This book just proves a million times why I love Mari’s work soooo much. She never gives us cookie cutter characters, and she gives us these people that seem to just walk of the pages of her books. I’ve been a fan since the first book I read by her, and each book makes me love her more. Can’t wait for the next book in this series!!! ~ KcLu, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
Two’s company. Three is perfection.
Shelly MacIsaac has pretty much given up all hope. Hope that she’ll lose weight, that she’ll find any excitement in life, that there will ever be any man in her bed besides Barney, her cat.
When her friend Zoey suggests the wine girls come up with resolutions for the New Year, Shelly latches onto the one everyone expects her to choose—the tried-and-true commitment to go on a diet and get into shape. Deep inside, however, Shelly knows she needs to change a lot more than just her physical appearance.
After a year licking his wounds over a broken romance, Christian is through. He’s been quietly lusting after Shelly at work, and he’s not wasting any more time. There’s something about her that makes him believe she’s the one. Unfortunately, Shelly’s kickboxing instructor, Lance—Christian’s best friend—has set his sights on the sweet blonde as well.
Instead of pistols at dawn, the two friends come up with a deliciously erotic answer to their shared dilemma—if the shy beauty will accept their racy proposal.
Warning: There is a chance this story will encourage you to go on a diet and begin an intense exercise regime. After all, flavored body lube is low cal, right? And sex is a great way to burn calories.
Review copy provided for a honest review
Mari Carr’s newest release Never Been Kissed is part of the Second Chances series. I love that this series centers around a group of friends that are making each other stick to the New Year’s resolutions they have made. Now it is Shelly’s story. Not only has she decided it is time for her to get in shape, but she is determined to lose that pesky V-card as well. To achieve those goals she will have to deal with the body self-esteem and body issues she has struggled with all her life.
Going into this book I really was expecting to need lots of Kleenex and a bowl of candy. As a curvy girl, I have had some of the same issues as Shelly when it comes to not seeing yourself correctly. I have to say Mari took what could have been an emotional land mine, and made it a field of beautifulness!!! This story touched me on sooo many levels! I absolutely love all three of these character. Each of them embodies qualities that grab a hold of your heart. Christian and Lance are absolutely what Shelly needed to break her out of the prison of her own emotional making. This book just proves a million times why I love Mari’s work soooo much. She never gives us cookie cutter characters, and she gives us these people that seem to just walk of the pages of her books. I’ve been a fan since the first book I read by her, and each book makes me love her more. Can’t wait for the next book in this series!!!
