Publisher Description
Rian Thompson thought she joined the gym to get healthy. Little did she know she was about to add hundred and ninety pounds of swoonworthy abdominal muscles and arrogance to her life.
Every day in Rians’s life follows a predictable pattern, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s got a nice job, a nice place to live, and a nice family – even if they are a little wedding-zilla-ish at the moment.
She doesn’t need anything spectacular to be happy. She just needs to get healthy – mentally, physically. . . and maybe spiritually if that happens. But she’ll settle for two out of three until her sister finally gets hitched.
Carlos Davies thought his life was perfect. Little did he know it was about to be turned upside down by a woman who is not his type.
In Carlos’s mind, his life is damn near perfect. He’s got a great job, a great place to live, and a great stash of pick up lines that always work. It has occurred to him that maybe no one actually takes him all that seriously. But with these bulging biceps and thick, dark hair, does that even matter since he’s never sleeping alone?
Welcome to Weight Expectations, where great—and unexpected—things happen.

Big girl romance
This story is about two late 30s / early 40s adults getting over their own hangups and finding true companionship. The heroine is delightfully snarky, thus is a good fit in the Smartypants universe. The sexual content is kept to a minimum, so my grandmother (who’d be 117 if she was still around to be reading her romance novels) would approve — her standard was no sex before page 100, as that would be “too early in the relationship for that sort of shenanigans”. This story doesn’t need the graphic scenes as filler; there is plenty of plot.
Really funny!
I couldn’t put this down. It was so funny and fast paced. The author did a great job of putting me back on the knitting in the series world.
I’m loving the Smartie pants romances.
This is Carlos’s story! I remember meeting him for the first time in Neanderthal Seeks Human and I always liked him. I’m glad to read that Carlos has found a woman who is worthy of him and still willing to put up with him. I also really liked Rian, I understand her struggles, I think there are a lot of women who have gone through and are still going through what she has.
