Big girls don’t cry.They go after what they want. Thanks to her bangin’ curves, Valerie Carmichael has always turned heads-with the exception of seriously sexy Logan Mathis. Just Valerie’s luck that the object of her lust-filled affection is also best friends with her overprotective brother. But Valerie’s determined to get Logan’s attention . . . even if it means telling a teeny little lie to get … telling a teeny little lie to get a job at his new bar.
Logan can’t remember a time when Valerie didn’t secretly fuel all his hottest fantasies. Now the curvaceous she-devil is working behind his bar, tempting him every damn night. It’s only when he finds Valerie’s naughty things-to-do list that Logan decides to break every rule in the book-by making each red-hot deed a reality.
No one warned them that they were going to fall this hard. And no one warned them that sometimes the smallest secrets can have the biggest consequences.

I loved this story. The characters were realistic and funny. Awesome chemistry between the two main characters. I liked that Valerie loves herself, is confident and knows what she wants. I am hooked so I purchased book one and recommend this book to all.
A sweet and steamy read. Val has had a crush on her brothers best friend, Logan, for years. He returns to town and opens a new business, this is Val’s opportunity to spend time with him and to start a job that she enjoys. This book contains an over protective brother, steam, and an ex-worker with an agenda.
I love it when an author can write a book where you are automatically sucked into the story. Alison Bliss did this with this book. I felt like I was there watching what was going on. I would recommend this book to everyone, it was fantastic. I had a hard time putting it down & was upset when it was over.
I’m glad I tried the second book in this series. Book one didn’t work for me at all, but I enjoyed book two quite a lot. The characters were more enjoyable to read about, the connection between the main characters felt more believable and better developed, and the whole story felt better paced than book one. An enjoyable read!
I adored this book! Valerie was such a confident and bubbly heroine. Even when she was messing up, she was a joy to read! Logan, the hero and her brother’s best friend, was a strong character who was unable to fight his attraction to the off-limits Valerie. Honestly, the only thing I didn’t like about this book was how overprotective her brother was of the adult Valerie. Everything else in the book made for a fun and enjoyable read!
Great story line easy to get interested in. This is the 2 in the Perfect Fit Series. I read & review the 1st one ( Size Matters) This is just as good. I am not very good at writing reviews and just know what I like and this one is a very good one. I highly recommend this!
I loved this book. I had high expectations of this one because I loved the first one so much and Mrs. Bliss came through.
Valerie is a plus sized woman who owns her curves. She doesn’t seem to have any self-consciousness about her size. She dresses amazingly and isn’t afraid to go after her man. Valerie has a way of saying things that makes you laugh out loud or cheer her on knowing if you were in her shoes, you wouldn’t have the balls to say that.
Logan is Valerie’s brothers best friend. She is the one woman he shouldn’t be interested in. Logan tried to be noble in so many ways in this book that it is so easy to love him. He tries to do right by his mom, Brett, Valerie and his employees. I felt bad for him towards the end but I am glad it ended the way that it did!
The only thing I didn’t care for was the character of Brett. He seemed way over the top protective of Valerie. Now I must say; I don’t have any older brothers so I can’t compare but he seemed too overbearing. I know he is her brother but I was so surprised that Valerie given her personality wasn’t more stern with him.
I can’t wait for book three in this series!!
Valerie Carmichael has had a thing for her brother’s best friend since she was a teenager, but no matter how hard she tried to catch his eye back then he always seemed uninterested in what she had to offer… and it hurt like hell! He left town long ago, and she has since moved on, but her crush on him has remained constant, and while she knows it’s stupid to still want him, she just can’t seem to let it go. When she learns he is making a return to town, she decides it’s finally time to face this thing head on, she is going to make her feelings for him well known, and finally get him to see her in a new light… and when he does he won’t know what the hell hit him!!
Logan Mathis knows it is wrong has hell to want his best friends little sister, but he just can’t help himself, she has lived in his fantasies long enough… he wants the real thing now! So, when she makes her move, he doesn’t resist, and he falls hard for the curvy blonde beauty. But when his best friend catches him with his sister he realizes the gravity of his choice… now he must decide if risking his friendship for the sake of love is worth it?
One paragraph in and I was immediately pulled back into the little town of Granite, and beyond thrilled for the opportunity to revisit some of my favorite residents, and also get a glimpse at a few new ones too. Ms. Bliss does such an amazing job of developing relatable and likable characters that you can’t help but get attached to them, the moment I met Valerie (in the first installment) I thought man this is a girl I would love to have as friend, she’s sassy, ballsy, and totally my kind of people. And upon further inspection I have to say my instincts about her were spot on, her story was thoroughly entertaining, she had me laughing, smiling, and cheering her on the whole way through. This series has been quite the revelation for me, it’s been quite inspiring, and as a fellow curvy girl I appreciate seeing curvy girls getting their time in the spot light, even if it is in a fictional sense! It’s nice to read a story once in a while when the heroine can walk onto the page, be comfortable in her own shell, be soft when she needs to, and still find the power to make even the toughest alpha weak in the knees… when Valarie strolled into Logan’s world he didn’t know what hit him! I highly recommend you get your hands on this book, Valerie and her sexy alpha are sure to take you on one hell of a literary escape!!
I know it’s early in the series, but this is my favorite book in the series… So far! Valerie is smart, sassy, curvy, and sexy. She’s confident and she wants Logan. Logan is sexy, inspires loyalty… and the best friend of Val’s brother. They were attracted to each for a long time and the results are off the chart chemistry!
This story gave us steamy and sensuous romance and I wanted more! Those live scenes were great. Val being comfortable in her own skin was awesome and I loved that. What drove me bonkers was Val’s over-protective older brother. As someone who has a protective older brother, I completely understand her plight! She handles him well and she earned her golden ticket to heaven!
This series is awesome and I can’t wait to read more! I hope this series NEVER ends!
One of the many things that I love about Bliss is her way of consistently bringing old characters back into the new books. It’s nice to be able to catch up with the characters you fell in love with from the previous book. And in this one, Leah and Sam don’t take center stage but they are a big part of the plot and our new leading lady’s life.
I could really just go on and on about how amazing this book and Bliss are. But it would probably make you uncomfortable after I start to drone on and on about character development, how full the plot is, the pace of the story and everything in between because I would start to sound like a nutjob. But this story really is that great. All of the characters are so fully fleshed out that you feel as if they have become your friends by the time you get to the end of the novel. The pacing is set so that there isn’t a dull moment and you’ll find yourself not wanting to skip a single word because you don’t want to miss something. And this is something that happens with each of the Bliss novels. You will love every single moment that you get to spend with her books.
This book is sexy as hell. I was just waiting for my Kindle to burst into flames and start melting in my hands through some of these passages. Good Lord. I’m happily married but I decided that I need to find myself a Logan for my second marriage. You know when you read something sexy and you get paranoid thinking that everyone around you knows what dirty stuff you’re reading? Yeah. I had that multiple times with this book. While at the doctor’s office. I know that my cheeks were just flaming with embarrassment and I was sure that the little security cameras could see what I was reading. Which is completely illogical but always happens when I read the naughty bits in one of my Bliss books.
Anyway … a perfect book, a perfect fit (get it?) in the series and a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon by the pool. After you check this series out, you should totally look at her other series, Tangled in Texas – it is one of my all-time favorite series!
