Synopsis

From Book 10:

Once again, Carl Weber brings together two literary divas to give readers what they’ve been asking for: empowering stories about big, beautiful women.
 
"Birthday Girl" by Skyy: Coral has spent her life working toward her professional goals. Not wanting to follow in the footsteps of church friends who had children before they made it to college, Coral has decided to forgo relationships until her dreams come true. With her birthday approaching, she does not want to become a cliché 30-year-old virgin, so she sets her new goal to lose her virginity before her birthday. When she meets a mysterious drummer who leaves her floating on cloud nine, will he be the one to take her ultimate birthday gift? Or will it be the sweet church friend who doesn't excite her like the musician, but wants to give her more than just a memorable birthday?
 
"Fire & Icing" by Anna Black: Lynn Bryant has suffered through a monotonous marriage long enough with her husband, Chester. Longing for love, intimacy, and affection, Lynn finally throws in the towel. Forty-one and childless, she wants a man who is willing and ready to love her the way she deserves. General Contractor William Daniels appears to be the perfect man for the job. Lynn’s bakery, Fire & Icing, needs some repairs, so she hires him. Lynn manages to bake her way into Will’s heart, but will he be able to reconstruct hers?
