Good Girls Do, Bad Girls Don't. Now meet Big Girls...
After her plus-size modeling career tanks, Leena Riley becomes a receptionist in her hometown veterinarian's office. Too bad the vet is Cole Flannigan, a boy who taunted her all through school. Good thing Leena has grown into her curves, because he's about to grow very fond of her.
When her plus-size modeling career doesn't pan out, Leena Riley leaves Chicago and heads home to sleepy Rock Creek, PA, to lick her wounds, save some money, and try again. But her plans veer off course when the only job she can find is as a receptionist for the local veterinarian, sexy, flirtatious Cole Flannigan-a guy she'd decked in the sixth grade when he taunted her about her weight but who now seems to be attracted to her instead. A beautiful, superorganized but sometimes insecure heroine, a magnetic, commitment-shy hero, a cadre of unconventional pets, and a cast of quirky characters from Linz's earlier novels create a lively, often hilarious story that addresses some serious issues and treats fans to a delightful glimpse into the lives of these familiar folk. A non-weight-conscious heroine who isn't constantly on a diet is a refreshing change. Linz (Bad Girls Don't) is a seasoned writer of lighthearted romantic comedy; she lives in the Chicago area.

January 29, 2008: To me, this book was very good. I'll have to admit though that it was a bit slow to get into, but after the first 50 pages, it turned out ok. The only thing that I didn't really like was that Leena kept denying that she liked Cole. Their arguments were a bit annoying, but, other than that, it was an overall good read. The ending was my absolute favorite. I would recommend this book to any girl who loves a good laugh-out-loud romance that will leave them wanting more.
