GRR Reviews Big Beautiful Bride For The Reluctant Preacher by Rosie Attwood

The book Big Beautiful Bride for the Reluctant Preacher pretty much described the plot of the whole book, and kinda hit us over the head, not once but multiple times about how curvy she is. Argh.

Emily is a BBW and nobody wanted her in New York in the 1800's... except Rodrigo, who's after her family business and money. When her friend Katie who mail-order bride herself out West wrote her, she decided she needed to get away for a while and visiting Katie is perfect. Maybe she can even find love there. Except the only guy who really grabbed her attention, Ray Benson, was a preacher who claimed to have no interest in marriage, believing to serve God he needed to stay single. Can Emily convince Ray that being single may not be God's intended path for him?

Eh... not feeling much. At just over 100 pages, the book managed to wrap up with Ray's epiphany, which is basically a deus ex machina. However, the book also ended with a bit of a cliffhanger, when Rodrigo came to town, intending to take Emily back. Meh. There are 3 more books in this series documenting the same couple's trials and tribulations. I wouldn't recommend this book by itself. Maybe if you buy the whole series at once...
