Raw and Curvy

by S.E. Law

I love to paint, but one day the most embarrassing thing happens. Somehow, my personal lube got into my bucket of paints, and I accidentally squirt a huge dollop on the handsome man next to me! He turns to me with fury in those blue eyes … until he sees my generous curves. I take figure painting classes for the wrong reasons – because I like the lush models, and not because I actually want to improve my artistic abilities. But when the sassy woman next to me squirts me in the face with a tube full of lubricant, suddenly I know that Mimi’s days as an artist are done. Instead, she’ll be showing me the how that jelly got into her tool box … and we’re not stopping until she’s got my baby in her belly! Was art class ever this fun? Mimi’s always been a risk-taker, but an innocent mistake gets her into hot water! Good thing Mason’s willing to forgive, so long as she shows him exactly how she’s going to make up for her boo-boos. Follow the sassy girl in this scandalous tale of the art world gone awry and be sure to bring a tall glass of iced tea because the thermometer’s on HOT! This is a follow-up to Partner in Crime, but all my books are standalones and do not need to be read in any order. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and always a HEA for my readers.

I love how S.E. Law keeps us enthralled with her Forbidden Romance series!

The main characters Mimi and Mason are enamoured with each other from the first slip of her Cocoslick bottle in art class to their inevitable coffee date!

Which leads them to unbridled debauchery where the sexy dark alpha billionaire can't keep his hands off the lucious curvy sexy ex showgirl and artist!

Lots of steamy encounters leads to Mimi putting on more weight for another reason!
Will Mason be thrilled or appalled?

You'll love Mimi and Mason's story. It's a fun romance with begins with a little mishap. Nothing like getting your lube intertwined with your art class paints. She's a curvy gal who's had her share of body shaming and is trying to build up her confidence by taking an art class. Who would have thought that a glob of lube splattered on the man next to her in art class would change her life. The chemistry between the two is hot. The story is even hotter. The characters are great and this is one story you don't want to miss. I read an arc copy via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

Mimi was a showgirl at the Wilshire hotel until the mean new manager humiliated her in front of everyone. She was let go because she had gained too much weight in the manager's eyes. Mimi was at a loss of what to do when she was fired. She was so upset that she couldn't sleep until she release some sexual tension. The next morning she was still upset so since er favorite activity was painting she decided to go to a painting class. A gorgeous guy sets up at the easel next to hers distracting her. When she reaches into her bag to get a tube of paint, she has problem getting any out until she uses more force. Unfortunately the contents of the tube hit the sexy guy in the face and it wasn't paint. Mimi was horrified but Mason was a good sport. He forgives her for the mess if she goes out with him. Sparks fly between the two.

Mason is a successful businessman in town for a conference. The conference is so boring he plays hooky and goes to an art class instead. He really enjoys painting curvy models. He is lucky enough to set up next to a curvy artist who is perfect in his taste. He is curious about her brave and adventurous ways so he asks her out. Finding out she is at loose ends after losing her job, he offers to support her in return for fun and sexy times together.

This was a fun and sexy book. I received a copy of this story and this is my honest review.

Mimi is trying to find a way to enjoy her days since she doesn't have a job right now. So she joins a painting class so she'll have a reason to get out of bed. Mason was looking for an escape from a boring work function and ended up at the painting class also. When Mimi went for some paint in her bag she mistakenly grabbed lube instead and squirted it right into Mason's face by accident. Mortified she tries to help him before getting back to her painting. However Mason can't forget what's happened and wants to know why she would have lube in her painting bag. After class he asks her out for coffee and she goes with him because she feels bad about what had happened. Its not long before they start seeing each other. When Mimi learns that she is pregnant she worries how Mason will take it. Will Mason end thing between them? Can this make things even more serious between them?

This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

A Squeeze Of Love -
When Mimi decided to attend the painting class, she was only looking to make herself feel better after losing her job. However, what she actually got was a life changing encounter after an embarrassing mishap. Mason was looking to brighten his day after escaping a boring event, but fate had something more meaningful in mind for him. Their meeting may have been accidental, but both of them soon realised they actually needed each other. Their journey to a happily ever after may have encountered a few bumps, but being together, made them stronger to overcome those obstacles.

This was a really great read with interesting characters. I was really happy with the way the people close to Mimi, continuously tried to change her mindset positively about her curves. The story will draw you in at the beginning and keep you engrossed all the way to the end. I am happy to recommend this amazing book for your reading pleasure.

I received an advanced copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

A great read. Mimi who worked as a preformer in a hotel chain is fired for being to 'fat'. She is devastated and end up trying keep from being bored whie unemployed by going painted. There, she meets Mason, after squirting him with lube that she had accidentally put in her paint bag. This story was very steamy, like all of the author's reads, had a good story line that flowed very well, characters that I really liked, and talked about bigger girls, and how they get fat shamed a lot. I really appreciated how the author mentioned and based the events of this story on an on-going problem that we have today and how people need to grow up and live in the world today where beauty or looks do not matter in today's world. I can't wait to read about Leslie's story next. I am so excited. I would definitely recommend this book to any reader who loves steamy stories. I received a review copy of this story from the author and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

The 30th installment to The Forbidden Fantasies Series is just as delicious as the first!

Congratulations yet again to S.E. Law, for another terrific release.

Inside S.E.'s latest, we get to follow along as Michelle, aka Mimi, and Mason find their way to their happily ever after together. Trust that it is not an easy road. Mimi finds herself jobless after being shamed in a horrific way, however, meeting Mason changes everything and things are starting to look up. Mason is a very successful business man that knows what he does and doesn't want. Mimi's heart doesn't stand a chance in this exquisitely written romance. Beautifully done.

I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy of Raw and Curvy in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion and I highly recommend reading anything published by S.E. Law (always).

I loved this story. I couldn't put it down. I loved the interactions between Mimi and Mason. Mimi has been a showgirl for years but has recently gain some weight. When she loses her job, she doesn't know what she is going to do. She signs up for an art class and accidentally squirts the painter next to her. She is embarrassed when she discovers it is lube instead of paint. Mason is at a conference when he signs up for the class because he was bored at the conference. Mason is enchanted by Mimi. They start seeing each other. When she discovers she is pregnant, how will Mason handle the news?

I received an ARC from the author/publisher for an honest review.

Mason and Mimi meet when sex lube squirts.

Another amazing story from our S. E. Law. Mason and Mimi are bored and decide that a painting class would be a great way to fight said boredom. Mimi is set up and already getting her supplies ready. That's when Mason enters the room. With so few easels open, he takes the one right beside her. He's minding his own business when he gets squirted by something. Mimi is shocked noticing it wasn't paint but her sex lube. And there it is, what to do? You know it's read the book time for you.

Mimi was a dancer and her boss body shamed her in front of everyone and her new replacement was waiting unseen. Mimi didn't know what to do and how she was going to pay her bills. She meets Mason and everything changes for her, but she does have up and downs but Mason is right there defending her. A beautiful written story on curvy large women and Mimi gets her HEA.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC.

[Shannon Cameron · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really loved the body positivity in this story. It really hammers home that women come in all shapes and sizes. What’s awesome is that her curves are not only lusted after but celebrated as a showgirl and then as a model.

I received this book as an ARC copy and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

So embarressing and funny Then it gets really hot. What a thing for her to do. She hadt a hot job but had problems at it with her boss. She accidently got the stuff she shot into his face in her painting box. Her gets mad at first but does a complete turn around and wants her and much more. So exciting, emotional, surprising and more. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
