Beautiful: The Epitome of a BBW

Rate this book
A BBW is a woman who’s brilliant, beautiful, confident, and comfortable in the skin she’s in, and that’s exactly what thirty-year-old Blu Stevens had grown to be. Being a plus sized woman hadn’t always been an easy task, but with the help of the one person she loves dearly, Blu has learned to love all of her. Despite the childish standards of what society has deemed to be beautiful, she has overcome her fears, conquered the world, and taken claim of success in all its glory. However, there’s still something missing in her love and companionship. One day, when she least expects it, cupid shoots her with his bow, and she bumps into the fine Mr. LaMir. He’s a hood dude through and through and is different from anyone she’s ever dated, but that’s what makes him special. The attraction between the two is undeniable, and Blu soon finds herself falling head over heels for him. However, there’s one he has a baby mama from hell, and she’s willing to fight Blu tooth and nail to keep him!

Thirty-two-year-old LaMir Wallace isn’t your typical hoodlum. When he hustles, he hustles with purpose, and that is to get out of the hood. The streets are the last place he wants to be, and he only uses them until he finds his way out. Now, LaMir is young, successful, and rich with a whole lot to offer a good woman. However, he’s stuck with the mother of his child, who doesn’t appreciate him, and feels like she’s owed the world. The only thing keeping the two together is their child, but is he willing to give up his happiness by staying in a relationship that is eating away at his soul? When Blu Stevens and LaMir Wallace cross paths, they both see and feel something in each other that they’ve never felt before. However, with LaMir knowing his situation, he desperately tries to shake those feelings for Blu, but he can’t, and Blu feels the same about him.

Life isn’t always peaches and cream, and each relationship comes with their own set of problems. Will the two’s love be enough to conquer all, or will the trials and tribulations be too much to bare? You’ll see in this wonderful tale of The Epitome Of A BBW.

3.5 ⭐️ I can’t stand when a synopsis of a book paints the picture about 2 characters falling in love & includes sections and chapters about other people in the book! I feel that it takes away from those characters & thus causing the book to lack details with the main people the book is supposed to be about!

However, LaMir Wallace & Blu Stevens made a beautiful couple! I loved the way LaMir took his time with Blu & was honest with her. Although Blu seems very secure, I love how she was able to be vulnerable with LaMir about her insecurities! Her character was developed so perfectly to me!

Liam & Ivory made a beautiful couple as well. What a way to step up and be a man to a woman that has been wronged by a clown 🤡! I loved LaMir & Liam’s parents, especially Mrs. Joyce she was definitely a real one! However, this hoe Tia & clown 🤡 Kalib!!!!!!!!! Baybeeeeeehhhh, I’m too curious to see what happens in part 2.

Good story

This was a really good story. Blu a successful BBW who handles her business. I love that Blu is so confident and doesn't let anyone talk down to her. I love the relationship her and her best friend Ivory has. I'm glad they both met goof men in LaMir and Liam. Part 1 ended in a cliffhanger let's see what unfolds in part 2.

This was my first read from this author and I enjoyed it. It was interesting seeing a new spin on the romantic relationships where the woman doesn't have to have the perfect hourglass shape or be the baddest in the city, etc. I enjoyed the character development that...

I couldn't put it down!

This is a great book. I was immediately taken in by Blu, Ivory, Liam, and Lamir. Blu has confidence but is still dealing with the effects of her Mother and Kalib's mistreatment. Nanny cracks me up! Ivory definitely has some of her traits. Tia is something else. Grimey doesn't even describe her. Kalib is crazy and missing out on money because of his jealousy. Money is what he needs to keep Tia. I guess he figured he'll just blackmail and scare her into staying. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace don't hold any punches, when it comes to Tia. I wonder if they had suspensions about the paternity of Lea. I can't wait to start the next book!!

Okkk!!!

So I really like this story line so far. I love how feisty Blu and Ivory is. There relationship is most definitely friend goals!!! Blu's relationship with her dad is nothing short of amazing, even though her mom didn't do right by her. Now Liam and LaMir's connection is crazy, they are each other's keeper. Tia just a sad sad case but Moriah gives me a good vibe. She tells her friend when she messing up and that's exactly how it supposed to be. Definitely a Tyanna fan now!!!

Perfect title!

Your books are getting better and better! LaMir is the perfect example of what a man should be. He treated Blu with the respect that she deserved. Kalib and Tia both stupid and I can't wait until Karma slap them in the face. Liam is crazy as idk what but I love his crazy self. I just know you about to bring the heat in part 2. It you're looking for a book that will keep the pages turning I recommend this book to you. Great job boo

Well Damn!!!

I loved this story I liked how Blu had her self confidence way up there on another level even though dude and Tia tried to knock it down. LaMir was most definitely the man and I liked how he was with his daughter. Now Liam he was on another level with crazy self but he was just what Ivory and Ivan needed. I can't wait for part two because that ending was like whoa!!!

Beautiful

The title says it all. This was indeed a beautiful story. I love how it is catered to a BBW. I loved everyone except Tia. She is on my list of characters to be choked out. I would love for her to meet my girl Karma. Even though i'm not a BBW, i could still relate to Blu. This entire storyline is an inspiration to all of our BBW. Very uplifting and lets them know their self worth. I am so ready for part 2. #UIP

Woooooow

This book was crazy. Tia is a hot behind mess a d so is Khalib. So glad that Lamir woke up and saw her for the thrash that she was. Blu came on the scene right on time. Liam was exactly what Ivory needed after dealing with a scrub like Jerel. The bond between Ivory and Blu resembles that of Liam and Lamir. They are all a trip. That ending though omg heads are about to rolll after that bomb. Tia know she better get low because all her dirt is falling out everywhere.

Excellent

I loved this book and I can't wait for part two! Karma needs to hit in the worst way! My heart broke for the emotional abuse Blue went through from her mom but I loved that she was a strong woman to me! I know she still working on her self esteewm but her character was strong willed and willing to defend herself! Excellent job Tyanna!

One time for the BBWs

It's good to read about a big girl. Books always have chicks that are coke bottle shaped with long hair. I love this book, it's not a lot of drama or criminal activity like most urban fiction. I love the characters,even the evil ones. They are all well developed. The story is easy to follow. Definitely would recommend this to others.

Goodness

I was draw to this book by it title. I was amazed at how good it is. I fail in love the characters except for Tia behind. I like to read about family and the Wallace's make me want to be Blu. I can't wait to see who's continues to love and who gets what they have coming. I will be waiting on book 2. Good job Thanks.

Great Read

Love this book. I'm so happy that the BBW is be recognized💖... I love the way that Blue handle herself . Sad that your own mama can tear you down that the one person you go to be loved and supported. But this Tia chick is bad new, the bad chicks already get the good guys and mess over them. Love the men in this book as well.
