What do you do when ReadMeRomance gives you an opportunity to have one of your stories featured on their podcast? Well, if you’re Kameron Claire, you create a badass, body-positive character that every woman can relate to, pair her with a Greek God of a hero who also happens to have a heart of gold, and you create one of those opposites attract stories with so much sizzle that you have one hand clutching your Kindle and the other fanning the blush from your cheeks! “Sitting Pretty” is that tale — with all the pearl clutchers, lip biters, and heart tuggers that Claire can pack into a novella. Aila is a QUEEN — a smart businesswoman, a gorgeous plus-size model, and a powerhouse in every way. Lucas is a hardworking personal trainer with washboard abs, a wicked smile, and eyes only for Aila. This man is as sweet as he is panty-melting, y’all! A fun, steamy, feels-inducing story to read and listen to. So stinkin’ excited for Kameron Claire!

I Still Hate Gyms 😎

Lucas is a personal trainer for wealthy women. A little extra special attention here and there, maybe a date, gains him larger tips and a commission if he can sign the single ladies up for a private lesson. But he is not happy with that game plan anymore.

When Aila, a confident plus-size woman who runs her own online business, comes into the gym on a 3-day pass, Lucas knows immediately she is the one for him. Will she believe him? Will she accept his request for a dinner date? Will she give him a chance to start a real relationship with her?

I really find it uncomfortable to feel the “us vs them” vibe from a book like this. So many assumptions are unjustly made and both sides are often guilty. People are unique individuals, not to be painted with a one-size-fits-all brush. Getting to know each other is the best part of a relationship of any kind, friends or more. No one needs to hurt others because they don’t fit the cookie mold. Learning about our differences is what make each of us fun and intriguing.

Hot, steamy with a twist a fun and sass makes Sitting Pretty the perfect story to get lost in as you Lucas has you melting in your seat.

Lucas is a trainer at the gym, known during school as "Hustler" since he did everything, he could needing to take care of his mother and sister since the age of fourteen. Now older he ''helped" the women her trained and they helped him, but he wants something more, something real, some one that could be his.

Aila is big confident woman and is proud of the business she built. New to town she was looking for a place to work out. Comfortable with her body, she soon felt the look and heard the comment from the others, making her question why Lucas was talking to her.

Great fast read, with a strong woman, and a caring man together they are explosive and makes your heart melt.

Lucas is a personal trainer for rich women and when he does extra things, he gets better tips. One day he is getting ready for a client when he sees a woman that catches his attention. Aila is in the gym on a three-day pass when she meets Lucas. Lucas starts hitting on her and she thinks its to get her to sign up to the gym. However, Lucas is persistent and walks her out to get her number and a date. He knows that he knows her somehow but isn't sure how. When they go out he wants to be upfront and explains how he used to make extra money at the gym but that he doesn't do it anymore. Aila is surprised by what he says and agrees to continue their date. Will they both find what they are looking for with each other?

This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

This is a short novella, fast and steamy with Aila, a BBW who knows what she wants and goes for it. Loved her character! I love a story with a strong woman who is not afraid to take what she wants and Aila is that. As for Lucas he works at a luxury fitness resort getting rich older women in shape for whatever. And he is not afraid to do what needs to be done to get extra dollars in tips but it finally donned on him that he did not want that kind of life. The minute he sees Aila he knows she is the one but what will she think of him when she finds out about his past. I really liked this story, even though in the beginning I thought, ewww Lucas is a manwhore, yuk, but I ended up really liking him and Aila. This is a really good story and I really enjoyed it.

Lucas has a degree in kinesiology. Until he can get a better job, he is working at a luxury fitness center. He has lots of women clients falling all over him and it gets him better tips when he flirts or even dates the single clients. However, he has grown tired of it all. He sees Aila on the treadmill and is immediately attracted to her.

Aila is a plus size woman who runs her own plus size business. She is new to town and had a free 3 day pass to the center. After the looks and whispers from the skinny trophy wives, Aila knows this fitness center is not for her.

Will Aila go out with Lucas when he asks her for a date? Do they have genuine feelings for each other? And what does “sitting pretty” really mean?.

Working out

Sitting Pretty is an OTT, quirky and fun insta-love story with bit of a twist at the beginning. Aila is a curvy woman who loves herself and runs a successful business helping other curvy women to do the same. Lucas graduated with a Kinesiology degree and has been working for the last two years as a personal trainer at a luxury fitness resort. Aila has moved to the area recently and is trying out the facilities on a week pass when Lucas spots her. She is exactly what he desires, her full curvy body. But Lucas has a been doing some other things with his personal training clients that is a lot more personal. It has helped him pay off his student loans and support his mother and sister. But will his past put a stop to this couple even before the start?

4.5 stars. Lucas, the male lead, is a personal trainer for rich people. When Aila, the female lead, trials the gym he works at, he immediately approaches her but she knocks him back. He pursues her because his attraction is genuine, and they find points of interest.

This short story is dual POV, well written and edited, and I LOVED the title when the context was provided - I adore inside jokes within a relationship. I enjoyed Lucas’ gentle pursuit as well as Aila’s self-confidence and her determination to ensure that Lucas was genuine. The intimate scenes were sexy and erotic and I enjoyed them. A lovely, low angst, sexy read.

This book focuses on Lucas and Aila. Lucas has been a personal trainer at a luxury fitness resort that caters to the rich for the last 2 years and has done some interesting things to earn more money to help pay for his family’s bills. When he sees Aila working out at the gym, he is instantly drawn to her and tries to get her to give him a chance. He knows pretty quickly that she is the one for him. I love that Lucas is determined to make Aila his forever and doesn’t shy away from his past. He is upfront and honest with her, which makes her fall for him even more. They were absolutely perfect together! This was a great story!

Aila goes to the gym that she had a trial membership for. She knows she is on the bigger size then some of the woman in there but she doesn't care. While there she noticed the trainer checking her out.She sees he's occupied by the older woman flirting. When she's done she goes to the locker room.
Lucas hands the woman he's training to someone and goes to meet the beauty he saw go in the locker room. He introduces himself to her and asks if she wanted to get to know each other over dinner or just drink ks. She agrees they met up later and that started their romance. He walked her home, and never left. She wanted him so bad and he for her that they couldn't stay away.

I liked this story a lot. It was entertaining and enjoyable with a couple of exceptions. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. Babs kind of irritated me. Lucas was working at a resort as a personal trainer when he saw a woman that he wanted to get to know better. He had quite the past. She shot him down very quickly but he wasn't going to give up that easily. They were attracted to each other immediately and Lucas was positive that he had seen Aila before. Aila wasn't sure what angle Lucas was working but she was willing to see what he did if she gave him a chance. Aila was an inspiration with her business, blog, and goals. I liked how the story ended. I recommend reading this book.

Lucas is a hustler. He works at a resort filled with divorced older women willing to spend their money on a boy toy. He has become tired of that lifestyle with woman. He see a beautiful curvy goddess. She is not falling for his attempts to hit on her.
Aila is a curvy plus-size fashion model for her online boutique. She is starting to give into the temptation of hunky Lucas.
Quick hot read about a plus-size curvy woman being confident and at ease with herself. She knows what she wants and goes for it. Lucas learns to value himself as a person. Together they are strong together.

He’s all muscle, a personal trainer who’s lean and fit. She’s all luscious curves, a plus-sized beauty, and she’s the most delectable thing he’s ever seen. When Lucas spots Aila, he immediately sets out to win her heart. She may self-confident, but Alia can’t help wondering why a guy who looks like Lucas is interested in a woman who wears and sells plus-size clothes. She’s attracted to him, yes, but Lucas has an uphill battle to wage if he wants to convince her to be his. It doesn’t help that he made a few questionable choices when he graduated from college. It’s a fun, engaging romance.

Finding your forever! This is about Aila and Lucas. He has been a personal trainer but is tired of the women just wanting a piece of him. Now Aila has walked into the gym with a three-day pass, but after a while, she sees this is not for her; Lucas doesn’t want to let her go without getting her number because he thinks he just hit the jackpot of all beautiful women. Aila, of course, is known for her plus size boutique she has, and he realizes who she is and can’t seem to have enough! Can these two make it work?.

Lucas is a personal trainer at the fitness resort, in the beginning hooked up with a client, when she was done with him she passed him on to a friend. While he flirts with the women, it goes no farther than that any more. He is looking for that someone special.

One day he sees her, Aila is there on a three day pass. She is everything he is looking for curvy, confident and smart. Plus she is a YouTube fashion model that inspired his own sister be confident in her looks.

Can Lucas get this sweetie to be his one and only? This is a steamy read, Lucas is just what this girl needed.

This was a great book. Alia and Lucas were awesome together. I enjoyed the connection and chemistry between these two. These two are grown to each other but Lucas us afraid that Alia may not want anything to do with him because of is not so distant past. There isn't much drama in this book and Alia makes Lucas work for her attention and there are a lot of funny moments int his book. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it.

Lucas was working as a personal trainer in a resort for the wealthy, he was constantly hit on by older wealthy woman and used that to his advantage. He was becoming cynical and tired of his lifestyle. As soon as he sees Alia across they gym it is love at first sight. The chemistry between Alia and Lucas was amazing, they were open and honest with each other about their pasts and their needs and desires. Fantastic instalove romance with a lovely HEA.

Kameron Claire's Sitting Pretty is a charming, steamy and sweet instalove romance. Personal trainer Lucas doesn't make the best first impression on body-positive designer Aila, but it isn't long before his persistence (and swoon-worthy charm) gets her to agree to date. But can two total opposites really find something real so quickly? A high-heat, low-drama, engagingly sexy short romance, well worth a read!

Cute read. Aila is just trying to be her best and joins a gym where Lucas is a trainer. His job has come with perks, specifically in the form of older women giving him extra as part of his job. He is getting tired of that life and see's Aila as his new future. From her side, I appreciate that she didn't judge him too badly for his suspect choices in the past. I love his pursuit of her, these two were cute and balanced each other well.

Ok, I don't think I'll ever be able to hear or read those words again without thinking about this book. Another terrific story from my favorite author. I loved loved the chemistry between Alia and Lucas. Her confidence was inspiring to read and the experiences that Lucas had and how it had changed him was also inspiring. This was such a wonderful book and really fun.

This was a fantastic book! I wish there were more men like Lucas in real life! He was so genuine, caring and honest. His said what meant and he meant what he said. More people should be like that! He was absolutely swoon-worthy! Aila was really great as well, initially I didn't like how she made assumptions about Lucas, but didn't think he should do the same... I dislike double standards. She absolutely redeemed herself and I fell in love with them as a couple! This was such a great story!

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is a short, instant love story between Aila and Lucas. He falls hard and fast for her but worries about keeping her. His previous clients might not be worth it so much now. Aila is perfect for him for a reason though. Their story is fast paced and funny with some tension.

When Aila got a 3-day pass to a local gym she decides to go. She meets Lucas a personal trainer and a spark is ignited. I loved how from the moment Lucas sees Aila he falls for her and her curves instantly. This is a short story but it isn't missing a thing, from the likable characters to the great storyline this is an entertaining read. The writing is well done and the story is packed with a bit of drama, instalove, steam, and a happily ever after. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
