Big & Beautiful #12
Stocky & Sumptuous
Stocky and sumptuous don’t mix… except in his eyes.
Vicki Prescott knows exactly what she doesn’t want. A man. Especially one who works too many hours. She’s had one too many relationships end because she wasn’t more important than a job. She was done.
Of course, being her friend’s maid of honor means she’s constantly faced with everything she doesn’t have.
No, doesn’t want.
If it weren’t for that pesky desire to be a mom, she was certain she wouldn’t need men at all.
Hunter Campbell does not take no for an answer. He is in full hustle mode and doesn’t have time for a no. He’s so close to his dreams he can practically taste it. All the late nights, screwed up relationships, and begging for friends to take him in was finally going to be worth it. As long as he kept his eye on the prize.
And not on the sexy red head with an hourglass figure and green eyes that see right through him.
Vicki doesn’t want Hunter. Sure, he’s gorgeous, but he has workaholic written all over his three piece suit and perfect features. He’s good for some private fun, solo, but he’ll never be given access to all of her.
No matter how much her fantasies wish he’d show up and mess up more than just her desk.

About the author
Mary E. Thompson
97 books364 followersUSA TODAY Bestselling Author Mary E Thompson spent most of her childhood wishing she had a few less curves. She hid in the pages of books because her favorite characters never cared what size her clothes were. Now, neither does Mary, and she writes stories that celebrate women like her. Real women who have curves, chase dreams, and find love, because we should all be happy, no matter our dress size.
Mary spends her non-writing time with her husband and two kids, watching too much TV, cheering for her hometown football team (Go Bills!), and hiding chocolate from her family.

Vicki & Hunter
Ooohh what's not to love about this story. I especially enjoy that each story in this series is different but they share the same ideas about love, family and friendships; All require work, communication and compromise.
Hunter is a great addition to the gang. I love how he woos Vicki and makes her think twice about her "dating rules."
Of course, it's always great to catch up with the rest of the gang.
Now I can't wait to read more about Peyton and Wyatt.

Vicki was ready to settle down and start a family. The hard part was finding a man. One who put her first. Hunter seemed to be that man, put like all the others it didn't seem to be going that way.
Wonderful story. Really makes you stop and think how one relationship in your life effects your perception of other relationships. The give and take between partners and learning to maneuver between.

This series was so good I could not put it down and I rushed to get the entire series...all 13 books of them. You will absolutely love every single character in the book, you will laugh out loud through and just shake your head at the antics of these fearless women. No spoilers, sorry. Go on, hurry don’t hesitate, these are just to damn good to pass up. My review will be the same for all 12 books cuz they are all amazing!

Vicki and Hunter
I loved this book like all the rest in the series but, Vicki and Hunter's story felt deep and real to me. This book can be read by itself but is better with the others in the series. Bravo!!! Eagerly waiting for October for the next book😀

This is a sweet romance with a strong emphasis on family and how relationships are affected by past experiences. Friendship is another strong point of this series. Vicki and Hunter are a great couple and they do finally get the HEA.
