About the author

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, I have a long history of reading and writing. Got my first library card at age 3 and have lived in literary lust ever since.

I began writing for publication based on a dare from a high school classmate, and have written and published more than 100 romantic short stories, and twelve full-length novels. JUST TOO EASY (CreateSpace) is my thirteenth and most recent novel.

Though I currently work in wellness/fitness, my goal is to become a successful full time writer.

I have a few mixed feelings for this free story. The writing was good. The concept was good, but the execution… was lacking.

After Lacey lost sixty pounds she feels like she is born again. She becomes more comfortable in her skin and wants to flaunt to the world what she has. But her eyes are also set on one guy in particular. Justin has been her school mate, friend and coworker over the past fifteen years and doesn’t seem to have an interest in Lacey. When in high school, Lacey caught Justin with one of his classmates and followed them to the drama room. She watched them the entire time they made love and Lacey couldn’t take her eyes off them. She wanted Justin after that but she knew that would never happen since she was an overweight girl. To get her self-esteem up she decides to join a strip club. Lacey and her friend went for the fun of it but when she got offered a job she accepted. I wished that her first day went differently. I wish that she realized that she didn’t have to get naked to feel appreciated but that didn’t happen. There was just something that didn’t fit well with me.

The author did a great job at writing the erotic scenes but there was something lacking. I would definitely read something else from this author, just not this story. I don’t really recommend it. Sorry.

Great Read

Great read but I wish there was more to it though. Really short but keeps you wanting more. Definitely recommend

This book was nothing like I expected. I honestly think it fell short on quite a few areas. I love stories where women find themselves and do something about their weight or health to make a change for the better. I wanted to like Lacey but I could not. I understand self-esteem problems but this one was too much for me. Nothing like I expected and I am really excited that I did not purchase this book instead I received it free on Amazon.

Not quite what I was expecting.

I think the story was well written and had a flow. The language was vibrant and the erotic sense were vivid without being raunchy. I would read another story by the author.
