Sugar Jamison was temporarily part of our group before this post. I have sent a friend request and asked her to rejoin our group. While she was here, she added this book to our shelves. I became aware of it because of that. Here is my review. While I gave it 3 stars, it is really more like 3 1/2 stars as I feel that the overall story itself was well done. There were my pet peeves of over the top characters which I think are the product of the publishers pushing as the story really could have been told intelligently without all of that, but publishers adhere to the idea that romance readers are not that bright. There were many things that rang so true for me as a fuller bodied woman,that I feel the author gets it. I still do not like the term "curvy" or "plus size" for that matter when it comes to fashion as these denote the idea that this is "acceptable" fat as long as you are under a size 26. (Over that like me and you are told to not even THINK about leaving the house.) I do appreciate the idea of the store and would love to see ones like it in real life.
I look forward to book 2 and see where Jamison's voice will lead.
