The Scale: A Small Town Romance

 (Martha's Way Book 1)

By Mika Jolie 

Minka Greene is trying to get her life together.

She’s struggling with her weight, her nonexistent love life, and a million other imperfections. Worse, her twin sister is marrying the man she’s been secretly pining over. And she’s the maid of honor.

What else could life possibly throw her way?

Enter Jason Montgomery, the best man.

Mesmerizing blue eyes. Sculpted, ink-covered body. And absolutely dangerous.

He has the power to strip her bare and leave all her insecurities exposed.

But he’s making her feel things she’s never felt before.

And she could use a distraction.

Jason wants Minka Greene.

Her sweet sensuous curves, not her heart.

Life is complicated enough without the stress of relationships.

It was only supposed to be a tryst. How did feelings get involved?

And, why is it so difficult to let go?

What a beautiful reflection on what so many of us feel - the heroine struggles with her weight, like most of us do. Don’t you just hate the media and how it makes us feel so worthless because we cannot photoshop our bodies in real life? Anyway, I thought the portrayal of Minka was so brilliantly written and so very realistic in the telling. I really loved Minka’s character, and I want to thank the author for portraying a heroin that we can actually relate to.

I thought Jason’s portrayal was sublime. There really isn’t anything about this book that I did not like. A real gem of a book.
