Book Description

Publication Date: June 2002

Having recently discovered that there is a whole segment of the male populace who like their women large and bold, Jennifer Rose has finally learned to be comfortable with the fact that she is full-figured. To celebrate, she decides to take a walk on the wild side. The moment she spots the tall, blonde, handsome Rick Markham at a charity bachelor auction, her libido slips into active overdrive. Although she's been hurt in the past, she determines to get more for her money than dinner and pleasant conversation.

This description does not apply to the sultry, plus-sized Jennifer Rose, who wins a bidding war with his ideal woman, requiring him to spend an evening with her. After a surprising dinner, a slow dance, and several kisses that excite and arouse him, Rick is ready to hop into the sack with Jennifer for a one-night stand. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when he does...

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Tales review, September 14, 2003

This review is from: Full Bodied Charmer (Paperback)

By TT reviewer Diana

In Full Bodied Charmer, Rick Markham is a blond playboy looking to settle down with his ideal women: a beautiful, slender blonde. He's not into full figured women, but that's all about to change. Jennifer Rose is not your typical heroine; she is, as the title implies, a full figured woman, and although she is a successful author and computer technician, she is looking for true love with her ideal: a tall dark haired man.

Jennifer and Rick's first meeting is at a charity bachelor auction, where Jennifer is involved in a bidding war with Rick's dream girl. While Rick would rather have had the slender blonde win, he resigns himself to the fact he owes Jennifer a nice date, since she paid $500 for his time.

A platonic date of dinner and dancing turns into a wild night for Rick and Jennifer. Although the attraction is mutual and immediate, both Rick and Jennifer have to get past long held ideals of their perfect partner and past betrayals in order to find true love.

I enjoyed this entertaining and fun book immensely. Full Bodied Charmer is a well-written, fast paced and sensual story, while also being sweet and romantic. The characters are fully developed and their relationship and love for each other develops at a believable pace. Very few books deal with real characters like our heroine, almost all of the heroines in today's contemporary romances are tall, beautiful and "willowy" or petite, beautiful and a "perfect size six". Full Bodied Charmer deals skillfully with our preconceived ideas of what or who will make us happy. Along with the romance of Rick and Jennifer, the story has interesting and enjoyable secondary characters, especially Jennifer's best friend Cherica Martin and Rick's friend and business partner Troy Hunter, who has married a full-figured girl of his own.

5.0 out of 5 stars BBW with a happy ending, September 17, 2006

This review is from: Full Bodied Charmer (Paperback)

Bravo!!! Ms. Lee has done it again. I am a big fan of Ms. Lee and "Full Bodied Charmer" is a follow-up to her "Fall of Troy"; however, it is a stand alone book. Rick never saw it coming. He was purchased at a bachelor's auction by Jennifer Rose, a full-figured woman, not exactly his dream women. The story is a wonderful romance with great passionate scenes. You will definitely want to add this one to your collection.
