A review by mandy_pandy
Cream of the Crop, Volume 2 by Alice Clayton

3.0

I really love this author's writing and I was so excited for this book - I love the idea of a confident plus-size heroine who doesn't see the fact that she's curvy as an imperfection. Natalie is a very confident heroine and I liked that but my issue is that at times, it seemed she was more arrogant and conceited than just confident. I don't know how many times it was mentioned that she could get any guy she wanted but it was getting super annoying. Also, I really needed Oscar's POV for this one - I had a hard time connecting with him and their relationship. And what was the deal with his ex-wife???? Even still, there was a lot of chemistry between these two and I loved the steamy scenes. Maybe I didn't enjoy this one because I was in a bad mood on the day I read it or maybe I didn't enjoy it because my expectations were too high after reading and loving Nuts. I might try to re-read this one someday to see if my feelings change but as for now I have to say that this book really missed the mark for me.
