An appetite for sensual pleasures must never be denied...

Lily Ellis has curves -- soft, beautiful curves. The kind of voluptuous body she fears Travis Carson, the man she's always loved from afar, would never crave. But Lily is about to be proven wrong. Her adventure begins when the demure San Francisco interior decorator agrees to model a plus-size dress for her fashion designer sister. Watching this sensual beauty move down the runway, Travis can't believe it's the same Lily he's always known -- and always rejected. In a whirlwind of electric attraction, Lily is soon moaning Travis's name in his bed, not just in her wild fantasies. But Lily is all too aware that she's nothing like his past lovers.
 
Determined to beat Travis at his own game by guarding her true feelings, Lily partners with him on a business deal that takes them all the way to Italy. In the seductive warmth of the Tuscan sun, Lily plays a game of desire with the hot-blooded Travis. Will she be burned by an all-consuming ecstasy or will Travis open his heart to the sexy, exciting, and lasting love she has to offer?

I always see this on the bookshelves in bookstores and I'm curious if this is any good. In fairness, I did enjoy it. :) I guess it's because of that long unrequited love. As I've mentioned a couple of times before, I've always been a sucker for that kind of love stories. :) Though, I think Lily's issue of being insecure of herself had been pushed too long... When I thought that it's over already, it's the same again at the end and it was already getting old. But putting those aside, overall, I still enjoyed reading this book.
