Big & Beautiful #10
Round & Ravishing
What do you do when your darkest secrets are exposed? I thought I had everything. I was living my dream life, but it all fell apart, and I had to crawl home with my tail between my legs. Working with my mom in her flower shop was not ideal, but with no job, no boyfriend, and no future in Hollywood, it was my best, ahem only, option. Until a reporter shows up asking about the nude pictures of me online. Um, excuse me? Cue freak out. I’d love to pretend they weren’t me, but those are definitely my curvy thighs. And all my other curvy parts. I remember the day they were taken. And who took them. Funny how his career took off and mine didn’t. Before I can figure out what to do, another guy shows up. Noah’s sweet and funny and doesn’t seem to know anything about the pictures. Is it possible? He really seems too good to be true. As everything starts to feel like it’s crumbling, he’s there, supporting me. Loving me. Letting me forget. But I can’t forget. And I can’t let go. I wasn’t the only one in those pictures. But I was the only one exposed online. Maybe it’s time someone else gets some extra exposure.

About the author
Mary E. Thompson
97 books366 followersUSA TODAY Bestselling Author Mary E Thompson spent most of her childhood wishing she had a few less curves. She hid in the pages of books because her favorite characters never cared what size her clothes were. Now, neither does Mary, and she writes stories that celebrate women like her. Real women who have curves, chase dreams, and find love, because we should all be happy, no matter our dress size.
Mary spends her non-writing time with her husband and two kids, watching too much TV, cheering for her hometown football team (Go Bills!), and hiding chocolate from her family.

I can't get enough of this series. I love catching up with the rest of the ladies and their men.
When private photos of her are released, Tara feels revenge is in order. Noah sees heartache and joy as a pediatric oncology nurse. After a one night (repeated) stand, these two finds themselves falling for each other. When her past comes to light, Tara finds that revenge isn't as sweet and easy.

This series was so good I could not put it down and I rushed to get the entire series...all 13 books of them. You will absolutely love every single character in the book, you will laugh out loud through and just shake your head at the antics of these fearless women. No spoilers, sorry. Go on, hurry don’t hesitate, these are just to damn good to pass up. My review will be the same for all 12 books cuz they are all amazing!

Tara is being persued by paparazzi after her ex publishes naked photos of her, his career us taking off as a producer but her acting career is toast. Back in Winterville, helping her mum in the florists after her dad gets sick gas given her a new lease on life and she realises there's more to life than Hollywood. Then she meets Noah, a oncology nurse. Wow how sparks fly.

I know there have been problems with the Amazon orders of this book due to changing rules and the fact that there was a miscommunication between the author and Amazon (per the authors newsletter). I hope it's cleared quickly because this book definitely deserves more than one star reviews.
I was able to receive the entire book and I absolutely loved it. I think that I've found my favorite second couple in this series!! Tara has moved back from California where she tried to make it big, to help with the family florist shop and help with her ailing dad. She's also run into the best friend that betrayed her years ago. Then her now successful ex releases photos of her online and paparazzi are showing up everywhere wanting the scoop. When she meets hot, too-good-to-be-true Noah, suspicious is a nice way to describe her attitude. The attraction is instant and although it wasn't supposed to be serious, fate works in mysterious ways.
The gang is all back and it's awesome to catch up with everyone again while still meeting new friends again!! I'm so glad Mary E. Thompson keeps this series going because I'm sorely miss these ladies and gents!! The support they lend to each other, no matter what, is enviable! Still love the character development Ms. Thompson brings to her books! Now eagerly awaiting the next one...

I don’t actually like either of them, well, I would have had more respect for Tara if she DIDN’T get back together with Noah, as I find him to be such an assh*le man-child… but it’s still an ok read.
Noah’s apology sucks, he “needs her in his bed”, she chases away the blah, blah, blah, then he was going to give her the flowers that she put together to her (and without paying if ya noticed)… like that still didn’t cover him tearing her apart in front of her friends and the time he had a fit thinking she was stalking him at the hospital when she was there to see a friend… NOPE
☕️🧁
Read again for 2nd time on Galatea (as series ✨magically✨ disappeared from my iBook library) just had to deal with the annoying 6hr wait between itty-bitty chapters 🙄🙄🙄

Amazing as always! I get so excited when a new book in this series comes out. Noah and Tara have super hot chemistry right from the start and I think I even feel in love a little with Noah❤ Cant wait for the next book.

A little different in a really good way.
It started humdrum and then slowly began to pickup steam. It held the pace and kept growing chapter by chapter. Turned out really good and very enjoyable. It also gives a few insights on Hollywood. Read and enjoy.
