These love stories are typical in their plots and characterizations, but feature average-size/fat women as the primary love interests, as opposed to the typical waif/bombshell body types I've often encountered in romance (and fiction in general). I'm glad to see better body representation.

Spoiler Alert is a much higher quality story in my opinion. I love short stories in general, and in romance I love a good slow burn, and there's just not enough build for my taste in this collection.

This is a collection of three novellas—each is about 100 pages long. They are sweet stories, as the title suggests. I especially liked the 2nd and 3rd novella.
