Quote:”Nearly all the women there were square and built like SpongeBob.”

I have never read a book from this author and all I can say I am hooked! There are other books apart of this series, but from what I see, you do not have to read anything before as each book is by a different author. DISCLAIMER: 95% of the things I read have a trigger warning and I love it. Protect your peace and mental health at all cost!!!

Like all of my reviews, I won’t spoil it for you, but this is the story of our beautiful BBW FMC Piper. After a shocking event that changes the course of her life, she is now working as a maid for our MMC Caesar. This is a far cry from her normal lifestyle. Our MMC Caesar is a professional boxer that is battling ownership of his life and decisions Caesar is the hottest thing walking, but their journey together is chefs kiss. I loved this book because it was a great short read but didn’t feel like I was missing any details. This really gave me a good palette cleanse and it can do the same for you.

You will love this book if you like a short read, spice in your life, and of course this genre Urban Fiction.IYKYK! Again, check your trigger warnings. Happy reading!

I really liked how Piper came to be the main girl to Caesar. I feel like this story was super realistic and relatable when it comes to appearance over desire. Caesar was sick of what the image meant when it came to what he wanted and who he wanted it from. His uncle needed to remember his place. How ever Piper was going to shine no matter what. When life was coming for everything she knew to be her life she didn’t allow that to stop her. I was glad she was her self and was comfortable and confident in her skin!!

Piper and Caesar

I enjoyed this read.I really liked Piper,after her dad got locked up she could have went into a deep depression but she pulled her big girl panties up and did what she had to do until her trust fund was released even if that meant scrubbing toilets. I like how Caesar knew what he wanted and didn't care what anyone had to say about it. I'm glad unc got his mind right cause he was irking my nerves real bad. Now let's see who's next on Honor's roster.💖💖

From Maid to Paid

This book was a decent read. Especially, once you either ignore the BS (Unc & M🙄!) and or just absorb the hostile/unsafe work environment (OSHA would have an onsite field day!), body shaming & objectification of women in the hospitality industry. Nevertheless, “Maid of Honor: Piper” story ain’t just a pipe dream. Piper & Caesar pave their way to successful careers (on paper🤭), a rapid romance 🥰 & a HEA in spite of the perceived imagery issues. Cute‼️

Loved it

I loved how Ceasar embraced Piper's voluptuous body and stood up to his uncle and everyone else who had a problem with him being with BBW. This book was very entertaining. I loved that Piper got her happy ending. Great Read!

2.5⭐️/🌶️
I felt like the MMC and FMC didn’t have much chemistry. And I didn’t like that the author literally spent 30% of the book talking about the FMC‘s weight and her insecurities about it. I felt like we didn’t get much of their love story; it was skimmed over and didn’t go in depth like the other books in the series.

To Know Your Worth

Shiny a it's Moore, great job! I so love your pen. Piper was such a strong person

loved

I loved how she stuck to what she felt and didn’t back down. I loved how he fought for her. Shannon and that Uncle though smh

What is unexpected

Cesar wants what is unexpected for his image Piper. She is not what everyone is pushing at him. She is that true BBW. He sees her she sees him. He loves what he sees and does not want to hide his desires. He has some issues with Uncle and puts him in his place. No one keeps him from what he wants at this time.

Who Can Resist a Good Love Story

I habitually read multiple books simultaneously, and Maids of Honor: Piper was read between Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina and Taylor Caldwell’s Let Love Come Last, the common thread being the woman taking center stage and the difficult choices that sometimes come with loving. While Tolstoy is dense and steeped in 19th century Russian politics and social mores, Caldwell is set in the 19th century with the lumber barons of the U.S., and Moore is today just a few blocks away! Each novel gripped me, swept me up, and honored the strength of the female lead!

wow

This book was definitely a good read,This is my first time reading a book by this author, about the time Cesar had stood up for his girl because his uncle was getting on my nerves he needed to stay at his place, and not his sleeping with his nephew, I like happy ending so she’s gonna become a first time mom while opening up her own restaurant, you rock piper 🤗

Standing on business

About time ceasear stuck up for his self and what he wanted instead of letting his uncle keep running him he should've been did what he needed to do but I guess him falling in love with piper gave him the encouragement he needed good for him and I'm glad he got Shannon up out of there she was the one who really wanted to use him such a hater she was

Yassss

This was so good. I love Piper and loved Ceaser for her! The constant struggles for us bbws was well displayed and there's always someone trying to bring us down. I'm glad that Piper ended up on top of all the scrutiny and lies made against her. I truly enjoyed this.

Love Changes

The world and the people in it makes ridiculous standards when it comes to images.

I was happy to see Caesar choose love over his image. He didn't give a darn what others thought and went for what he wanted and won all away around.

I loved this story.

[Sassha Reads❤️❤️ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Piper was a pampered princess until her father was incarcerated. Her plan was to work for Maids of Honor until she had access to her trust fund but when Caesar came home from training he made sure to pursue her with the intention of her being his in every way possible.
