Worth Five Stars,
I almost did not download this book because I thought it was one of those book about the heroine losing weight and then living happily ever after. Well, it was that at first glance, but Worth The Weight (The Worth Series Book 1:The Nice One) is more than that. It’s about second chances, trust, friendship and most of all, love.
After being a Plus size for 12 years, Elizabeth Hampton is finally back to size 10. And for the summer, she is back in her hometown to try out her new body with her high school sweetheart Finn Robbins. But, as the saying “be careful what you wish for, because you might get it,” goes, Lizzie found out she bit more than she could chew. She found Finn alright, and was able to get him to agree for a summer fling. But, Lizzie found herself falling in love with him all over again. And this time, if her plans go awry, it will not be just her heart which will be broken. A few other people could also get hurt.
A heartwarming read; Lizzie and Finn tug at your heartstrings, and so do the plethoria of supporting characters, which by the way, were all written well. You can actually feel their laughter and cry when they hurt. Lizzie and Finn are just so endearing, you can’t help but cheer for them.
And though losing weight took center stage in the story, it was handled with sincerity, honesty and realistically. And, BTW, this is NOT a diet book. No diets were mentioned. It is a romance. And, as I already said, it is also about trust, friendship and forgiveness.
This book is rated PG 15 due to sex scenes.

Really fun premise!,
I really enjoyed this contemporary romance, set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Liz takes her new body back to her old home town to try it out on her first love. The sparks fly fast and furiously but get doused here and there by all the “real life” that has developed around them over the past many years. Still they yearn for one another, and I as a reader yearned right along with them. Hot, steamy, funny, heart wrenching. Once things get going they don’t slow down. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have already bought the next book in the series “Worth the Drive”.

*SPOILERS* Hero needed to do some major grovelling…but never happened,
This is more of a rant, I’d say. Until the last quarter of the book, everything was great.
****SPOILERS*****
Heroine’s plan was to get her teen boyfriend out of her system before pursuing the perfect man. Over the years, she gained a ton & lost a lot of the weight in the past 3 years. She’s still insecure about her naked body & having been burned with a past guy, she wants to test out having naked sex with the one who got away to make sure she’d be desirable naked to the guy she actually thinks of having a relationship with.
With help of her 2 good friends, she finds guy & basically gets into a no strings arrangement for the summer. She discovers guys has 2 children, 1 in dire need of a major operation to walk but hero can’t afford. Heroine goes out of her way to put together a major fundraiser to help hero & his family, pulling all strings to get major athletes to come. At the fundraising, hero overhears her friends talking about heroine’s plan to find, sleep & ditch hero so she can pursue this other guy. Hero is so hurt, goes to confront heroine while said perfect guy is talking to her, and in front of everyone, heroine’s client & other celebrities, dumps her & says sexually humiliating things to her.
I understand hero is hurt, but to confront her in such a terrible way in front of everyone? He didn’t think about all the work she did to help him and his family, of how his words not only embarass her, but could cause potential disaster for her company, her livelihood. I was thinking, “man, you have some major grovelling to get back in her good graces.” Never happened! The story ends with the heroine STILL wanting to help the hero by being his first customer, under an assumed name, buys him his favorite horse that he had to sell, basically giving it back to him. And all he says is he wants to marry her. Not only did hero not grovel, it looked like the heroine grovelled herself for him to take her back! No! No! No!
Needless to say, the ending horribly ruined it for me & though I tried hard, I cannot get myself to click more stars. Hero should have grovelled, his children should have done something to get her back. After all she did for them, over $100,000 she raised so the brat of a kid to get an operation, no word from anybody to thank her for her hard work, no flowers, no nothing! Especially the hero! Yeah, she hurt you, but couldn’t you still send a generic thank-you card for all she’s done? They’re all an ungrateful bunch, heroine did not deserve to marry into that family. I could envision the epilogue: heroine still being a giving person, a freakin’ doormat, still doing things to make hero & his kids happy while they don’t do crap for her.
