Zarah

review 1: Full figured Zarah Elliot was not expecting the man she lives with to betray her in more ways than one. Crushed and humiliated she moves into an apartment that has her sparking the interest of tennant Jack Masters.Jack knows the moment he meets Zarah, she is the one. He is thrown for a loop when he finds out his best friend Lane Dundas also is interested in the voluptuous beauty. Add more hurdles to what is becoming a complicated relationship, Zarah feels for them both. Jack is willing to unite with Lane to make Zarah happy, but they both will have to work hard to break through her insecurities regarding her weight.I am always a sucker for full figured women story, but I felt this one was a bit tough. Zarah has so many hangups with her weight it is dragged out. The o... morether issue I had is that Lane is more of a third wheel than anything, you never really get a feel for his true feelings and hers for that matter.
review 2: A woman who was considered "fat" by most people she encountered and certainly was a criticism lobbed at her by her ex--a man who invited her into his home and his bed with no intentions of ever moving into a solid relationship with her, a man who is unfaithful and who uses her resources to meet their financial obligations while he is padding his savings accounts and ultimately betrays her with a slim and curvy blonde. Putting her meager belongings outside his house and ushering her out into homelessness, Zarah is ready to call it quits with men in general, and when Jack Masters and his friend Lane express their absolute delight in her, their almost instant attraction to her, their certainty that she is, for them, the most beautiful woman they have ever encountered, Zarah's heart is untouched and her mind rejects their declarations as preludes to easy sex followed by betrayal. But Jack and Lane prove to be different in many ways, but Zarah's deep hurts and her old baggage keep her from allowing them to come close and their future together is in serious doubt. A really nice romantic look at the difficulties many larger women encounter from the public at large and from lovers in particular, their vulnerable hearts and minds, and their difficulties in moving past the negative perceptions society perpetrates toward big women. This is also an interracial relationship and I applaud the author for bringing that aspect into the story. less
