When a small town’s hottest lumberjack falls for the full-figured, curvy girl, people take notice in this award-winning, friends-to-lovers romance from best-selling author, Lydia Michaels.
When Finnegan McCullough catches a woman trespassing on his family’s Mountain, he’s captivated by blue eyes and thick thighs. Mallory Fenton might have just moved to their small town, but she won’t be a stranger for long. Funny and sexy as hell, this beautiful distraction quickly becomes Finn’s greatest obsession.
Mallory ran to Center County to escape her past and reinvent herself. Befriending a chiseled, flannel-covered lumberjack was never part of the plan. Sexy men rarely notice her. And after years of being the "fat girl", she can’t figure out what a gorgeous man like Finn might want from her.
A realistic and heartwarming romance that proves love and beauty come in all shapes and sizes. Awarded an honorable mention for writing an exceptional contemporary romance in 2014 by the Rone Awards, best-selling author, Lydia Michaels, brings fiction to life in a beautiful novel about self-love, second chances, and acceptance.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Lucinda Gainey continues to deliver an outstanding performance, bringing these characters and their story to life. She has a complete understanding of the characters she is portraying, giving each a voice that suits that character’s persona and is believable in every role she plays. Her take on Mallory was spot on, she grasped her insecurities and convictions as well as all her emotions and had you feeling every single one and she did the same for Finn. She was great at performing the roles of all the secondary characters, too. Lucinda Gainey is a versatile voice artist and an entertaining storyteller. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

I think this story does a great job of showing how someone with negative body issues and low self esteem interprets the actions of others. Mallory and Finn’s love did not start easily and their journey is beautiful. The narration is smooth and easy to listen to. Well done!
Finn and Mallory’s story is a beautiful evolution

This story hits very close to home. I was never big growing up. I was an athlete, but in later years, I have become larger as bad habits have taken over my life. I can relate to Mallory on so many levels. Ms. Michaels did a great job really getting into her head and telling a plus sized girl story.
The narrator was on point and did a great job telling this story.
Loved it!

Finn’s story was really good!

Finn was dreamy and kind and everything I am looking for in my real life too.
The only reason it wasn't perfect for me is that I feel that the ending was rushed through. The 3rd act conflict was like taking all the air out of the balloon. I feel like these two moved past that kind of misunderstanding and I wish Mallory had punched that chick instead of blaming Finn.
Hahaha, but I am a crazy lady like that.
Very Moving and Raw

Lucinda Gainey narrated Beautiful Distraction, and she does so very well. There were so many feels in this one, and she captures every one. She kept the different characters distinctive, and her timing was spot on whether it was wit and humor or tears or anger.
As far as the McCullough family is concerned, there are still more siblings that need their own HEA, and I'll be looking forward to whoever is next.
Love this family

3/5🌶
MC: Finn & Mallory
Third person POV, city girl/country boy, plus sized h, new start, friends to lovers, body image issues, HEA
Mallory recently moved to Centre Co in the hopes of a fresh start. She feels like she’s being left behind since all of her friends are having major life milestones but she’s just the same as always. She’s out on a hike when she literally runs into Finn when she gets lost and ends up on his family’s property. The pair become friends and when Finn’s girlfriend breaks up with him, he realizes maybe Mallory is exactly the person he needs.
I love this series so far. All the books follow a different McCullough and their love interest. This is definitely a slower burn but the story line was so good. As a plus sized girl, I really related to the body image struggles that Mallory faces. Definitely worth a listen.
Loved Finn and Mallory

Lucinda Gainey is a great narrator. At first she wasn't who I was expecting, voice wise, but I adjusted and enjoyed her performance. She does both male and female voices well.
