Lou

by Sadie King

Lou

When Daddy passed away, he left me the family diner to run, my rebellious little sister to look after, and a pile of debt.
 Two years on and I’m struggling to keep us all afloat. 

So when Colt turns up with his pop-up rib van and steals our customers, I’m determined to drive him out of town.


I’ll do anything to keep Daddy’s diner running and his memory alive, even if it means betraying my own heart. 



Colt

From the moment I arrive in town, she wants me gone. But one look at her curves, and I’m not going anywhere. 
She puts on this tough woman act, but underneath there’s a little girl that needs looking after. She’s had enough hurt to last a lifetime, and now I’m here to heal her wounds.


But can I convince her to choose love, or will the past drag her down?

Lou is book eleven 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 men who love them.

Always with a happily ever after. Each book in the series is a standalone. No cliffhangers.

I really enjoyed Lou and Colt's love story. Lou is struggling to keep it together, running her father's slowly failing diner and raising her teenage sister. So when Colt rolls into town with his food truck, selling ribs and stealing all her customers, Lou is livid! Colt is captivated, and recognizes the pain she's feeling. A food challenge leads to an emotional breakthrough, which leads to understanding, which finally leads to love. But Lou still has to let go of her past, and Colt has to decide if she's worth the extra effort. This is instalove, so of course Colt makes the right decision! A short read, but fun and sexy. Well worth your time and energy. Happy Reading!!

So Lou is the oldest of two and they’re a in dire need of an overhaul at home, heart and the diner her father left them. She has served the same menu as her father not wavering and he has passed three years ago. They are over their heads in debt but she is the only one who knows it. So when then are few customers during the lunch rush but eyes people walking by with a take out box she is curious. The is a food truck in town and taking her business. Or what’s left of it. Colt is making money traveling selling (gasp) ribs. They indeed out taste her dad’s famous ribs. Now the war is on. Getting him to leave her town while he’s wanting to know her. A Rib off it is! Tasty ending

Lou is hot and bothered by the competition or is she just hot for Colt. Flirty, fun read where the food is tasty and finger licking good, but will it all come to an end when the pop up kitchen leaves for the next town. Lou challenges Colt to a cook off, winner takes all, but will this be the end of a possible romance or the budding of a new venture.

Lou is avery well written, interesting and entertaining Book 11 in the Curvy Girls Can Series that is sensitive and suspenseful guaranteed to tug on your heart.

These characters a re very well constructed with a good chemistry This book is well thought out and the drama and ups and downs make it quite the page turner.

How could I not love a strong woman holding down the fort after her Father died and taking care of her rebellious sister! I couldn't get enough of this sassy woman, who needed a break and someone to be there to care for her at once. She wasn't sure the competition, ring slinging food truck runner, Colt was that man. But he had no problem showing her. There were bumps in the road, but i loved the way it ended!

Competition

Lou is trying to save the struggling diner her father started but she runs into trouble when a new food truck selling ribs comes to town with hottie Colt at the helm. These two are at odds but find themselves attracted to each other. Colt is just the change that Lou needs in this sweet tale.

Another short and steamy instalove hit for this author. As usual I could not put the book down until the last page.

I didn't connect with the H at all. I also hated how he called the h "little girl." Then the one sex scene was so unimpressive, it was like the author phoned it in. It was completely unsexy and lackluster.

Ribs

She has a diner and he has a food truck. The attraction is there . They have a cook off which he wins. She upset that he was from the mc club her mother left them for. They finally talk and all things are good.

Quick read

Colt and lou are my favourite couple. Lou is grief stricken in this book, and Colt supports her and helps her through it. I am glad that her was there to offer her the support she needed.

A little competition leads to so much more when Lou and Colt meet. Even if she tries to deny, you can see their chemistry coming off the pages. This was fun and flirty and I liked their banter.

Family

Colt knows looking at the fire in Lou's eyes that he wants to get to know her. She's mad at him and he's determined to figured out why.
