Dean got more than just sustenance when Charlie showed up on his doorstep. Their story is sweet and hot as Dean is eager to share more than food and books with this curvy red head.

She delivers sustenance and nourishes his soul until she becomes his sun, moon and everything
The Write Stuff tells the story of Dean Donovan, a forty-one year old crime/suspense book writer who is single and having a hard time writing a romantic element into his latest books, at least that is what his editor says. Charlie, aka Charlotte, is a twenty-three year old grad student in forensics who is delivering food for ChowNow to help pay her way. She also is a huge fan of Dean's books and he has starred in more than one fantasy she has had late at night.
Dean and Charlie meet when she makes a delivery to his apartment and he is immediately smitten with her as they have a bit of an awkward conversation. The next week is much easier and they share some food and he asks her to read a draft of his latest book. The catch is that he will not let it leave his apartment, his way of getting her closer to him. His plan works very well as they quickly become engaged in some romantic activity together which is nicely steamy.
The Write Stuff is a wonderful short story that is sweet, fun, romantic and has some nice heat with a great HEA in the epilogue.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the third book in the Zaftig Dating Agency series. In this book, Dean is a writer who is struggling with the romantic part of his thriller, so his agent thinks he needs to meet a woman and fall in love. His agent signs him up for the dating service without him knowing and he is matched with Charlie. Charlie is a grad student who delivers food to earn extra money. Charlie si also a huge fan of Dean's. WHen Dean's agent sends food to him, Charlie delivers it and they have an instant attraction to one another. When Dean asks Charlie if she would like to join him for a drink and read a bit of his new book to give her opinion, she is more than happy to. I really enjoyed this book, I like this series and think the instant love connections are sweet, but steamy. I look forward to the next book.

The write stuff is book three in the zaftig dating agency series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Dean is a successful author, finishing up his latest novel. Charlie is a delivery girl that is excited when she gets to deliver food to her favourite author. Dean wants Charlie from the moment he opens the door to her. Will Charlie get over her star struck and grab her chance at love with Dean?
The chemistry between Charlie and Dean is clear to see and I liked them as a couple.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

The Write Stuff is the third book in Jane Fox’s Zaftig Dating Agency series which focuses on Dean, a well known author struggling to complete his latest novel, and Charlie, a grad student delivering food to Dean (who is her favorite author) compliments of his agent. This chance meeting was engineered by Dean’s agent and the Zaftig Dating Agency to get him over the loss of his long-time girlfriend which has left him struggling to write his current book. Dean and Charlie have instant attraction. I recommend this quick read which has heartwarming characters, a great plot, and older man and younger woman relationship, instalove, and lots of steamy attraction.

Good short romance
It's a very short romance, but it begins with a good idea: we can read the record of the matchmaker who does everything to remain discreet. She is engaged not by customers but by their friends who ask her to help those who become her clients without knowing it. This allows you to quickly enter the story and understand the situation of the characters. In this well written episode, it is the meeting of a famous writer who seeks to seduce a student who deliverers, and who is a fan of his work. It's simple, cute, but it's good.

This is another of the Zaftig Dating Agency stories with Dean who is a famous author struggling with writing his latest book so his agent signs him up for a match which is Charlotte/Charlie who is in grad school studying forensic toxicology. Dean is a older than Charlie but when she delivers food to him (her side job) and he asks her to read his latest crime book she jumps at the chance. It is a short steamy book with great characters.

The third book in the Zaftig Dating Agency series. It seems to me that each is every bit as good as the last. This one is about an author, Den, and a food delivery girl, Charlie. Their chemistry is instant and remarkable and, oh yeah, he loves her curves. There is a great line in this book that I think every BBW can relate to and you will be reaching out in a virtual high five with Charlie and our author, Jane Fox, when you read it. I am anxiously awaiting the next book.

When suspense thriller author Dean Donovan has yet again forgotten to eat he can thank his agent for sending him a meal. As his Indian food has arrived so has his appetite for the delivery girl. Charlotte a.k.a. Charlie is now the proposed new character in his book. He can’t keep his mind off of her and the suspense is killing him to see her again. So what better way than to come up with a reason for another return. HEA, no cliffhangers in a steamy scene to complete the short story.

This is a wonderful older man, younger woman romance!
I have really enjoyed reading this book, the author did such a great job developing the characters, that I feel like I really know them, and not just the major two characters, but the minor ones too.
Also, it caused me to lose quite a bit of sleep while I was reading it, because it was so hard to put down at night.
What you need to know: this book contains no cheating, no cliff-hangers and a HEA.

Very entertaining story! Upon a “chance” meeting, Charlie and Dean find they have much in common. Who wouldn’t love an accidental meeting where everything falls into a happy place... as it was meant to be. Of course, I wouldn’t mind my own fairy godmother to find me the perfect man for me. Someone who you just click with and hits all the right spots in your heart!

I enjoyed this just as I’ve enjoyed everything Jane Fox has written however in my opinion this is the first “vanilla” story I have read by her. I really enjoy her sexy bad ass billionaires that literally seem to growl possessively every time they enter a room. My favorite part of the story was his book dedication in the epilogue

Dean is 41, and a best-selling author. His agent sets him up because he needs to get a life. Charlie is 23, and a grad student in forensics. When she delivers food to him, they talk and he asks her to read his latest manuscript. This is insta-love at it's finest, with the happiest of endings. It's a good short read, just steamy enough.

Wow! I sort of love this story. It was quick (instalove), but so sweet and yet also steamy. Dean is a writer. Charlie (Charlotte) is a grad student in forensics and a food delivery girl. Dean and Charlie meet when she delivers his dinner one day. They are both thrown for a loop, but recover well. When they meet again, their connection grows. Loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

When Dean gets his food delivered he never imagined the woman bringing it would be just who he needs in his life. From that first look he felt Charlie was special and when they get to talking after another delivery he knows he has to have her in his life.
Will Charlie feel the same?

This is another good and quick read in the "Zaftig Dating Agency" series. This is Dean and Charlie's story. He is a writer who has a bit of a writers block. She is a student working on her masters in forensic toxicology who also works for a food delivery service. It's instant attraction and a sweet build between them. The story is sweet, cute and a touch sexy.
