"Redneck Casanova" After a disastrous marital near-miss Jade Ballard retreats to San Antonio, cutting herself off from the world in general and more specifically her family’s country club lifestyle, which she no longer wants any part of. She takes comfort in food and eventually, the safety of an internet love affair.
"Miss Snooty Pants" Rowdy Yates is a semi-reformed womanizer who’s leery of long-term entanglements. Until Jade, he never seriously considered anything beyond a “Wife-For-A-Night.” After months of flirting on the internet the couple meets, only to discover they already know one another.
Rowdy has always mistaken Jade’s shy reserved nature for snobbishness, and Jade has always viewed the woman-loving Rowdy as a Redneck Casanova. But the months they spent getting to know one another formed an attraction neither can fight.
Warning: This book contains cookie consumption, shopping, rants about bras, lost bras, stolen bras, a fake engagement, hawt sexy times, and a snooty plus-sized chick who falls hard for her Redneck Casanova.
Every once in a while, a book catches my eye and I just know I’ll fall in love with it. Those are the kind of books you want to give more than five stars. The Big Girl’s Guide to Buying Lingerie is one of those books for me.
Jade is a beautiful, but sorta shy big girl. Rowdy is a reformed player who thinks he might have found the perfect gal for him. Problem one, they’ve been communicating online for seven months and have no idea they already know each other. Problem two, they don’t particularly like each other. Rowdy thinks Jade is beautiful, but stuck-up. Jade thinks Rowdy flirts with anything then takes them home. This brings home the fact that first opinions can be deceiving.
As a bigger gal myself, I have struggled with many of the feelings Jade experienced throughout the novel, even bra shopping horrors. I laughed more than I cried with Jade’s antics which were plenty. I fell hard for Rowdy and his protective nature. Nothing’s better than a strong cowboy who will stand up for the ladies in his life.
This novel has more than a few twists, hella hotness, and some good old fashion cowboy charm. If you crave a love story with a lot a laughs and a sexy southern boy, this novel is for you!
