Life is right on track for curvalicious entrepreneur, Michelle Wilson. Her travel agency is thriving, her passport is not as stamped as much as she’d hoped, but she’s got a travel bucket list a mile long and is determined to see everything the world has to offer. She's also managed to lose a few pounds, and that was something she was proud of. When an unexpected fire almost burns down not only the bookstore next door to her travel agency, it also threatens to extinguish her ambitions and dreams, as the entire building gets closed down. But she soon finds herself facing a new obstacle: a tall, gorgeous firefighter with reddish hair, a foreign accent, muscles for days, and a smile that could melt an iceberg.

Blaise. His name is Blaise. She shares a laugh about his ironic name with her friends, but in reality, she just can't get the sexy fireman out of her head. Is there any chance someone like him could be interested in someone like her? Only one way to find out...

The insurance company will handle the damage to her hard-earned travel agency, but who will douse inferno in her heart when Blaise goes no-contact on her... and essentially disappears without a warning or a trace?

Perfect

I've been in a funk lately and this book was just what I needed. Sweet and hot with very low angst. Fantastic secondary characters, I mean every heroine needs a kick a$$ best friend. This book was just what I needed. I've read three or four others in this standalone series and they have all been great.

Cute and original storyline with good characters. I did feel like the instalove thing was a bit over the top and Blaise was a bit too forward. It was like he was a demanding alpha, but it came across kind of weird to me instead of hot like it was supposed to. He was secretive about his life too which is odd to me when he was already head over heels in love and had even basically told Michelle he was going to knock her up one day. Yet he couldnt tell her exactly what he did for a living or where he lived. I just thought it was kind of weird.
Overall though I liked reading about a plus sized heroine who wasn't trying to change for a man, and I liked that Blaise loved her exactly the way that she was, curves and all.

This is a cute funny story about love and unexpected things that happen

Blaise and Michelle 's initial meet up was at a fire at her office. He is a volunteer firefighter. They meet up again when he needs to book travel to Australia, which is where he is from. They are so fun and exciting through all the stuff they do. Her friends are such wonderful additional characters. The ups and downs throughout this book keep you on an emotionally charged ride. Love this story.

Trust in love

A hero with an accent wiil get you every time. Blaize was a cool cat sweeping Michelle off her feet. I love the mystery surrounding Blaize. Michelle set him straight. She loved him regardless of his bank account, but I think he knew that already, just needed to hear her say it. Babies are precious. So happy for them.

There are moments in the book where the story feels dragged out and some actions by the main characters are immature and not believable for people nearing their 30's. I liked that h had some insecurities but that they weren't overwhelming. Overall I did enjoy this book and would recommend to those that like curvy girl stories.

I rated this book as 5 stars because
it was not only funny p

This book was not only funny but true to life. It shows that even overweight people can lead delightful lives full of fun and ecstasy. The come backs blew me away but the come on's were hilarious. Beauty is more than skin deep and you'll enjoy this book to the end.

Big Escapes

Candi Heart, is a new author on my library selves. This romantic storyline was missing the romantic comedy . Yet, like most BBW storytelling . The readers were entice with drama and a flare for food. I found myself captivate by the main characters . I still was intrigue by this BBW novel and found it to be a worthy read.
