About this item

He’s a seven-foot giant who feels like a beast.
She’s a curvy beauty looking for her happily ever after.

Duke
Life isn’t easy when you look like a monster.
With my scarred face and hulking frame, people see a freak, not a man.
So I keep to myself, rarely leaving the safety of my workshop.
Then Ariana walks into my life.
She wants me to build her a bookcase. Sounds easy enough.
But the way my heart beats faster every time she looks at me is anything but simple.
I shouldn’t want her. She’s too young, too sweet, too good for a man like me.
How could a beauty like her ever love a beast?

Ariana
I’m used to being the odd one out.
The introverted bookworm with a plus-size body that doesn’t fit in.
But everything changes when I meet Duke.
This giant lumberjack makes me feel seen for the first time in my life.
He knows what it’s like to be different, and his rugged exterior hides a heart of gold.
I’m falling fast, but Duke has insecurities of his own, and they threaten to tear us apart.
If he doesn’t believe in our story, we might never get our fairytale ending.

Tucked away in the heart of Crave County is the small town of Cherry Hollow. This quaint mountain community is full of big, grumpy lumberjacks who look tough on the outside but turn to cinnamon rolls once they meet the curvy women of their dreams. You can expect obsessed heroes, plus size heroines, and enough heat to melt a lumberjack’s axe in this short and steamy romance from Clara King.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ariana & Duke's whirlwind love story ❤️
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024
This was my first time reading Clara King's book and it won't be my last time. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I cannot wait to read the bonus epilogue when it is released. Although this book is under a hundred pages long, there are plot and character development.

Duke and Ariana, both have insecurities. Due to Duke's height and scarred face, people always gawked and scared of him, making him feel frustrated and living in isolation with his cat. As for Ariana, she is insecure about her appearance, she is a curvy woman. I loved that they were so sweet toward each other. Duke told her that she was perfect and beautiful, vice versa she said to him that she didn't care what others thought. The epilogue was also good, Duke is such a sweet guy ????????

I loved this book and cannot wait to read the next book and other books in this series.

???? Tropes: Virgin heroine and hero, age gap, instalove, protective hero.

He is a 7ft tall scarred beast of a man used to avoiding people so they aren't afraid of him. She is a curvy girl who has always felt awkward in her body. They both have vulnerabilities but yet they are drawn to each other. This is part of a series, but can be read as a completely stand alone. Due to the short story format you don't get a lot of back story, so reading the other stories in the series helps give you a more nuanced experience. The character development was good, giving you a strong sense of the mains including their personal insecurities. It is nice to see a big old guy be vulnerable but still strong. There is a sweet epilogue to finish this one off. Great choice for a quick read.

Duke Stirling is the Giant of Cherry Hollow, and at 42 he is 7’2” and has scares due to his military tour. He hides in his families factory and loves wood working.
Ariana (22) has just moved into her first apartment and the only one of 7 children who was not an athlete but loved books.
Duke and Ariana have something in common, they both see themselves as freaks in their town. Ariana has body image problems because she has curves and not as skinny or athletic like her family. This is an Insta-love romance, 1 hour or so story getting lost in the mountains with Duke and all 7 foot of his masculine self and fall in love with the journey he takes Ariana on to win her heart.

Ariana has always felt like an outsider because of her appearance. Overweight and a bookworm, she was teased a lot in school. Now beginning a new life living on her own, she decides she wants a custom-made bookcase for her apartment. She meets Duke who owns the lumber and hardware store and goes to speak with him. When Duke stands up, Ariana is surprised by how tall he is and the scars on his face. One look at each other and it is instalove. This is a sweet story of caring, protecting and falling in love.

Duke is the owner of the hardware and lumberyard which his grandfather started. He served in military shows the scars on his face and with his seven-foot height; he gets stared at. While Ariana is from a family of athletes while she is curvy and was bullied in high school for weight. Duke is very attracted to her and wants to be with her; he worries that he is twice her age at 46 plus he is a 'monster' in looks. Ariana thinks that he is gorgeous. Are they going to take a chance with each other?.

Her Giant Lumberjack is book 4 in the Crave County:Lumberjacks Love Curves Series by Clara King.

When Ariana decides to stop into the local lumber store to inquire about a custom bookcase, she has no idea she will get much more than a place to store her massive collection.

Duke is a former military, covered in scars, and prefers to keep to himself. All that changes when Ariana steps into his shop, asking for help with a project. Suddenly, he wants more than his reclusive life, he wants her.

This story was well written with plenty of spicy scenes. Both main characters have insecurities based on their appearance, and it creates some issues with them trusting each other. I have enjoyed the series so far and look forward to the next book.

ARC was provided by Booksprout, and this is my honest review.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2024
My heart ached for Duke. The poor guy was always being gawked at for his height and facial scars. Ariana has dealt with years of being self conscious of her own body, always feeling like an outsider. These two found each other and eventually healed each other's hurts. This was a well written and wonderful story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Duke and Ariana rise above physical looks and find true instalove❤️.
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024
“Her Giant Lumberjack” is a must read. The main characters, Duke and Ariana are a wonderful couple. The story is beautiful. I don’t want to give anything away, so trust me when I say this book is awesome.
This book was the perfect length, I like my books short, and the instalove was ideal. The characters were well-written and I could feel their pain from feeling less than what people consider typical physical looks should be.
