Sometimes a little heat is all it takes to lighten a heavy heart.Shannon Daniels is afraid of men, but when Matthew Ellis literally falls into her lap, fear is the last thing she feels. For the first time in years, she desires a man, and she plans on taking advantage of her new craving. Shannon hatches a plan to satisfy her sudden hunger, but dancing with the devil will get you more than a … than a one-way trip to hell, and Shannon finds out quickly that even the best-laid plans go awry.
Matthew Ellis swears he will never get caught in the tangled web of a woman. After a devastating heartbreak, he’s determined to die a bachelor. When he meets Shannon, a chubby redhead with a firecracker personality, he decides to add her to his list of conquests. The good news is she’s okay with a hot and heavy fling. The bad news is, for the first time since he was a teenager, being caught doesn’t seem that unappealing.

Shannon has sworn off men since high school prom and then walks in Matthew and blows her mind. He is actually after her best-friend Lilly and doesn’t see her at first. When he finally does notice her, he can see no one else but how can she trust this player. I loved this book so much and this series just got better with Shannon’s story. I loved Iris and how she played such a strong part in Shannon’s story. Matthew was surprising because I didn’t like him in the beginning but in the end I fell in love with him. Great story and one that I definitely recommend.
The book was hard to get into. Not my favorite by this author but I really liked Shannon, the heroine. She’s a survivor but she has not yet begun to live until she meets Matthew. Matthew is an entitled, rich playboy and I absolutely disliked his character for much of the story. He redeemed himself in the last few chapters. In truth, loving Shannon made him a better man.
I loved everything about this book, the story was beautiful, the way it was written was perfect. I haven’t felt that connected to a book in a long time but i guarantee it with one of Tabatha Vargo’s chubby girl books.
The story was so good with Shannon trying to fight her demons and keep boys at arms length, i could really feel her struggle i loved the way this character was written. She wasn’t perfect she knew that, she didn’t have the perfect body, but Shannon taught us to love our selfs scars and all.
Matthew needed to grow on me i thought he was a bit of a pig at the start but i knew buy the end i would be in love with and i wasn’t disappointed at all. The way he was not embarrassed to have Shannon on his arm even though she wasn’t stick thin really made me love him. What he did for her made him nearly the perfect man.
The way this story turned couldn’t have been more perfect, i also loved Grammy, i had a nan just like her and it really hit home for what Shannon went though with her sickness and i thought she was an important and amazing part of the story.
This book taught me that you have to remember your precious moments and don’t take life for granted.
I felt so much reading this book, sadness, it was emotional, it broke my heart and put me all back together this is a book i will never forget.
If you haven’t started these two Chubby Girls chronicle books it’s a must you won’t be disappointed two of my favourite books ever.
Big huge 5 Stars from me.
It’s a refreshing story of a plus sized love. The book though light and humorous in tone has a sensitive undertone of body confidence issues and low self esteem. Tabatha carefully interleaved both themes with élan . Her creation -Mathew Ellis is a sexy, secure alpha, who is confident enough to love Chubby Shannon and love her true & hard !.
At first he’s caught up in the dare-“Chubby Women Sucked Dick like they were starving. Once he went fat, He’d never go back.” but soon he discovers a beautiful , thoughtful person inside that big body.
And come on ! Who likes bones for dinner anyway, the meat is what matters …right!!! And Matt loves meat. He wants to grab handful of that plump juicy ass and kiss every part of her body…**sigh** he’s every chubby woman’s dream come true.
Thank you Tabatha for creating The Perfect Men !!
The insecurities of big women were so honest and authentic , I felt Tabatha was reading MY mind. Shannon is a generous, kind, loyal person on the inside, yet all she sees herself , is on the outside. What an irony, she doesn’t need a man to pull her down, she’s doing it all by herself! And an assured and dependable man comes along to show her her true worth and self love . He erases Shannon’s doubts all the way . What a Man !
I hated my body. I was too tall. Too round. Too … fat.
OR
He was a heartbroken man protecting his heart just as I was a broken woman protecting my body.
I loved how the topic of nonconsensual sex was dealt with , with so much starkness and poignance .
I loved the way the story was written in dual POV, so we get what men are thinking when they see US big (fat) women. And I realised , we just twist ourselves up over nothing. A REAL MAN loves us unconditionally ! Huge applause to Tabatha for showing that !
Marylin Monroe wasn’t skinny , so isn’t Kim Kardashian, and yet they are sexier than most women. #JustSaying!
Beautiful words, fantastic story, I went ahead and bought book 1, so now I can read Devin & Lilly’s story too.
Here’s to celebrating your body , big and small and the men who love them . Cheers
