I enjoy these short stories about the Zaftig Dating Agency and this one is no exception. It is the perfect type of story to heat up a cold winter’s evening, in fact. Insta-lust between our cowboy and our caterer starts off the story with sparks flying. I loved the fast pace from there.

A shy, unassuming woman meets a country music star and they hit it off right away. It’s so cute how he makes sure she knows he is really into her and not messing around. It’s nice that they found each other. Another wonderful short story by Jane Fox. Look forward to reading the next one in the series. Can’t get enough of these “quickies”!

This was book seven of the Zaftig Dating Agency series. The story was about Austin, a country music star, and Aida, our curvy caterer hired for food service backstage. When Austin walks into the room, he sees Aida and is immediately smitten with her. Ms. Fox is quite adept at capturing the nuances of the curvaceous young women she writes about in her books. I am looking forward to the next book in the series

I really enjoyed this story. The secret matchmaker set ups are pretty awesome and I get a real kick out of them.
Austin is a country star and he’s used to women throwing themselves at him because of it. At his latest venue he meets the caterer and likes that she doesn’t act like the other women he meets. She doesn’t even know who he is at first, but is very sweet and courteous.
Aida is catering the biggest job she’s ever had for the Austin Smith concert. She’s not a big fan of country music, so she isn’t prepared for how hot Austin is.
She will just have to try to be professional.
There seemed to be some instalove going on between Austin and Aida. They were so funny about wanting to talk to each other, but still playing it cool. At least until the concert is over and everything is pretty much over, then they kick things through the roof. Very sweet, but short romance. I recommend reading this book!

Find love with your stomach is how Aida finds her man. It seems that opening up a new catering service and winning a bid on a venue for a country singer opening special attention. Oh it will help if you actually knew who the country singer was. Short and A twofer says to couples found love in the story.

The Zaftig Dating Agency’s potential target match this time is between country music singer Austin Smith, and Aida Conway. His bandmate claims Austin is “monogamous by nature”, so their touring pace means he has difficulty making deep connections with women – and he needs a little secret push from the Zaftig Dating Agency. Aida owns and operates Pretty Hungry, a catering company hired to cater when the band is in town for the concert, so “the stage is set” as they say. Will this be a successful match?
When Austin wakes up on the bus, he stretches out his cramped muscles and heads for the food! He meets Aida who doesn’t recognize him, so he enjoys the short time to chat with her. When she asks about the singer, what he’s like, and tells him she needs to get his autograph, she finally realizes this man is Austin. She had already told him this was her first “big event” as a caterer, and he tells her she’s doing a great job. Then his buddy Mitchell, the flirt and ladies’ man, walks up and Austin feels very protective of Aida. Mitch grins, acknowledging that Austin has at last “staked his claim” on a woman! He then warns Aida that, when working with bands, avoid the drummers – they are hard partiers looking for a good time!
When Austin walks away, Aida lets out her breath and acknowledges now why her friend and tons of others love this guy! He is tall and handsome, friendly and outgoing, and when she hears him singing softly backstage, his voice melts her. At intermission, Austin comes back to see Aida and asked her friend’s name, and whether she was the shy type or not. When he returned to the stage, he called Ginny up to join him and lead the line dance that was associated with the song! Ginny had the best time of her life and when the song ended, someone brought her backstage to Aida. Ginny was so elated and Aida was happy for her friend. After the meet and greet, Austin returned and asked if she would come to his trailer so they could talk since all the food was out and her job was basically done. To her surprise, he asked to kiss her and told her she was there because he wanted her to be. She was sweet, funny, smart, and gorgeous – and there was no other choice for him. No one had ever treated her like this before. When he asked her to join him on tour, she thought of her new business, how irresponsible it would be, there was no way she should do it – and said Yes, knowing this was absolutely the right choice!
This was so adorable, I just melted at their first meeting. Their personalities made you love both of them right away, and the rest of their interactions just made you care even more. Even the secondary characters were friendly and supportive. And the story line is still not over, so grab your copy and see what else is in store for these two!
Austin and Aida are adorable. The characters are sweet, charming, and well matched. I love this series! I sometimes wish there was more time to spend with the characters but the way Jane writes makes the story flow easily and I don’t feel like I was jipped. I just really like the characters.

I am enjoying this series I had read and enjoyed the previous books so could not wait to read Austin and Aida’s story and it was another good well-written insta-love romance. This is a perfect read to curl up with before bed. I just loved that Austin was not a man whore before he met her these two were so good together.
Who doesn’t love a cowboy that sings to you………but she adds the spicy kick!!!
I am just going to say this……………Jane Fox has an fantastic series with the Zaftig Dating Agency books and Pulling Her Strings is another winner.
This is the story of one lonely country singer named Austin Smith. He has not had a relationship is several years, he does not entertain groupies and he is having a hard time writing lyrics to love songs as he just does not have it in him any more. What this cowboy needs is a cowgirl who will ride him into the sunset.
Enter Aida Conway, a lovely young woman who has started her own catering company. Pretty Hungry, in Evans, Ohio. Her company gets the contract to cater Austin’s outdoor show in town and she is excited. Not for meeting Austin, as she is not a fan and does not know what he even looks like, but because this is the largest job her company has had so far.
When Austin smells the delicious aromas coming from the backstage area he follows his nose. What he sees completely takes his breath away and makes him hungry in so many ways. He knows he wants Aida immediately and after a “meet cute” he makes her promise she will not leave without talking to him.
This is another really sweet, poignant, lovely, romantic short story with a little bit of spicy to add that steamy kick. I highly recommend Pulling Her Strings and the entire Zaftig Dating Agency series as must reads!!!
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Cute and romantic
3.5
This opus keeps the same base as the others in the series: two strangers who think they will meet by chance but they are placed on the way of the other to discover each other and more if affinities.
Here he’s a country singer, Austin, who meets Aida who owns a catering business.
The story is very simple and very romantic.

Still Smilin’
Good short romantic read. Got a two-for with this read. The main female character’s best friend also finds love in this short amount of time. This story brought a smile to my face.
This story has a little of everything, sweet romance, sexy overbearing and frustrating alpha make and a beautiful woman who has the right heart and spirit. Thoroughly enjoying and entertaining.
