‘Some husbands bought their wives flowers, others bought jewellery. Mine? He returned the things he stole.’
I should have known better. Hot guys didn’t hit on big girls without an agenda. They didn’t approach them in bars and talk their way into your bed. They also didn’t make you feel beautiful and proud of your curves. But I was going through a dry spell—actually, I’d kind of been going through a dry spell all my life—and dry spells sucked. Of course I slept with him.
I was such a fool.
I believed his lines. Fell for his easy smile; the man swept me off my feet, rocked my world, then robbed me blind.
I really needed a three date rule.
Angry and embarrassed, I engaged the help of my best friend to track the thief down and make him return what he took. But when I found him, he wasn’t alone....
What does a girl do when she finds not one thief, but an entire family?
She marries into it, of course.

Go out they said. Have fun they said. Hook up they said.
Yeah, that worked well for lovely Holland!
I freaking adore her. She has body image issues like so many of us do, and I couldn't help but cheer for her when she meets McHottie.
Now, him, I am still not sure what I think of him. He is sweet and sexy and all kinds of goodness wrapped in a skin suit. Then he is a d!ck and an ar$e and I want to beat the crap out of him with my kindle.
Oh what an emotional roller coaster we are taken on with *him* and Holland. I laughed, I swooned, I fanned myself cos things get reeeeal hot. Then I cried, I threw my Kindle across the couch, I cursed so loud I am sure the neighbours were wondering what was going on.
I have a love/hate relationship with quite a few of the characters actually! I know as we get more of this series (yes, there will be more) I will love and hate them all still - and I can't wait for it!
I love love love that Ms Anderson writes her books in Australia - so many Aussie authors set their books overseas, and it is always refreshing when they don't.
Fast paced, beautifully written, I am impatiently awaiting more.
Please don't make me wait too long!
Bestselling Author of the Beautiful Series, Drawn and 47 Things, Lilliana has always loved to read and write, considering it the best form of escapism that the world has to offer.
Australian born and bred, she writes New Adult Romance revolving around her authentically Aussie characters with all the quirks you’d expect from those born Down Under.
Lilliana feels that the world should see Australia for more than just it's outback and tries to show characters in a city and suburban setting.
When she isn't writing, she wears the hat of 'wife and mother' to her husband and four children.
Before Lilliana turned to writing, she worked in a variety of industries and studied humanities and communications before transferring to commerce/law at university.
Originally from Sydney's Western suburbs, she currently lives a fairly quiet life in suburban Melbourne.
