Sam Crescent delights with this sexy short story. Ace Heart is the kind of bad boy hero women dream of. The type of bad boy who is really a good guy! Trixie Dean is a good girl who has finally decided to stop living the life she'd never planned for herself. She wants to see what it really is she wants and I couldn't help but admire her for that. She definitely didn't take the easy way out and it cost her some problems. But she is strong and is dealing with the fallout of her decision. I loved how well these characters were developed especially for a shorter story. It was interesting to see the relationship between Ace and his mother and I was so grateful to get the insight into his feelings for Trixie. I enjoyed the fact that this story was so heartfelt, yet full of heat I've come to expect from this combination when it comes to this author. I was not disappointed. I love my romances with curvy heroines and Trixie is a leading lady with doubts and yet she doesn't let them stop her from moving forward. I couldn't help but admire her. So if you are a fan of big beautiful ladies and the alpha men who love them, this one is a great choice for you. The Story: Trixie has always been the good girl. She's followed the path laid out for her by her parents. She has the perfect job and is about to marry the perfect man, but she just can't do it. Making the decision to get a tattoo leads her to working for the bad boy she had a crush on in school. But can that really be lust she is seeing in his eyes?

Sam Crescent continues her Curvy Women Wanted series in this wonderful novella about tattoo artist Ace Heart and his shop assistant Trixie Dean. Sam Crescent is an awesome author who writes books about real women, with hips, tummies, and curves abound. As a curvy woman myself, it's refreshing to read stories about women who are more of the societal norm, size 12 or above. Trixie has worked with Ace for the past 3 years. Before that, she had gone to business school, been top at her firm, and almost married, all at the hands of her parents. She was miserable, so she gave it all up and went to work for Ace. Ace has always had a thing for Trixie, but he never thought he was good enough. Now, he decides it's time to let Trixie know how he feels, but does she feel the same? Trixie certainly doesn't like other women coming on to him at the shop. Will she finally take what she really wants? You'll love this short story by Sam Crescent, and the sex scenes are so hot they'll burn up the sheets! Keep your fire extinguisher handy!

This one is for all the curvy girls who love a sweet romance that features women like them. I loved Ace and Trixie.

Powerful. Strong. Sexy. Loving. All words for this book. These two have loved each other for years and finally made their way to each other.
