They called him Big for more than one reason. Big I had everything I could want in life. My own career, a house with property, and respect in my community. But what I didn’t have was her. Landry. Owner of the town’s cleaning service. For five long years, I’d pined after her. I watched her from afar, thought only about her, hell, fantasized about Landry when I was alone. And for five years, I’d … when I was alone. And for five years, I’d stayed celibate, because Landry was the only woman I wanted in my life in every way.
My self-control when it came to her should have won me a medal, but that tightly reined in desire had slipped and I was done holding myself back.
So I told her I needed her help—her talents in making my place livable. What she didn’t know was it was just to get her to my place, to tell her, show her she was always meant to be mine.
Landry
When I realized it was Big who wanted my services, I didn’t know if I could go through with it. I loved him, had for years, but I was inexperienced in all things romantic, so being honest and just telling him how I felt wasn’t an option. But when I found myself in his home… with him watching me, I knew I’d fail miserably at trying to act like I didn’t want him.
And when things come on hard and fast, I know there’s no going back. I’m about to give Big every part of myself, including my virginity, but then again, I know that’s what he wants.
Me, in his life, as his. Forever.

Such a Big softy
I truly enjoy each new book in this series. Each book is short and steamy, the guys are alpha males with a sensitive side, and the ladies love their men. Big is the perfect alpha male and I love that the author made him human by showing his insecurity and fear of rejection. Landry is super sweet and innocent, the perfect match for Big. It might have taken them a while to get together, but once they do the sparks fly. I can’t wait to read the next Real Men installment from the author.
Style: Romance

Enjoyment: 4/5
Series: BOOK 20
I have not read all the books in the, A Real Man series, but this story was short and sweet. Can I just say, Big was so sweet, I can feel myself getting cavities. I actually felt an intense build up and anticipation towards Big and Landry prior to them meeting. I felt like Big is what you think of when you think of a real man in a simple way.
Overall, short quick read. Probably deserves an eye roll for how quickly everything happen. But I don’t care Big and Landry’s story gives you that awww feel.
***I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s definitely about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the stories you read. I hope this review was helpful.
Loved Big and Landry. For the past 5 years, he has wanted her but was too scared to act upon it until he couldn’t take it anymore. Their attraction and chemistry was so good. It was fun watching Big finally get his girl. They were so good together. If you are looking for a quick instalove romance then this is the book for you. You won’t be disappointed after you done with this story. Highly recommend it.
Oh I absolutely loved this book… could not get enough of these two.. wanted more
For 5 years now both Landry and Beckett “Big” have been fantasizing and craving each other at a distance.. both to scared and nervous to make a move on the other. Big makes the decision to hire Landry to clean his house, this way she will be closer to him and in his house.
Big is a short story about a man named Big. He’s so named because of his physical size in all ways. Big has a crush on local businesswoman Landry who owns her own house and business cleaning service. But what Big doesn’t know is that Landry has a crush on him as well.
This short and steamy romance goes through Big and Landry as they dance around each other then finally get together. There’s no drama, or anyone trying to break our couple apart, just a couple that has finally gotten together after 5 years, It’s about time.
BIG IS A REAL MAN
More than likely, if you are a fan of the hot little novella, you already know the name, Jenika Snow, and, like me, you one-click her books, before you even know what they are about…Plus her covers are always hot…Well, BIG is no exception…
Beckett (Big) Hardin is a BIG man…in every way…and he’s been pining for five years for the “new girl” in town, but, as big and as imposing as Big is, he has been too worried about the rejection to make his move….But five years is long enough, so that’s going to end…He’s decided what move he’s going to make and calls The Soapy Bucket Cleaning Company…
Landry Shepherd has only been in Stone Creek for five years, and she already has a successful cleaning service, but the only other thing she wants is Big, and she’s too nervous to make the first move….When he calls her to “clean his house,” his move is made…and after he gets her there, a clean house is the last thing on either of their minds….
Big and Landry have been crushing on each other for years but never let the other know. Five years of sexual tension until they finally broke and now there’s no turning back. This is a sweet story about two people who were meant to be together. This is the first book I’ve read in the Real Men series and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

So happy to have another real man story! I really enjoy this series and I think this is one of my favorites. Big and Landry sizzled together. You could feel it coming off the pages. Super sweet and steamy.
This book by Jenika was amazing. Big and Landry were meant to be together and the stars aligned at the right time for them. So happy these two finally realized that they were each others halves. Beautifully written with a hea.
I really enjoyed this story. It had me smiling a lot. Loved how both of them fell in instalove, but didn’t say anything for 5 years.
Big has everything he wants in life, except for one thing. Landry. Landry has a cleaning service in town and he has been fantasizing about her being his for 5 years. He hasn’t dated or been with another woman since he saw Landry. Big has some major self-control, but he needs to tell her how he feels, before he loses it. He decides to have her come out to his house to clean so that he can have her to himself and hopefully, they can talk.
Landry has been in love with Big since she moved to town 5 years ago. She wants to tell him how she feels, but is worried about how Big will react. She is innocent and trying to talk to him is hard enough. She wants to be in his life and she wants to be his. Hopefully he feels the same way.
Really loved this couple. Very little angst and it resolves quickly. Loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Will Big ever get Landry forever
This is a quick read that Jenika has you quickly enveloped in the unrequited love between Landry and Big. Each is attracted to the other but each is too reticent to take the next step. That is until they aren’t. Overall a sweet, enjoyable read!
