Rian Thompson thought she joined the gym to get healthy. Little did she know she was about to add hundred and ninety pounds of swoonworthy abdominal muscles and arrogance to her life. Every day in Rians’s life follows a predictable pattern, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s got a nice job, a nice place to live, and a nice family – even if they are a little wedding-zilla-ish at the moment. She doesn’t need anything spectacular to be happy. She just needs to get healthy – mentally, physically. . . and maybe spiritually if that happens. But she’ll settle for two out of three until her sister finally gets hitched. Carlos Davies thought his life was perfect. Little did he know it was about to be turned upside down by a woman who is not his type. In Carlos’s mind, his life is damn near perfect. He’s got a great job, a great place to live, and a great stash of pick up lines that always work. It has occurred to him that maybe no one actually takes him all that seriously. But with these bulging biceps and thick, dark hair, does that even matter since he’s never sleeping alone? Welcome to Weight Expectations, where great—and unexpected—things happen. 'Weight Expectations' is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book #1 in the Cipher Office series, Knitting in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

They've interacted once – the book so far covers a week and most the book has been repetition : they keep saying the same things over and over. And if a hero is going to bring up so many damn times that they don't want to get married or have kids then I want to respect that. Those things aren't for everyone. I feel like their relationship (if they ever interact again and in a way to build??? a relationship) will feel hella forced at this point.
Look, I love me a good ‘ol slow burn (sign me up for that club and give me the platinum card) but a romance can't be considered a slow burn when they've only interacted once, not including the two times he saw her and ignored her and the book is almost halfway over. A slow burn romance is all about the build up.
So, not thanks and now I'm hella sad because Cutie & the Beast sounds so cute but it is the same author and :(((( now I dunno if I should give it a try or not.
