Successful businesswoman Avery Barrows likes her dips and curves, but she’s sick of the haters telling her that she should be ashamed of her body instead of embracing it. Determined to send them a big f*** you, Avery resolves to cut loose during a girls’ trip, hightailing her quick-mouthed, plus-sized self to New Orleans. So, what’s a smart woman with a little extra gotta do to get laid in this town?
Not much if you ask Declan McGinn, the lead singer of BlackSmith. Tall, dark, and tattooed, with a body made for sin, Declan prefers his women as curvy as his guitars. Avery’s sharp tongue and keen mind makes him want her even more.
As they burn up the sheets, Avery and Declan realize this is no one-night (or even one-week) stand. But for all of her bluster, Avery isn’t sure she can handle any more rejection. Besides, Declan has demons of his own. Now Avery has a choice to make: play it safe, or place her trust in the hands of a man who’s as tempting as the devil himself.

My Review
This was a fun read! While I have no problem with the heroine being curvy, I did get a little tired of hearing Avery mentioning her size over and over. But I liked the chemistry between her and Declan. I enjoyed how her friend, Kat, engineered a date between them and they couldn't fake that chemistry if they had tried. Neither one of them was looking for someone and yet they kept bumping into each other. I'm glad they didn't fight it and allowed themselves the chance. I enjoyed the banter between these characters and liked the friends they had around them, supporting them. I look forward to future books from this new author!
