The Lumberjack's Obsession

Alpha Males Love Curvy Girls #2

by Kelsie Calloway

I’m her mountain man, and she’s the curvy bridesmaid who’s about to be mine in every way. From the moment I saw her, keeping my hands to myself was never an option.

Hawk
I’ve never believed in love at first sight—until I laid eyes on her. She’s all soft curves, innocent smiles, and completely unaware of how badly I want her. The moment she says she’s never met a mountain man, I know I’m going to be her first

We’re supposed to be here for our friends’ wedding, but I can’t focus on anything except claiming her. Her sweet innocence calls to me, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make her mine. Forever.

Willow
I’ve never been the girl that men fight over. But when I meet Hawk, something shifts. He’s rugged, strong, and the kind of man who makes me feel safe just by standing near him.

He looks at me like I’m everything he’s been waiting for, and my heart races every time our eyes meet. I’ve heard the stories about men like him—protective, possessive—but I never imagined he’d want someone like me. Now, I’m starting to wonder…could I be the one he’s been searching for?

The Lumberjack's Obsession is a sizzling wedding romance featuring a possessive mountain man and a sweet, curvy heroine. If you love instalove stories where strong heroes fall hard for their perfect match, this standalone short is for you.

Willow is a wedding planner and now she is the maid of honor for her best friend. She is shy and her weight always makes her uncomfortable around people especially men after her ex made crude remarks when they broke up. She meets the best man Hawk and her whole life changes. Hawk sees Willow and falls instantly for her. He wants Willow forever and will do everything he can to convince her to give him a chance. Instalove, short, fast paced(it's just a day in the story), steamy, OTT, romantic and safe😍😍 I really missed an epilogue , because the story ended quite abruptly. But still a great story😊

"... a tapestry of emotions woven together in a single day."

The Lumberjack's Obsession is the second book in the Alpha Males Love Curvy Girls series. This story is about Willow and Hawk who meet at a wedding they are both in and end up falling in love themselves. Willow loves love and weddings. So much so that the is a wedding planner and has also been a part of five weddings this year and attended more. This wedding is for her best friend Jessica. Hawk has been best friends with Stephen, the groom, since they were in junior high. But a few years ago he moved from Kansas to Montana to follow his dream of owning a ranch, raising cattle and cultivating the life he had wanted. He has driven back to Kansas to be the Best Man in the wedding, but he was delayed by a snowstorm so he is only arriving in time for the wedding itself. When Willow goes looking for Hawk to work out their duties and such for the wedding she was not expecting to hit a brick wall, which it turns out is just Hawk. Can you say drool-worthy sexy man!

Willow loves weddings so she became a wedding planner. She was part of five weddings last year and has eight weddings to be in this year. Today’s wedding is for her best friend Jessica. Willow is the maid of honor. She is single and has not had a boyfriend in the last three years. However, she is still a hopeless romantic.

Hawk is the best man for Stephan and Jessie’s wedding. He moved to Montana a few years ago. He almost missed the wedding because of a storm but he made it. Willow calms Jessie down by telling her that she will go find Hawk and make sure he is ready to be the best man.

Sparks fly between them from the minute Willow bumps into Hawk. Cute couple.

This was a sweet and spicy, love at first sight novella that would have been rated much higher if it wasn’t for the poor ending. It left loose ends that the MMC had proposed. There wasn’t any type of resolution to even the ending of the evening. How did the evening end? Both MCs were sweet and you couldn’t help but root for them from them. The title doesn’t match the story at all. But my biggest pet peeve is that the FMC focused on her weight way TOO much. If you’re going to write about bigger woman all you need to do is mention it once, maybe in connection to the MMC drooling over her hot as heck full figured body, and then never mention it again. At least that’s what I prefer. Otherwise, the curvy woman trope pisses me off.

This was a beautiful story about Willow and Hawk. Willow is a wedding planner and therefore often goes to weddings. She is a bit tired of being alone at weddings because of her job but never having someone to go with her or to say this is my friend. But when she meets Hawk who is the other witnesses, he might be the one she has been waiting for. Will this be the beginning of their relationship and finally her dream of finally being the bride come true? I enjoyed their story and would definitely recommend it!

Willow is a wedding planner who has been in 13 weddings in the past two years and yet she's never had a steady boyfriend to call her own. When she goes looking for Hawk, the best man, she finds her future. He's everything she wants and he feels the same. One night of passion leads them to a happily ever after. Loved the caring and pampering that Hawk bestows on Willow. If only all men were that devoted....sigh.

3.5 stars.

I enjoyed the connection and chemistry between Hawk and Willow, I liked seeing them click and how sure Hawk was about them, and how he let Willow know how he felt about her. I personally would have liked to have seen a little bit more of them, to see the choices they made and to see a glimpse of their future as I was enjoying spending time with them.

Willow is self conscious of her curves after her ex. She's always the bridesmaid and never the bride. When she's at her best friends wedding and meets the best man, Hawk, things might turn around for her
Short and sweet romance with a mountain man.

The lumberjack’s obsession was Hawk and Willow’s story. And is a sizzling wedding romance featuring a possessive mountain man and a sweet, curvy heroine. If you love instalove stories where strong heroes fall hard for their perfect match, this standalone short is for you. I thought it was an enjoyable read. And am voluntarily leaving this review.

Not long enough

That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars I was routing for Willow and her handsome Hawk , dating , her going to ranch...something! Not just dropping out after incredible sex. I need an actual story to go along with that. Up till then it was a great story and I wanted to read more.

The author has given us a fast-paced story that pulls us into the lives of Willow and Hawk. The story keeps us turning the pages with instant connection, insecurities and steam.

Great book

Why amazon insist on 20 words for a review via kindle, I will never know. I just want to say I enjoyed this book.

Hawk & Willow
The title doesn't match the story, which is very short, just one night with no details of what follows. Couldn't tell you anything about them.

short and sweet

Willow and her weight insecurities held her back from dating but that was until a fabulous hunk came along. Love is always sweeter with the right person.

The second book in Kelsie Calloway's Alpha Male Love Curvy Girls series is The Lumberjack's Obsession. From the moment best man Hawk lays eyes on maid-of-honour Willow, he is intent to make her his. A beautiful curvy woman who has long been self-conscious, especially after a jerk-of-an-ex, Willow isn't quite prepared for Hawk's determined attention. A swoony, steamy, entertaining instalove.
