Perfectly Imperfect
Series
by Leigh Carron
A Steamy, Contemporary
Romance now available
Years after fleeing small-town Springvale,
Illinois, Deanna Chase has picked up the pieces of her shattered heart and
built a new life for herself as a child advocacy lawyer. Her food addiction is
quasi under control, her secrets are buried, and she has even made a tenuous
peace with her plus-size body. Until…
Micah Peters—the very sexy and now famous man
she fled— walks through her office door and sends Dee reeling. His demand that
she help a young boy caught in a custody battle will reunite her with the past
she left behind.
Torn between duty and self-preservation, Dee
isn’t easy to convince. But when obligation wins, the former lovers get more
than they bargained for—a searing passion that burns hotter than ever and
startling revelations about what really happened the fateful night she left.
Will the truth set Dee free to love again? Or
will past hurts and lingering insecurities destine her to walk away from her
heart again, this time for good?
FAT GIRL is the first book in this provocative
two-part series about love and self-acceptance.
What people are saying about FAT GIRL:
5 stars - A brilliant romance novel with a difference by
By Olivia P:
Carron
portrays Dee’s insecurities absolutely faultlessly, from the little tugs she
habitually gives to her clothing when nervous, to the full-fledged horrified
panic at the thought of being seen naked in the daylight. When it comes to
romance novels, we’re so used to the women being picture perfect, and any
perceived imperfections being so minor as to be of little note, but here we
have a real ‘everywoman’ figure. And it’s about damn time!
Dee’s uniqueness
within the genre aside, the plot in Fat Girl is multi-layered and compelling,
and driven forward with a skilled hand. In some respects it stands alone;
Carron thankfully avoids the current tendency towards an infuriating,
cliffhanger ending, although as it’s book one of two there’s plenty left to
still be revealed, and I’m really looking forward to the next one.
A
brilliantly written, steamy, sexy, thought-provokingly wonderful novel.
Goodreads Reader – 5 stars –Pamela:
Wonderful!
I absolutely loved this novel. Loved all of the characters. Loved the back and
forth between the present and the past and the 1st person point of view that
knocked back and forth between the main male and female characters. Yes, there
is supposed to be another book after this one as a continuation of the story
line, but the ending is not a panic inducing cliffhanger. That's all I will say
about that.

About the Author:
Leigh is an
American living in Canada. Chocolate snob. Recovering yo-yo dieter. Devoted
mother and wife, blessed with a wacky family. Most nights, you will find me
either curled up with a great book or, more often, sitting at my computer,
tapping out the countless visions in my head. To me, there’s nothing better in
a narrative than perfectly flawed but strong characters and intense romance
that is sexy, deep, and sensual. Mm…I liken such stories to a box of Godiva.
Decadent and delicious! You can’t stop at just one. In fact, I’m now hard at
work on my next novel—A Naked Beauty, the conclusion to Fat Girl.
