"Fatty Patty" is the cruel nickname that followed Pepper to high school graduation. Five years later, she's back at her reunion to prove it hasn't defined her. In her slim Kate Spades, she'll show them all - her underachieving classmates and especially the boy who broke her heart.
But Pepper's not the only one who's changed in five years. She's not the only one who has regrets about the things that were, and especially weren't, said.
And she's not the only one who plans to use this chance to rewrite history...
FATTY PATTY is the first in a series of new short stories set around the crisp green San Juan Islands in Northwestern Washington. Refreshing as an iced vanilla latte and local as a salad with Ranch dressing and sesame seeds, these stories capture the essence that every journey - no matter how far - is truly about finding your way back home.
I write sexy, swearing, adventurous Contemporary and Science Fiction Romance. I live for delicious tea, my two cats, and hiking in the gorgeous Cascade mountain range. My favorite author is Anne McCaffrey. I love everything she wrote and only wish she put in more smooches.
This is such a sweet short story. I love the second chance romance theme. I also love the way they had their reconciliation conversation. I thought the plot was too simple though. And of course, short. I needed more Pepper and Julian moments.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Whenever I feel in a very negative mood I read this short read. It's beautiful. I personally think that for a 23 page read it's worth it.
A great short romantic read that will have you swooning.
Logging short stories to meet my reading goal, I have no shame.
This was okayish. Very predictable but I'm known to like Harlequin books. A bit dissapointed in the writer not checking whether her use of French was correct or not. (Hint: it was not)
This is a short story meant to be read in just a few minutes. Something you can read on your lunch break. It was an Amazon Freebie and the 1 review it had said it was cute and clean. My version of "clean" is a little different as this has some language in it that turned me off. It was an ok read, one I stuck with until the end because it was so short, but I didn't really connect with any of the characters but I can't complain as it was a freebie.
