Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoy this steamy BBW series by USA TODAY Bestselling small town romance author Mary E Thompson. When everyone knows everyone in a small town, dating is not always easy. Online dating is the way to go for these friends. This box set contains three full length contemporary romances about falling in love with someone you never saw coming. His Curvy Frustration Trinity met James the day she moved to town. And hated him since. But when she needs someone, he doesn’t hesitate to show up and be there for her. Showing her, and others, a kindness she’d never seen. Maybe there’s more to him than she ever expected. His Curvy Gift Piper is not interested in a relationship. Her last one was an epic failure, and she’s content being single. Gavin is only in town for a little while, so he’s perfect for a holiday fling. But when their fling starts to feel a little too real, Piper knows she made a mistake all over again. And this time, she might not recover from a broken heart. His Curvy Outcast Willow has absolutely no one in her corner. She can’t blame anyone else, but it still hurts. Getting a ticket is just the icing on the cake of everything going to hell, even though the cop is hot. Rowan has never cared about someone’s reputation, only about the truth behind who a person is. And he has a hard time believing Willow is as bad as the whole town seems to think she is. He wants to find out exactly who she is. If she’ll let him.

Online dating was supposed to be a favor to a friend, but their matches are frighteningly perfect, on screen and off. His Curvy Friend The last place Ian wants to be is stuck in the friend zone, but that's exactly where he's been for years with Blake. He made a promise to a friend he would admit to Blake how he feels, and as the date gets closer, and his connection with Blake starts to feel like more than just a friendship, Ian goes all in. His Curvy Wife Ramsey did not want to walk out on his wife, but he feared it was the only way to protect her. It was the only way to keep her safe. Until he finds out she's ready to move on with her life without him. Starting over isn't easy, but maybe it's the only way they can find each other again. His Curvy Treat Colin was not looking for everyone in his new small town home to know everything about him. Or for them to all try to get a date. Too bad for him the only woman he wants a date with turned him down flat. Not once, but twice. Colin isn't giving up so easily, not when something tells him Elise is worth it.

Book excerpt: Curvy Girl Romance Series - USA Today Bestselling contemporary romance author Was love really enough? Ramsey Walking out was the hardest thing I’d ever done. I promised her I’d never do it, but I also promised I’d keep her safe. That was the promise I couldn’t keep if I stayed. I wouldn’t risk her life or her health, so I risked my own heart and walked away. But she was ready to move on. To meet someone else. To find a new man who’d be willing to put what she wanted above keeping her safe. A new man who’d put his hands on my wife. Love her. Touch her. Hell. No. She was still mine. Melody I’ve only ever loved one man. One gorgeous, maddening, wonderful man. I even managed to marry him. I thought we’d be together forever, but everything changed when I lost our baby. Instead of being his wife and lover, I was his new project. Something to fix. I didn’t need to be fixed, though. I couldn’t be. I needed my husband, but he wasn’t there. Some other man was there. A man who stopped seeing me and only saw a fragile, wounded woman he had to shelter. But it was all over. My husband left me. He couldn’t fix me, so he stopped trying. He told me he wanted a divorce, and I had no reason to make him stay. We weren’t the people we used to be. I still loved him, but, as much as I wanted it to be, sometimes love wasn’t enough. And sometimes life threw you a curve. Like being paired with my husband on an online dating site. Could it be as easy as starting over?

His Curvy Genius Xavier walked away years ago after making plans with Karissa. Forever kind of plans. Karissa moved back to her small town, the one Xavier refused to move to, and built her life. But every man was measured against her first love. Then Xavier’s best friend marries Karissa’s best friend, and Xavier and his daughter move to MacKellar Cove. Avoiding him is impossible, and resisting his is even harder. His Curvy Fantasy If hate at first sight was a thing, Anna felt it for her son’s boss, Hudson.

But when Hudson shows her he’s not who she thought, everything she fought against is standing in front of her. And Anna is not foolish enough to say no.

Women who could give him kids and a future and all the things Goldie had in the fourteen years difference between them. But Patrick’s not giving up on her, or on them, no matter what is thrown their way to try to end their relationship before they can make it official.

Book excerpt: Curvy Girl Romance Series - USA Today Bestselling contemporary romance author Who falls in love with their little sister's best friend? Ian Being stuck in the friend-zone sucked. I was done. Blake had been single long enough, and if I didn’t make a move, she’d get together with the wrong man again. Because the right one was me. Luck was definitely on my side. An online dating site paired us up. It was an opportunity to show her the side of me she didn’t know. The side who wasn’t interested in a fling with half the women in town. The side who wanted something serious and lasting. With her. I thought about confessing. Telling her that I was the guy she was sharing her secrets with. But keeping my online identity a secret meant she talked to me. Really talked to me. It was worth the risk. Blake was worth any risk. Blake Getting dumped sucked. Getting dumped because he thought I was in love with my best friend’s older brother was ludicrous. I did not have a thing for Ian. Yeah, we shared a hotel room when we went to Hawaii, but nothing happened. I mean, I walked in on him right after he got out of the shower. Water running down his chest. Hair slicked back from his face. That stormy look in his eyes. And the rock, hard… Ahem, anyway. No, I did not have a thing for him. We were friends. That was it. No one needed to know I still dreamed about what would have happened if I’d closed that door with me on the inside instead of the outside. It was never going to happen. Ever.

Not fall fast and hard for the one who makes them crazy, in every way possible. This box set contains three full length contemporary romances about loving yourself enough to know you deserve the best possible match. His Curvy Nurse Laura moved to MacKellar Cove to work for Nico. She never expected to fall for her stubborn, sexy, and oblivious boss. Too bad he barely knows she exists. Or that’s how it seems. Nico is having a harder time keeping his attraction to Laura in check. When both turn to online dating to get over each other, they’re paired together, and all bets are off. His Curvy Ex Zoey fell hard and fast for Sebastian when she was a teenager. Promises were made, and broken, and a lifetime passed. But now she’s back. It’s temporary, but it’s enough to throw the two of them together over and over again. Sebastian hates her for breaking his heart, but he can’t seem to resist her, or her kids. Is moving on possible with the one person you’re trying to move on from? His Curvy Craving The last thing Finley needed was a complication. That was why she agreed to meet the sexy stranger. It was anonymous, and hot, and not supposed to be more than harmless fun. Telling a man whose name she didn’t know that’s he was going to be a father was definitely the most awkward thing ever. Trent is sure she’s lying. Trying to trap him. She found out who he was and is trying to lay claim to his fortune. Joke’s on her. He’s not falling for it. Or her.

The next morning, her bubble is shattered by his loud mouth, and Marisa retaliates with a stiletto and a remote.

And just like him, she can't refuse. Will her worst nightmare and his complicated past ruin what they're building, or can they lean on one another to make it through?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grab some hot cocoa (and a glass of ice water) and celebrate Christmas with two curvy girl romances! Ample & Alluring I hate Christmas. I know that’s harsh, but all the fake, happy families and people letting the pressure of a perfect holiday get to them really got to me. The one thing making it easier is Mayor Wyatt Ramsey. We’re friends, and he decided to make it his mission to change my mind about his favorite holiday. I am less than confident in his skills, but his excitement is more than a little contagious. Just like his kisses. And his touches. And the sexy looks that make me hot. Falling for Christmas is easy. Falling for Wyatt is, too. But not everything is so easy. Like finding out I’m pregnant… His Curvy Gift Gavin Spending the holidays with my aunt in her small town would have made me insanely happy as a kid. As an adult, I’d outgrown the idea of settling down in a small town and enjoyed my city life. The month I was staying would go fast and I’d be back to normal before I knew it. I hoped. Then I met the curvy server. The one who handled the overly friendly customers with ease and ignored me just as seamlessly. Walking her home at the end of the night felt normal, almost like I could belong there. First, I had to get over everyone knowing everything. But there were perks. Like running in to Piper again. And getting matched with her on an online dating app. Piper Online dating worked for me. I was not looking for more than one night. Relationships and me didn’t mix. I was good with that. But there were always times when I didn’t want to be quite so alone. Like during the holidays. Gavin was different than most of the men I knew. He said we could be friends. He didn’t try for anything more. He said he’s leaving after the holidays and not looking to get involved. He has a life, and it’s not in my small town. So when he asks me to spend the holidays pretending to be dating him, I go along with it. But every fake relationship has to include kisses, and gentle touches, and nights spent between the sheets. I let myself trust him. I let myself believe he was different. I almost let myself fall for him. Never mind. I fell. I just hope he can catch me.
