DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD Sugar Jamison Ellis Garrett is dumping her critical boyfriend, opening a plus-size clothing store, and starting a blog—all to spread the word that fashion shouldn’t require a size-two body, and happiness should allow for the occasional cupcake.

He doesn’t recognize Ellis when he bumps into her at Size Me Up, and he certainly doesn’t remember his ex-girlfriend’s outspoken sister being so irresistible.

This book was okay in the beginning. Until we hit the pub scene where the hero completely disregards the heroines boundaries about food. Her friends tell him that she doesn’t “indulge” on weekdays so he orders dessert nachos and proceeds to run a chocolate covered strawberry over her lips until she eats it.
It is presented as him being accepting if her size and showing her it’s okay to eat what she likes. THAT’S BULLSHIT. He completely ignores her boundary and bullies her into eating something. I am not saying her boundary is a healthy one but it is hers and him trampling it is disrespectful.
I had to stop because this is not acceptance.
