In The More Things Change by Chamein Canton, the reader is treated to the continuing story of the relationship between Cathy Chambers, a plus-size literary agent, and Marcus Fox, superstar of the NY Yankees. The book opens with the marriage proposal. Marcus, ever attentive to Cathy's needs planned a very romantic proposal with the help of her family and friends. And now the media feels they need to be a part of this personal experience. Since dating Marcus, Cathy has learned to accept the media intrusions and made adjustments to her life. But, a tabloid reporter has stepped up his vicious game to bring discord to the couple. Cathy gives in to her insecurities of a being a plus-size woman in a weight-conscious society and Marcus does everything in his power to reassure Cathy of his love and commitment to her while meeting the media head on. With these continuing media attacks, Cathy and Marcus keep each other first and always keep the romance in their relationship. But a "lie by omission" by Marcus threatens the trust between the couple.

Besides the issue of being a plus-sized woman, the story addresses several issues that many women face when attempting to have a relationship in their late thirties/early forties; older children, career advancement, established routines and lifestyles, and assumptions of male behaviors based on prior experience.

There is no question of the unconditional love that Cathy and Marcus have for each other and this is one of the story themes that I enjoyed. I looked forward to reading what romantic "treat" Marcus had planned next for Cathy. Marcus demonstrates throughout the story that he will do everything to take care of and protect Cathy. The dialogue and actions by Cathy each time she is confronted by a "fat" woman remark became a little predictable and after a while the reader feels like they are reading the same scene over and over. I recommend this book to romance readers and especially fans of Chamein Canton.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thick & Triumphant!, September 5, 2009

Ms. Canton delivers a very strong message in this romance that is hard to ignore: Love comes in all shapes and sizes. Cathy & Marcus fall in love Marcus is a professional baseball player and is affluent and good looking. Marcus' proposal to Cathy opens up a door to an old issue: do brides have to be skinny? Cathy is a full sized 16, mother of two grown men - why not be a full figured bride? Cathy has experienced all aspects of womanhood - why not celebrate! I loved this story and I enjoyed the realism of Cathy's struggle in maintaining her identity and NOT going along with societal norms. It must be noted that having a rich fiancé does make this issue more tolerable as Marcus was able to use his money as an influence - lets imagine if Marcus did not make millions - Cathy would have more of a challenge.
I loved this story - Ms. Canton does an excellent job on the couple's passion, and the friends/family around this couple really keeps the story going as well.

I loved this book! It was the perfect sequel. This books makes me want to go out and fall in love and get married. But that won't happen probably for another 2 years or so but anyway this book was absolutely fantastic! I think Ms. Canton is a fantastic author.
