Grace

I need a place to lay low, get my head together, and sort out what the hell I’m doing with my life. Gran’s old cottage is the perfect hideaway until the builder turns up to renovate the place.
 He’s destroying my peace, and not just with the constant noise. His chiseled chest and bulging biceps are a distraction.

But maybe he’s just the distraction I need. 



Jesse

I’ve got the perfect plot of land, and I’ve got plans for my own place. The only thing I’m missing is someone to share it with. 

When I get knocked off my ladder and into the bushes by a girl wearing nothing but a t-shirt and underwear, I think I’ve found the answer to my problems.


But how do I convince a city girl looking for her purpose in life that she’s just found it, and it’s me?

Grace is book twelve 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.

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

58 pages, Kindle Edition

An exciting, short, and engaging page turner and final book (12) in the Curvy Girls Can series! The storyline is funny, witty, fast pace, emotionally deep, well written, and relatable. Likeable; the chemistry between them is instant and amazing. Definitely recommended.

Sometimes plotting mothers do know best

Grace is the thirteenth book in the Curvy Girls Can series and this one is as sweet and delicious as cotton candy. Grace is twenty-four and was made redundant a couple of months ago from her admin assistant job. Since then she has not known what to do. Her mother suggested that she take a couple of weeks and go to her late grandmother's cabin in a small town. Well it seems that her mother has got a very big surprise for her in the form of one big, handsome and very sexy man. Jesse was hired by Grace's mother to renovate the house before she moved in permanently. But not mentioning this to Grace finds her opening up the upstairs bedroom curtain the morning after she arrived to find a man on a ladder with a hammer in his hands. Let's just say that the initial meeting between Grace and Jesse is both funny and more than eventful. Jesse and Grace get to know each other over the next week or so as he is there every day and even though Grace may be upset initially, as her peace and quiet is about to be upended, Jesse is more than enamored with her. He works to not only help her but also to get a rise out of her, as it is better if she is upset with him than if she doesn't talk to hm at all.

This is a sweet and fun short story with a couple wonderful characters. The story-line is quick and entertaining and there is a lovely HEA and epilogue at the end. This book is a nice addition to the series.

What an amazing meet cute! Grace is taking some time to figure out her life. She's gone to her Grandma's cabin, not realizing that her mother is having it renovated. Jesse shows up to start work renovating a cabin for it's new occupant, only to be startled off a ladder by a face at the window. What a first meeting!! Grace is sweet, a little lost, and creative. Jesse is captivated, and anxious to learn more about this unexpected beauty. I loved how Jesse truly sought to help Grace, finding avenues for her to explore. I loved that Grace, when she found out that her mother was matchmaking, worried that Jesse would feel she was scheming. This is a sweet romance, fast, fun, and sexy, Happy Reading!!!

A very well written, interesting and entertaining Book 12 in the Curvy Girls Can Series which is sensitive and suspenseful guaranteed to entertain. It has bold characters; with explosive chemistry between them with a good scenes and story. These characters are very well constructed with a good romance. This book is well thought out with some drama that makes it quite the page turner.

Grace and Jesse will draw you in and have you glued to the pages of their endearing story. When Grace's mother suggest that she goes to the cottage for some R&R, she never expected the hulk of a on a ladder when she opens the curtains. Jesse is captivated with Grace as well. Will his antics leads t him getting his girl and a happily ever after? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honset review.

I really like when the heroine is really curvy and wears from size 12 to 16...not when they say curvy girl and she wears a size 2...that's a skinny no legs and no ass or hips girl. The story is endearing and steamy and very well written.

Book 12 has Grace meeting Jesse. She goes to her grandmas cabin to figure out the next phase in her life, what she didn’t know was it was being remodeled by Jesse. They have an immediate attraction and when Jesse finally gets her to agree to date him. He finds a note and her gone. This is the last book in the series and I was sorry to see the series end.

Grace and Jesse meet unexpectedly and that first meeting sets up their relationship. It's funny and sweet and the back and forth between them had me smiling and laughing. There are some sexy moments too. It's just an all around feel-good story perfect for relaxing and escaping for an hour.

Another quickie

I liked that this book had a funny introduction to the characters. I am also happy that Jesse was able to support grace without her even realising it. They make a good couple.
