Undeniably over-the-top but Mark and Amber have some serious heat going on. The bulk of this story takes place over about a 24 hour period of time. It may be unlikely but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun to read. Hehehe…. I enjoyed this as part of the Craving Her Curves collection.
This is a quick Insta list to love read. A curvy girl down on her looks joins a gym to lose the weight others make her think she needs to lose. Mark the trainer, older but sees her for beauty she is. Their connection is instant, but when others start to poke holes in her self-esteem Amber almost gets their love up. Good little read
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

This is the great story of Amber and Mark. Amber is caving into the pressure around her to join a gym and lose weight. She’s really nervous to meet her new personal trainer and she is not expecting to have her breathtaking away before the exercises start. Her new trainer is a Greek God, how will she hide her reaction to him? Mark was starting work with a new client, he was not expecting such a beauty. He has to have her. He had to make her his. How to go about it without scaring her away? The characters are genuine, real and authentic. The storyline is sweet, passionate, and heartbreaking. Great read

**Littler Spoiler** Amber decides that she needs to lose wait to keep people from talking about and judging her. What she doesn’t expect is for her new trainer Mark to be hot. The chemistry is instant and sparks fly instantly. As a plus sized girl myself, I can empathize with Amber, but you have to learn to love yourself and screw everyone else. I like Amber and Mark, but what I wasn’t a fan of was their instant love. Exchanging I love yous hours after meeting? Proposing marriage on the next day? You haven’t known each other a full 24 hours yet. That’s extremely too fast for me. I would’ve loved to see their relationship develop over time. I’m all for instalove after maybe two weeks or more, but an hour or two is a stretch for me. But the story was written fell with few errors. Also, not sure why isn’t called Gingerbread. Maybe it’s a reference to her red hair.

His sweet, spicy woman……..His Gingerbread
Gingerbread is a lovely, sweet and very deliciously hot and sexy short story about Amber Cline and Mark Evans. She is twenty-two years old, a beautiful curvy red head who is a graphic designer. Mark is forty years old, a “sex-on-a-stick” and handsome personal trainer. Amber is tired of people around her giving her the side eye and making comments about her size 14 curves, which she is more than happy with. So she decides she needs to lose weight so people will leave her alone when she wants to eat a burger, drink a beer or have dessert. Her trainer turns out to be a “God”, aka Mark. He takes one look at her and all he can think is “I need to make her mine and now”. He admires her curves and wants to run his hands all over them, along with taste every inch of her. He is nice and supportive to Amber, even telling her to tell other people to f-off when they say anything to her. After their first training session they end up getting a bit busy in his office during their “debrief”. But he wants to make sure their first time is right and takes her back to his place where he most definitely makes her his woman, multiple times over for the rest of the day and night. There is some drama the next day when Amber overhears something at the gym as she is waiting for Mark for their lunch date. But Mark tracks her down and gets everything sorted out, completely laying claim to her for all to see.
I enjoyed losing myself in this short story for a little bit. It was an easy read but had nice emotion, a bit of drama, some very hot and steamy sex scenes and a wonderful Epilogue. My only small complaint is that it could use one more round with a proofreader but there was nothing too bad, just a couple of times I was scratching my head to figure out what was meant. As this is the first book in a new series by Erin Havoc I look forward to reading the next when it is available.
Amber is tired of all the comments about her size because she isn’t skin and bones so she signs up for personal training at a gym. When she sees her personal trainer Mark, it’s love at first sight. She is impressed with his honesty and the way he doesn’t put her weight down but tells her she is the perfect size. He designs a training session to tone rather than lose weight.
Mark can’t believe that he is to train Amber who is the perfect woman and whom he is in love with. He can’t believe that at nearly forty he has found his one. He knows that after their first training session that he needs to make her his. Mark takes her to his apartment and learns that Amber has saved herself for him. She is a virgin. They spend the afternoon and all night showing each other how much they love the other person and then Amber has to go to work.
Amber is to meet Mark for lunch but overhearing the receptionist and another client talking about her and Mark and the client saying how he will go out with her rather than the fat girl he is currently seeing. Amber is hurt and leaves to go to work. She ignores his calls and then learns that he is in reception looking for her. She goes downstairs and then he hugs her and then asks her to marry him. They have their happily ever after.

Strenuous workout was what Amber was afraid of when enrolling at the gym. She knew she was healthy she’ll have any medical issues but because of the nonchalant body shaming that others have thrust upon her she thought that she should go in and maybe see a trainer to see how she can make a difference. Mark the trainer comes in and is taken to her like a moth to a flame. He’s going through the training with her the first day I can barely keep his hands off of her even though he supposed to to make sure that she is using the right posture. Declaration of love seems to be soon coming. Nice and shorts with a little bit of kissing in the story.

Amber has heard all her life that size matters. She’s at the gym cause she’s tired of what people say and imply. Mark, her personal trainer, steps in the gym and sees Amber and decides that she’s is what he’s been waiting for his whole life. In just one day they are both in love. (I know that instant love happens but I’ve never seen it.) It was fun when Amber tell Olivia off. Short story and to the point. Has some steam in it also.

I really liked this story. Mark and Amber were great characters.
Amber has never had a problem with her size. She is healthy and loves her curves. Then she lands her dream job and her coworkers start picking at her about her size and what she eats. She decides to go ahead and sign up at a gym, but immediately feels like she shouldn’t have gone to the gym. Then, she sees Mark and is wowed!
Mark is Amber’s personal trainer. He’s older than her and tries to tell himself to stay professional. But his eyes keep being drawn to Amber and all he can think about is making her his.
Loved how supportive of Amber, Mark was. He gave lots of positive reinforcement so that she knew that he felt that she was perfect the way she was. Thought it was great that with Mark doing that, Amber started to gain more confidence. Loved their happy ever after. I definitely recommend reading this book.

Another insta love, older man younger woman story from Ms.Havoc that stresses the fact that curvy women are every bit as desirable as our thin counterparts. And the men who appreciate those curves are not deviants with some type of fetish. In this case, our young woman is Amber, a businesswoman with curves who is made to feel less than by her colleagues. She signs up for a gym membership with a personal trainer. The older, very fit and very hot personal trainer is Mark, and he is that personal trainer who cannot resist her curves. I enjoyed this book as much as the others in this series.

Curvy Amber Cline just got her dream job as a Graphic Designer, but her co-workers have been making comments that pretty much shamed her into heading for the gym to get in shape and lose some weight. As she walks through the gym toward her personal trainer’s office, everyone stares at her as if she has no business in a gym. When she meets handsome and fit Mark Evans, her personal trainer, he tries to tell her she is fantastic just the way she is. But when someone is insecure over a perceived fault, especially concerning weight that others keep pointing out, they are not likely to believe that the way they are is “fine”. So he works with her on her goals. But by the time she is nearing the end of the exercises, she wants to go home and cancel her membership. Being around Mark is just too difficult. She can’t concentrate, and she wants him! And she would swear that he seems to want her too! He knows that he needs to let her know what he feels for her. As hard as it is for her to believe, each of them has found the one they have always been looking for.
Mark and Amber agree to meet for lunch and she arrives a bit early. A woman walks in and tells the receptionist that according to Instagram, Mark is finally dating! Now she’s finally have a chance, she says! But her explanation of that comment to the receptionist rips out Amber’s heart as the woman says it won’t be long until he tosses the fat girl out and then she’ll make her move on him. All of Amber’s insecurities come back in a rush as she realizes a hot guy like he is doesn’t date someone like her. Will she give up on their relationship? Will she walk away and never look back?
Insecurities are so hard to overcome. The author does a good job of letting the reader feel the turmoil that Amber goes through from the joy of getting her dream job to the dismay at still being put down because of her weight. But without thought, she accepts the negative comments as truth and internalizes the pain. Will she do that with Mark? Will she really give him up without a fight because of a cruel comment by a stranger? Grab your copy and see how all of these emotions are dealt with, and whether the two of them can still find their HEA.
Mark and Amber’s eyes meet and they know instant love, but is it real? Can it really happen? Amber has doubts but her body is telling her something different.
