girls don't cry. They go after what they want.
Thanks
to her bangin' curves, Valerie Carmichael has always turned heads-with the
exception of seriously sexy Logan Mathis. Just Valerie's luck that the object
of her lust-filled affection is also best friends with her overprotective
brother. But Valerie's determined to get Logan's attention . . . even if it
means telling a teeny little lie to get a job at his new bar.
Logan
can't remember a time when Valerie didn't secretly fuel all his hottest
fantasies. Now the curvaceous she-devil is working behind his bar, tempting him
every damn night. It's only when he finds Valerie's naughty things-to-do list
that Logan decides to break every rule in the book-by making each red-hot deed
a reality.
No
one warned them that they were going to fall this hard. And no one warned them
that sometimes the smallest secrets can have the biggest consequences.
Valerie
and Logan have been attracted to each other for years, but nothing ever came of
it because of an age difference between the two and Valerie’s over-protected
brother, who just happened to be Logan’s best friend. Eight years later, Logan is back in town and
that attraction from so long ago cannot be contained and the sparks that had
started years before finally explode into a raging inferno that can not be denied.
Oh,
my gosh! On the Plus Side was absolutely amazing y’all! I knew I was going to like this series after
reading Size Matters, but now, I am
hooked and totally in love. I liked
Valerie when she was introduced in the last book, but her character totally
shined in this installment and I believe that is what made this story so
amazing. Valerie has so much confidence
in herself and doesn’t back down from anything….well, maybe her brother Brent. And
Logan? I totally fell in love with
him. Although he had a tendency to turn
all cave-man-like (which was totally hot by the way!), he had a heart of gold
that was just too sweet.
There
is so much to like in this story. Alison
Bliss has created characters that many of us can relate too and doesn’t sugar
coat anything. Her characters and their
situations are real which makes this story flow so effortlessly. With humor, drama and steamy sex scenes, this
book has it all and was truly a delight to read.
Right
from the start, I knew that this was going to be a fun story, and I was not
disappointed. I simply adored this
book! It was such a cute story that had
me laughing out loud throughout. On the Plus Side had just the right
amount of humor and passion which made this a highly enjoyable read. Alison Bliss has a true talent for creating
amazing stories that readers will instantly connect too. On the Plus Side could be read as a stand-alone, but if you haven't already, I urge you to pick up Size Matters. This is such a fun series that I know fans of contemporary romance will fall in love with it.
Overall,
this was an amazing story that I couldn’t put down – wonderful from start to
finish. I can’t wait to see what comes
next!
5 stars
Valerie Carmichael needed a drink. A strong
one. Because it was the only way she envisioned herself getting through the
night.
An elbow nudged
into her side, bringing her thoughts back to the crowded bar. “I can’t see
anything through all of these people,” Brett said, scanning the room with his
eyes. “Come on, let’s go to the other side so I can get a better view.”
Sighing, Valerie trudged behind him without
a word.
When Brett had asked her to attend the
grand opening of Bottoms Up, a new bar in their hometown of Granite, Texas,
she’d hesitated to say yes. Sure, she was curious what the inside of the
recently remodeled bar looked like and had no doubt the place would be
jam-packed with handsome, available men. But it was still the last place on earth
she wanted to be.
She knew better than to hang out in bars
with her older and only—thank God—brother. Every time she’d
done so in the past, the nights had always ended the same way. Brett would
spend the entire evening hovering over her like a rabid pit bull, daring any
single guy with a glint in his eye to look her way. Because Valerie turned
heads. She always had.
Oh, she wasn’t silly enough to believe she
looked like some gorgeous supermodel with a lean, trim figure or anything. She
definitely didn’t. But she had a pretty face, banging plus-size curves, and a
lively personality. And that was good enough for her. Valerie was just…Valerie.
And damn proud of it.
Across the room, Sam and Leah emerged from
the dense crowd, with a beer bottle for him and a glass of water for her.
Apparently, Leah was still on that damn diet and counting calories so she would
fit into her wedding dress. Though why she didn’t just buy the dress in a
larger size was beyond Valerie.
Leah blinked at the sight of her. “Val?
What are you doing here? You said you weren’t coming.”
Valerie shrugged. “I changed my mind.”
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Yeah, sure. Why?”
“When you said you didn’t want to go out, I
assumed you were sick. You never turn down a night out.” Leah
placed her palm lightly against Valerie’s forehead. “You sure you don’t have
the flu or something?”
Valerie laughed and pushed her friend’s
hand away. “Oh, stop it. I just didn’t feel like getting dressed up. I’m
getting tired of the whole bar scene.”
Then Valerie’s heart stopped, along with
her lips. Oh
God.
Brett stood there talking to a tall,
dark-haired man who had one thumb hooked in the front pocket of his jeans while
he leaned comfortably against the wall with his right shoulder. She couldn’t
see the other guy’s face, but she didn’t need to. Valerie recognized all six
feet, two inches of him. Logan Mathis.
THE A
PERFECT FIT SERIES
Alison Bliss grew up in Small Town,
Texas, but currently resides in the Midwest with her husband and two sons. With
so much testosterone in her home, it's no wonder she writes "girl
books." She believes the best way to know if someone is your soul
mate is by canoeing with them because if you both make it back alive, it's
obviously meant to be. Alison pens the type of books she loves to read
most: fun, steamy love stories with heart, heat, laughter, and usually a cowboy
or two. As she calls it, "Romance...with a sense of humor."
