light and quick read, AV is an autobuy for me,
Another lovely, sweet book from AV, I love her writing style and her sweet characters, This hero was one of the best, a sweet man with a really good heart, It was a departure from the usual alpha heroes I read about who are ubergoodlooking and uberaware of it, well mostly, I am never really clear of what the heroine's issues are in these books, I get the weight and bodyimage issues but the rest of it is played
up too much.
It was in this case too and I guess it gave the hero something to work for, Characteristically in these , the tension comes from interrupted moments and other women acting overaggressively towards the hero, which I can never really understand, its always the sweet heroine Vs.
the rest of slutty womankind, it seems, . . but the story was a simple one and pleasant to read, nonetheless, I would recommend this book, I am a first time reader of Angela Verdenius and I am so glad I did,
This book had a very simple premise smokin' hot male and Rubenesque female who are new neighbors,
Carley moves in across the street from this tall cool drink of water, except she thinks he an absent minded dope.
He's always misplacing things and then wandering around to find them,
Sam feels most women only think of him as a hunk of meat and he's right, However, Sam actually has a brain and he wishes someone would see him for that, not just his handsome face amp form,
Carly soon learns that Sam does have a brain and is actually quite smart and genuinely nice to be around,
Que the hot romance, and all the idiots who cannot believe that Sam should or should be dating the voluptuous Carley.
How dare he! He belongs with the Beautiful People! Sorry, had to add the sarcasm,
They both have some social and emotional hurtles to climb, but they figure it out,
I don't generally care for contemporaries, but this book had it all for me, It was sizzling hot and sweet as can be,
This book left me with a great big smile on my face when I finished, a giggle bubbling up and my heart feeling glad and full.
Haven't had that happen in a very long time, Astar book for me! I'm not in the least bit embarrassed to say that I am a FANGIRL when it comes to Angela Verdenius.
She has got me hooked on her community of hunky blokes and curvy sheilas, Funny and steamy and sweet, these books seem to have it all for me, But this one, Seducing Sam just went above and beyondexceeding all of my expectations,
This story seemed to have MORE, The banter between characters seemed funnier than ever, the steam and sexual tension seemed amped up, and there was the lurking element of danger on the horizon that made things interesting and tense which isn't a usual thing in her BBW series'.
Or maybe it's because she didn't let me down when it came to our hero, Sam,
I've been intrigued and half in love with Sam since I read Virgin Sex Queen, but I figured Sam's story wasn't going to be told because Ms.
Verdenius took the secondary characters off in another direction to start the Mackay Sisters series, It was a happy day for me when I found out that my yes, I have dibs sweet, bespectacled, muscular male nurse would have his story told! Hallelujah!
There is so much about Sam that is endearing.
He's sexy, he's studlybut he's no woman's piece o' meat! No Ma'am, He's not interested in being a notch on a bedpost or anyone's boytoy, He wants a woman with staying power, But sometimes his kindheart and good manners keep him from being blunt in his rebuffswhich, unfortunately lets the more tenacious of the horny witches worm their way into a date or two with him.
Poor Sam.
Sam also has the cute tendency to misplace things, His glasses, his keys, his books especially when he has a certain voluptuous neighborCarlyon his mind, And his cat SJ Sam Junior is no help at all, He just judges with his judgy eyes and plots the downfall of the yappy chihuahua, Crusher, across the street,
Carly wasn't delicate, wasn't slim okay, she wasn't delicate or slim, she was a generously proportioned woman, but hell, she was all woman.
All curves and rounded limbs, all big bosom, big hips he could grasp and dig his fingers into, hips his palms could curve around as he held her for their mutual pleasure.
Soft pink lips, Soft flesh. Smooth skin. All curves and peaks, valleys and sweet, sweet scent, If he closed his eyes, he could recall how sweet she smelled,
Now he was getting a boner,
Finishing off the last of the iced chocolate, he wondered about his next step, Did he have a next step What was that What did he intend to do Should he do anything
Crumpling the carton in his hand, he tossed it through the air.
Unfortunately, his eye sight wasn't that good without his glasses and it hit the wall instead of landing in the bin,
Sighing, he picked up the carton and placed it in the bin, Scratching his head, he looked around, Where were his glasses
Maybe he'd go out for a drive, drop in on Alan and Sophie, let things settle in his own mind before he really thought about what he was going to do.
If he could find his frickin' car keys,
That, folks, is an example of how a funny, sexy, sweet BBW is done, Perfection. And to top it off, we get Alan, Mike, Marty and Tim thrown into the mix more hunks and more laughs, Not to spoil anything but Alan still refers to women as "chicks"he hasn't been reformed by Sophie, obviously, And Tim is still wearing hilariously inappropriate animal tshirts,
If you are wondering if my Sam is falling into the toonice category, never fear, he's the right blend of dominant, caring and protective for Carly, who has some past demons that have yet to be worked out.
I don't want to say more, . . just read it!! And if you haven't read any of the books that came beforeget on it!!

The Bottom Line
BBW romance told from the heros POV.
Hes gorgeous, tired of being only seen for his looks and shes insecure, and not interested in a relationship after getting out of a bad one.
Theres a tiny bit of danger at the very end, Familiar, but Verdenius switched up her formula a bit and it saves this story for me, If youre into the curvy girl getting the super hot and sweet guy who loves that she sees past his prettiness, I think youll enjoy this.
You did it again Angela! Another great story,
I just loved Sam amp Carly's story, What I just loved about Sam was even though he was this Hunk of a guy he would not settle, He wanted a lasting relationship, someone who would grow old with him as he grows old amp looses his hunkness, And when he kept loosing things his glasses, his book amp keys, Too cute. Carly is insecure, and not interested in any relationship after getting out of a bad one, But Sam slowly brought her along and they found lasting love, I enjoyed seeing some of the older characters appearing in Sam's book, I can't wait for the next book, .
