A sexy BBW romance by Katie Dowe of BWWM Club.

Plus-sized Zarah gets a chance of lifetime when she’s offered a job to teach at an elite private school.

But she doesn’t expect what comes with it: racism, snobbery, and vindictiveness!

And on top of that, the uncle of one of her students is a hunky billionaire—and wants to sleep with her!

Zarah never would have guessed a man like Adrian Wilkins would go for someone like her…

And when he still wants to see her after a one-night stand, she’s left even more confused!

After all, she doesn’t come from high society, nor is she what billionaires like Adrian typically go for…

So Zarah is left wondering…

Can’t she really take things to the next level with Adrian when they come from completely different worlds?

Or is she setting herself up for heartbreak?

Find out in this emotional yet sexy romance by Katie Dowe of BWWM Club.

I don't know what it is but there is something off about the way she writes her plus size heroines. I'm not sure what it is, I don't like how the focus of her plus size romances is always about the heroines weight. The hero to me doesn't really seem to be attracted to the heroine. I've read plenty of plus size romances were the heroines weight is never the issue. But that always seems to be the focus in this series. And the treatment that the heroines receives from the hero is really not cute. I get you don't normally date bigger woman but there is no need to mistreat someone because of the fact. It's kind of turning me off from reading anymore of her works for this series.

Love in all sizes

I had to start this book several times to get through it. Adrian and Zahar I like there backstory they both seem like loving people. It was nice that they got together. I like the fact that she was plus size lady didn't like the fact that he couldn't believe he was attracted to her.

Nice Change

I like the change from the "cookie cutter" books that are out there. I love that she didn't fall for him after first looking at him. The only complaint I have is the ending was a little strange. It just ended so abruptly.....didn't like that at all

As usual....

I enjoy these stories of black Cinderella like ladies meeting their billionaire Prince charming. I also like how past members are always included in the stories. I must say that I have read every one of me Ford's books and look forward for the next book.

Plus size beauty

This books touches on some many different things that plus size queens go through not only within themselves but also within society. I love and appreciate that this book was done is great taste and appreciate that the author felt heartwarming enough to not leave us plus size queen out of series. I am enjoying the
season two of the Members from Money thus far and can’t wait to finish reading all 51 books. Never underestimate the Power of a Plus Size Beauty. Way to go Adrian😘

A Sweet Connection!!!

I really enjoyed this book. Adrian was about business, a very good uncle, but he also had this laidback desire surfacing for love. Even though he could have basically any woman that he wanted. She intrigued him. Zehra was a force to be reckoned with. His money didn’t impress her. I also loved her friends. This is such a fun book! Definitely read it.

Funny and sweet

This was a good story. The storyline is what mainly drew me to it. I love the strength of the female lead. I love that he fell head over heels for her long before the story ended.

DNF

I couldn't even get past the synopsis. Five foot two and a size 20 is not plus sized. Its obese. To me there is a big difference and I don't like it when obesity is passed off as " plus sized".

U asked for a rating

U asked for a rating, but made us go through a bunch of unsolicited swipes to get to the end. I find that very annoying. The story was very cute. Could've used a lil drama.

BBBW gets the guy......

I enjoy stories where the heorine is a BBBW. Zahra was confident, smart and spoke her mind. She was any man’s dream. Adrian was going above and beyond with his niece which made him a catch. I just felt the sister was up to something.

Rushed and upsetting

I was disappointed in this book. Every other line was “she was not his type” or “he normally didn’t go for girls her size” and any other put down the author could write without calling the girl fat 200 times. Like WE GET IT. Zarah wasn’t a size two but dang it find other ways to show the contrast in the characters other than her weight. Yes her weight played a huge factor in how she and Adrian met and hit it off, but it was also the money that was a wedge between them. The author better not be a skinny bitch bc I was feeling sorry for the fictional character and for the readers that may look like Zarah bc the author kept harping on the weight. Most stories that are BWWM and BBW, but damn this one was meh. I was not impressed and towards the end I felt the author got lazy AF and rushed through the end. Come on. You did all this build up of sexual tension in the beginning to now what? Spoil everything with a weak ass HEA? Boo 👎🏾. I think I better look for something more stimulating and well thought out and intriguing. This book had potential and it had me interested enough to finish it, unlike other disappointing books which get put back in the shelves. I’ll hold out before I read more of these book. I need a paranormal book or something to wash the bad taste out of my mouth that this book left. *shivers

A love like this!

Adrian and Zahra met when he went to his niece's school just after Zahra was hired as a teacher at the exclusive school for girls! Zahra and the principal Ms. Crumpet hit it off from the beginning when Zahra assured her she could handle the spoiled snooty girls in her class. Adrian was attracted to Zahra from the moment he laid eyes on her yet tried to convince himself she was not his type. When he went to the school to protest a grade she gave his niece, he was tempted to give in to his attraction to her but she deftly moved out of his grasp. Finally they gave in to their desires and found that what was between them was far more than a sexual attraction. After not being able to be without each other, Adrian proposed and after much back and forth Zahra accepted and they were married and began their lives together. BTW, Zahra's straight shoot from the lip demeanor won over all of the girls in her class and even helped a few along the way including her husband's niece. She helped their mama's too!! This was a really great read!!! Another Members from Money gets his story and the love of his life. I am looking forward to the next in the series. Great job Katie really great job indeed!

It Was A Struggle...

This book was a real struggle to get through. On a basic level it was okay, but there was something missing for me, when compared to other writers in this genre. I had high hopes, as this was my first book in this series, but now I am not so certain. There are editing issues that arise periodically throughout the piece, and it is woefully in need of greater character and story development. It is as though the author is trying to fit everything into this story, but in the process leaves out crucial elements of the story arch as it pertains to the progression of the main characters relationship. I found the foundational aspects of the “love story” build wanting; however, it does have good bones for further story development and/or reworking.

A Very Good and Sensual Interracial Romance

Adrian: BWWM, BBW, Plus Size, Unlikely Bride, Billionaire Romance (Members From Money Season Two Book 14) is a very good and Sensual Interracial romance that earned a rating of four stars. When Adrian met Zahra at his niece's private girl's school, where Zahra is teacher, he felt attached to her. Adrian could not get her out of his mind and he could not understand why because she was not his type. He fell in love with her and had to go through a lot of obstacles to get her to love and marry him. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to everyone who enjoys reading a very good romantic novels.

Adrian : BWWM, BBW,Plus Size Billionaire Romance Members by Katie Dowe

I applaud Ms. Dowe for her tasteful story about love ,money and pulse size women it was an awesome read especially with the stigma associated with plus size women and women of color. I couldn't put my kindle down. Adrian was my hero when he realized that Zahra was it for him and she realized the same thing. They struggled but in the end love and steamy romance won. This books is definitely for mature reader's. Enjoy!

WOW

Plus size girls need love to. Love the confidence Zahra had. Before I go any further could you please do a book about Zahra's friends Jaclyn, and Marilyn where they get there HEA. Loved the sister bond the three had. Adrian did tick me off a little when he said Zahra was not his kind. True Love come in all sizes, and color. One of the best in this series. Keep up the good work.

Lovely Story From The Very Beginning Until The Very End!

I loved Zarah’s character in this story, so vivacious and full of heart. It would have been nice for her to be a little more hard to get as I felt that Adrian deserved to sweat more for his behavior in the beginning. All and all, I am happy for the experienced pleasure that was derived while reading their story!

School is in Session!

Katie Dowe always delivers a straightforward, sensual story that makes one sigh. I particularly relate to the protagonist as I am a plus sized school teacher. Would that an Adrian would come into my life!

Adrian was attracted to Zarah as soon as they meet at his niece's school where she teaches. They eventually fall for each other and marry. They interacted well together during the story and Zarah is a wonderful asset to the students and parents. I really enjoyed the story.

This story had me on edge. I knew that Adrian and Zarah was going to end up together but the way things fell in line in order for that to be the case was very interesting. If you like drama with a taste of sultry, then this is the story for you!!

I really enjoyed this story because it was refreshing to see the woman involved struggle with the passion and love she had in her life it shows how denial and pushing back can happen with the woman too !!
