Rating:  Summary: Hilariously Entertaining!! Review: Once again, Campbell has delivered a delightful, thoroughly entertaining story that kept me turning the pages all night. Few authors have the ability to make me laugh out loud. Fat Chance certainly did that, and I look forward to the next Terry Campbell book with great anticipation. Great job!!
Rating:  Summary: Shut ME in a closet with Hal... or this book, next best thin Review: Setting: Dickens, Texas ( a small town) Time Period: Modern Day Contemporary romance with humor Lindsey Michaels is a voluptious woman, only she thinks she's too fat. No matter what she tries she can't seem to lose weight. Lindsey's psuedo boyfriend, Kenny Kramer, plans to build his political career by exposing the FRAT progam which promises women easy weight loss, as a fraud. He enlists the aid of Lindsey to undercover, though she has her own reasons for joining in his subtefuge. She really wants to have her breasts and butt reduced by lipsocution and hopes the program is for real. FRAT is actually a secret military project to study behavior modification and headed by a psychologist, Hal Randall. His goal is to win a "Lone Star Award" for his work. When Hal first sees Lindsey bending over with the top of her thigh high hose showing, he's so flustered he stutters. The attraction is mutual and threatens to sink the doctor's plans. Lindsey has two things on her mind, Dr. Hal, and food. Through a series of amusing incidents and foiled plans, the two are drawn together. Other characters help to complicate the lives of Hal and Lindsey and add to the comical scenes which make up this book. I related very easily to Lindsey and her wish to lose weight despite her desire to eat chocolates and other tasty treats. Her roommate Hilda adds additional humor to the story. This is a light, quick, read which gave me a few chuckles as I sped through the pages. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys humor with their romance and who understands the fight against flab. It was delightful. reviewed by Bea Sheftel

Rating:  Summary: Fat on Fun Review: The Terry Campbell team has done it again with FAT CHANCE, a fun read and scrumptious way to spend an afternoon. Made me hungry for more just reading about the tasty trials and tribulations of Lindsay the less than lean.
Rating:  Summary: Fun summer reading! Review: This is a great book to take to the beach-the hero and heroine are delicious and sweep you along through the story. Warning-- diet or no, the food descriptions will make you hungry. So stop worrying about your size and enjoy a romp with Lindsey and Hal.
Rating:  Summary: Mildly entertaining Review: This was a very predictable and easy read. Originally published on the internet, it is easy to see why it was difficult to find a publisher to print hard copies of this book. As quick and easy as it was to read, it seems like it was just as quick and easy to write. It doesn't seem like much time or effort went into plot or character development at all. Its like the authors found the formula on how to write a cheesy romance novel and followed it with no deviations.
