The Fall Of Troy
Troy never expected to fall in lust with, let alone in love with, a bigger woman like Angie. Angie is sweet, beautiful, kind, and passionate, but Troy isn't looking for a commitment from her. When Angie is seen around town on the arm of another man, however, it's just a matter of time before Troy realizes that he wants Angie to belong to him.

Okay, so I would never give a 2 star review unless I felt that it was appropriately warranted. I read the synopsis for this novella and was so excited by the premise. Curvy girl, hot guy...a cruise ship! What could go wrong? It went really wrong for me. The author described a man's ass as "buns" on every page. It took my brain completely out of the scene. The dialogue felt unreal and too graphic. If a guy's going to talk dirty, make it worth my wait. Build me up, don't splat it out there like a pancake on a hot griddle. If he wants to lick her *&%$#, make it erotic and dirty, naughty and forbidden. This author told me information instead of making me experience the emotions for myself. I would recommend this read for someone who has little time for emotional entanglements and is happy to read graphic phrasing without a solid foundation of romance or eroticism. I must admit the cover is hot and it did entice me to purchase the novella.

( I don't think this contains any direct spoilers but may have a few implied ones, so just be warned)
The Fall of Troy Wasn't bad, but wasn't keeper material either. It's a Rubenesque Romance, so the heroine's plus size, and ML did a good job writing her heroine and her insecurities. Also the sex scenes were pretty damn hot (not the spiciest you'll ever read, but pretty good, IMO).
The not so good part? The whole romantic relationship b/w the H and h, felt shallow at best. I don't really know why either one was into the other, besides the afore mentioned hot sex. Also the H was a little aggravating in his "I don't want to commit-itis". And the fact that the h more or less manipulates the H into doing what she wants? Not exactly what HEA's should be made of, again IMO. Oh, also, if you're against Heroes who have sex with non-heroine women (after he's met and slept with the heroine) then you probably want to find another read. I'm usually not a fan of it either, but somehow ML made it work...Still not my favorite plot device, but it didn't piss me off as much as it usually does. I think I'd have liked it more if the h had at least tried to move on as well, though I understandw hy she didn't. I read the e-book, but if I had the print version of this, It wouldn't be going on my permanent shelf, though I do plan on reading more of Ms Lee's titles...so worth a read, but not any shelf space.

I enjoyed this story. It was hot from start to finish. I believe this was one of Marilyn Lee's first books. It was the story of unexpected love and passion. A love story of Angie and Troy, both strong heroine as well as hero. It shows how we cannot control who we fall in love with in this world. It also showed how in the case of Angie being a plus-size heroine, size did matter to Troy. He found himself being unable to live with Angie and the love was better than anything he had experienced in his life. He soon learned that Angie had no intention of settling for anything less than a commitment from him. I highly recommend this book!!!

I love Marilyn Lee books because she writes about full figured woman (like me)!! I had an itch for her books this week so I read this one and enjoyed it! I love the way her couples dialogue with each other. They are funny, honest and very direct!
I know some might think what Angie and Troy's best friend did to Troy to make him admit his true feelings for Angie may seem cruel but I think he deserved it. He was being stubborn for no good reason and he needed a swift kick to his ass to get him moving in the right direction. I loved it.
I really enjoyed reading this book.

(Sep) When I read Full Bodied Charmer by Marily Lee I loved it - zaftig heroine, erotically sexy...win-win! I knew there was a book that came before, but could never find it. Finally found it and read it and...didn't love it. I liked it, it was ok, but there was just something very meh about it - it was a fine read, but also easily forgettable. I'm glad I read it just so I could stop searching for it, but can't imagine ever persuing its pages again.

Ugh it started off cute, but then towards the end Angie turned in to an annoying h, seriously trying to get the guy to admit he's jealous by her actions..... So immature and lame. Almost gave it 1 star, but I've read worse books. This is my first book by this author. I'm gonna read the sequel, but not sure if I'll try any others by this author.

Quick read. Nothing spectacular.
Meet on a cruise. Have sex. Go their separate ways.
Meet again. He doesn't want relationship while she does. She goes out with his best friend to make him jealous and then realises he loves her.

I usually like Lee's books, but this one didn't work for me. To me, Angie & Troy never developed any real chemistry, seemed mismatched throughout.

It was enjoyable until the end. I didn't care for the games she was playing. But overall, a hot and steamy read. I'll definitely read it again for a quick evening read.
