If Ever
If Ever a young girl fell in love, how long would it last?
If Ever a man was worth the effort, how would a woman make him see her?
If Ever a woman found the man of her dreams, what would she give to hold onto him for a lifetime?
Lacey Olivia Bennett has all of these questions and more, when it comes to sexy Justin McKenna. Tall, dark and handsome were mere words when it came to the man she’d lusted after for more years than she cared to count. Growing up on the edge of his friendship, just out of range of his love hasn’t stopped her from wanting and wishing for more and now she is a woman who would willingly do whatever it takes to connect with the man of her dreams – except be taken for one of the guys.
The guys get football games, beer, and loud laughter. Lacey wants hot nights, sweet whispered promises, and forever love, but Justin hasn’t got a clue. He’s a good guy with good intentions, but that is nowhere near enough. Willing to take what she can get, she’s done all she dropped sixty pounds, strutted her stuff, made seduction in the workplace into an art form, and always been a friend. And the man is still patting her on the head and inviting her out with the guys. Pushed to the limits of her tolerance and desire, Lacey decides to stake a claim on herself, her body, and her future.
If Ever a woman needed to get her strut on with a man like Justin McKenna, would she take a walk in Lacey's stilettos.?

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 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.
