A few hard truths…Don’t bet on Hasselhoff, Bigfoot might actually exist, and searching for the impossible may lead you to your heart’s desire…

It’s a big fat hairy deal when I lose yet another bet to my best friend, Rena. Not only do I end up attending Bigfoot meetings with her kooky Aunt Phyllis, I find myself traveling with a band of reality TV, Sasquatch-hunting nut-jobs! Not to mention a suspiciously shady film crew. As if those little nuggets weren’t enough to send me on the express-train to Crazytown…I stupidly swore off men!

Clearly all this would mess up any gal’s social life, but the worst part of the story? The minute I send my libido on vacation, I meet Mitch. Yep, Mitch, the sexiest cop ev-ah. The hottest, best kissing, finest tushied, SINGLE guy I’ve ever laid eyes on. I’d rather be hot on his trail than anything that involves the word Big or Foot. But sometimes what you’re hunting for has been right in front of you all along …

I giggled and giggled reading this one. You have to be OK with zany, over-the-top humor, creatively foul language and steamy (sometimes weird) adult content but, if you are, then prepare yourself for a romping good time. Size Matters is quirky, so far out of the box that it can’t even see it anymore, hilarious, cheesy, sweet, and touching.

The characters are as out-there as you can get but they are still very appealing in their wackiness. Colorful and crude, they still have big hearts – they care about each other and are supportive. After spending some time with them, Kristy realizes that there is so much more to them than the wackiness they show the world. Add in a romance with a hot cop (with a mighty fine butt), plus something weird going on in the woods of Minnesota, and Peterman manages to deliver an enjoyable and interesting plot mixed in with some of the craziest (but loveable) people in the North.

If you are ready to laugh out loud, to the point of snorting, Size Matters is the book for you. You have to be in the mood for screwball comedy (think old I Love Lucy shows times ten) but underneath all of the ridiculousness and silliness, there is also a love story and a heartfelt tale about there being more than meets the eye – the perfect combination to make you laugh and sigh.

(Size Matters is part of Peterman’s ”Handcuffs and Happily Ever Afters” series, but only in that some of the characters are recurring – this is my first and I didn’t notice any problems keeping up with it and I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything. Well, except all the fun that had to have happened if it was anything like this one.)
