While this book was written several years ago, it did have a somewhat timeless quality, in so much as I was able to easily identify and connect with the characters. That being said, the book wasn't that great.

Rafe felt so condescending toward his younger half brother, acting as if he didn't have a brain at all! I hated how domineering he was, even toward Molly!

I have to applaud Molly though, I really liked how she was trying so hard to no longer be a doormat or person to be used. I found it very easy to identify and connect with her, as it seemed like she was a lot like myself.

This was a very short and quick read, but I found it largely unsatisfying. The ending was abrupt and made little sense to me. The whole situation felt very contrived. I'm glad I got this on sale, because I'm going to wind up deleting it from my Kindle library!

I really enjoyed this book! A reader recommended it, and I thought it was a short and delightful read. Although it’s very noticeable this was written quite some time ago, so there’s more “telling” and not “showing”, but the writing is so good, it flows seamlessly. Loved the plus size heroine, she’s very real and relatable. The hero was not a typical alpha male, way too caring and attentive. He asked several times what was the matter when the heroine was upset and offered a friendly ear. And he cooked!! The whole book, he cooked. Anyway, lovely, easy, delightful read!

More to love review

Ehh... this was a decent book. I mean it was published in 2001 so I was expecting a lot. What irked me was rafe's treatment of his brother. He was kinda a jerk to him, like a lot. But for a book published 16 years ago it was decent enough.

This was the first BBW book, I ever read it was good. Very realistic. I had also enjoyed the author's many other books before.

So far the book is OK, but not great. And I'm really getting tired of the "My Mercy"s. The protagonist just really isn't doing it for me. I'll finish it, because I hate leaving books unfinished, but I'm not involved with the characters at this point.

**Update** I decided to stop reading it. There are so many wonderful stories out there to read, that I didn't want to invest any more time into a story that felt lacking.

[Kami · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was awful! I would say 90% of the book is inner monologue of the 2 MC's. Instead of having actual conversations, the author writes of how they talked about this and that, and they are thinking this and that, and plan to do this and that. The only remotely humorous thing in this book was the birds. I did not find any of the characters likeable. I had to force myself to actually finish this book.

I am so glad I bought this book. Molly was a good heroine and I liked that she's plus size, it's not often that you see that. I also liked that she didn't constantly complain about it either. Rafe was a good hero, I could really see that he and Molly had a lot in common since they both had to basically raise their younger siblings. I thought the end was perfect and not too overdone. It was really believable. I'll definitely be reading more by this author.

I keep reading these stereotypical romance reads because they have chubby heroines but I find them pretty meh overall. Had the insecurity and vulnerability that I like, but that was pretty much it. (2.5 stars)

[Eva · Rating 3 out of 5]

There was something very endearing about Dixie. I appreciate a character who has a real job instead of a fantasy life. Rafe seemed less real to me, but then again, isn't that what we're looking for?
