It’s a pathetic tale as old as time. Zach, the hefty offensive lineman for Juniper High School’s football team is in love with the beautiful head cheerleader. Jill is completely out of his league, there’s no way she could ever want him back…oh, and she’s his sister’s best friend. But one magical night in the back row of the bus changes everything when Jill asks Zach to help her explore a budding need for intimacy…and he’s the only one she trusts enough to help. What else is a big man to do when the incredible girl he’s loved since childhood offers her lips…and so much more? But is winning Jill’s love really so far-fetched? Or has Zach had it all along…

Dude!!! My heart 🥺🥺🥺



Can we all please agree Jessa needs to write a full-length novel?
I mean I need it in my life 🥺🥺🥺 pls JK?

Zach&Jill
I love how their name rhymes 😇☺️
I think I read this somewhere
"we should always choose the man who thinks he Doesn't deserve you."

Jessa's books always make me feel like a Princess
No!!! actually like a queen



Her heroes are perfections.
They are the best.
They are Protective, caring
and treats his girl like she is the last person in the world 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 and he can't breathe without her 😍

Hefty is totally different from the other three books of JK I read
It was friends to lover themed and not to mention I loved every bit of it 💕💕💕

Also, did someone mention Big muscular guy?
I mean -



Happy Reading 🦋🦋🦋

Oh boy, this novella. I have Thoughts. I went into this without reading the synopsis (as I do for all of Jessa Kane's novellas), and while I was pleasantly surprised that she wrote a romance featuring a fat hero, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why adult romance authors set explicit romance books (intended for adult audiences) in high school. I do believe both characters were 18, but this still was just.... not the move for me.

3.5 Gutsy Girl Stars ⭐

Apart from being a totally sweet friends to lover’s romance, I adored the role reversal in Hefty. It was refreshing for the hero to be self-conscious in the most endearing kind of way.

"It’s everything I’ve been fantasizing about for years, but…guys like me don’t end up with girls like Jill."

Totally oblivious of each other's feelings, Jilly has been in love with her best friend's brother Zach forever. When an opportunity presents itself, Jilly bites the bullet and suggests that they should dabble sexually. And damn was their first dalliance, which happened to be on the school bus, super sexy!

"She’s a horny girl and I get to service her needs.

Zach has loved Jilly from afar, acting as her protector and never imagining they could be more. In his mind, the kind-hearted popular cheerleader couldn't possibly be attracted to a larger boy like himself. He couldn’t be more wrong…

Hefty was a totally cute and steamy read. I could’ve used a few additional chapters as I felt that story stopped abruptly even though we got an epilogue.

"You’ve been holding my heart right here all along. Didn’t you feel it bleeding for you?"

4.5 don’t judge a book by its cover stars- if only it was longer

I’ve read many Jessa Kane books and this now goes to the top of my favorites from her!

Zach is a virgin, and so is Jill. He’s on the football team and she’s a cheerleader. They’re both seniors and have been in each others lives for a long time. Jill‘s best friend is Zach’s sister. Jill is the head cheerleader while Zach is on the football team, a linebacker. This means that he’s a bigger guy, but not necessarily with a lot of fluff, more like thick with muscles and a little bit of fluff. He’s very protective of her, especially when guys talk about her in inappropriate ways. He’s her protector and is willing to guard her against anyone. Jill has been in love with him for years; in fact, one of the reasons why she loves to cheer is because she gets to see him play. And one of the reasons that he’s on the football team is to see her cheer. Kismet 🥰

They’re both virgins and, one day, she brings up exploring with each other, sexually. He agrees and. OH. EM. GEE! 🔥🥵😅 💦. They might be virgins, but smexy times are 🤤🔥🥵😅💦. Jeeezus! Jessa Kane never disappoints! And it felt organic because they’ve known each other for years, so they are very much in tuned with each other. I found myself fanning my face as I was reading this.

My only complaint is that it is way too short LOL but it was so good 🥹

⚠️safety squad⚠️

4.5 “You’re my Jilly Beans” stars 🌟

This is hands down my favourite book by Jessa Kane!

Reading this make me wonder why more books don't have plus-sized male MCs, because Zach was so adorably sexy . I don't even know if that's a thing, but he was! 🔥
He’s looking at me like I’m the center of his universe and I know I’m looking back at him the same way. There’s a promise in his eyes that this is the beginning of something that doesn’t have an end.
The chemistry between Jill and Zach was undeniable and I loved, loved, LOVED this short read! 💞

4.5 STARS!!
He turns my hand over, palm up. "You've been holding my heart right here all along."
Gah!! My first Jessa Kane and it did NOT disappoint!

Hefty was so HOT and so adorable! If adorably hot wasn't a thing before, it is now . . . or maybe it's hotly adorable? 😂

Anyway . . .

Plot: Zach has a secret crush on Jill.
I probably haven't tried to kiss her because the whole possibility of her wanting my lips on hers has always seemed unfathomable.
Jill - who's not quite as innocent as she appears - has a secret crush on Zach.
Eyes glassy, she leans up and whispers in my ear. "Can I put my hand inside your pants?"
It takes a while, but they figure it out. 😍

Ms. Kane has a some serious talent, you guys! Somehow she had me CARING about Zach and Jill in such a short time. And the dirty talk? And the inappropriate situations? Top notch! Loved every word . . . I. JUST. NEEDED. MORE.

No word of a lie, I can't wait to read every single thing this author has ever written. Thanks, Birjis and Lana for getting me to read this one! 😘

I loved this so much! Definitely Jessa Kane's best work. Honestly, if it was a little longer and more developed I would have probably given it a full 5 stars. If you're looking for a fast, steamy and super sweet friends to lovers/best friend's brother story I HIGHLY recommend!

I swear Jilly Beans and Zach are the sweetest JK couple.

“But I want to feel you inside me. Please?” I bite my lip. “Just a little?” Zach bites off a growl. “Jill, you know if I get the tip in, you’re getting the whole cock.”

Original rating 3🌟

⚠︎︎ Warning: this review is just B gushing⚠︎︎
this novella is SO worth the hype OH MY GOD YOU GUYS MY HEART!!!



Listen, i was skeptical too before picking this is up because that bellybutton on the cover? yeap no thanks. I hate looking at my own bellybutton, what makes you think i wanna see others’?
BUT i beg you to just look past that and anticipate the ✨cuteness + steaminess✨ that’s overloading inside this novella.



y’all already know i love me some pining and the fact that it was mutual between the two main characters made everything all the better and much sweeter ✨💓😫 i swear my stomach was fluttering and aching for them both every time i read their inner monologues. Don’t even ask how many times i squealed or screeched over the cuteness.

WE NEED MORE BODY POSITIVITY FOR MEN IN ROMANCE BOOKS BECAUSE WOW. *chef’s kiss* I love you, Jessa Kane for giving men like Zach the spotlight 🥺 I’m sure they’ll appreciate it so much.

I am definitely gonna reach for Jessa Kane’s books from now on if i ever get into a book slump because heck, they just get me bouncing back on my feet again.
They’re short and oh-so-delicious🤤

I deducted 0.25 stars because they are 2 things that Zach did that were a bit awkward and creepy for me.....but let’s just maybe close one eye on that?? idk😬
Other than that, it was 𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑭𝑬𝑪𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 ❣︎

100% my favourite novella of the YEAR.

⭐ 4 stars ⭐

Thank you Ainhoa for recommending this to me!! 🥰

Not much to say tbh, Jessa Kane's works are addictive and now this is one of my faves.

The only thing that didn't work for me was that I sometimes forgot that they were only 18 while having sex because some things felt surreal and cringey(? And I can also blame the cover for making me believe this was going to be about an elderly man bc I didn't read the blurb first. So yeah, I was so wrong...😂🤡

📍 some quotes that I liked:

"You love me?" I whisper, a warm tingle racing up my spine.
He turns my hand over, palm up. "You've been holding my heart right here all along. Didn't you feel it bleeding for you?"


"He's looking at me like I'm the center of his universe and I know I'm looking back at him the same way. There's a promise in his eyes that this is the beginning of something that doesn't have an end."


"Even make a guy like me see himself as a king, instead of a monster.
Now I'll make her my queen."

This was the first JK book I've read that wasn't absolutely ridiculous and I wasn't wondering in the back of my mind if it was playing a joke on me. It was relatively.... normal 💀

And on one hand,

What the fuck Jessa Kane I thought we had an understanding 🤡🤡🤡 I come to you to feel like I've taken a hit of drugs and can't process my environment anymore bc of all the absurdity going on

description

But on the other hand,

This was freaking adorable! 🤯 I mean I always enjoy JK novellas but I pretty much treat them like their own species. Less abt quality and more about absolutely fucking. me. up. on the wtf-am-i-even-reading scale so she's breaking the mold for me rn. These two were cute af and actually had me in my feels! Jill was a fully fleshed out character and unlike the other JK heroines I've read, she didn't have the personality of a newborn baby taking its first breaths in the world, which I very much appreciated. And Zach is so sweet we need more heroes like him!!

He carries extra weight and the way it is distributed literally keeps me awake at night.

Get it Jill!! I'm glad this book did still have some JK wackiness. At one point the heroine gets hit by a car that's for some reason drag racing in a school parking lot bc why the fuck not and also Zach has pictures of Jill taped to his mirror, steals articles of clothing from her and saves them to jack off onto, and at one point admitted that when she was at his house having a sleepover w his sister, he went into the living room where she was sleeping, pulled up her nightgown and then jacked off to her panties. So.............



Notice how I'm labeling light stalking and a sexual harassment crime as 'wackiness🤪.' Yeah I don't know how I got to this point either. But honestly I still found it relatively tame for this author 🤷🏽‍♀️ All in all I think this is her best work out of the ones I've read.

Today is finally the day I follow the example of Ainhoa and Mareeva and succumb to the unrealistically hotness of Jessa Kane's erotica. 💕

Hefty was exactly what I was hoping for: light, cute and so sexy. While there are a lot of things I'd be angry about in any other romance -I mean, their first time... are you kidding me?-, I was fine because it was ridiculous in the most fantasized way.

Head cheerleader, gorgeous and kind, everyone thinks Jilly will end up going to homecoming with the most popular boy in the school. But Jilly knows exactly what she wants: big, bulky Zach, her best friend's brother and the sexiest man alive.

Zach has been in love with Jilly forever, but he knows pretty Jilly in way out of his league. So he protects her knowing they will never be together. Until Jilly decides she wants to experience... and she chooses him. Can he seize the opportunity? Will it be worth his broken heart when Jilly gets bored of him?

My favourite part? Zach is a guy who doesn't need a 8-pack, broad shoulders and tiny waist -like 99.9% of the heroes in MF romance- to be sexy. Let alone the fact that half of them don’t go to the gym because it’s genetics. I’m tired of it and I’m a girl, I can’t imagine how tired male romance readers must be. Diversity is good, thank you so much!

UPDATE:

Just reread this book. Loved it all over again. Confused it a little bit with another big guy snarky girl book (even tho the girl here is actually kinda adorable vs snarky). But still love both.

This is one of those rare Jessa Kane books that has everything. Not just sex. Her writing is usually good, but this one has some innocence to it. Even with a dirty talking mouth, Zach has such a pure, noble, good quality that I ADORE in heroes of romances. Loved him to pieces. And how crazy Jilly Beans was about her Zach made me like her very much.

Good stuff.

********************************

First read:


Wow. Loved it. I hardly ever read anything to do with teenagers, but when it's TRUE LOVE and low melodrama, just 2 almost-adults figuring out how to tell each other they love them, and discovering carnal joys together for the first time... well... LOVE IT!!

The pretty blond cheerleader was not annoying. The husky giant quarterback was awesome. What's not to love?

Well, you do have to ignore the fact that:
1) they're both virgins yet seem to know how to dirty talk better than experienced sex-perts
2) it's her first time and she takes it against a wall while he's a "giant" in that area and somehow doesn't walk funny for weeks after and STILL manages to orgasm... hmmm
3) no birth control or protection was talked of and they just stuff themselves silly with all kinds of fluids, and no mentions of pregnancies either...

Ignoring all that, it's PERFECT, and I was happy to suspend belief.

Checking more of this author's books out. This little gem packed a punch!

In summary?

A simple, sometimes funny, tale of two horny and lovesick high school virgins who proceed to get it on like experienced porn stars and live happily ever after.

We go from this:

"You are kind and intelligent and sweet and creative. The fact that you're hot and men will fall all over themselves to lock you down... that is not the most important thing about you."

I didn't find certain aspects overly realistic, but, hey, whatever. Zach and Jill's dynamics, as they found their way to one another and beyond their personal insecurities, were often cute and I get why others enjoyed it.

That being said, I was disappointed when the author took it to a place where the super protective, respectful, likeable Zach later admits

I didn't buy it.

This probably would have gotten a higher rating from me without that nonsense for its silly, sweet, and fun factor.

5++"love yourself the way you are" stars

Zack is my type.
Although, there is no one like him. So maybe that's not the correct term.
Zack O'Meara is my person. My it. My dream man.


GOD....this book made me an emotional mess in the best way possible. This by far is the best book i have read by my and many others smut queen Jessa kane. whenever I read the reviews for this book, they all were filled with 5 stars and so much praise, I am honestly mentally kicking myself right now for not reading this sooner. I'll admit I binge read almost all of her books this week and it has been a blast. Never once did I got bored, I only wanted to keep going and it was so much fun. Also, my schedule did not give me time to start a full length novel and its frustrating me to no end. This book is one of a kind with such a heartfelt message and it is something we all can relate to. I'm not going to be forgetting these characters for a very long time. If i could give it more than five stars, i would without a second thought and its the first time I have felt the need to give more stars.

Zach is a big, beautiful bear of a man. He’s not soft and cuddly, though. He plays defensive lineman on the football team and no one gets through him. Strapping doesn’t begin to describe him, either. He is muscular, thick, impenetrable. Hefty. Just brushing six foot three. He carries extra weight and the way it is distributed literally keeps me awake at night. Just daydreaming of those generous thighs and the hard mound of his stomach pinning me down.
I’d never get away.
I’d never want to.


Jill has been in love with her best friend's brother Zach for almost all of her life and it has only grown that much stronger and mature but he has no clue. Seriously boys can be so clueless to whats in front of them. she always becomes a stuttering and nervous mess whenever he is around. It was endearing and so cute to watch how she tried to make him notice her as someone other than friend. I also loved the spin, it was refreshing and different. Jill loves the fact that he is all big and burly and hefty and not just that but intelligent and humble too despite being the best linebacker in the school's football team. She hopes to get asked to prom by him throwing hints here and there.

Zack loves Jill ever since she came into his life and worships the ground she walks on but believes that she does not feel the same way. He is protective and caring towards her. He knows her inside and out. He adores that she is funny, genuine, helpful and so fucking beautiful. He believes that she might not find him attractive and feels she is totally out of his league with being the head cheerleader and watching every guy lust after her.

Every single smile Jill has ever given me suddenly looks different. Now instead of just seeing a sweet girl being friendly to the big boy, I see the hope in her eyes. I see her knuckles turning white around her backpack straps and her stuttering my name. I see her running to catch up with me after football games when she could have been with her popular friends.
And I want to die.
I want to fucking die.


They both had insecurities just like any teenager in high school. Zack has always been conscious of his size and feeling unattractive while Jill feels she is not smart enough for bigger and better things or to get accepted to ivy league colleges. I loved the fact that these characters were shown as down to earth with little doubts about themselves like so many others. It was stunning to watch them support and encourage each other and learn to accept who they are.

Her eyes dart to my lap. Of course they do. My embarrassingly large dick is stretching the nylon crotch of my football pants so thin, you can make out the veins, the ridges, the spot of semen I couldn’t hold back.
I expect her to be horrified. She should be horrified. This guy she’s supposed to trust, this guy she innocently invited to sit beside her, has been aroused the whole time.
Never in a million years do I expect her to touch it.
“Zach,” she breathes, squeezing my cock in her little hand, sliding her palm up and down the thick ridge. Fondling me. “Y-you do want to…to experiment with me?”


Things start to heat up when one game day they end up close together at the back of the bus. Jill got all confident and bold whenever she gets turned on around Zach. It was too hot to handle and i loved how it all started with innocent touches and soon turned up a notch. Zach's possessive and dominant vibes made these encounters all the more sexy and steamy. Still they did not share their feelings towards each other or whenever they came close enough to tell, someone always interrupted.

“Such a hungry pussy you’ve been hiding under that little cheerleading skirt, huh, baby? All those innocent smiles at the crowd, shaking your pompoms. When you really just wanted to drop your panties for me, let me bang you raw.”
Her legs jerk around me, breath catching. “Oh m-my God. More.”
“Yeah, I know.” I grit my teeth against her ear, rifling into her snug hole, my balls tightening, tightening. “I know what you need. You need me to tell you what a hot little fuck you are. You need me to tell you I’ve been jerking off in my bedroom to your giggles for years.”


The rules Zach made were with the intentions of protecting her which also stemmed from his doubts instead they only ended up hurting her. The distance grew between them which only made them more miserable seeing that they belonged together. The jokes and mocking pushed them apart and it broke my heart a little. I just wanted to give them a big hug. Then came the homecoming day.

”Fuck me, Zach.”
Those three words set me off. Jill never curses. She’s a good girl.
But not right now.
Right now, she’s a hot little temptation with her panties on the floor, her dress around her waist, her tight pussy full of my dick. There’s no way to make this romantic, like I always swore her first time would be, on the crazy chance she ever had it with me. No, this is down and dirty, two virgins who’ve been craving this adult act so long, we move in a frenzy.


When he found out that she was not going to the prom and that she too had feelings for him,he knew he had to step up. Just like a knight in shinning armour, he came and whisked her away. I loved how Jill made him feel confident and sexy and how his big size made her all hot and bothered.

”That’s some bullshit, Jillian Harding.”
Her mouth drops open at my use of her full name.
“You get to decide what your future looks like. People who don’t do amazing in high school go on to do great things. All the damn time. And so will you.” I storm toward her, pissed as hell about the garbage she’s been fed without me knowing. Without me fixing it. “You are kind and intelligent and sweet and creative. The fact that you’re hot and men will fall all over themselves to lock you down…that is not the most important thing about you.”
Jill blinks up at me. Sucks in a stuttered breath.
And launches herself at me.


And Zack stood up for her and told her she is just as smart as anyone else and she should not let anyone say otherwise. They were truly made for each other. Together they were strong and beautiful and a match made in heaven. Their story is full of feels and hearts and so many romantic and emotional quotes.

“You love me?” I whisper, a warm tingle racing up my spine.
He turns my hand over, palm up. “You’ve been holding my heart right here all along. Didn’t you feel it bleeding for you?”
“No,” I sob.”
A sheen spreads in his eyes. “Do you feel it now?”
Yes. I do feel it. All the walls are down between us and there’s no mystery left. He’s looking at me like I’m the center of his universe and I know I’m looking back at him the same way.


Jessa never fails to give us a alpha male to fall for who is all possessive as well as romantic and of course with a filthy mind and a dirty talker but with zach not only did she gave us that but someone who is going to take a special place in your heart. If you have not read this yet, then don't be a fool like me and go read their story. It has a beautiful message with tons of heat and smut which only she can deliver.

I’m still in disbelief that I live in a world where Jill Harding is my girlfriend. But I do. She makes me believe it a little more with every second that passes.

I highly and strongly recommend it. ♥️

JESSA??? This can't be the same Jessa who wrote Step Stalker.. I refuse.

This was ADORABLE PLS I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO LOVE IT🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cha and I were collectively losing our minds over how painfully cute this was😅😅 The mmc was ADORABLE OMG. My face actually hurts from smiling so much NO JOKE. HE CALLED HER JILLY BEANS PLS THAT IS SO CUTE I WAS GIGGLING LIKE A DAMN FOOL 😭😭😭

The way they were both so down bad for each other and they had NO CLUE was so wholesome😅
HOWEVER, the smut??? I'm actively sweating thinking about it.🥵

Also, they are 18 in this book and so Cha and I aged them up in our heads because we just felt weird😭

Inspired by the cover of that hairy belly unable to fit in the shirt I wonder what dirty story did Jessa Kane creat. Happy that I picked this book for this is another fantastic steamy read. Two books by this new author (to me) in a few days has confirmed that I'll keep her books on my radar.

Jill Harding is a sweet, gorgeous and a captain cheerleader. She is also silly, frivolous and girly with moderate grades. Girl of every mans dream she pines only for her best friends twin brother.
Zach O'Meara is tall, huge and muscular, inshort he is extra everywhere, yes even down there. 😉 An athlete who also has flying numbers in his academic. Crushing on his sisters best friend, Zach has always daydreamed of being with her.

This is a high school romance between two friends who hesitate to express their feelings for each other. Zach is sweet, protective and a gentleman but beneath he is naughty with a dirty mouth. The bus ride and the nurse's bathroom scenes are so hot. I really want a Zach in my life. I enjoyed this quick read so much.

Gahhhh!!! This book was so adorable! I think Jessa Kane is turning out to be one of my favourite authors because her books never disappoint!

He’s looking at me like I’m the center of his universe and I know I’m looking back at him the same way. There’s a promise in his eyes that this is the beginning of something that doesn’t have an end.

Plot:
Zach has a secret crush on Jill.
Jill has a secret crush on Zach.

They both have loved each other for as long as they can remember but neither of them make a move. Zach had a lot of self-confidence issues and thought that a perfect girl like Jill could never be interested in him and Jill, who always saw Zach as her protecter, her knight in shining armour, has loved him forever but thought that he didn't see her as anything more than his sister's best friend and so didn't make a move either.

"It’s everything I’ve been fantasising about for years, but…guys like me don’t end up with girls like Jill."

They take some time, but they eventually figure it out and it was oh so worth it!🥰

Jessa Kane never fails to make me fall in love with the characters or the storyline and I honestly cannot wait to read more books by her!

"Zach is my type. Although, there is no one like him. So maybe that’s not the correct term. Zach O’Meara is my person. My it. My dream man."

Read 2: I was in the mood for a hefty hero and a story I knew I would love that wouldn’t leave me disappointed, hence this reread. It’s still amazing, still 5 stars and I hope Jessa Kane adds more big guy books soon!

OMG, Jessa Kane is killing me with these bigger men series of books. I am here for them! Loving a "hefty" man myself, this series was made for me. Since Hefty is set in High School I didn't think it was going to be as hot as it was.... I was so wrong. I needed to fan myself with the kindle.

Zach is my new book boyfriend. He's so protective of Jill and loves her so much, he just never thought she could be his. Thank goodness Jill made the first move or else they would have been apart forever! I highly recommend this book.

About 15-or-so years ago (😱 I'm old) I dated this guy named Douglas. He was this hulking swarthy mammoth of a dude, and I was a bit obsessed with him physically. Our relationship didn't last too long, but I still consider Douglas to be one of the hottest men I've ever had the pleasure of being with. He didn't ever agree with me about that.

So, yeah. I have a seriously soft spot in my heart for Zach, here. I adore big guys, and it was so sweet and refreshing to read a story about one. I don't particularly care for reading about high schoolers, but at least these kids actually acted their age, for the most part. Their hesitation, confusion, and excitement were all pretty true to form.

I would have liked for this to be longer, their courting stretched out a bit. But for such a short read, this was very sweet and entertaining. I'm gonna look for more by Jessa Kane because I really liked her style.

This was pretty fast pace and another Husky guy with some insecure issues.

Zach and Jill both have been pinning after one another but never making that move, until Jill ask Zach to explore sex with her its a little rocky at first but they do explore together. But few misunderstanding happen that make Jill think Zach doesn't see her in that light. It takes Zach a second to understand when she pulls away from him. Now he has to get his girl back.

Addictive and cute. Favourite Jesse Kane novel so far.

I definitely want to make my way through her backlist whenever a slump hits.

He is muscular, thick, impenetrable. Hefty. Just brushing six foot three. He carries extra weight and the way it is distributed literally keeps me awake at night. Just daydreaming of those generous thighs and the hard mound of his stomach pinning me down.

"Hefty" is the story of Jill and Zach.

A very sweet-sloppy-moist YA romance between the very nice heroine who is love with her best friend's big bear of a brother. Since this is a JK romance, we have a lot of yearning, heart eyes, major wet sex scenes, double V card and oodles of love filled HEA. Totally felt like an AR read, but I liked that.

Will give you diabetes.
