GRR Review: Stardust by Mimi Strong

"Stardust" by Mimi Strong is a BBW small town romance where a major Hollywood star arrived in town for a movie and fell for the local... BBW. It's cute, and the author has a way of making up some terms that can be a turn off... or outright funny, depending on your mood. To recap:
Petra "Peaches" Monroe is a plus-sized sassy blonde managing a small town bookstore, and one day a man ran into her store, literally knocking her off her feet and into his arms. Turns out he was hiding out from reporters chasing a scoop, and he was Dalton DeAngelo, the hottest star on TV. To thank Peaches, Dalton went with her to a wedding in which she was bridesmaid, and was a great hit. And Dalton wanted to see her a lot more. But Peaches has a bit of self-esteem problem... Was he playing a role, having a fun-fling with a small-town girl... or could he even be... serious? 
The author definitely has a flare of using some surprising language and analogies for the naughty bits. Care to guess what would "meowling kitty" and "zesty taco zone" referring to? It's almost LOL funny at times, but it can also turn some people off. I find the bantering rather amusing.

One thing I really do hate is the cliffhanger ending, as there are two more volumes to this... which I won't spoil. Let's just say when his fame splashed onto her, neither would ever be the same.
