Our 3.75 Star Review
Needing some extra money Curvy Abby decides to volunteer for a diet product testing gig making some good money. When her blunt honesty shows the company how horrible their new deserts are the owner Stephen Blake offers her a job she can't refuse. As time goes by the two dance around each other while getting the new line off the ground, but when misunderstandings abound will they passion they have for each other help them figure things out? Or will their possible relationship finish with the launching of the Sweet for You desert line?
Abby is happy with who she is extra curves and all even though at times you see her insecurity her strengths are seen much more often. Stephen isn't outgoing at all and even though it is explained that he's not good at talking with people his inability to connect left me wanting at times. His inner monologue helps you see more of who he is but it would've been nice to see more of it. I liked the storyline overall with the Deserts launch being a great way to bring two people together. My complaint that while yes I understand this is meant to be a short story I would've liked to see more depth and interaction between the main characters of when they were getting to know each other.
