Review: Chubby & Charming

Chubby & Charming by Mary E. Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mandy has spend her whole life overweight. She has learned to embrace it. She figured there was no hope of ever finding a man. But she had her three best friends and life was good. Working for an insurance company she only had to talk on the phone. Nobody had to see her. She loved talking to people and this gave her the anonymity to never be judged by her size. Until the day Xander Carlson called. The man with the sexy voice and man could he flirt. Xander wanted to meet that person behind that beautiful voice. What that voice did to him over the phone he could only imagine what would happen face to face. Xander can't wait. Mandy knows men as hot and sexy as Xander will never fall for a women like her.
Mandy has had quite a few men play games with her. Used to being judged on her body, she assumes Xander is going to do the same when they meet. She puts up her walls before she even gives him a chance. Xander was excited when he met Mandy the first time and really confused at what went wrong at that meeting. Xander was a fantastic man. He tried so hard. There were a few times you want to reach in the book and slap Mandy on the back of her head. Yet you understand where she is coming from. Once you build them walls it is so hard to knock them down. You do everything you can to protect yourself from pain. The story line flows smoothly and you got to love the best friends, even Xander has one great friend. Hopefully you get to learn more about all of them in the rest of the series.
