Stella
Jared
I’m looking for an investment, not a relationship. But when Stella Parker walks into the boardroom, I know I’m a goner. She’s smart, funny, and gorgeous.
But can I convince her that mixing business and pleasure isn’t always bad?
Stella
Fashion for the curvy girl: It’s what I do, and it’s what I’ve built my business around. Now I’m looking for the right investment to take it to the next level.
Jared isn’t a typical businessman with his tight black t-shirt and arm tattoos. One look and I’m in danger of throwing away everything I’ve worked so hard for.
Can I keep my business and keep my heart closed, or will the rock star investor be too much to resist?
Stella is book four 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.

She is looking for angel financing and becomes his angel in the process
Stella is the fourth book in the Curvy Girls Can series and is the story of Stella Parker and Jared. Stella has come to San Francisco to attend several business meetings to find angel financing for her online business, Dressing Her Curves. It all comes down to the last presentation or she will have to go home and close down the business. At that meeting is Jared, a big, build and t-shirt wearing young guy who is raptly watching her, asking questions and making notes, while the other men are all wearing suits and tune out within minutes. Jared knows a good opportunity when he sees it and also an angel when he sees her. He runs some quick figures and decides that Dressing Her Curves might be a good investment so he invites Stella to dinner that night to discuss things further.
Both Jared and Stella had an instant attraction to each other. When he makes her an investment offer she is a shrewd negotiator and will not give up control of the company she started and nurtured from the beginning. They strike a deal and when he invites her back to his place to continue the celebration Stella makes the decision to keep to a business relationship because the business is too important, no matter what the other parts of her body are wanting. Over the course of the next few weeks as she is back home and Jared is in San Francisco they talk, text, email and video conference daily as they work together. But things start to get friendlier and less business between them until late one night they have a very sexy and explicit messenger exchange. Oh oh, what have they done now and what will then mean for their business relationship?
This is a fun, witty, sexy and steamy short story that had me engaged from the first page to the last and also laughing out loud. Both characters are likeable and fit together nicely. I liked this book and would recommend it.

Stella is at another business meeting trying to get investors for her business "Dressing Her Curves." There is only one person in that whole meeting that's even asking questions. Jared is smitten the minute Stella walks in the door. He loves her curves, loves her presentation, and decided her wants her too. Over the top insta love. They are perfect for each other. Her business takes off, she and Jared make her online business a franchise that women are buying into and it's thriving. Sweet, steamy sexy love. Might be a short story but has lots of punch!

On line fashion
She needed investors and the group she was on her way was the past ones to talk to. He has the look of a biker and not an investor, while the others investor more or less brushed her off he didn't, he had plenty of questions. They had a business dinner can to an understanding and video chatted everyday. It seem they fell for one another as time passed and everything is good

I loved this story. I don’t know if the business Stella has in this story already exists but if it doesn’t, Sadie is onto something. I love that Stella sticks to her guns and doesn’t give in to Jared right away. Ironically, their friendship and relationship develops online but it was inevitable that would eventually come together. And boy, is it explosive!

A bit naughty with a whole bunch of heart!
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 characters, but the minor ones too.
Also, it caused me to lose sleep because I couldn't wait another day to read it!

Board Room
When Stella lays eyes on Jared in the board room before her presentation she becomes more nervous. When she discovers he is genuinely interested in her business and her as a woman she's elated but wants to keep it professional. Can you really keep love at bay? It tends to work it's way in as Jared and Stella discover in the best way.

Fast pace
The instant connections in this series are hard to believe for some. I love that they know what they want and go after it. Jared believed in Stella and supported her in her business. Stella was reluctant to mix business with pleasure, but I am glad she did.

Stella! Sorry. Just had to do that. Anyway, this is an instalove, instant affair. Cute couple learning about each other and how to carefully manage a new, and hopefully forever, relationship.
