MEL
How is it possible that no one else recognizes him at the gaming convention but me? He's the creator of the wildly popular online role-playing game, Warriors and Mystics . Then again, his attempt at a disguise would be laughable if it wasn't also kind of cute. When he asks me what I think of the latest expansion, I tell him the truth, but I quickly learn that was a big mistake. I could never have imagined that the genius who created my favorite game could be such a jerk.

HENRY
The latest expansion to Warriors and Mystics is out, but there is something wrong. Sales are dipping, and I need to find out why. With the National Gaming Convention in town, I decide to go in disguise to find out what the players think first hand. But after a run-in with a very beautiful but opinionated player, I lose my cool. When I come to my senses, I track her down and try to make things right, but will she accept my apology and allow me to make things right?

CURVY GIRLS' GUIDE is a series of short, sweet, and steamy romantic comedies about curvy girls trying to navigate the uncertain waters of modern dating and finding their happily ever after. Read DATING YOUR SECRET BILLIONAIRE if you enjoy shared secrets, billionaire romance, and witty banter! No cheating. No cliffhangers. HEA guaranteed.

I thought that this was a great short book. I really liked Henry and Mel together. These two have a bumpy couple of starts but eventually Henry and Mel are able to reach the end game together and get a great HEA. I can’t wait for the rest of the series! I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Lana as a wonderful author.

This short story moves along quickly and sweeps you us in Mel and Henry's romance. The story has good friends, connections, chemistry, family issues, inequalities, career worries, secrets, misunderstandings, standing up for what you believe in, honesty and love.

Gamer Girl gets trapped in an elevator with Gamer Guy which results in an insta-connection, an alpha moment, a make out session, and a down and dirty night together.

Overall, this was satisfactory short story. Had the author been more descriptive and a bit kinky in describing the dirty deeds, I would have been happier. However, I know that there is a mass of women who like spice but are uncomfortable with some words and actions. If you blush at the word pussy, this is your book... because the author definitely does not say pussy lol

I loved that this took place at a gamer convention and that the author touched on the discrimination that women face in the gaming world as well as the unwarranted hostile treatment. I have a daughter that games/streams on twitch and the shit that these men say is downright disgusting.

My only issue with this story is the title vs story. Mel wasn't described as being curvy. The description I read could describe any woman size 0 to 32. Which is NOT a bad thing. It leaves a lot to the imagination, but the series is called Curvy Girls Guide. I appreciate that the author didn't create fake ass insecurities and that our girl was pretty confident while naked, it would have been nice to somehow work in that she is a size 16/20 to justify the series title. Also, who was the secret billionaire?? This should have been Dating Your Boss's Daughter.

This is book number 2 of the Curvy Girls’ Guide series and focuses on Henry and Mel. Henry is the creator of a wildly successful video game but since the new expansion of his game, sales have decreased. He decides to go in disguise to a very popular gaming convention to see if he can get some honest feedback about why the expansion is struggling. Mel is at the convention to pitch her game idea to a company but after meeting Henry and listening to his feedback about the company, she decides to skip the meeting. Henry and Mel don’t have the greatest first meet, but when Henry stands up for her during a confrontation, they realize just how much the other person means to them. They have a slight bump in the road but thankfully they know what they want and go after their HEA. This was a great addition to the series!

The second book in Lana Dash's Curvy Girls' Guide, Dating Your Secret Billionaire, is a delightful, sexy, cool quick read. At a national gaming convention hoping to get her video game in front of one of the top companies, Mel meets billionaire game designer Henry. Their first meeting is less than auspicious, their second not much better, but when Henry comes to Mel's rescue, neither can deny the palpable chemistry. However, can something real come of their attraction when both are keeping secrets?

A delicious, bite-sized billionaire/curvy girl romance, another fun read in the Curvy Girls' Guide series!

This is the second book in the Curvy Girls' Guide series. It can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. Henry and Mel's story is a hot, short instalove. Like all of Lana Dash's stories you get a happy ending and a fun sweet and steamy short story. Henry is a billionaire thanks to his highly successful game but sales are dropping and he's not sure why. Mel has designed a game but can't find a company to produce it. Mel and Henry's attraction is strong and instant but will a misunderstanding ruin things between them?.

Love the series didn't like this FMC

So I love this series. I've read the first book and the newest one that comes out tomorrow. This book just doesn't do it for me. Mel is a gamer trying to release a game in a male dominated field. I get and respect it but the assumptions she throws around so quickly turned me off. You can be assertive without being rude and sometimes I found her rude as the assumption she jumped to st the end was annoying it felt like unnecessary drama. Loved Henry and I'm glad got her game and there guy in the end, this story just wasn't my favorite. Will read the next one in the series though. That one's about Charlie from book 1 😊

Part of a series but you don’t need to read the others to appreciate.

Mel is at a gaming conference determined to make her own a success story. While trying to make an appointment she gets locked with a billionaire maker of a popular game trying to hide his identity.

Henry wants to find out what the problem is with his new product. While trying to get away from the crowds his runs into Mel.

They both end up getting more out of the conference than they could have dreamed.

Mel goes to the gaming convention to pitch her video game, when she runs into the creator of the popular Warriors and Mystics. He tries to disguise himself but as far as she is concerned he fails miserably.

Henry is there to find out why his latest expansion is not selling like it should. When he runs into a beautiful game developer, he gets side tracked.

A misunderstanding threatens to derail the new lovers, can Henry fix before he loses her?.

Lipstick Vengeance

DATING YOUR SECRET BILLIONAIRE is the second book in the CURVY GIRLS' GUIDE series. This is a whimsical and fun story about Melanie "Mel" Connelly and Henry Morrison. What happens when two game developers cross paths at a gamer convention.........a lot of smoking how passion. Add in some drama, romance, family, friends and humor. I enjoyed this fast-paced and entertaining story. I really loved both Mel and Henry, as she is trying to make it in what is a "man's" industry and he is trying to get back his passion.

Mel is a programmer but get short shrift because she is a woman. She has a meeting with a company to release her game but comes across Henry,

After not going to the interview she puts her trust in him, until she sees him with her dad. Loved the story and the characters. It was a well thought out and rounded story. And you could feel the chemistry between the two main characters.

Can’t wait for more in this series.

I absolutely loved this story and these two characters. Mel and Henry meet at a gaming convention . Mel is trying to find someone who would be interested in the game she created, and Henry is trying to be undercover to see what his fans truly think of his game.
Instant attraction and chemistry between these two, right from the first interaction Henry knew Mel was something special and meant to be with him.

Henry is at the gaming convention undercover trying to figure out why his newest game isn’t doing well. Mel is at the gaming convention for the purpose of making a pitch for the game she’s just developed. From the moment they meet Henry and Mel have instant chemistry and a love of games. This was a fast paced story with a misunderstanding, a broken down elevator and lots of steam. A nice addition to this series. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Cute, fast read. I actually liked Mel quite a bit. Henry felt like a jerk and I never warmed up to him until the end of the story. I would have loved a longer read to get to know these characters a bit more. As it was, it’s a fun read with a great HEA.

One Goal

Two people have the same goal, their games success. Mel wants an investor to back her game. Henry wants to find out why his game isn't doing great. Together they learn love and gaming can go together to make them stronger.

girls rules

Who says girls can’t make games? Mel wants everyone to play her game and needs backers to help with that. A chance encounter with a creator of a game gives her the opportunity to not only fall in love but give her a chance to put her game out there.

Quick fun sweet read

I appreciate the fast pace, and love a whirlwind romance. But I do think that dropping the L-bomb within 24 hrs of meeting is a bit much. Would have liked 1 more chapter to summarize the expedited relationship instead the immediate "I love you"s.
