and am pretty much naive in the ways of the world, so to speak. So when I read this it's exactly as how I'm thinking, which is amazing! Noah is also written very well, from his history of living on the streets being abandoned by his family .. to the shrewd businessman. I mean, how could you not love the guy? Plus, the major plus here is that he actually liked Grace exactly as she is .. no 50lbs less or something like that. And that was a major revelation .. no book I've read has ever had the fat girl get the guy off the bat. I'm so disappointed when I read and the heroine is 90% of the time a tiny little thing. The other 10% is the tall and statuesque ones .. which well is basically the same thing :) It's just so inspiring to read a book like this. In fact I re-read it every month.
The scenes with Grace & Noah together were very well written. The intimate scenes might be a little too graphic, for some people, but they were wonderfully graphic enough for me. All very sweet and sexy .. and they actually talk and laugh and play around with each other. Great dialogue.
I do hope more authors won't be afraid to write about real plus-sized heroines and not cop-out in the end. Some books I HAVE enjoyed with large heroines are Lisa Kleypas "Suddenly You" and Susan Kings "Halfway To Heaven".

Summary: A great, sensual romance novel
Review: I loved this book. It made me smile, laugh and cry...
Grace has had little experience with men and feels too awkward and insecure because she is overweight . She has known Noah for three years, and loved him for nearly as long.
After discovering his fiancée in the arms of a lover, Noah Harper breaks off his engagement. He wants Grace and wants to make love to her again and again, but he doesn't want anything more complicated than that... and Grace deserves better.
Alhough Grace wants desperately to be with Noah, she has too much pride to take advantage of him while he is drunk. Much to her surprise, she discovers that Noah wants her even when he is sober. In fact, he gets mad whenever she puts herself down and leaves her no room to doubt that he genuinely finds her sexy.

Summary: Sexy story with a plus-sized heroine
Review: Noah Harper has his life planned out. He'll marry Kara, work for his grandmother, and generally be a normal sort of guy. Except when he walks in on Kara in bed with someone else, he doesn't get mad, he gets relieved. Maybe, he realizes, he didn't really want Kara much in the first place. As to what he really wants, he doesn't figure out until voluptuous Grace Jenkins walks into his apartment to offer her support. Grace is his grandmother's secretary but she has been in lvoe with Noah for years. As long as he was engaged to Kara, she wouldn't do anything. But when Noah announced he wants Grace for his love slave, she's happy to oblige.
Being a love-slave is a joy for Grace--even if she did start out a virgin. Noah is a considerate lover with incredible recuperative powers and a non-stop imagination. Still, Grace is a little bit sad to know that she'll never be able to hold him. Hunky guys like Noah don't settle for fat girls like Grace--at least that's what she tells herself. When she tells Noah that, he tells her not to call herself fat and spanks her until she agrees.
Author Lori Foster delivers a sexy and fun romp. There isn't a lot of conflict and not much of a plot at all, but if you're looking for steamy sex, a hunky hero, and a virgin heroine who is both submissive and spunky, this is the book for you.

Summary: What A Book!!
Review: This was the first book of Lori Foster's that I read and WOW what a book! This book was hot, sexy, thrilling, intriguing, and one to read over and over and over. I wish she would write another like this one (plus-size, thinks-she's-ugly, low self-esteem girl wins handsome, loving, sweet man). This book is one that I have begun to read from whatever page I open first and it's like reading it for the first time, every time. (Even the spine is cracked and creased!) If you have any qualms about buying the book, STOP! Buy it--you won't regret it!!

Summary: Too hot, Too sweet, Too short
Review: I loved this book! It's fun and sexy.
I've read many complaints about the lack of story line. However that's one of the things that makes this book a keeper. It's main focus is centered on the relationship between Grace and Noah. Unlike most other books, the characters don't get swallowed up by long, overly dramatic plots. 75% of the book illustrates their feelings for each and of course the sex. It does have a small story line but it never draws your attention away from the matter at hand: Noah + Grace = sex (&love). I'm definitely happy with my purchase. I enjoy all kinds of novels. Some long, some short, some modest, some freaky, some suspensful, some lustful. "Too Much Temptation" is a welcome addition to my library!

Summary: Glad I took a chance!
Review: For months I seriously debating on buying this book because the reviews were such a mix from very good to very bad. But I found it used and it was a good decision. Grace was loyal, protective, bright and a good friend. Her only problem was she was ashamed of her appearance. She had spent her whole life being teased and humilitated in regards to her weight. She had no self confidence and dressed and conducted herself to be as inconspicous as possible. She never realized that she had morphed from an overweight child to a voluptous woman.
Noah's grandmother found him living on the streets 16 years ago. He had since followed a plan he believed would please her and ensure his own security. The right clothes, the right car, the right fiance. After catching his fiance "in the act" he really consciously noticed Grace for the first time. He became involved in an affair with her and realized what a truly beautiful person she was, on the inside and out.
Due to Noah's attention and praise Grace acquired a self-confidence, sensuality and "glow". It's said that Marilyn Monroe could walk down a New York City street in very plain clothes, scarf, sunglasses,head down and no confidence in her stride. But when her head came up, sunglasses came off and she turned on "Marilyn" she would stop traffic. It's this sort of transormation that made everyone suddenly notice Grace and made Noah realize the woman he'd wanted all along.
Good book!

Summary: Is it hot in here or what?
Review: Amazon.com recommended this book to me and I just had to read it after looking through some of these reviews. Hot, sexy, sizzling book. The story is not bad either.
If you have never read a Lori Foster novel, you must get this one because it will definitely make you a fan.

Summary: Enthralling..........
Review: How can you not love any of Lori Fosters books. Again she churns out a hot little read. I read in in one day.
I loved Noah Harper and Grace Jenkins and even the pesky Grandma Agatha. Again did I mention it was a hot read. Well let me say it again hot. hot. hot.
Of course if you are easily offended and rather prude don't read this book. It was rather sensual in lots of places.
I wasn't going to buy this book at first but now that I have bought it and read it I will read the next book about Noah's brother Ben Baldwin.

Summary: No Good
Review: I read more than halfway through this book until I finally chunked it across the room out of disappointment. I have a couple of reasons as to why I didn't enjoy this book:
I was pleasantly surprised at first that the author decided to make the main character Grace as a full, curvy woman who gets the man. I was sorely disappointed upon reading more into the book that Grace was written to be absurdly naive and even downright stupid at times which made me not care for her at all.
Secondly, the plot was very weak, very underwritten and nearly bored me to tears.
Thirdly, the sex scenes were mundane and did not excite me in the least bit! It seemed as if the author held back a lot when writing this book, especially when writing out the sex scenes especially when this was supposed to be an 'erotic' book. Trust me, it was FAR from that.
