Book Review: Curvy Girl and The Monster Next Door by Jessa Joy

 

Book Description

Who knew that monsters love curvy girls? Or that my gorgeous next door neighbor is a demon in disguise?

Mollie

Life gets kind of same-y here in Snowflake Falls. Yet another Halloween when I’m stuck on my own.

But then my mysterious high school crush moves next door. So far, so good. The only trouble is, he seems different… but not in a bad way. He’s bigger, hotter and more mysterious than ever. I'm intrigued and I want to find out more. A big Halloween party is the perfect opportunity to get to know him better. Sparks are flying between us faster than a bat outta hell.

And why does this handsome devil look like he wants to eat me right up?

Brad

I was a big deal in high school but life had other plans. Being turned into an enormous horned monster certainly wasn’t on the agenda. It's been all tricks and no treats so far while I try to keep myself hidden away.

I’ve stayed away from my hometown as long as I can but a family issue means I'm needed back in town. The first thing on my mind is the gorgeous curvy girl who's haunted my dreams for the last five years. By a quirk of fate, she’s also my new next door neighbor. I can't help imagining what it would be like to get close to her. Really close.

But how could this perfect angel want to be with a monster like me?

Part of the Curvy Girls Date series featuring curvy women and the men who fall head over heels for them. Short, steamy reads with no cheating and always a HEA!

My Review

Mollies sister was popular in high school while she wasn't at all. Most of the popular girls made fun of her and that made her not like going to parties. She had a huge crush on Brad who was on the football team and very popular. They talked once and he was nice to her but they wouldn't see each other again for 5 years when he comes back to town a different man. 

Mollie is all grown up 5 years later and she's a writer of romance books. I loved that about her. But Brad has a huge secret and he doesn't realize that danger follows him back to town. Brad is half demon and he's stuck in his demon form. He hides under masks, hoodies and makeup. When he finds out Mollie lives next door to him, he has a hard time staying away from her and she doesn't mind because she still has a huge crush on him. So when Halloween comes around and the town has a big party, he decides to go as himself, a demon. What other day of the year could be better to go out as himself, it looks like a great costume, no one will be the wiser. 

He talks Mollie into going with him and they have a good time until Mollie gets overwhelmed and runs away. But Brad can't stay away and he's afraid to tell Mollie what he really is. 

Things take a turn when someone from Brad's past comes calling and puts Mollie in a dangerous situation. This was such a great monster romance and I loved the ending. I liked that there was an epilogue at the end so we get to see how they are getting along about a year later. They were so sweet together. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
