A 24-book
bundle featuring a single, wide female.
Meet
Samantha, a 30-something, single woman with a weight problem. After losing so
much weight, she is more determined to complete her bucket list. This box set
features 24 novellas, one for each item on her bucket list.
#1 Learn
Pole Dancing: This was Sam’s chance to be proud of her own body—and to
exercise, too! Kinda hard to feel sexy when you walk into the class and it’s
hard to tell the difference between the pole and the pole dancers.
#2 Start a
Blog: Sam wants to start a blog about her bucket list journey. Problem? Not
very tech-savvy. “I need more life in my life.”
#3 Learn to
cook: The only cooking Sam ever does is in a microwave or a toaster. Figures
that she’d make smoke at her first cooking class.
#4 Create a
masterpiece: Sam wants to create the beauty that she sees everyday. The teacher
tells her, “Don’t just look at the bowl—go inside the bowl, walk around the
bowl, be the bowl.” WTF? Oh, and she had to draw a nude model. Suddenly, she
becomes the nude model?
#5 Run a
marathon: Sam wants to run toward life and has never been in a sports store
#6 Go Skinny
Dipping: Funny how this turns into a group thing
#7 Start
online dating: Sam learns that people are not all what they seem
#8 Learn
yoga: A battle with tiny yoga pants and an uncontrollable gas problem
#9 Be a
mentor: First day, she gets arrested
#10 Crash a
wedding: I agree with Max, her best friend, about marriage being a waste of
time
#11 Be a movie
extra: Sam ends up in a thriller movie and, of course, botches it.
#12 Join a
writing group: Real writers write because they must
#13 Enjoy a
spa day: a male masseuse
#14 Donate
blood: conquering a fear
#15 Learn
poker: Max and Sam enjoy a poker lesson, and she wonders if she can finally
tell him how she really feels about him
#16 Get a
tattoo: Sam shows her heart
#17 Host a
dinner party: Sam meets Blue, her one and only blog follower? Of course, she
nearly burns her kitchen down
#18 Publish
a book: Accepting criticism as well as praise
#19 Walk
across hot coals: Ouch!
#20 Learn to
swim: Don’t drown, Sam
#21 Learn to
meditate: Shut off your brain and don’t talk
#22 Quit my
job: Don’t we all?
#23 Learn to
Salsa: Eh
#24 Fall in
love: Will she finally tell Max how she feels? Will she finally get to meet
Blue? This was kind of a far-fetched item. It’s not like you can just turn the
corner and, oh yeah, there’s love.
Readers will
admire Sam’s will to find her confidence and enjoy her life. Her journey will
inspire anyone to start their own bucket list. Filled with wild, zany scenarios that could
only happen to klutzy Sam.
You’ll love
Samantha and her adventurous journey. These shorts stories are easy to read and
quick to get through. It’s much better to get the whole bundle.
Fun, flirty,
and enjoyable!
My rating: 4 stars
