In the cutthroat business of network news, thin is in, and Shelly Piper's size-twelve curves relegate her to behind-the-scenes reporting. But even network exec Jack Halloran has image problems. Jack's judged too handsome to handle the real news. So Jack launches his own news show on Denver's public television station and hires Shelly as his coanchor. But while Jack and Shelly work together on down-and-dirty hard news stories, all Shelly can think of is Jack...until the ratings come in. Viewers are demanding a thinner Shelly.

Shelly has come too far to lose her job--or a dress size.

      Starred review from August 29, 2005
      In this superior contemporary romance from Myers (Do Me Right
      ), Shelly Piper, a Denver television reporter, leaves her job at a local network and takes a position as a coanchor at a nearby PBS station, where she excels as a journalist. She builds a good professional relationship with Jack Halloran, her hunky boss and coanchor, that later blossoms into something more personal, though Shelly, a "substantial" size 12 in a size 4 industry, must struggle with her self-image. The author convincingly explores the bonds of women's friendships as Shelly's best friend, Yvonne, plans her wedding to Daniel, and Shelly argues that Yvonne is agreeing to undergo breast augmentation surgery only to please her fiancé. Myers's ability to portray true-to-life sympathetic characters will resonate most with readers of this captivating romance. Agent, Pamela Hopkins.
