***3.5 Stars***

I'm going to be brutally honest, Burn For You didn't completely work for me. BBW storylines are a bit hit and miss. On the one hand it's nice to see a woman get a happy ever after irrelevant of her size, on the other, it doesn't need to be harped on about. Great that he finds her voluptuous curves a turn on, but her wide hips, big breasts and curved belly don't need to be described every time he sees her. I'm also over the negative self esteem. We get it, but her size shouldn't be her first and last thought when meeting new people. Her confidence only increased when she was in a relationship, which kind of made me sad. It would have been better if her confidence increased on her own merits in getting a job and making new friends. Just my thoughts.

Thank goodness the author included an Aussie slang dictionary at the start of this story. I'm an Aussie and even I struggled with some of the words. This is real country living. Where everyone knows and looks out for each other. The town pub is the go to place for a beer and to have a quick bite to eat. Best to be on your best behaviour though because more than likely the coppers are sitting at the next table. I loved the familiarity of the characters, cars and landscape. Most Aussies have had a hot pie with tomato sauce that burns your mouth but tastes too good to wait for it to cool. I'm also a big fan of a pumpkin scone and cuppa for afternoon tea. For the most part, the dialogue was accurate for a small country town. It's just not how EVERY Aussie talks.

This was a really sweet love story. Ash has left the city after surviving a horrific incident. She's travelling across the country by herself to find some peace and hopefully happiness. Her car brakes down outside Gully's Fall and four bikers stop to offer assistance. At first she is petrified of the big men, then she finds out they are made up of a police officer, an ambo and two firies. This puts her at ease and she accepts their help. One of the firemen is Scott and he likes what he sees in the buxom Ash.

I loved the characters, storyline and feelings in Burn For You. There is plenty of smutty talk and a couple of intimate scenes where we get to see Scott and Ash connect. I did enjoy this story and would be interested in heading back to Gully's Fall to see the gang again.

Originally published at http//booksandspoons.weebly.com/book-blog
Angela Verdenius writes the best BBW (Big Beautiful Women) books I've read. And don't let her Australian dialect scare you, there's a dictionary to all Aussie impressions at the beginning, but with all her books that I've read, I only used it twice.
Her books are the once I re-read again and again, because the characters are so likeable, real, appealing, charismatic, genial, enjoyable... The stories are sweet, funny, and engaging, and you stay up until wee hours of the morning to finish the stories.
In this book readers are introduced to new small town with its winsome characters.
Ash happens to the town by accident, on her search to take a control of her life again, after a terrible experience she went through a year ago. She feels lost to herself, her independence gone, and she wonders if she is able to feel, be close to someone ever again.
Scott is the town 'catch', handsome, friendly, considerate firefighter. He falls for Ash and is willing to do anything to win her, to gain her trust, to let him love her and accept intimacy again.
Scott's patience, restraint, and protectiveness is commendable and sweet, and slowly he's winning Ash over, breaking down her walls.
The stories of the town folks, the mystery of pyromaniac in the small town, the romance, the group of friends ~ just so enjoyable, lovely story, five spoons and looking forward for more stories from this town!
And I want to mention, that all her BBW books are excellent, highly recommended!!
This book was okay. Normally I'd put a book like this down, but the likeable characters, the plot, and the humor kept me reading.

What this book had going for it Likeable, realistic characters; sexy, loveable hero; humor; good plot; and Henry. I think he was my favorite character. I laughed out loud at the things he said. Hot fireman indeed!

What could have been better The author is not a total novice, but her writing still has many earmarks of a newbie. She tells too much instead of shows. And when she does show, she often doesn't trust the reader to get it, so she tells us, too. She often describes every detail of character actions instead of giving us glimpses and letting our minds fill in the blanks. The characters' thoughts were at times excessive, too, making some of the scenes come off as melodramatic. The heat was mostly well written, but the love scenes got a little purple-prose-ish in places.

Oh, and I have to mention one pun gone terribly wrong. 'Hand jobs just didn't beat the real thing.' Too funny.

Editing passable, Language mild, Heat hot in places, Triggers rape.

Bottom line, if you're not a picky reader or you're willing to overlook the negatives for the sake of a good story, you'll probably like Burn For You.
Ash has decided to travel across Australia, in search of some peace from a traumatic attack. She’s working hard to move on, but she’s still fragile and very leery of men in general and bikers in particular. So when she meets Scott on the side of the road when her car breaks down, she’s less than comfortable. Slowly, Ash decides to figure out if she’s ready to stop roaming and start living again.

The Good and the Ok
This is a bit more angsty of a tale than Ms. Verdenius’ usual, and I quite liked it. Ash has been through alot and her fears are genuinely believable. I actively rooted for her to overcome her fears. She is a BBW heroine, but it wasn’t the focal point and I thought it worked very well.

That being said, if you’ve read a Verdenius book before, it’s not that far off the tried and true formula. Which means other than Ash’s past trauma, the setup is very similar to her earlier BBW books.

The Bottom Line
An enjoyable read with a very likeable heroine.
