ARC REVIEW The Charm of You by Jennifer Probst

The Charm of You is a new book from Jennifer Probst it's her first book in the LWW. In the book Presley Cabot is one of the owners and founders of LWW, Ladies Who Write, well in real life the LWW is a group of seven authors who got together "to bring sexy love stories and emotional romance to our readers' lives. What's better than a fun, sensual ride to a happily ever after?" Sounds awesome right? Well this is just the beginning and lets hope we get many more books.

In college Presley Cabot was the overweight girl who had a crush on the track star Nolan Banks, but one night changed all that it changed her. It was one of the driving forces that lead to her losing 100lbs. But, Presley never really let go of the hurt so when she finds out he's moved back into town she plans a revenge scheme. When he doesn't even recognize her Presley's ego takes another blow but as her friends point out it's even better now she can seduce him reveal who she is and then dump him.

Nolan Banks has had a pretty easy life everything has always come so easily to him but when he changed careers from Wall Street to microbrewery/pub owner he discovered what it was like to work hard for something he loves and then comes Presley Cabot. Deep down inside he knew she was someone he needed in his life, but she's was holding back and then she revealed who she was and what happened that night all those years ago. Despite it all Nolan knows that what's between Presley and him is so much more than anything he's ever felt before and now he has to convince her the past wasn't what it seemed and to give them a chance.

At first I wasn't thrilled about the guy falling in love with the girl after she lost a whole bunch of weight but through the flashbacks Presley kept having we learn he liked her even back then when she was overweight. Through the flashbacks you really see how naive she was because to me it was obvious what was going on with Nolan even if it was from her POV. In keeping with Jennifer Probst fantastic writing style this book full of humor, heartfelt emotions, and characters that become more real than fiction.
