A fun BBW Roller Derby Romance


After being dumped by her live-in boyfriend, who she had supported through college, Hayley is tricked into trying out for the local roller derby team--the Selby Slammers.

At the tryouts hilarity ensues when she leaves her mark on some of the hunky men in the inline hockey team practicing on the next rink over.

"At least this time I didn't end up hungover with a tattoo on my butt--I mean--Hayley is a good girl, sweet, hard working girl that would never hurt a fly, let along her best friend, who often gets her drunk and permanently inked. Adam is such a stupid poopy-head!

Ahem, frog in my throat. I think I'm getting a migraine, so I better leave before I puke all over your expensive-looking shoes…bye!" -- Hayley

Warning: This story is set in New Zealand and is therefore written in New Zealand English.

Fun!
This was a laugh out loud book, full or crazy adventures and maybe some romance to come. I really enjoyed it!

Cute!
This was a great introduction to great characters. I'm hoping that the next book will be out soon. I'm totally on team Rick though!

    This is the first book in this series and the first book by this author that I have read. I really enjoyed it. If you are looking for a book with humour, then look no further. The heroine is a bigger girl by the name of Hayley, and the story is told from her point of view. The way she tells the story is like she is talking directly to you, and she has you laughing with her internal monologue.
    Great read and heading straight into book two.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Derby Girl!! What's That?
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Harley was being driven home by her best friend, Adam. She had one of her all encompassing migraines. Her fiance was moving out, with a skinny blonde waiting by the car. Adam came in and decided they were going out. She decided migraine meds and sleep, then out and friend time.
    He takes her to the roller rink, she's never been before. They get snacks and drinks. They guy watch. There are a lot of families and people yelling.
    Adam has to explain that it was Roller Derby. He also explained the rules. She decided she liked it. Then she found out why Paul liked it, when the ref. waved at him.
    After Roller Derby, came the Men. More men watching for them both. Who needs that Paul fellow. Adam, being the best friend in the world, stayed the night, because he knew the crying would start. Her fiance of three years is gone with a girl that looks like a toothpick. Yes there was crying. Then there was, we saw some fine looking men tonight. Then move over its my turn in the bathroom, how much did we drink?
    I volunteered to review this ARC book using my own opinion.

    2.0 out of 5 stars None of the above are the reasons why I disliked the ex-fiancee
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2015

    I am still wondering if this book was going or coming.
    Her fiancee left her.
    Possibly for another woman (which really isn't clear or proven because: 1) The girl was waiting downstairs 2) He didn't expect his fiancee to be at home when he left so he had no reason to have this girl at a distance)
    The fact that he could say he was legally entitled to half of HER savings would insinuate that they ha been living together long enough that a common law marriage would be accepted as an argument by any court, yet, all of his belongings were able to fit into two bags. Either he had been moving out way longer than that and she never noticed or he never really lived with her really.
    None of the above are the reasons why I disliked the ex-fiancee. I didn't like him because he was evidently a scam artist.
    He convinced her to leave school and support him and when he got a job after law school he would reciprocate so they could save to be married.
    Then he leaves right after his final exams when he has effectively finished with law school. I am thus inclined to believe that he never had any intention upon marrying her and she was just a convenient cash cow to milk.

    After that the whole story goes to hell in my estimation.
    The character gets dumped and then is lusting after another guy on the SAME DAY. The actual parts about the roller derby aren't expounded upon effectively
    And the guy trying to steal her underwear out of nowhere?!

    This book was too short.and ended too abruptly to achieve anything but to cause me to scratch my head and wonder 'what the heck did I just read?'

    3.0 out of 5 stars Forgot I ever read this book...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 18, 2017

    In my opinion, all these writers doing short story series are just trying to make money instead of thinking about the reader. I would rather buy the whole story as one book than a serial of short stories. I'm likely not going to buy the next, even though the story was good because I can buy a whole novel instead. I digress; I actually really enjoyed it, it's a good romance with fun and flirty moments, I'd just really like it all in one please. The short story is supposed to end after a few thousand words or so, if you want to write a whole story write it in one so the reader gets to enjoy the whole story. One ends up forgetting sometimes you ever read the book because other whole stories distract you before you come back to amazon to buy the next short story in the series

    Good short story. I''m not big on serials, but this one has me wanting more. It also didn't end with a huge cliff hanger. I look forward to reading more by this author.
