Rate this book
**Synopsis**

O’niyah Underwood is a twenty-five-year-old plus-size, diner waitress by night and a caretaker to her wheelchair bound grandfather by day, along with being an online college student. She never complains, it’s the hand that was dealt to her, so she simply gets in, where she fit in. That was until Neville ‘Reaper’ Farrow crashed into her life, giving her a loud wakeup call.
Neville Farrow is the product of a murdered father and a drug addicted, overdosed mother, that led to him being an angry, uncontrollable, ward of the state. He was written off as a lost cause, until he was adopted, that’s when his true life’s purpose was revealed. Never knowing true love from the opposite sex, his interaction with the beautiful O’niyah sparked something anew within him.
Everyone isn’t happy about their connection. Will it be their downfall, or will they grow stronger as one?
Falon Bluffaton is a twenty-five-year-old plus size dental assistant. She’s left to fend for herself after the death of her older brother. She has learned to depend on only herself. With O’niyah as her best friend, she’s content with the life that she has built for herself. Until she meets Kendrinch Farrow and realize that something has been missing in her world.
Kendrinch Farrow is a quiet man who’s accustomed to the simple things in life, despite being adopted into money. After a heartbreak that he didn’t think he would recover from, he opens his heart and gets more than he bargained for. As their lives begins to settle as one, a blast from his past reveals a secret to him they may cause him to lose the best thing to ever happen to him.
When a BBW Captures the Heart of a Real One, there’s nothing else that matters. Leap into the tantalizing pages of this standalone, to find out what goes down when the heart of a real one is captured by a BBW.

To know me is to love me. My identity begins with my name but makes a statement with my pen. I'm a mother of two and a wife of one. My love for writing began at the age of two. That's right I first wrote my name at the age of two and I've been writing ever since. Growing up I always felt invisible. I suffered from that 'Middle Child Syndrome', so when my voice wasn't heard, I made my own story.
My journal and my pen became my companion. I would write stories where my characters looked like me (thick, tall, and pretty), they loved to read, was educated, and realistic. The older I got the more my imagination grew, which caused my stories to be more diverse.
Becoming an author came about in an unintentional way. I've been through many things in my adult life. My husband, who's my backbone, has always admired my strength. We suffered a devastating loss, our daughter. My husband urged me to tell my story, to be a light for someone else. I took him up on his advice and wrote my pains and truths.
I love weaving stories, touching readers with relatable characters and situations. I give life lessons, unconditional love, dedication, a little crazy, and a whole lot of truth. I have a saying that I live by; 'I don't just write books;I tell stories'.

That BBW love is real...

Whew, this was another action-packed book. It was more than enough going on between the two couples. The person that irked my nerves the most was Titieyanna. She needed to keep all of her bottled anger that she harbored over the years to herself. Or take it out on her father because the way she treated and tried to get rid of O'niyah was sickening. You would have thought they weren't blood sisters. However, I do have to say I love the story of the brothers and how they became a family. Family doesn't have to be blood, it is the people in your life that you are the closest to. With the relationship, Neville and Kendrinch had you would never guess they were adopted, brothers. You could tell by the few scenes their parents had that they were proud of their sons all four of them.

I thought it was ironic that Kendrinch dating preference was BBW whereas Neville's was not. Once Neville laid eyes on O'niyah he knew she was his "one." He staked his claim and stuck his claw in. He made sure everyone knew and no other man tried to wedge their way in. His love for O'niyah was unmatched. O'niyah changed from dating Neville. She built her self-confidence and did a 180. She came out of her shell and had no filter. I loved the willpower that Falon and O'niyah had to become a success. They both were making sacrifices to fulfill their dreams. Falon was living below her means in the hood while taking classes. O'niyah was working the third shift, taking care of PawPaw, and taking classes. She was also working on her skincare line. It is always refreshing to read about women making boss moves. Falon and O'niyah were just as crazy and deeply in love with the Farrow men as they were them. Their love and actions matched their significant others.

This is a magnificent read with more than enough going on with two brothers and their relationships. You will enjoy it though especially after meeting PawPaw. He was O'niyah's saving grace and the only parental figure in her life. You will also love Falon's personality she did not play about O'niyah and didn't mind regulating. Kendrinch realized quickly that she was a different "breed" than any other woman he ever dated. Speaking of Kendrinch I think it was quite dirty of Amber to do him as she did. A blessing came about but it was still wrong. Get into this BBW story you will be highly intrigued.

I really enjoyed this read, although the spelling and grammatical errors were numerous. O'niyah and Falon, had a bond that was solid, and they would do anything for the other. O'niyah a bit shy, due to her upbringing and constant bullying by her step-sister, but had a heart of gold. Falon, was a spitfire! She was on constant go mode, and anybody could get it! Meeting the Farrow brothers (Nelly and Ken), shook up their world! They genuinely cared for the ladies, protected them and most of all loved them, in a way they never experienced before. Falon and Ken really stole the show, as they were hilarious together! The lengths that O'niyah's donor and step-sister went through to make her life hell, for his shortcomings was just ughhhhh.......! But, I'm glad that karma came for them! Good read.

Good Read!

This book was indeed a page turner. I stayed in-tuned from beginning to end. O’niyah had been through a lot with witnessing her mom murdered, her Paw Paw being in by a car and paralyzed, her father being just as a sperm donor and a liar who never did anything for her and a twisted half sister who had a serious fixation with making her life a living hell…she did however have a ride or die best friend, a Paw Paw who loves her and a strong will. Nevelle and Kendrick came into Fallon and O’niyah’s life loved them to life not only did they give them their heart but they also became apart of their family. Tittieyanna the half sister was beyond evil and jealous and would stop at nothing to hurt O’niyah with her father’s help. This book was good from beginning to end. Cop it and you won’t be disappointed!!

Them Farrow men...when

I really enjoyed this book and if it wasn't so good I would have given it a lower rating because of all of the spelling and grammatical errors. I also didn't like the descriptions when describing O'Niyah and Fallon. All big girls do not have large sagging breast and dents and rolls. Also O was 5'9" so she was holding her weight good being in a size 22. I loved the relationships between O and Nevill. He was just what she needed. But I really loved Fallon and Ken... They have that crazy love. O's sister is a deranged, evil, spoiled little girl that needs to grow up and know that not every man wants her. Overall great book, but should have been proofread before it came out.

Now this actually doesn’t deserve a 5 star but because it’s MS. Sumter one of my fav author and also the base of the story was wonderful it’s getting the highest score that’s allowed!!!!!

So this actually doesn’t deserve the 5 star, but because this is MS. Sumter(one of my top fav author) and also the gist or base of the story is very good.
I thought that O’Niya was too childish and came somewhat as being boring while Falinde was just too much. The guys though were perfect with Neville being the top and Kendrinch (didn’t really like him) riding second.
In any case this story was so in line with the reality of how BBW gets viewed and how they must actually grow a thick skin because they will be eaten alive out there. Much respect!!!!
Hope to read MS. Sumter very soon!!!

This story was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I liked the characters. I wish there had been more of a build-up to a relationship between Neville and O'niyah. They did have a pretty good connection though, which was good. I loved Falon and Ken. They were so funny and definitely meant for each other. Now, I don't typically make mention of grammar and spelling issues, but this book had quite a few. Those issues interfered with the flow of the book. However, I think the author did a good job overall.

Really nice read

As always I live this author because of how real the characters personalities are. You can definitely meet two friends totally opposite of each but get along so well that you never see one without the other. That is definitely Fal and O'Niyah and the way the hooked up with two brothers definitely brings things to more or a reality. The errors were definitely bad and weird all around but I don't think it took away from anything. The storyline was really good, I loved the funny parts but also the loving and sweet parts. Nelly and

Neville🔥🔥🔥

This was a really good book. I love the storyline. Yes there was grammatical errors, but I didn’t allow it to take away from the story. There was laughter, tears, and drama. Being a plus size woman can be so hard. Mang people can be so shallow. I loved the ladies bond. Fallon was a true friend to O’niyah. She had her back and continuously spoke life into her. I loved the guys for them. They made people respect their women. I’m glad Titi and her daddy got what they deserved.

Good Stuff!

This was such a fun and entertaining story,right from the start. The writer gives us two women who are starting to know there worth and that's when the fun starts. The chemistry is just spot on between the characters, that it comes off naturally. We get some well rounded adults who have experienced some serious moments in their lives and have risen above it. This was good writing ,with a well thought out storyline. I can't give it five stars because the editing is poor.

My favorite read of 2022!!!!!

This standalone was like watching a movie!!
Those Farrow men showed up and showed out. Loved the family dynamics. O’Niyah was deserving of everything she received. Paw Paw was hilarious. Falcons loyalty and love for O and Kendrick was a beautiful thing. No words for the Boyles except God don’t like ugly and Karma came a calling. Kendra didn’t disspoint…headed to hit her catalog again, yes again. Her writing just hits differently!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

3.75 good read

This was a good read, and the pace of what we expect from KS. I will saybi loved me so Fallon and Ken. They made the story for me.
While I enjoyed the journey or O and Nelly it was lacking chemistry to me. They gave me ok vibes. I was so happy that the sister and dad had an ending. The editing needed a bit more improvement but I will be continuing to read all of KS works.

Wow I Loved it!

This book was a great read, this is the first time reading this Author and I was not disappointed! This read show's how true love can overcome anything, hating ass bitches too! Family ain't always loyal! Neville loved O'niyah and she Bossed herself up for herself and her King! Falon is a true definition of Bestie, she and Ken are definitely made for each other! Good Read

Drama!!

A BBW captured the heart of a real one....O'niyah had the devil coming at her at all angles but having a great friend like Falon and her Paw Paw she was able to keep her head above water. Her evil sister continued to plague her life until a Real One named Neville stepped in. This book takes you on a emotional journey where jealousy and envy seem to reign supreme. however good always outweighs the bad. You can never keep a good woman down!! Good read. Brava!

Loved it

Titieyanna character was just doing the most but you saw the mental illness. It definitely ran in the family but her father really brought it out. O and Fal are the best. Everyone needs a friend like Fal. It was nice to see O boss up and find herself before truly finding her love with Neville. The Farrows are great characters and it would be nice to read more about them.

Urban drama

If you love urban romance then this is one to read. Falon is the truth of besties. Niyah is lucky to have her in her corner. The Farrow boys are something else. Ms Titie is a nutcracker....obsessed much! Story had some laughs and heartwarming moments and some incredulous parts too...smh.

BBW

I love reading your books about strong BBW because it takes alot to be a big girl. Society makes it to where your suppose to be a buck O five. I loved it even more when they find guys that look past there size. As always you have the jealous in ones who weight nothing that a always cause problems. This was a good read I don't know who was the Funniest Fal or paw paw.

💕💕💕 Phenomenal

Kendra did that. I loved this book from beginning to the end. This Farrow men love their women
. Titi was a bitter soul. The hate she had for sister was so pathetic. Falon and O’ Niyah were more than best friends they were sisters love their friendship. PawPaw just wanted his Pumpkin happy and to live her life and not worry about him.

I loved the way the Farrow men loved and cherished their women in this stand alone. It gives a true insight on how women, who aren't stick figures are treated. I love how Falon and O’niyah loved an embraces their size. Overall this was a great read, I loved every part of it ❤

Amazing

Your talent never cease to amaze me. This story had so much action in it. A lot of crazy, but a lot of fun.

It crazy how someone can be so delusional to the point of pure hate. Trey, Titieyanna and some others, got what they deserved.

O'Niyah and Fallon are my girls and the guys that captured their hearts are certified real ones. Magnificent!

God don't like Ugly!

This book was great! Society would have you believe that BBW's are only fetishes, but thats a damn lie! Just like any other sized women they deserve love understandinh and compassion, I'm glad Fallon and O'niyah found that in Kendrich and Neville. Wish there was more on the other two brothers!
