist to throw me off. I guess I just feel like this would have been better if it was a short read like the others instead of a full length novel. The snippet of Chase's story... All though they didn't say who the person was that visited him, I think we all can figure it out fairly easily. It should be a very interesting turn of events.

Well Anna has finally chosen between Chase & Jeff and wow it has been a roller coaster!
This installment moved me to tears and I was very unhappy with Jeff in a certain part in Vegas to the point of reading through tears.
Hot, emotional, very sexy, yet another winner for Jasinda. Can't wait for the next series!

This was a great book. It has Anna trying to decide who to accept. Both Chase and Jeff proposed and now she is really confused which one she wants. Or does she want no one and be on her own again. Anna has a big emotional decision to make and read this to find out what she does

So happy with how this turned out! Can you imagine?! TWO amazing men wanting you?! Excited to read the rocker series now :)

Oh Jeff you are a nice guy! Really!! What you did for Anna was really really sweet! I wish a lot of guys has an attitude like you. Oh this is one of the best episode of this series.

Wow, a lot of the reviews talk about how she made the wrong decision. I love Jeff so much more for Anna than Chase. Also, Anna would have hated following Chase around on tour and being surrounded by girls always questioning not only Chase but her self worth. There was no competition with Jeff, Jeff had liked her for awhile and stuck by her side. Even through her marriage to Bruce. They make sense together.
Chase saying he would give it all up for her was dumb, he knew that wouldn't make him happy and if he knew Anna well enough, he would know that she saw his potential with music and a career doing it. She would have never been happy telling him to give it up for her.
So I like the outcome! So much sex in this book though that it's almost boring.

Big Girls do it Married. This is quite a bit longer than the previous books in the series, as it has 8 chapters. Anna is stuck between Chase and Jeff, Jeff and Chase. The same old song and dance, only now both men have proposed to her. Eventually she makes a choice (spoiler) after much debating Jeff is the one she can't let go of. She breaks it off with Chase and as she attempts to live happily ever after Chase surprises her by coming to her apartment and tries to have sex with her but she refuses, but the damage has been done. Jeff saw the whole exchange from the open door to the hallway. Though he realizes Chase was making the moves and again forgives Anna. Enter yet another sex scene between Jeff and Anna.
After Anna starts trying on wedding dresses and accepts that she is going to marry Jeff, Jeff surprises her with a romantic get-away to Vegas to get married inviting her best friend Jamie, and his best friend. Then he goes and tests Anna one last time before the wedding. Chase is in Vegas performing at a mixed-band concert venue and Jeff says if Anna wants Chase, this is her last chance to leave and go with him. But despite being angry with him, he chooses to stay with Jeff. Again, enter another sex scene between the two. Wedding comes Anna is surprised by Jeff with two unexpected (but welcomed) guest. They get married and leave immediately to their honeymoon spot. More sex scenes in the mix here, and a surprise destination.
I do like that Anna finally made a choice and settles down with Jeff. I like Jeff more than I cared for Chase. I'm just surprised at how many times Jeff has taken Anna back.

Love triangles are always messy. But this author has been able to convince me that anna really loved jeff. Also I liked she gave us a really great closure. Authors tend to do back and forth up until end of a book and fail to convince me that the fmc choose the right guy.
Really great series. Enjoyed it a lot. First time from this author will try more from her.

Not as great as the others
While I love the storyline, there was less of that in this one and the sexual scenes definitely overtook and I feel it made this one Super repetitive. Don't get me wrong, I love smut. This one was just a little too much blandness for my liking.
