Harlequin - Cosmo Red Hot Read

review 1: October 2014 new release by Cosmo Hot Reads by Harlequin.Good golly Miss Molly. Is it getting hot in here or is that just summer hitting my part of the world! Turn that fan on because I need an ice tea to cool down after reading this little gem! Cosmo Hot Reads are not called Cosmo Hot Reads for nothing!!!Plus size Emma, (Nurse by day, newbee-voyer by night) is out celebrating her 25th birthday but not in the usual way, no! She's at the V-Spot - about to embark on a blind date - litterally a blind date due to the masks that all visitors must wear. The V-Spot is a Voyers Club where couples go and watch other couples.With her knees already shaking Emma is mortified when handsome, hot and giant 6-pack wrester Brody noisily arrives. Surely he cant be her blind date! Emma m... moreakes a mental note to never let her best friend talk her into anything ever again. Side-tracked by a medical emergency Emma assists then hightails it out of there. No way does she want Brody knowing it's her. They see each other during the day enough times when Brody is visiting her hospital, granting wishes for sick kids.What Emma doesn't know is Brody is haaaawwwt for her *cue fan* and coaxes her out and back into the club. From there they embark on the path of voyers with sizzling results!What I liked about this fun, fast paced, attention grabbing hot read was how real Emma is. She's plus size, not just "curves" but actually plus size. Emma's size is not shyed away from in the story, it's celebrated by the author and it's worshipped by Brody. It was written well into the book and i love that modern day authors use genuine and realistic descriptions of their heroes or heroines. Nowdays you have scarred heroes, disabled heroes and plus size heroines and a truely talented author makes you feel comfortable reading about it and differences enjoyed.The V Spot by Wendy Marcus is fun, exciting, hot and for me an eye opener . It's the third Cosmo Hot Read I've read and has some pretty phenomenal descriptions. The characters of Emma and Brody are fun and even though it's of generous novella size there's enough info in there to learn about the characters and what makes them who they are. I love that Brody was honest and to the point and I think he totally made Emma's experience unforgettable. If you like a quick read, a read full of spark, a read with two awesome characters (and one naughty best friend) don't go past The V-Spot by Wendy S. Marcus.P.S LOVE the cover!
review 2: Review copy courtesy of the publisher via NetGalley.I've previously read a book by this author and was blown away by it. This book was much shorter and it was good but this one was much more fun to read. The characters in this book were real and funny and I definitely got a kick out of them!I really dug Emma. I thought she was hilarious and real and had a good grasp of how the world works. See, she's a self-proclaimed "big girl" and big girls have to navigate society in a different way. I liked the fact that she didn't hate herself and that she wasn't constantly dieting or disparaging herself. She didn't feel bad for herself or have a pity party every other chapter. She was who she was. But, thankfully, she wasn't ONLY a big girl. She was also an excellent nurse in the pediatric section of a hospital. She has friends and she's excellent at her job. She's bratty at times and empathetic at other times. Ya know, like, a REAL person.Brody was pretty cool as well. He's a wrestler but he's starting to want to break out of this role he's made for himself. I mean, he enjoys wrestling and his fame (and fortune) allows him to do the things he wants, like visiting sick kids in the hospital and having them excited to see him. But he's ready to meet someone real, someone who likes him for who he REALLY is, not just for the personality he plays for the crowds. I liked that Brody WAS more than just a dumb wrestler, as many people thought. He's intelligent and is capable of holding up his end of a real conversation. Oh and he sounded incredibly sexy! LOL! You know that NEVER hurts a man's chances!I really liked these two together. Brody was all hot and sexy and muscular and just yum! And Emma was not perfect by today's beauty standards. It was refreshing to see a big girl in the starring role AND to not have her apologizing for her size. But the body image issues did not affect my enjoyment of the story at all. I thought the premise was a teensy bit far fetched but I still loved it! Yes, I realize the irony of that statement since I read paranormal romance and have no problem sinking my teeth into those stories (yeah, that pun was on purpose). But I occasionally have a hard time with outlandish setups in contemporary romance. I'm happy that it was easy to slip into this one. I would absolutely recommend this book BUT be aware that it's a shorter one. I don't know the exact page count but it can't be too much above 100-150 pages. I was pleasantly surprised at how much story the author fit into this novella. I had a good feel for the characters and who they were and I was totally invested in their story. In fact, a few other wrestlers show up in the story and I would NOT mind a few full length novels about them! LOL! A few laughs made this book even more enjoyable and I am 100% an official fan of this author. If you haven't tried one of her books before, this is a good (and inexpensive) way to try her out. I don't think you'll regret it! less
