For the first time in her life, Ireland Mills is happy with her body. No more fad diets, no more hiding from every camera in the room, no more low self-esteem. She’d rather be alone than with someone who’ll only love her if she’s skinny. Caleb Carpenter and Ben Weber are everything Ireland and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce dreamed of when conceptualizing the “Real Kansas” promotional campaign. They’re handsome, young, educated, and totally dedicated to their small prairie town. When Ireland’s Prius gets stuck on a Kansas dirt road and a massive storm rips through town, she’s left stranded with nowhere to turn but to Caleb and Ben. These two hunky country boys are impossible to ignore, but could they ever be interested in her as well? Caleb and Ben are more than interested…and they’re willing to share. After their first night together, they know this has to be more than a one-time thing. They need to make her theirs forever. But can they convince Ireland they love her, curves and all?

***MISADVENTURES ARE STANDALONE ROMANCES THAT CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER***

Misadventures of a Curvy Girl by Sierra Simone touched me deeply and before I say anything about the book I wanted to say Thank you to my book buddy Janet for the recommendation.

I loved LOVED, Caleb, Ben and Ireland’s story… yes not so spoiler alert this is a menage read and I really good one at that!

Ireland’s insecurities over her curvy size well that has made this make a profoundly personal review and maybe even more about me that than the book but in the end isn’t that what a great book does it makes the READER FEEL………… SO Thank you, Sierra Simone for putting words to some of what sits just at the surface sometimes.

As a woman who well let’s just say this winter when I went to splurge in a designer winter coat and I did NOT fit in any I sometimes find myself struggling to really hear like really hear (the hear that you feel deep in your soul) my husband of over 18 years when he calls me “Beautiful.”

In my heart I know he means is in but sometimes that voice creeps in that says does he notice the extra weight, does he feel how my body has changed post two big boys born via c-section, does he feel the extra flap that slips out the top of my bra, does he see the chin that now has some flab hanging from it…..

Ireland’s journey spoke to all of that and then some.  So Thank you, Ms Simone for reminding me beauty is about more than most of the models we see and love isn’t just for Barbie size women paired with men who look like cover models.

This book had be believing Ben and Caleb loved Ireland for who she was not despite of her size. And in the end I know that helped me feel a bit more of the love in my own life and for just a bit quieted some of the “if I just lost a few more pounds” or “if my stomach was just a bit flatter.”
