Misadventures of a Curvy Girl (Misadventures Book 18, 18) Paperback – February 19, 2019

Misadventures of a Curvy Girl by Sierra Simone was so much more than I expected. Not only a great story with amazing characters, but also gives us the very best feels, especially for us curvy girls. I loved Ireland Mills so much. She was so real and relatable. She was smart and vulnerable.Caleb Carpenter and Ben Weber were everything. They were exactly what Ireland needed. The chemistry between all three of them was intense. Both men were very different from one another but seemed to complement each other as well. And let me tell you, they knew exactly how to treat Ireland in all the best ways.Misadventures of a Curvy Girl by Sierra Simone was a great read. I loved every minute of it and could not put it down. Not only were the characters great and very likable, I loved the steamy and sexy story so much as well!Loved it! Happy reading!

I liked the storyline of this book,but feel it took the easy way out with not letting swords cross. I really feel shorted due to the lack of intimate scenes between Ben and Caleb. Sure they kiss, but other than that their love isn’t really explored.But I guess this book wasn’t about them,it was about the main character, the curvy girl.and in that respect the author did a good job of capturing the insecurities of bigger women, the fears and the doubts.I’d recommend it as a very good read, but did give it 4 stars due to lack of intimacy between Ben and Caleb, and due to a couple other small issues.

Sierra Simone is a writer I can always count on to give me the down and dirty, and does she ever deliver with Misadventures of a Curvy Girl. Caleb and Ben are HOT! Together, they become the perfect combination of lovers in the bedroom and in life. Ben is the stoic and damaged veteran who runs the local bar, and Caleb is the more caring, outwardly, farmer. Together, in and out of the bedroom, these two work to give Ireland what she needs to be happy and to feel loved. Unlike most books with threesomes, there is a relationship that is alive and flourishing between Caleb and Ben in its own right, and of the aspects I love both is that they don't try to define it. They simply know that they love each other, but they also know that they don't work as a two but they need a three. Overall, though, I do wish that there would have been more complexity to their characters. While I love them, I do truly feel like there was so much depth, especially with Ben, that was left unexplored.Ireland makes the whole book because she is the relatable character. Her insecurities will be the insecurities of most of the female population. Seeing her thoughts as these men pleasure her, as she has to show them her body in the light of day, as we see her struggle with her confidence and the judgment of others. It is enlightening to see how the comments of others break her down, to the point that she can't her the comments of those who love her, particularly Ben and Caleb. Through her character, readers see the stigma we have attached to being fat, and even goes as far as to address the fact that the word fat has become dirty, an insult that we hurl at others, but what I ultimately love is that readers see all the negativity that is hurled at people who are overweight through the Ireland. We see how it breaks her down, tears her apart, and how the affects are long-lasting, because Ireland is a phenomenal heroine, which drives home the destructive nature of this stigma. Like any Sierra Simone book, the heroes are incredibly attractive, with dirty mouths and skills between the sheets. The heroine is unique and lovable. The couple, together, steam up Kindles. On top of all of that, we get a real, authentic relationship that builds between them. There is inst-lust and a but of insta-love, but this Misadventures book is incredibly fast paced. The conflict and resolution are a tad predictable, but for the theme she creates and develops, they are perfect.Like any Sierra Simone book, the Misadventures of the Curvy Girl is steamy and filled with new ideas to ruminate over, hopefully changing reader perspective on the use of the word fat and to ask woman with insecurities about their weight to look at themselves in a new way and to love themselves for who they are, which is absolutely something I can get behind.

This was a quick novella that involved insta-love. Ireland first meets Caleb and the attraction is immediate. Ireland struggles with self doubt though after the horrible behavior of her ex and her sister. Caleb is already in a relationship with Ben, a war veteran who suffers from PTSD, but they long to have a third person to be with. I was disappointed that there was no sword crossing, despite being told that Caleb and Ben were lovers.The throuple faces challenges with Ben’s PTSD causing problems, and Ireland’s self doubts. They are able to overcome them and have a HEA though.5/5 on the Spicy ScaleFat Shaming (Not by MMC’s)Insta-loveMMFNovellaContemporary
