* REVIEW * - The Big, Not-So-Small, Curvy Girls, BBW Romance, Dating Agency (Plush Daisies: BBW Romance, #1) by Ava Catori



Reviewer : Kaylene
Rating : 3.5 Stars



3.5 stars for this light entertaining read, around the subject of big beautiful women ...

This story is a light and fluffy but entertaining read and broaches the subject of big beautiful women (BBW) and their insecurities. 
 
The story follows Becky’s life and her desire to start up a BBW internet dating service.  She meets Reed, a photographer who seems to be attracted to Becky even though he is engaged to be married to a gorgeous model type.
 
There was the usual put the “fat” chick down by the waif model type coupled with a insecurities of the larger woman. There was also some issue I found in the fact they were seeing each other before Reed actually gave his fiancĂ© her marching orders.
 
I liked the side characters in this book and they were developed well.  I also laughed out loud on numerous occasions and I mean really laughed hard. 
 
I am not convinced the ending was well crafted as I was shocked when it said THE END .. I wondered where the rest of the story was as it left me wanting more, not really knowing how Becky and Reed’s story ended because it left me wanting more as I felt the story was unfinished.
 
This book was enjoyable but the abrupt ending caught me off guard and I would have liked the story to really achieve a HEA for Becky and Reed.
 

Becky Holgate's lost her focus. It’s complicated...she didn't mean to fall in love with another woman’s guy. How could she be a matchmaker for other people if all she could think about was her own heart? Determined to ignore her growing infatuation, she set her sightss on building her career. Only Reed Amwell was making it hard to concentrate; every encounter left her breathless.

Reed didn't mean to fall for the curvy girl, but she was carefree, silly, and fresh. Her soft curves and playful heart had him questioning his current relationship. Could he be with the wrong girl? He needed to figure it out fast, because his wedding day was getting closer by the minute. 

With a laugh-out-loud best friend, an insane cat, and a business to run, Becky Holgate didn’t have time for guys like Reed Amwell...until time was running out.
