Description:
“Chased by a group of angry men. Saved by quite a hunk.
This is not the résumé Ginger Halloway ever imagined having. But
thanks to a miracle pill, which makes her size 22 body instantly sexy, that’s
what happened.
Yet, now Lance Franklin is showing interest in her, and she can’t
figure out if he really likes her for her, or if it’s just because of a bizarre
drug.
And her wild bunch of friends, The Misfits…well, they’re always
getting her into some interesting situations.
So, yep, business as usual. Except for the guy. What the hell should
she do about him?
As for Lance, he believes he’s lucky to have found Ginger. But can he
convince her they should go for it?
With some new attention from the hottest guy she’s ever met, Ginger
can’t help but wonder…is this all too good to be true?”

Appraisal:
Ginger Halloway is desperate enough for a male companionship to sign
up for an experimental drug testing program, for a new drug called Instasin.
The doctors report the pill contains pheromones to attract the opposite sex.
Her only obligation is to keep a journal while taking the pills. After three
months the guinea pigs would report back with their findings.
Ginger is a smart, savvy, and mostly comfortable in her plus size
body. She has beat down her insecurities about her weight, instilled from her parents
while growing up. She tries to look at things through realistic eyes. When she
meets Lance through happenstance she is immediately smitten. When Lance seems
to be pursuing her, she writes it off as ‘the instasin’ effect. There is no way
an intelligent, handsome, rich man could be interested in her.
Chasing
Ginger is a unique, intelligent story that will capture your heart. Their
journey together and apart shows character growth and acceptance. Ginger’s
group of close friends, the Misfits, add levity and a sense of realism. Ms.
Lavender takes a serious subject and has written an entertaining tale with
smart dialogue and heart.
