Dirk And Autumn Both Feel Something When They Meet, But Neither Recognizes What Those Feelings Are. Their Story Is Light And Sweet With A Dose Of Humor And Steam.
Dirk R. Sexton, roughly thirty, works for his hard-to-please father. He runs several family-owned radio stations, working out of WQRK, Quirk-99 radio station in Indianapolis. His father claims Dirk has no business sense, that he is too preoccupied with women to properly mentor and lead his staff. Dirk simply believes that his father no longer remembers what it is like to be young and verile. His father went so far as to implement a no-fraternization policy, which might have bothered Dirk not long ago. Now, however, women have become boring. They all look the same – tall and thin with model-like looks – and they all have the same dull personalities. Dirk is ready for a commitment, but only with the right woman, and he isn’t having any luck finding her.
Autumn Dey, twenty-five, works at a 900 call-in service under the name Ramona. She perfected a sexy southern accent for the role. The online profile her potential clients see more closely resembles her fraternal twin and best friend Summer. Summer is a willowy blonde with blue eyes, a former cheerleader. Men flock to her, and she goes from relationship to relationship, always the one to break up when she eventially becomes bored. She never second guesses herself. Her self-confidence serves her well; she makes a killing in pharmaceutical sales.
Autumn, in contrast, isn’t as tall and has brown hair and eyes. She is big-boned with curves and was captain of the debate team. While she can be spunky and opinionated, she is also cautious, often observing rather than participating when in social settings. Her one advantage is her voice, something she has honed and perfected over the years. She majored in Communications in college, but somehow ended up working the 900 line. It happens to pay quite well, although it isn’t the kind of job she talks openly about. Her clients are mostly horny, yet many call out of sheer loneliness. In those instances she, as Ramona, functions more like a therapist. She listens, gives her support, and offers advice.
Autumn wants more. She wants to put her degree to work doing something that she can take pride in. When she sees that WQRK is looking for someone to take the midnight to three shift for a new call-in show called “Midnight Caller,” she jumps at the opportunity to audition. She lands the job on the spot, but what surprises her more is that she recognizes her handsome new boss’s voice and matches him to her new client, Roland. The lonely but very shallow playboy that started calling Ramona recently – and is a newbie to using 900 numbers.
When Dirk hires Autumn, he knows her talent will make “Midnight Caller” a huge hit, thereby proving his worth to his father. Autumn makes Dirk feel something strange but she isn’t his type, and besides that, there is that no-fraternization rule. So when he sees Autumn’s twin sister, who happens to be exactly his type, he doesn’t think too much about it before asking her out.
Dirk and Autumn both feel something when they meet, but neither recognizes what those feelings are. Dirk doesn’t recognize his attraction to Autumn initially because she doesn’t conform to his type. Out of habit, he dismisses the idea of being attracted to her. Autumn fails to recognize it because of her lack of self-confidence and because of Dirk’s conversations with Ramona, which don’t exactly paint him as a good catch. Even when they feel the stirrings jealousy, Dirk and Autumn are hesitant to recognize it for what it really is. But when things finally change in a fiery explosion of pent up energy, the issue of Autumn’s side gig as Ramona threatens to put a real damper on their relationship. The couple eventually earns their happy ending.
Dirk and Autumn’s story is light and sweet with a dose of humor and steam. It is well-written. The plot is fairly simple. The characters are nicely developed. It is written in first person. The POV alternates between Dirk and Autumn. I rate this book four stars.
Such a wonderful book. Had me laughing so hard and some parts then crying at others.
This BBW Rom-com is hilarious, one woman two personalities both feisty, loving and endearing. I highly recommend this audible book if your looking for a wonderful, story,
low angst, no pressure just cute, sweet and fun.
Kudos Andrea to date this is my favorite.
Gabrielle and Alexander’s narration was perfect.
This is a fair and honest review
This made me laugh a lot! Such an adorable story with a very good motivational message behind it. I loved the characters and the narrators did a fantastic job. Loved it!
What a realistic vibe for a fictional novel. I loved how relatable Autumn was. And, Dirk, he was a riot on top of hotness. I devoured this spicy romance in one sitting!
Dirk falls for the right twin! Autumn’s boss is dating her twin Summer, and as always the chubby sister has to watch it all go down, until… it all changes when Dirk gets his head on straight. I loved this story and the characters with a HEA!
All of Me
By: Andrea Smith
Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Gabrielle Cendese
All of Me is a breath of fresh air. A romantic comedy with a sizzling couple had me laughing and falling in love. Autumn has always been the curvy twin, feeling more comfortable behind the scenes, she has a late night radio show giving her callers sage advice. Dirk, her boss knows she is the show everyone loves and he finds himself attracted to her. He knows work and play shouldn’t mix, but he can’t help himself. But she holds a secret that if exposed can ruin them both. What will happen when the lies are exposed? Andrea Smith masterfully weaves a story that had me laughing out loud, gave me a realistic woman with real life issues and a sizzling hot couple. It’s fun and flirty and the perfect listen.
Alexander and Gabrielle Cendese team up together to give us a performance to remember. The two have a natural chemistry to bring realism to the narration and their comedic timing is spot on. This is one you do not want to miss.

This was a little different read from what I’ve read in the past from Andrea Smith, and she did NOT disappoint.
All of Me was sexy, funny, and spoke to me on a personal level since I’m a full figured woman.
I loved and truly enjoyed this book. I saw myself through Autumn, although she is funny, sexy and charming. I loved her relationship with her sister, reminds me a little of how my sister and I are as well.
This was an easy, fun read which I highly recommend if you love BBW romance.
This is a funny story of a man Dirt Sexton who thinks he is God’s gift to women, only when he has a date with his new employees’ sister and Summer sees him they think they are really going to hit it off only she is not happy with him and he is so dissatisfied with her but things don’t seem to work out and Dirk’s friend Heath hits it off with his new employee Autumn aka (Ramona) and it strikes him as weird that he seems to be interested in the fat sister because she has such a bubbly personality and his best friend is very interested. Summer is so beautiful and he just needs to get her in his bed and she would come around but Summer is not so eager as he is. Summer finds she has no interest in Dirk after their date and tells her twin to let him know, but about the same time he realizes he really likes her twin better. Hilarious. Wonderful funny Characters. I purchased this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Being a big girl I related to Autumn and her insecurities that surfaced. The one thing she didn’t let it do is diminish her confidence. In my opinion Andrea Smith seems to be able to make Autumn relatable. As much as I liked Autumn I didn’t like Dirk. I didn’t find anything likable about him and I’m not so sure he redeemed himself. I found humor in the relationships between and Autumn and Summer and Dirk and Heath. As opposite as they all were there was still common things between them. I enjoyed this book. I read on Kindle Unlimited.
OMG I don’t even know where to begin with this book. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I have seriously fallen in live with her writing style and they way she made the words flow. I’m lost for words in how to explain what this book did to my heart and soul. Being a 900 call girl has been fun for Autumn because she loves changing her voice and being able to make a difference in others lives. When she goes to interview for the Midnight Caller she knows this is her dream job. Little did she know that her boss was the one and only Roland she spoke to the night before she doesn’t know what to do. Dirk is a handsome fella that can make any girl swoon. It’s hilarious that you can tell these men are swoon worthy with just a few words. Each and every encounter these two characters had you could tell they were meant for each other. Summer her twin sister almost ruined it but I was glad to see her find her happily ever after with Heath. When Dirk finds out Autumn is Ramona both their lives turn upside down and we don’t know if there will be an Autumn and Dirk at the end. Thank god Dirk Sr had some sense in him. Get this book now you will not be disappointed when you read this!!
I voluntarily read this book and I am leaving my honest review!

Autumn has a twin sister, Summer. Autumn is a beautiful, full figured and secure lady, meanwhile Summer is toned and considered a looker.
This was a page turning, non-stop and fast paced romance. Lot’s of surprises, especially for Dirk! I so enjoyed this story line, the setting, and the characters.
Another 5 Star 🙂
This is the first book I have read from this author and I loved it! The interactions between Dirk and Autumn were fun to watch and the way they came together was perfect. I liked how he never really thought that she would be for him but in just being her fun, fabulous self – he realized what he was missing! Definitely worth a read if you are looking for a good story with just the right amount of heat!
All of Me by Andrea Smith is a BBW Romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Alexander Cendese and Gabrielle Cendese.
I just love Andrea’s books! I loved that the story went between Dirk and Autumn’s point of views. It really brings the story to life.
Alexander and Gabrielle did an amazing job on the narration. They really brought the story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their projects in the future.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Romance, BBW Romance, or Romantic Comedies.
This story by Andrea Smith is hilarious. Dirk and Autumn ‘s banter is so much fun to listen to. Many laugh out loud moments. ” Crabs , crabs, why didn’t you tell me you have crabs!” Do I need to see a doctor?” Lol , Autumn had hermit crabs for pets. but that misinterpretation was so funny. Add in some drama, hot sex, and fun. I was laughing with tears.. Gabrielle and Alexander Cendese are phenomenal narrators.Their abilities to keep up with this fast paced book, all the different characters and voices, made this a very enjoyable story to listen to. I was gifted this audiobook and offering my honest review.
Wow! I absolutely loved listening to this book. You have your romance, but also some comedy and drama mixed in as well which makes it for a perfect listen. Writing was done beautifully!
