Twenty-four-year-old, plus-size model, Layla Turner has sacrificed much and worked hard to be at the top of her game, concrete evidence that she was able to rise from the ashes of her past. Then her life suddenly changes when she starts losing her signature creamy, caramel brown hair that helped to set her apart from the rest of the pack. This mysterious illness could mark the end of her career—and the demise of her two-year relationship with her fiancé, Gage Shelton.
Pediatric oncologist, Dr. Clint Collins is a highly respected physician in his field. He has an excellent track record, as well as the love and confidence of the kids in his care. But something sinister is causing some of his young patients, who seem to be making a full recovery, to lose their battle with cancer. Not only does Dr. Collins feel somewhat responsible, but he also risks losing his job as he tries to uncover the truth behind his patients’ deaths.
Layla and Clint’s worlds collide when they meet each other for the first time at the General Hospital. Their attraction to each other is tangible, but while Clint is ready to give his heart, his love to Layla, she holds back, thinking that since she isn’t good enough for Gage, she certainly isn’t good enough for him.
Can the balding, plus-size model learn to appreciate her perfectly imperfect self and to give love a chance?

If it weren’t for the glaring grammar/editing issues I would have given this a 4 or 5 star. I loved the story of Layla and Clint and the alopecia issue. I have known many who have suffered from it. Layla was a breath of fresh air. She was real, someone I would want to be friends with. Clint was sweet. You knew he was smitten right away but he wasn’t overbearing. I’m glad he got to bottom of the issue with his patients. That was heartbreaking. And Charlotte was a sweetie. I’m glad she survived. All in all a good story.
I like Roxy Wilson as an author and I loved the premise of this story but it needed to be longer to fill in the gaps in the story.
Pros: Strong heroine. Great quotes at the start of every chapter. An epilogue so that you know what happened with the characters. An intriguing storyline that weaves in real-life medical issues - cancer, alopecia. Also the issues of molestation in the modeling industry, rape, and medical malpractice. The story has a HEA.
Cons: There is not much of a description of the hero (I need to imagine what the characters look like). The issues were glossed over. The deaths at the hospital, the heroine's relationship with her mother and her mother not getting psychological help, the attempted rape and arrest by her manager.
I received a copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
Ms. Wilson has done it again. She has written a great novella that not only entertains, but informs. She has tackled not only the topic of plus size modeling and some pitfalls that go with it, but also tackled the topic of alopecia in women. The intersection of these two issues creates a story that is very touching and important. What was even interesting was how the people around Layla treated her, good and bad, when her hair issues manifested. My only concerns about the story was that the issues with her mother, while I feel were critical to her life, were glossed over. I continue to LOVE Ms. Wilson's writing.
This book was exceptional. I now know why I am such a fan of Ms. Wilson's. She's an exceptional author. She pulls you into her books with wonderful writing skills. She makes you feel what her characters feel. You feel as if you're living with them. You definitely don't want to put it down once you start reading. I wish all the best for Ms. Wilson and can't wait for her next book.
Clint and Layla's story was a very touching and moving one. How does one feel when others see them as imperfect? This was a short, but very telling story. Layla had a lot of issues to deal with that didn't include the loss of her hair. I enjoyed the read and the story flowed very well. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys seeing the good guys come out on top for a change.
This book was really good . ...it touched on some touchy subjects. The author tied it altogether and sealed it with love. Click you a copy you won't be disappointed.
