Sweet For You by Harper Ashe

Sweet For You
Synopsis

Can true love - and a sweet tooth - conquer all?

Abby Branson has a plus-size crush on handsome billionaire Stephen Blake, CEO of a gourmet foods empire. But when she's hired by Blake Foods as a taste tester for a new line of diet desserts, she's devastated to discover that the real Mr. Blake isn't anything like the fantasy man in her dreams. Until one passionate kiss reveals there's more to the brooding billionaire than meets the eye.

With profits slipping, the future of Stephen Blake's gourmet foods company is riding on the successful launch of his diet desserts line. Adding cute and curvy Abby Branson to the project team makes sense. After all, she smart, feisty, and fits the customer demographic to a T. Although love is the last thing on Stephen's mind, he can't help but notice that Abby is more delicious than anything his company creates.

Sparks soon fly between the billionaire and the BBW. But with her insecurities and his wounded heart, coming up with the right recipe for romance won't be a piece of cake. Will Stephen and Abby succeed in the diet desserts business - and find true love in the process?

Sweet for You is a feel-good romance with a HEA ending. This sweet, romantic novella is one guilty pleasure that won't pack on the pounds - even if you read it more than once!

 
 

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.
