She's plump and he's afraid of turning into his father...

Henry is a kind man with a real fear of turning into a tyrant like his father. He overindulges his youinger brother (who he is basically raising) and avoids marriage.

Isabelle is plump with plenty of ample curves and all the hurts that go along with being large. She does however, stand up to bulies when a man is hitting his wife at Henry's house party.

There's a hot air baloon, a death and a sweet unexpected romance between the perfectly matched Henry and Isabelle.
Recommend.

The 3rd book in the series deals alot with self image. For girls, if they are shamed by their plus size as young girls it carries through their lives impacting relationships in all aspects. Bravo to this author who has written a book that addresses this topic and includes others with the foresight to see past the expectations, into the true person inside. Well written, moves at a reasonable pace and includes enough growth for all characters to find a hea.

A story about a strong willed woman and a man and his brothers who have had to fight for their lives since they lost their home and father. The characters are well developed. The plot is interesting.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and am leaving a review by my own accord.

Somewhat melodramatic. I found the heroine engaging, but the hero a little stiff. The villain was way over the top. Suspension of belief just left after that.

i've always loved cookbooks that include pictures. or maybe you remember those huge books about science and nature and such that had lots of step-by-step pictures about how to make things. this is one of those books, but for adults. famed cuisine expert anne willan does an informative tutorial on making all kinds of breads (although i don't know if it's her or a hand model in the photographs). the breads look fun to make and tasty, although i can't speak for the wheat bread i made because i left it in the oven four hours too long (long story). i'll have to get it from the library again and try once more.
