The Big, Not-So-Small, Curvy Girls, BBW Romance, Dating Agency Review

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book for review purposes only.

"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 sites 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."

 I thought that this book was hilarious!!! And, it was a super easy read. I had never read anything by Ava Catori, but I am definitely a fan now. The only thing I didn't like about it was the ending. It was a wonderful love story, but it seemed like just when it finally started it immediately ended. But, that's usually how most romance novels go, so I'm not complaining too much. I just felt like it had a lot of detail in the beginning, and towards the end, it wasn't near as detailed. But, overall I liked the book and I enjoyed it a lot.

Stars: 3/5

S'mores TastyKake Review

Disclaimer: I received this product from Influenster for review purposes only.  All opinions are entirely my own.

In my Influenster VoxBox, I received this S'mores flavored TastyKake.  I wanted to eat it immediately, but it was 11:00 at night when I took this picture, and I try not to eat that late at night, so I didn't.  

So, I took it to work and ate it then.  Now, I'm a big Debbie Cake girl, and I love me some chocolate.  So, I had high hopes for this dessert.  And, it kind of fell short of my hopes.  I didn't even make it through half of it.  I just couldn't do it.  It was more of a "cake" and I like my smores to be crunchy I guess.  And, I really have a huge aversion to whipped cream and the cream in this reminded me of that same texture.  But, I have to say it wasn't awful.

So I give it 3/5 stars.  I would eat it if I was starving, but it's never going to be my first choice.

Secret to Smooth Skin

I was selected to review the Aveeno Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream by Influenster.

I'm not usually one to use night creams.  

Heck I don't even take my makeup before bed usually.

But, just to see if it could make a difference I tried it.

And holy moly what a difference it makes!

My skin was super soft and glowing.  I didn't have to worry about wearing a ton of makeup because my face already looked great.

I'm a huge fan, and I'll never skip the night cream again.

Review: Remembrance

 

Goodreads Synopsis:  Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet.

Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?

Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.

 

Review:  While I enjoyed the idea behind the book, I can't honestly say that I enjoyed reading it.  There were parts that I thought were super cheesy, and it was really predictable.  It was also based on Taylor Swift's Love Story.  While I could see the connection, I definitely think they are two completely different things. 

 

I just didn't like it, and I had to force myself to finish it.  So, I definitely won't be reading the rest of this series.

 

I give it 2/5 stars.
