| The Shape of A Woman begins with dramatic impact and just builds from that point, captivating the reader’s attention and making immediate empathy with the lead character not only possible but unavoidable. Cutting edge fashion designer Muriel Simmons of Evanesque Designs has suddenly and unaccountably misplaced her edge. The sexy, slim, and adorable designs she’s always turned out have turned to clunky, chunky, and dull. Muriel’s designs are only a symptom of Muriel’s inner turmoil. She’s begun to perceive herself in elephantine terms, and as her personal body image perception deteriorates, so too do her drawings. Boss Jacob Evans is distraught, both over the horrid designs and over Muriel’s personal despair, and he sets out to improve her attitude. The deadline for production on the new fashion line is looming, but more important is Muriel’s despair over her age, her weight, and her perceived loss of looks. Jacob has a plan; it’ll require effort, but his long-time best friend is worth whatever energy—and subtle planning-is required to put her back together better than ever before. S. D. Grady delivers a very, very sensually hot story that will gratify readers who see themselves as less-than-perfect physically and will simultaneously heat up every reader. Do not read this one without a partner, toys, and ice near at hand. |
