The Accidental Swipe: A steamy BWWM funny romance by Y.M. NelsonMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
DNF at 42%.
Fortune Edwards is a plus-sized beautiful woman with a major crush on Graham, the guy who runs her local grocery store. Her gay BFF persuades her to join a body-positive online dating site called SwipeMatch where she thinks she may have matched with Graham, unfortunately her match's profile picture is a group shot and he could be one of two guys. Of course its the other guy.
Jason Reed has no trouble dating, but he just isn't feeling a connection with any of the string of skinny, beautiful women he's hooked up with or been introduced to by friends since his long-term relationship ended. Persuaded to join SwipeMatch by one of his friends he is immediately smitten by Fortune's picture and loves talking to her.
Fortune and Jason really hit it off but she is worried that this is a joke to him, or he'll eventually leave her for someone thinner. On his part, given his track record he doesn't want to lead her on so is unwilling to commit to anything more than the next date.
This didn't really seem to be going anywhere and there was something about the writing style that put me off. I don't know if it was the constant references to Fortune eating cakes or the way in which she seemed both highly confident and lacking in confidence at the same time. Anyway, I gave it a good shot but at nearly halfway through it just wasn't grabbing me.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
