I loved this book nd like previous post the back of the book didn't fit with the second half.
The second story didn't match up, regardless it was a good read, finished the first story in one day, the other in a few hours, due to the short chapters.
I loved "Who Ya Wit" , it kind of reminded me of some of the drama going on with my boyfriend nd the way Roc acts lmao yea they r so a like.. But I don't have any kids lol, nd I'm only 18. But the lifestyle match ups ...more

“Full Figured: Plus Size Divas” is what appears to be the first of a series of books in which the heroines are full-figured women. For that, I am hopeful and appreciative as too many books today aren’t practical as the average American woman is a size 12, but according to some reports now a 14. So with the first of more to come, Carl Weber went with two authors with resumes guaranteed to bring the drama.

The protagonist in Who Ya Wit was completely delusional. She kept declaring what a strong and independent woman she was yet was manipulated time and time again by Roc and made it clear that she was dependent on her ex for cash. Desa Rae Jenkins, you are awful.
Seven Year Itch was the better of the two stories. Etienne Chanel was a hardworking 'diva' and I really did want her to succeed in her work. Co-workers as hell.

I really enjoyed this book especially Who Ya Wit. It was off the hook. Because it let you imagine how a full figured woman with age can hook up with someone young. With energy and bring back the youth in you. I wish it was a sequel to this book. Brenda Hampton has it going on her writing.

Carl Weber is an awesome author and this book Carl Weber Presents is an accurate representation of his knowledge of good, attention-getting writing in a writer! The authors in this particular book are Brenda Hampton (Naughty series) and LaJill Hunt (Around the Way Girls series) and these two women are totally awesome writers!!!!!!!! Brenda and LaJill write a novella a piece designed around full figured women being the heros (aren't they supposed to be?)and these stories keep your attention fro...more
Brenda Hamptons story was AWESOME! Ran out and found part TWO!!!!
Thoroughly enjoyable stories.
I loved the first half of this book, but for some reason the last half of the description did not match what was in the story, or either i had a different edition in which case the book is 309 pages ...not 200, but i liked it anyway.
Took me longer then I should have to read a book. But it was because I was busy. However, I liked the first story better then the second one.
Great stories.............
