Big Girls Do It Paperback – November 1, 2012

I got the box set of Big Girls Do It and figured why not give it a read? It has some pretty good reviews and even though I generally don't read erotica I thought I'd give it a go.A plus size woman the main character in an exotic book is something you don't see much of that I can tell. However, Anna annoyed the hell out of me. You see, Anna is a size 18 female Dj who is very unhappy with herself. So unhappy that she doesn't think that a good looking slim guy could possibly like her. This is of course because all slim guys want a skinny woman. So when Chase, a good looking guy, sits with her and starts making conversation with her it's because her must think she's easy.Okay, I get why Anna thinks like this though. She was in a past relationship that the guy constantly put her down and called her names and made fun of her weight. However, why is it that every big woman has to have a horrible self esteem? I've been a size 18 and I know how it feels but I also know that it's possible for guys to find plus size people attractive.This book was so rushed it was beyond believable. I know it's a short story so there isn't time for a long story but seriously, Anna and Chase knew each other for a week and he was confessing his love, asking her to go on the road with him? Come on. Also, the second time she sees him she's in her knees in the back of the club she's working at? Have some self worth!The sex was unbelievable in the fact that she has a million orgasms and he's naturally hung like a horse. Oh and don't forget to throw in a serious issue of having an ex-husband and being infertile. That was one sentence she thought in the middle of them having sex. Really? You throw that into it and don't elaborate?From the title and then reading it, I don't understand the correlation. Big girl Anna did nothing better that I saw except that she was insanely hard on herself, had a horrible self esteem, like to call women smaller than herself "skinny bitches" constantly, and had everyone else pegged a certain way without giving anyone a chance.I'm glad I got this for free because I would have been disappointed in paying for this one. Even though I have the rest of the books in the series from getting the box set, I won't be continuing this novella series.

Big Girls Do it Better? Really? Basically, this is called a "gimmick". Put a blank where the words "Big Girls" is, and fill it with anything that comes to mind, and you'll have a "hook" for said audience. For Example:People with Body Odor Do it BetterMidgets Do it BetterSkinny Girls Do It BetterHairy Men Do It Better"Less than Average Looking Folks" Do It BetterThis list can go on, giving a certain "targeted audience" a type of "novelty".I was very disappointed in this book, but grateful that it was a free down load of all four chapters on my kindle. I did as someone else had posted. I didn't want to pay for 50 Shades of Gray, wondering what all of the hooplah was all about. Well, it's "erotica". Now after reading this kindle version of 52 Layers of Lard, i decided that i won't venture down this path of "novelty erotica" again.This poor woman - Anna, went from a self-conscious female to a GODDESS, overnight. Want to know how? She goes to a restaurant at 2:00 a.m., "for a snack" with nothing on but thigh-high boots, a minidress (with sequins), complete with fish-net stockings and voila! She meets prince charming. He's pulchritudinous, without one single flaw. He's muscular (with no mention of him ever eating healthy, or working out), definitely an Alpha, who just happened to be studying in a restaurant - for crying out loud, versus the quiet of his own house? - was lonely "and wanted some company"..Well, if that was the case, he could have banged the waitress in the back, and called it a night. Instead, he throws himself - literally - at Anna as she's leaving the place. He jumps in her car - yes ladies, opens the passenger door, jumps in her car and after very little conversation - gives her a kiss. Not just any kiss, it was one of THOSE kisses. Tongue and all. Sorry, i'm in a part of the country where the Hanta-virus is passed along the "oral-fecal" route. You just can't be too careful with strangers.Okay, I don't know about anyone else, but if some guy i just met jumps in my car while i'm ready to drive away? There would have been a wreck, or i would have called the cops. Basically what the author is saying? Because a man is damn good looking - he can get away with crap that someone that is "less than average" looking cannot.As the story progresses through the chapters, this woman goes from waiting for Mr. Right to jumping in bed with Mr. Right Now. She basically swings her sex between 2 guys (both are hot and muscular) like a pendulum on a grandfather clock. If she were at church, the men in the congregation would pass her around like the collection plate.I used to be a former Plus-Size lady myself. I can't tell you how many romance and "erotica" books i had stacked up in my room. I ravaged those books while eating those chocolate covered cherries, Twinkies, Ding-Dongs and Its-Its like there was no tomorrow. I even fantasized of the day - that someone would see me for the "beautiful goddess" that i was and worship the ground i walked on. Well, i kept waiting, and it never happened. I had to do what any normal human being would do to be respected. I worked on myself confidence. This did not come about in the book at all.We are constantly inundated with earth-shattering sex upon meeting a stranger while half drunk, then jumping into bed with her business partner while STILL half drunk. And yes, earth shattering sex with him too! Then after several weeks with the partner? You guessed it, Mr. Sexypants - as he's called in the book - sends her a plane ticket in the mail - just in time her to catch the 10:00 flight to NYC to meet him the next morning.What does she do? Well, with no hesitation of the slightest, she gets on a plane and swings into action with the first guy - whom she hardly knows.I finally decided to give this book a rest, ladies. This chick has more sex in one month than i could have in a year. I know our "cooters" are "self-cleaning ovens", but this chick didn't give her "oven" time to cool off.I would also think most men IF they are astute, sense when a woman has been sexed by someone else less than 12 before he "hits it". Not Chase, he dove right in - no questions asked.After reading this, (thank gawd, for free), i decided i'll pass on 50 Shades of Grey, and any other "erotica" for that matter. Thank you Miss Wilder.

So she's a big girl and the future rock star makes her aware that she's a goddess, then she hooks up with her business partner who she dumps when the rock star yanks her chain. Have a little self respect and use some condoms would ya??Then she catches the rock star being groped by goupies and jumps on a plane and runs home. Here is what I don't understand, she left her roomste with nobody to share the rent, her business partner nobody to help with the business and now she has no source of income?? Are all these people independently wealthy? Then Jeff forgives her and asks her to marry him, she can't say yes but the next day Chase shows up with a ring too?? And as somebody else already said, the sex scenes got tedious, at oun point she used some form of the word hold 7 times within a page and a half, and yes I am going to hold that against her. Won't read the rest of the series, wouldn't anyway because my idea of a series is Jaime gets a book, Jeff gets a Book, Chase gets a book etc, one couple per book, after that they can be background characters
