Dreams: A Curvy Girl Holiday Romance Collection
A very limited time special edition box set. Get both curvy girl holiday romances for the price of one!
A Christmas Dream
Hayden:
For the last decade, I’ve had the same Christmas dream every holiday season.
It’s lovely, happy, sensual, and it’s total bullsh*t because there is no man like my dream man out there for me.
Luckily, the sexy dream only happens once a year, because if it happened more than that, it would be depressing, a constant reminder of what I have in reality.
In real life, I was just dumped by the latest loser in my life, a man who was just using me for my money, and a roof over his head.
Good riddance, right?
But things aren’t really all that simple.
Problem is, I don’t feel like I’m worthy of anything better because I’m a big girl, and I like my food, if you know what I mean.
So I made a bargain with myself to stay away from men and dating completely for at least a year to give myself a break, and to try to find my self-esteem after dating a string of men who just didn’t want…me.
I thought that promise I made to myself would be easy to keep, and it was…until I met Jackson Gillette in Galveston while I was hiding out in my beach house licking my wounds from so many bad relationships.
Jackson is a gorgeous, drool-worthy kind of guy. In other words, he was trouble.
Men like him did not date women like me.
But when I realized that there’s so much more to Jackson than the eye can see, do I dare take a chance on realizing my Christmas dream?
After all, he might just be exactly what I want from Santa this year.
Author Note: If you’re looking for a traditional, sweet Christmas romance, you might want to move on. This is a sexy, panty melting, fantastical Christmas romance that’s heavily rolled in sugar sweet enough to satisfy your craving for Christmas cookies, with a big dose of Christmas magic. If that sounds like great holiday reading to you, then dig in and enjoy!!
A Valentine Dream
Amy:
February 14th is just another day to me.
I don't really believe in hearts, flowers, romance, or happily-ever-afters. And I certainly don't think there's a dream man for a curvy woman like me, even if my little sister had found hers over the holidays. I'm more realistic. Or at least...I was...until I met Levi Gillette during my sister Hayden's wedding rehearsal dinner The man seems to have an annoying ability to make me lose my cool and calm facade. Yeah, he's definitely hot, but my sister's brother-in-law-to-be was also arrogant, infuriating, presumptuous, bossy, and most likely one big player because the man could be charming when he wanted to be.
No thanks! Been there, done that, and I'd had more than enough of men like Levi Gillette. But when I start having amazingly erotic, intimate dreams about him, it's almost impossible to ignore him in the flesh.
In my dreams, it was like I'd known Levi forever.
But in person, I barely knew him, and he challenges everything I'd ever assumed about myself. We don't even like each other, yet he feels so...familiar.
Finally, when the lines between dreams and reality start to blur, I have to wonder whether I can trust a guy like Levi with my heart.
I knew he was hiding something. There were things I didn't know. I could feel it.

Dreams: A Curvy Girl Holiday Collection
Loved this story. Two sisters who grew up being criticized about their size. Parents who were not supportive of them as well because they were also critical of them because they were not supportive enough for them as well. Always being critical of yourselves because of your own insecurities, and feeling bad about yourself. Meeting someone else who has been criticized for something completely different, yet they have mutual feelings for each other. This story/ stories will make you believe in love and happiness.

A Christmas Dream:
After being dumped by yet another jerk, Hayden Longmont decides a year off dating and a trip to her beach house was just what she needed to work on how she saw herself. However, life has different plans for us sometimes whether we are ready for them or not. A Christmas Dream is a hot, sexy, fun novella with a bit of a twist thrown in for good measure. I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely holiday story.
A Valentine’s Dream:
This is a hot and sexy read with a bit of a twist. I loved Levi because he was so confident about what he wanted and what he was going to do about it. Amy had issues because of a mother who “tore” her down all her life but when she meets Levi he helps her see what a beautiful and strong person she really is. We meet this couple in A Christmas Dream and I’m excited that they have their own story.

Hayden Longmont is recovering from being dumped by her latest loser boyfriend. Between her ex's and her parents they have really done a number on her self esteem. She's wants nothing more than to be accepted for herself and not be used but feels that's not going to happen because she's curvy.
Jackson Gillette is former NFL lineman is used to being used for his money and social status. He is super cautious in letting a relationship develop.
I love these two together. They can relate on so many levels.
I love the twist of intrigue in this story....is Jackson Hayden's lover for her recurrent Christmas dream....and what is the secret that Jackson has that makes him think he is so different for others and no one will accept him....
Love, Love, Love these books!
You get two great books in one!

A Christmas Dream: This was my first read for this author and I really enjoyed it. It was a nice holiday book and I will definitely be checking out her other books as well.
A Valentine's Dream: At first I felt like this was a repeat read but then I quickly realized it's connected to A Christmas Dream. I recommend reading in order but it's not necessary. I enjoyed their story and how it was a quick read for me.

Really Sweet
Not my usual type of romance but both of these romances are so sweet, tender, tearful, and real that I was hooked! As a "curvy , tall woman" all my life, I really identified with these sisters and tried every diet around. Luckily, I found Weight Watchers 23 years ago, developed a new life style with 38 pounds less, and never looked back! I am healthy, happy, and sane at age 80!

Loved it
Both of these books were so good. I was sad that Hayden and Amy's parents were so cruel to them growing up. Not everyone needs to be a string bean. It is good to have a few extra pounds. Jackson and Levi have a unique talent. I am just glad that Hayden and Amy have someone who loves them for who they are. The guys are so sweet and thoughtful. Thank you for these awesome stories, I really enjoyed them.

Really enjoyed both books
Both books are amazing. I love the plots of them and how the dreams were incorporated into them. I have to give this collection four stars due to some spelling and grammatical issues. Just a few, but enough that I stumbled in a few spots. But still totally worth the read.

These are two sweet stories that contain fantasy psychic dreams and two different romance stories. The first story was better than the second. Each involves a chubby girl whose mother laid into her during her whole life about her figure and the man who finally steps up in her life to convince her she's beautiful.

A Bit of a Let Down
I liked the premise of this duet of stories, but the execution was disappointing. I liked the intensity but there was so much should I? Shouldn’t I? that I got annoyed.

Easy read
If you believe in destiny, you will love this book. Easy read. Nice to see another side of Jan's work. Well done...
Sometimes you don't realize your dream, but when the dreams meet reality, there is no stopping what comes next.

romance in the mind - and reality
Wow what a wonderfully fun romance. It’s one for the books I’ve never read before. It was worth the read and time. You will enjoy it and not be able to put it down.

Great Holiday Collection
Christmas and Valentine's Day in one set. Both are steamy yet endearing and definitely worth reading. Curvy, smart, and independent women can bring strong, intelligent men to their knees.

Too Much and Not Enough..
This book puts too much emphasis on the stereotypical shame that overweight women feel. The author was overly repetitive about the shame placed on the main female character by her vain, and abusive parents. This over explaining ultimately lead to a one dimensional character that could only find love in an absurdly magical way. The male lead character is literally pulled out of thin air, with the help of the one and only Santa...? Yeah, I didn’t think he was real nor a matchmaker, either, but apparently that’s the only way a fat chick can land a hot, retired NFL star. Who knew? So, I’m asking Santa for Aquaman this year! Wish me luck! So, 2 stars for giving the fat chick a hunk, and a steamy encounter with said hunk, but overall too much poor pitiful fat chick, and not enough substance and believability.
