Melani: A BBW Love on the Rise
Melani Clark has always had dreams of being a plus size model and stylist. Despite her beauty and her dreams, serious issues from her past lead to her feeling trapped in a dead-end job at a boutique. Then, her boss notices her skill and gives her the chance of a lifetime to work with her idol, plus size model Nubia Lee. In the process of getting with Nubia, Melani meets party promoter Javion Banks at one of his events. The attraction between them is instant, but used to protecting her heart, Melani is hesitant to go all-in with the popular and sexy Javion. Javion has been living the life, traveling around the world promoting the most exclusive events for the wealthiest people. But what Javion lacks in his lavish life is love. He’s so busy with his successful business that he really has no time for women. Then, he lays eyes on Melani Clark. Once he sees her, he has to have her. Unfortunately, his assistant—and sometimes bed buddy—stands in the way. Javion’s situation is a prime example of why you never mix business with pleasure. Will his past mistake prevent Melani and him from having a future?

A Great Read
I'm always ready for a Todd read involving a beautiful, plus-sized woman. There are so many misconceptions about our determination and drive. Melani has definitely had her share our had times. Her post has held her back too long. As soon as she begins too see value Inn herself, her past comes right back to try to destroy her. Javion loves her and is willing to walk through the fire with her. Marshon has never been more sure our what he wants....... with Erin. But his past is threatening to destroy everything in has future. I'm impressed with the entire storyline of each character. Hold on tight for a bumpy ride. 💙

Hmmm..deceitfulness
The past always have a way of catching up to you. Melani has already had a hard life what more Ltd aged for her. It’s time for her happily ever after. Uncle Booby and Melody are miserable, deceitful people who are reaping what they sown. Hopefully Melani will see that she’s winning and not make Javion pay for his uncle’s sins. Erin needs to stop crying so much a let Marshon lead. But no lady needs to be so taken by a man that she puts his desires before her own. Stay truth to you boo. Overall this is a good story.

I love her story🥰
Melani life has been a struggle but, with her best friend Erin they make it work. Melani has a plan for her life you know there's always haters though. This book is about devotion of friendships, healing and new love. My heart just broke for melani I found myself rooting for her and Erin. Jaivon had his work cut out for him with Melani. Erin and Marshon had their haters too. I like this book I enjoy reading it.

Melani: A BBW Love on the Rise
I gave this novel a 2.45 🌟 rating. The story was an ok read. The characters in the book dealt with trust issues, physical, verbal & sexual abuse. Melani did seek therapy per her BF request. Javion was patient 👨 when dealing with Melani's sadness & nightmares. Marshon & Erin were their close friends and a special 💑.a special couple that grew on me.

My first book from this author and I'm not disappointed. I love what Lani's character represents but didn't really like her. Reading about a fine bbw is a welcomed change for me. I guess it's true what they say, love has no timeline because baby these folks fell hard and quick. And some of these characters had me cussing. I can just tell the drama is coming in the next part, especially from crazy ass Liv.

Whoo! Chile!
This story is beautiful and tragic at the same time. It’s a shame that Cliff is such a coward he let his new family mistreat his own daughter. Not to mention how he knew Lani was his daughter all along and didn’t tell her. Now the crack head uncle is a rapist. Ready for part. 2 like an addict.

I love this book... It was a good storyline... I hope Mel get over her demons but after that ending they have come to the surface... I hope Erin stays true and doesn't run from Mar anymore... I hope Liv doesn't do whatever Payne wants her to do...

Love the twists and turns of the book. I hate that Lani had to deal with her ma and her dad mistreating her. I really wish she will open up and let Javion in. Koree has to let him go cause he don’t want her. These women are crazy wanting men who don’t want them.

Well What Do You Know
I figured that book one would end this way. This story was all over the place from a needy assistant, young baby mama, sick auntie, who’s tha daddy and brain dead mom. But it is all coming together thank goodness. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Whoa
The ending was a shocker. Part 2 should be very interesting. Javion is probably going to hurt his uncle being that he is moving foul anyway.

Whew
This story was moving pretty quick. I just wished the lead character started with therapy. Plus, I figured out some parts early on in the book.

Lots of drama
My heart aches for Melani. So much being thrown at her from all different directions. One thing I'm missing is a complete picture of all of the main characters.

Another amazing read from Tyanna! I love Melani’s character she has an amazing personality and spirit. I will be so glad when her past demons stop haunting her. Her mother deserves everything she has coming to her. I hope that her relationship with Javion can continue after what comes to light at the end. Definitely looking forward to part 2!

This book was so heart touching!!! Melani is the definition of a warrior and a survivor!! This book was fascinating from the beginning to the end!! I cannot wait for part 2!!!
