PHAT and loving it!

Cathy Chambers is a 40-year-old literary agent who is beautiful, intelligent, a big Yankees fan, and (oh yeah) full-figured. All her life, Cathy has tried to become comfortable with her body. With an overbearing mother, a job she loves but that keeps her busy, and twin sons that just started college, Cathy didn't have much time to think about her weight. That is until she meets Yankees baseball star Marcus Fox. Marcus is a drop dead gorgeous athlete that has dated his share of models and actresses. When he happens to notice Cathy dining alone, he knows he has to get her attention. Cathy can't believe that 'The' Marcus Fox is interested in her because she is...Not His Type. Not His Type is an excellent book. Canton does a great job with making characters believable and relatable. The secondary characters help make this story. Canton also does a wonderful job with integrating a topic that is very real in our society. With most of the population not being a size zero, Not His Type gives full-figured women a chance to be apart of a genre where most of the heroines are too perfect to be real.

Just His Type

Chamein Canton is the author of In "Not His Type". I saw this book in the store when it first came out and I have to tell you I just fell in love with Chamein for a new author to me I was not disappointed. Chamein take us on a journey about love in this book. Meet Catherine Chambers who is a literary agent in NY, Cathy die hard Yankee fan and when she is presented with the opportunity to meet one of her all time favorite Marcus Fox she is over the moon. Cathy promotes her authors and she is hardly ever in the spot light. Catherine is a full-figured woman who has sworn off dating and love due to romantic disappointments of the past, as well as trying to come to terms with a stifling childhood due to her very religious mother. Cathy has already decided that she is not Marcus's type. Yankee star Marcus Fox and is every woman dream and once he meet Catherine he knew she was difference and that she will become his new love interest, and that in itself surprised even Marcus. This quiet confident, voluptuous beauty. Now when Marcus make up his mind there is not stoping him and he wanted Ms. Catherine Chambers, but like all relationsip nothing runs smoothly. The story of Marcus and Cathy is filled with a delightfully,intriguing characters including her sister & cousin and friends, players in the baseball and publishing worlds and the media who can't seem to leave well enough alone. Catherine & Marcus have to deal with media not understand how a fine developed, and highly pursued bachelor like Marcus could develop and fall in love with a non-model, non-actress, everyday woman who is pencil thin. I tell you in this book you have some up and down emotion but you can feel how much they love each through out this book. If you love romance you will love this book I couldn't put the book down and I have to say that Chamein Canton has a new reader. I can't wait to see what Chamein has coming out next, and yes I have read Bliss & and her lastes "The More Things Change" which is the sequel to "Not His Type" Louise

Not a Yankee Fan

This was a great story. Loved the main characters and how the story developed. Real people leading real lives. Even if he does play for the Yankees . . .

Great book!!!

I highly recommend 'Not His Type' by Chamein Canton. The characters were well developed. As were the secondary characters. It was wonderful to watch as the romance developed. There was just enough drama from Marcus' ex-girlfriend to keep the book moving. I read the book in a day, because I didn't want to put it down. My sister has already finished it as well. We both agree this was an outstanding book. It's been added to my keeper list.

Excellent!!!

This book is a keeper and will be part of my library that I read again and again. A wonderful love story. I loved Cathy and Marcus and all the support that they had from their family and friends. I can't wait for Ms. Canton's next book.
