I really enjoyed Penelope and Everett’s story! Amy Award’s entire series of powerful, body positive FMCs is truly wonderful but the there was just something so relatable about the insecurities and vulnerability themes that made this a stand out book to me. I also really loved the subtle inclusions from book 3 that let you know Penelope and Everett’s journey was happening along the same timeline as Willa and Hayes’ journey.

This book was a joy to read and both narrators did a fantastic job! Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the early access opportunity to listen to and review this book!

Thank you, NetGalley and Dreamscape Media, for this cute and incredibly uplifting ALC!

I’ve been following this series for a while, and like so many others, I eagerly awaited Everett’s story. Overall, this book is very sweet, though I have to say the romance itself felt a bit flat at times. I liked the coaching angle, but I was hoping for a touch more jealousy or possessiveness to spice things up a bit.

The real magic of this book—and the entire series—is in its empowering body positivity message. As a curvy girl with an active lifestyle, I related to this so much. I’ve had my share of judgment for being in a happy relationship with a conventionally handsome man, and at times, it’s felt like I’m being told I don’t “fit” with someone like him. It can be disheartening, and this book captures that struggle beautifully.

The author’s message shines through, especially around sports and body confidence. I play tennis, ski, swim, and do yoga, yet sometimes, all people see are the parts of me that don’t match society’s standards. It’s frustrating, and this story reminds us that strength, beauty, and worth come in every size. While real life doesn’t always wrap up as neatly as a book, I love how the author wants girls and women of all shapes and sizes to feel seen and celebrated.

The voice acting was fantastic, too—true to Dreamscape Media’s standard! I listened to it straight through and couldn’t stop. 💖

A great addition to the Kingman series. Love this couple and the way their relationship unfolds. I started listening to this and didn’t stop until it finished several hours later. The underlying issues addressed are also super relevant. Love the mention of Award’s other series as well!

Love this series. It’s cheesy and fun. Great written smut. Body positivity. Love the plus sized representation.

This sports romance features a super-supportive cinnamon roll football player who thought he knew it all when it came to love, a plus-size heroine who will school him while finally learning to love herself, and that Bridgertons-meets-American-Football family that'll have you wishing you were a Kingman… or a Kingman's Queen.

Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to listen to this audio early!

This whole series by Amy award has been amazing. I love the plus size FMCs and body positivity this series projects.

Like the books before this one the story is so cute and funny. I was constantly switching between laughing and saying awwww out loud.
I cannot wait for the next in line!

This book was well narrated. I absolutely loved the characters and the body positivity. This is such a fun series and I look forward to reading more about the Caymen family. (Sorry I have no idea how to spell their name I’ve only ever done audio for this series)

I honestly can't get enough of the Kingman family!! Each book in this series just gets better and better with more stunning Leni Kauffman covers each time. This dual POV, friends to lovers, dating lessons turned secret dating between Everett (aka the Love Guru of the family and perceived 'himbo') and Penelope, assistant to Swiftie level famous singer/songwriter friend, Kelsey Best) was everything I wanted and more.

This Penelope gives off tons of Penelope Featherington vibes from The Bridgertons, with her own social media advice account but while she tries to be a model of body positivity she still suffers from her own moments of self doubt and insecurities that Everett helps her try to embrace and overcome.

The focus on body positivity in this book, for both men and women and people of all sizes, was TOP NOTCH!! I absolutely loved the song and campaign the family came up with to help fight against fatphobia and body-shaming. Add in an escape artist pet anaconda, panty-melting sweet and steamy moments and great audio narration by Aaron Shedlock and Juniper Young and this book was a total touch down for me!!

Highly recommended for fans of authors like Kayla Grosse and Mary Warren. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review! I can't wait for the next book in the series!!

3 Stars!

I was able to listen to this audiobook in advance from Netgalley, this is my honest and unbiased review.

I thought this was such a cute read, I loved the characters and thought that the struggles Penelope was experiencing were relatable. Getting to hear even how these huge hunk of football players who are revered for their hot bods also deal with maintaining their own personal views of body positivity was kind of comforting. It’s a nice reminder that sometimes you aren’t the only one dealing with insecurity.

Penelope and Everette are adorable together and I’m so glad they got their happy ending!

I am obsessed with the Kingman men! Everett is no exception- he is just as swoony as his brothers. Once again- the title is fantastic! Amy always finds a way to make me laugh in all her books! I love how there’s always a lesson in them as well- as a plus size woman I will always support these stories and I love the message of loving the body you’re in!

As with all of Amy's books, TAD was fantastic (and this one is my favourite Kingman book this far). The narration was spot-on and really brought the characters to life, and there were so many instances where I'd find myself giggling away, or where my heart would have that emotional ache, because I just fell so deeply for the characters.
This has been one of my top books/audiobooks of 2024, and I can't wait to see where Amy takes the Kingman family next.

This series by Amy has all been amazing! this one was no different! This was funny and cute all in one! I definitely will recommend this author to anyone who asks! This narrator was amazing!! 10/5 stars

Fantastic book! The narrators did a FANTASTIC job! I absolutely loved this book! Five stars all day long.
