But she&#8217;s sick of low-fat snacks, counting calories, and her hyper-critical mom. Fortunately, her popular new bakery keeps her good and distracted. But there aren&#8217;t enough \u00e9clairs in the world to distract Leah from the hotness that is Sam Cooper &#8211; or the fact that he just told her mother that they&#8217;re engaged . . . which is a big, fat lie.<\/p>\n<p>Sam sometime speaks before he thinks. So what started out as defending Leah&#8217;s date-ability to her judgmental mother soon turned into having a fiancee! Now the plan is to keep up the fake engagement, stay &#8220;just friends,&#8221; and make Leah&#8217;s family loathe him enough to just call the whole thing off . But Sam has an insatiable sweet tooth, not only for Leah&#8217;s decadent desserts but her decadent curves. Her full lips. Her bright green eyes. Yep, things aren&#8217;t going <em>quite<\/em> according to plan. Now Sam has to convince Leah that he&#8217;s for real . . . before their little lie turns into one big, sweet disaster.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"TBR\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/29467963-size-matters\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"Buy Links\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Size-Matters-Perfect-Alison-Bliss\/dp\/1455568023\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473114384&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=size+matters+alison+bliss\">amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"angies review\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I received a paperback ARC for an honest review.\u00a0 Do you know how hard it is to read a paperback and not crease the bindings??\u00a0 TOUGH I TELL YA!!\u00a0 But I did it!!!!<\/p>\n<p>When I saw what the book was about, I was excited.\u00a0 I have read several books by this author so I knew it was gonna crack me up because her books are full of comedy.\u00a0 This book did not disappoint and totally had me laughing out loud over the holiday weekend!!<\/p>\n<p>Leah isn\u2019t a size negative 2.\u00a0 She is a curvy girl who loves herself\u2026kinda\u2026..she loves herself but knows how the outside world, her mom and her ex\u2019s view her &#8211; overweight.\u00a0 When she sees Sam at a bar she is tongue tied when he approaches her but is quickly dismissed by him for small anorexic Barbie.<\/p>\n<p>Sam is over woman\u2026especially crazy ones.\u00a0 When his friend Max begs him to be a wingman to the curvy bombshell he does so.\u00a0 He is stunned at his draw to Leah but is a total dick to her because he cannot get sucked into another crazy relationship.<\/p>\n<p>When Sam pushes himself into Leah\u2019s life trying to be a nice guy he soon over steps and pronounces himself to be her fianc\u00e9e to her mom of all people!!\u00a0 OOPSIE SAM!!\u00a0 Well Leah is a mess.\u00a0 What is she going to do?\u00a0 Well Sam decides on a plan to make her family hate him.

Her writing career may have started out as a dare by one of her sisters, but Alison hasn&#8217;t put her pen down since.<\/p>\n<p>She grew up on a small island off the Texas Gulf Coast, where most of her childhood vacations consisted of camping or hunting trips to the deer lease. Although she&#8217;ll always be a Texan at heart, Alison currently resides in the Midwest with her Iowa farm-boy husband and their two sons. With so much testosterone in her home, it&#8217;s no wonder she writes &#8220;girl books.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s an animal lover, a closet video game enthusiast, and 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&#8217;s obviously meant to be. Alison&#8217;s an avid romance reader who enjoys penning 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, &#8220;Romance&#8230;with a sense of humor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rules of (fake) engagement . . .
