I don't have time for much more than school and work... and crushing on the biggest defensive player on the Dire Wolves team.

The day he introduces us to his daughter, I know she's my fated mate. But he's declared her off limits, forbidden. There's no denying the pull, and when danger threatens her, I have to reveal my true nature to keep her safe. I'll fight for what fate has given me, even if it gets me kicked off the team.

Series review

I decided to hold off on reviewing until I'd completed the series to this point. I don't know if there will be more books, but they left it open. Overall, these are quick burn and enjoyable shifter romance reads. It's one of those where you kinda know what you're getting yourself into, and you just enjoy the ride. Below are the things I really enjoyed and things I didn't without giving away too much in any of the stories mainly because I can't stand it when reviewers litterally give you a play by play of the book with all the spoilers and in the end you're just like whelp guess I don't need to read that one thanks g2read55572 for ruining it without warning. Aaanywho I digress
Enjoyment factors:
Had some pretty good body positivity moments in each book with realistic emotions and insecurities.
The MMC were definite book boyfriend material
Each book provided its own original story lin3 that tied comfortably in with previous books, while you can read as a stand alone you get more out of the story by reading the previous books in this series and the other series mentioned as well.
Things I didn't so much like:
There were some editing errors, missing words, duplicate words, and typos that were a little excessive throughout each book. These would have been easily caught if reviewed by an editor or even a beta reader.
Duplicating themes like each girl smelling like peaches... would have loved a little variety here
Some confusing story gaps won't go into too much deets to avoid the spoilers but there just a few bits where I got a little confused about the lore in this book world and would have loved maybe a little bit more world building to fill in the gaps.
Overall, great series so far, and I'm hoping for more.

Know your worth, don't settle for anything less...

Can this series get any better? The answer is 100% YES!! Luca is a defensive football player for the Dire Wolves, and I was totally smitten with him from the start. He knows Madison is his fated mate, but barriers have been erected to keep him away from her.

I applaud Madison for her passion in believing curvy girls can be strong, fit and just want to be loved and cherished as every woman ought to be. Luka saw all her qualities and was patient for her to realize how amazing she is. I adored this couple and was rooting for them to have their HEA.

I loved this entire series. Selena is such a hoot. She is always going to fire someone rather they work
For her or not. Luka is a player but like all the wolf shifters is looking for his true mate. Just when he finds her he learns that she is off limits. Madison works at Moon Beans and is the coach’s daughter.
Now that Luka has found Madison he is not
Going to let anything get in the way even if it means giving up football.
I love how Luka shows a side to himself that he doesn’t share in order to win Madison over. I can’t wait to see if coach will find his HEA.
Great series. Looking forward to reading more of Aidy’s books

Phenomenal!

I loved this book! Aidy and Piper are at it again and this time it’s Luka and Madison’s story. He’s a wolf and on the football team and she’s the coach’s daughter. I love how their relationship develops and all that Luka does to show Madison how he really feels about her. Fate got it right again but it will take some time for her father to accept it. Add in Selena and her matchmaking awesomeness and you get a tale that is an absolute must read!

I read an ARC copy of this book and am volunteering my honest review.

I wrote that because Selene has instigated four previous successful matches.
I loved Madison. She defends others very well, but when it comes to her own self she is less confident.
I also love Luka, the way he proves his feelings towards Mads is ingenious. Especially what he did on the football field in front of the "bully" girls from her previous school.
The twist with her father was interesting.
Plenty of fun, spice to the romance and of course an absolutely delicious HEA.
This is a standalone with a lot of heart.

Bid D Wolf

Luka is a Dire Wolf Defensive football player and he has just been told by his coach that under no circumstances will any of the players be allowed near his daughter. If they do, they’re off the team. To bad that Madison is Luka’s fated mate and he can’t help himself to be near her! What’s a girl to do? This book was funny, sexy, and brought in several characters from past wolf shifter books Aidy has written. I loved it so much! Excellent addition to the Wolf world that she’s created for us. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This one might be my favorite

Mads kicks ass! She was so strong, and I loved her goals. Luka was adorable; there's nothing like a strong man who can show you his vulnerable side. The girl gang is oustanding as always. "She winked at me, and I knew at once she was a horrible, no good traitor with my best interest at heart. Dammit." I cackled at this line!
And now I really need to see Selena get her happy ever after! I love her meddling ways, and learning about Coach almost had me screaming!

This is another fab curvy girl romance and this one is for Luka and Madison. She's the coaches daughter, and off limits to the football team, but Luka, a wolf shifter, knows she's his mate. She is tough in the defense of others, but not so confident when it comes to herself. Thankfully, Luka has no problem showing her how legit his feelings are and letting her find her way to seeing herself as he does. Of course, her father is not onboard, at the start, but fate knows what's right ;) Adding in Selena's matchmaking skills, you get a funny sexy read with a fab HEA. Good fun!

Luka and Madison’s story just pulled me right in and I didn’t want to put it down. Madison is the football coaches’ daughter and is off limits to the team. Luka is a wolf shifter who will be an enforcer after college. Luka saves Madison while at the bookstore and that is where she learns his secret of shifting. The big question is what happens to their relationship when the Coach finds out? You need to read to find out. Great curvy girl and shifter romance that is a stand alone in a series. Always great to the previous characters in the series. Great characters and great storyline

Big D Wolf : A Curvy Girl and Wold Shifter College Sports romance written by Aidy Award and Piper Fox. We get to spend some more time with the football team wolf shifter pack and get to see Luka pull some romantic moves on Madison as he tries to convince her that he is her fated mate. I’m really having to consider becoming Team Jacob after this series! And it’s hot and steamy all while being dangerous and exciting! Good quick read!

After reading this book I had to take a little time to compose myself and get my thoughts clear in my head before I put them in a review. I loved it from start to finish there is something happening on every page that will make you read it in one sitting. This book has twists and turns you don’t know what’s happening. will they all get there happily ever after or will it all go wrong. To find out what happens go buy the book. You won’t be disappointed I wasn’t.

A cute fun quick read. Luca knows what he wants, but he has to deal with his coach because he forbade any of the players from dating her. Maddison has a dream to have a safe place for plus size women to workout. These characters are perfect together and I definitely was rooting for them. Luca is amazing, especially what he did on the football field in front of the mean girls from her last school. I highly recommend this book. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A bit of a pushover

Both of these characters don’t seem to stand up for themselves. Luka is so focused on making Madison happy he lets her basically push him to do things against his nature which later causes trouble with her dad. Madison is so focused on avoiding conflict with everyone that she walks all over Luka because he wants her to be happy beyond everything. I enjoyed it, but it didn’t feel like it fit with the rest of the books in the series.

A quick fun read! I loved how strongly Madison stood up for curvy women and was such a strong athlete! Luka was just the sweetest and so caring and protective! I love this series and this was a great addition. I sense a story with Madison’s dad the Coach! A very enjoyable and entertaining story that I highly recommend! This is my honest opinion of this complimentary copy of this book

A beautifully written addition to this series, where Coach declares his newly arrived daughter off-limits to the team. But you can't deny fate as Madison and Luka discover. Full of drama, humour and a touch of angst, this story is heartwarming and engaging and you certainly won't be able to put it down.

Love these stories. They are full of romance, some heat and plenty of sassy women. I don’t want to spoil any of the story so take my word for it you will love it. One big beautiful young woman and one football college star are about to change each other’s world. Plenty of romance that will make you smile and laugh.

Great Story

I really enjoyed the message behind the story it really connected with me in a way I am grateful for. I have been big girl all my life. Thank you so much for what you do. Able to help me to be more sexy and to feel more confident and I just love the way that you all right and I appreciate it. I do want to see Selena's story come to a happy ending.

A decent read

I enjoyed the book. There were some syntax issues where articles and prepositions were left out of sentences, but if one can either get over the issues, or fill in the blanks, it is worth reading. U do wish, however, that new authors did not think that vukgar, detailed sex scenes need to be added to almost every chapter. It just seems so low-class...

Good

Glad to see Luka get his girl. Madison was an interesting character. Didn't quite understand the motorcycle gang storyline. I guess it was just an excuse for Luna to save his girl.

I enjoyed reading this story! I have read the others books in this series and loved them and I love this one too. Love reading about Luka and Madison especially the part where Luka woos her and I didn't want the story to end. I hope Aidy and Piper write more in this series!

Coach's Daughter

Luka is almost positive Madison is his mate and when she is attacked by one bloods it is confirmed but she is also Coach's daughter and forbidden but this wolf shifter won't give her up in this sweet tale.

Finding true love

It was a fun read and a good book.. Madison finding her courage and not backing down. Madison finding big curvy girls will find love when fate steps in and takes over. Luka finding love and his mate in unexpected place.

Curvy girl romance

Another great Novella in this series. It's so easy to fall in love with the characters. Luka and Madison are great match and I think this might be my favourite couple so far.

awesome story

I wish she would’ve stood up for herself but I totally understand that it’s easier to stand up for someone else than it is to stand up for yourself. Her mom is a horrible person and needs some karma in her life.

🌶🌶🌶

I never read sports romance but, being that this novella series was also paranormal romance series I truly enjoyed it. Great plot, spicy, and loved that the BBW got the hot guy. It was also nice to hear about characters from the Alpha Wolves Want Curves series.

Cute and funny with a little splash of gray. I liked the characters, but I wanted a little more from the story. Also, for the size of this novella it definitely needed more editing. All in all it made me laugh, cry, and swoon with a sprinkle of yummy spice mixed in, so I give it a solid 3.5✨.
