A New Body...
A New Life...
An Old Flame?
Lizzie Hampton is literally a shadow of her former self. Having lost half her body weight, she's headed to her small hometown to test out her new body on an old flame.
Just a harmless fling to get her self confidence back before she returns to
the city and the new man in her life.
But Lizzie's plan has a few bumps in the road.
Finn Robbins can't believe Liz is back in town. Desperate to be the holder of her innocence eighteen years ago, he never got the chance.
Now she's back and he can finally check her off his to do list.
But her friends, his son, and the mysterious Annie may have something to say about that.
This book contains 2-3 fairly graphic love scenes and the F-bomb is detonated somewhat frequently. If it was a movie, it would be rated a hard R.

4By NMS20032005Was a little concerned when I read the book summary that it might be a little trashy. Not the case. It was a great story, characters well developed, and an easy read.Worth the Weight

5By Don WeinI loved the character development, story line and how Worth The Weight ended. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. Look forward to reading more of the series.Worth the weight
5By Herbert NorvilleGreat bookBetter Than I Could've Imagined
5By BGwinI dove into this book unsure of what to expect, considering it was free on iBooks, but the concept was intriguing, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I would recommend it to anyone. So many romance novels are all about the sex and this one made it more about the characters and growth than about what happens beneath the sheets. I found myself mourning with the characters over lost years and bad decisions, but loving the realness of their lives and the decisions they made about the people they were or wanted to be. Couldn't put it down, thanks for a great read!I laughed, I cried, I emphasized.
5By Trappercat11As a +sized woman, I can relate to having a good figure to where my lack of self esteem resulted in a 75 pound weight gain. I worked hard to lose some, but I never had the drive or the goals to the weight I need to lose to be healthy. I liked this book primarily because she knew what she wanted and went for it. Now if I can stop my "eat this, it's good an I love you no matter how you look" husband, I may have a chance.Amazing!

5By Trippleb90This book was Amazing!!! It deserves more than 5 stars. Once you pick it up you can't put it down! Dealing with weight issues such a book hits home. The raw emotion between characters is mind blowing. I hope to have love like Finn and Lizzie. I can't wait to read the next book!Ruined by trash talk
2By Glenda4DogsIf the author had left out the beginning plot and trashy language, it could have been a good book. Too bad, would have bought the next book but won’t beause of the offensive language. It was out of place and not realistic.Worth The Weight
