Susan Donovan

DNF because this book is wildly fatphobic. Also, I don't really like that there is an accounting of the food the character eats because that can encourage disordered eating. The character also comments about her large hips, which are 22 inches. The average woman's hips are 35 inches. The love interest doesn't find her attractive until she loses weight, which is shallow. The book tries to have it both ways, condemning her prick of a boss for being fatphobic, but not condemning the love interest.

Have Mercy by Susan Donovan was my favorite all the four stories.

I'm interested in reading this, but I really hope it isn't one of those books where the heroine becomes progressively more attractive to the hero as she loses weight...

This one kept my attention pretty solidly. It was well written and moved along briskly. I liked the hero. The heroine wasn't as well developed. There was a quasi mystical element that didn't really play out clearly. I don't think I've read this author before but I would be willing to try her again.
