TOMMY
I’m a tattoo artist. I have been ready to settle down for a while now. I want a woman and a baby. I want a family. However, it’s hard finding a good woman that wants to settle down. Almost every woman I meet at the shop is still sowing her wild oats, so to speak. I used to be able to hang right with them, but now, they are all the same. Like tonight, I could have had my choice of three different women to take home with me, or to the back room, but I wasn’t interested. I haven’t been in a long time.
Then I meet Jamie. She’s a beautiful thick thighed down on her luck waitress living in a shelter. It’s instalove for me and I will do anything to have her, protect her, and love her… I will do anything to give her all of me.

Good

3.5 Stars

This was a good quick story. Jamie is living in a shelter after her mother kicked her out for breaking up with her boyfriend because he hit her. She meets Tommy one night at the bar where she works and he made his intentions clear. When he finds out that she is living in a shelter he insists she stay with him. He was a perfect gentleman and waited until she was ready. He spoiled and protected her and made her feel loved.

Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No ow drama, ex boyfriend punches her in the face in the beginning and calls and texts a lot. H confronts him at the end and ex gives up. H used to be a manwhore and h has only been with her ex.

It was okay. I always like a bit of hardship.

Just to be clear....she's not a bbw. Misleading.

Oh boy

Well, I can see why this book has low ratings on amazon. This needed a lot of work, better beta readers, editing, helping friend, HONEST people letting the author know it needed more work. It just wasn't up to par with other authors out there. I mean, I just found an author who has released two books, and she is OUTSTANDING. It honestly felt like something a college student threw together and figured that maybe, it would make them some money. It doesn't read like someone who actually cares about her craft or the quality of work she's putting out there. This should have been a hard pass for me from page 3. Not sure why I wasted my time reading all of it.

Started good then went to meh.
30 pages long.

Jamie literally traded in a physically abusive relationship for a possessive abusive relationship. Nope, not good in my part.

Jamie left her abusive boyfriend only to be kicked out of her mums house because what would people think 🙄

She stays in a shelter and gets a job at the local bar, and is studying to be a nurse.

Enter Tommy, who falls instantly, makes her move in with him that night, and pressures her to stop working "to focus on school." She falls pregnant as soon as she graduates and then quits her job to be a stay at home mum. What was the point. Gof forbid the author make her a working mum. Tommy is just a tattoo artist. I highly doubt they get paid that well.

Meh.

Saved

Her own mother kicks her out when she tells her what happens with the now ex bf. She lives at the shelter and has a part time job waitressing, he see her and fell like a ton of bricks for her and takes her her after he sees where she's been staying. A place to live and she's getting to know him.

All in Good Time

Tommy is ready to settle down with a woman and make a family. He just wishes his perfect woman would show up.
What he doesn't realize is that Jamie is right around the corner and when they meet he knows she's his. He just has to give her time to see how much he cares for her.

OMG!! Hot, quick read!

OMG!! This series just gets hotter! With this very hot, quick read, Tommy meets Jamie.
After work he decides to take a walk to Frank’s bar and that where he sees eyes on Jamie and boom! He is a goner!
Love the instant connection and chemistry and all his protective instincts are out in full force! Absolutely loved this!

All Of Me

I can't believe her mom, kicking her out because she broke up with the man that hit her. I'm glad Tommy saved her, made her life while again. Jamie got the best life had to offer her.

This is a story of Tommy and Jamie. Tommy is a tattoo artist and Jamie is a waitress and living in a shelter. She left home to get away from her ex boyfriend. Everything all came together at the end. I really enjoyed this story. Loved it! 5☆

that was awful

I love reading sexy romance, however this book was lacking in depth and interest. Short story writing is skill...unfortunately this book isn't written well.

Another great one

I can't believe how great these short stories are. I love that they are plus size women who find men who love them for who they are.

Short and skips any really good part

I knew the book was short but it skims over details that could have rounded the story out. Could be so much better.

Troubles

Jamie is tough, making her way after her ex hit her. Tommy is just absolutely sweet alpha male she needs. This is a great OTT story that will capture your heart.
