Three Little Words by Jenny Holiday

July 4, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars CBR15 Bingo: Bodies Bodies (self-esteem issues, eating disorder) 15-word review: International supermodel Gia has an eating disorder, but eats when restaurant owner Bennet feeds her. Longer review: Gia Gallo is used to travelling in her job as a globe-trotting fashion model. Recently, she struggles with the fact that she doesn’t fit into the teeny tiny sizes of the clothes she’s supposed to model, and she’s not really sure if she’s not outgrown the whole industry, both in body size and motivation-wise.

Official book description: With her bridezilla friend on a DIY project rampage, bridesmaid Jane Denning will do anything to escape – even if it means babysitting the groom’s troublemaker brother before the wedding. It should be a piece of cake, except the “cake” is a sarcastic former soldier who is 100% wicked hotness and absolutely off-limits.   Cameron MacKinnon is ready to let loose after returning from his deployment. But first he’ll have to sweet talk the ultra-responsible Jane into taking a walk on the […]
