Adalee

Curvy Girls Can #3

by Sadie King

Adalee
They call me the Viking Ice Queen. I’m the plus-size model who refuses all men until I meet Hayden. He watches me through the lens and it makes me feel beautiful, confident, and bold, bold enough to do something I know I shouldn’t...

But what happens when the one man I finally trust betrays me?

Hayden
Since the moment I saw Adalee on the fashion runway, I’ve known she’ll be mine. And now that I’ve got her in my photography studio, I’m not letting her go. But it’s not just her curves I crave. I want her heart, body, and soul.

Will she open herself to love, or has the Viking Ice Queen frozen me out of her heart?

Adalee is book three in the Curvy Girls Can series. Short, sweet and steamy insta-love stories about women with big curves, big attitudes, and big dreams and the alpha men who are man enough to love them.

High heat, oh so sweet, and always with a happily ever after. Each book in the series is a standalone. No cliffhangers.

Adalee & Hayden

Adalee is a beautiful, curvaceous, plus size model. It was on a swim wear shoot that she meets the photographer, Hayden. There is something about him that she is so unbelievably attracted to, which is a feeling she never had before. Her dream is to be an actress.

Hayden has been attracted to Adalee since the first time he saw her in a fashion show a year ago. When he comes to Adalee's defense, his client tells him that he doesn't have a chance with the "ice queen". She is called this, because she refuses to sleep her way to the top.

After the shoot, Hayden invites her to do a shoot at his studio the next day. His passion is portrait shots, but has to do fashion ones to pay his bills. It's during the shoot at his studio that the two get together for the first time and fall in love.

The next day, Adalee is told by her best friend that there is a nude photo of her on the internet and she thinks it was Hayden - she feels so betrayed! When Hayden calls she tells him off and he has no idea what he did!

Did she get it all wrong - can Hayden be the creep that her mother warned her about after all? Or is there more to this "nude" photo than meets the eye?

Sorry, not a fan of spoilers - you must add this short read to your library!

Adalee is a plus-size model, tired of modeling and looking to go into acting. Hayden is the photographer on her latest shoot. She agrees to a private session with him, and things get a bit steamy. But the next day, nude photos of her show up online. This is a great addition to the Curvy Girls Can series. Adalee and Hayden have an immediate attraction to each other, and she trusts him like no one before. I especially like that Hayden goes out of his way to prove his innocence, and find out who released the photos. They have a very sweet happy ending.

A well-written, lighthearted story! Perfect for a quick escape from reality! Adalee and Hayden meet on a photo shoot, though they've been aware of each other for some time. But that first meeting is all they need to fall in love! Adalee is ambitious, careful, and tough, but also sweet and innocent. Hayden is a talented photographer, patient, possessive, and utterly besotted with Adalee. A bit of drama, a misunderstanding, but thankfully it's all quickly resolved. Low on angst and drama. Great fun, and definitely one you'll want to read again and again!

Modeling

She a plus size model and he takes the photos. She don't sleep around and he's been wanting to work with her and to be with her. The energy and chemistry is strong , then some bad photos come up, with help he finds out who did this to her. His has a gallery opening of his photos that he's doing and she's in them and introduces her to a producer. All is well and they are together.

Sweet story!

Adalee is a beautiful woman who is tired of not being taken seriously as being more than a plus size model. Hayden has been attracted to her for more then a year, since seeing her on a runway. They managed to get together alone so she can model for him. There is a terrible misunderstanding, and she believes he betrayed her , after she trusted him. Of course they get that resolved and they get their HEA ending.

I enjoyed this so much. It’s a short story but has a powerful message. A curvy model looking to make her way in the world and actually follow her passion. The attraction and connection between Adalee and Hayden is immediate and I love his protectiveness.

Hayden was so sweet and so so much in love with his woman. He loved all her curves and wanted to make all her dreams come true. This story was sweet, romantic and steamy. A totally safe story without drama.... just sweet romance.

Didn't disappoint!

I wasnt as keen to read this book as the other two in this series. Hayden isn't a normal alpha male and I'm not a fan of the artistic type. However, he is a good character. Adalee, love her name, is a curvy model that wants to be an actress. Give this one a go, you'll love it!

[Sandy Johnson]

A new to me author with a steamy instalove story. I loved the characters and the story. I will read more from this author.

Awesome!

This was another quick read that was totally awesome!! The story was entertaining with great characters. Adalee is a sweetheart whose toughness you have to envy because of her job. Hayden is a total stand up guy and he is so good to Adalee. Loved their story!

Beauty Seen

Hayden sees Adalee's true beauty and with a little nudge he gets her to see it as well. She is so much more then a plus sized model, she's kind, beautiful and wholesome. He just has to show her how he sees her and hope she will open herself to him.

Picture Perfect

Adalee is a model with a reputation of being an ice quien since she doesn't sleep around but for the first time she is tempted by sexy photographer Hayden. When she poses for him for a portrait series thing heat up fast in this entertaining read.

Quick finish

I liked the plot in this story. I am glad the mmc did what he needed to do for the mmc. The endings have pretty much been the same for all three books so far, so I hope the author switches it up.

I absolutly loved it! A beautiful love story!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[ChattyChik21]

I liked it

She was kinda blah but overall I enjoyed the story. A tiny bit too angsty for me but still worth a read

[Mary]

It was okay. Didn’t hold my interest as much as I like. My expectations were high as the story revolves around a plus size model and a photographer.

[Iris]

This was a very sweet and spicy romance that you can read in under an hour for that quick little break that everyone needs every now and then. Very enjoyable. Nice writing style and clean editing.

Adalee is a curvy plus size model. She wants a more meaningful role other than eating food or mentioning about her size when being taped. Adalee wants to be more than a swimsuit model for the “big girl “. Hayden is the photographer for this shoot. He’s very respectful and he Has been interested in her for the past year. He invites her to his studio to do portraits. He knows that Adalee does not do unclothed pictures and keeps to her self with open or closed doors. So why does an unauthorized photo go viral after she spent private time with Hayden? Betrayed? No cliffhanger
