hi i wished i’d found this thread earlier. I have to take time to agree with orannia that the term plus size is a little silly, i mean its not like we call thin people minus sized, but anyways Justine Davis “A whole lot of love” was a great story. Its heroine had all the hangups that come with being “plus sized” and you really get to see her struggle with the feelings of incompetence when comparing herself to the women she thinks the oh so sexy hero should really be with. The hero is very patient in getting the heroine to accept that he really is interested in her and not doing it for charity or out of pity. It was a really amazing book and i felt that the author did an amazing job in portraying a believable story.

Late to the chain myself… Here goes… I’ve been both overweight & underweight. I’m a huge fan of paranormal romance novels. That said, when I read, it’s to escape. I want my heroines to be fit & trim, scary beautiful. It is after all, a fantasy. If the heroine is overweight, it distracts my vision of “fantastical perfection”. I prefer books that cling to fantasy with characters that are so aesthtically pleasing that I can pretend to be them for a short while. I don’t want to put my feet in her shoes if she’s overweight! I want to pretend I’m skinny & escape my reality for a but. I know everyone is different and am sure a romance series on overweight women would have a great market, I just won’t be buying them! No offense!

“The Reluctant Viking” by Sandra hill is a great read about a real woman that has gone back in time where vikings rule and PREFER a woman with curves (even though she becomes skinny and young when she goes back in time). Also try the second book “The Outlaw Viking” by Sandra Hill is where the heroine’s curvy daughter goes back in time and falls in love.

A third book I would like to recommend “Bride Portal” by Michele Bardsley (for MATURE Audiences).

I’m a reader of many romance novels, after reading so many it is sad to see that they are about 95% (if not more) about thin women, and the ones that i’ve read about big girls really don’t do us justice. I wish that someone would write a series that shows that big girls can be just as sexy and satisfy her man as well as the thin girls. I’d like to read about how hot and heavy they can get down too.

Hi Orianna – You’re never too late.

I agree with you. You’ll find there are plenty of blogs out there devoted to ‘real woman’, where they relish in the fact that woman do have curves and we don’t all look like models.

I was very enlightened by all the posts here listing out many books that feature women who aren’t sticks – it’s refreshing to know.

So late to the party – I’m sorry Maria

So why is it that romance in general hasn’t embraced the various sizes we all seem to come in?

Such an important question. My theory – authors and/or publishers (since I don’t know) are following the fashion trend. Because what is on the catwalk isn’t ‘plus size’. And I don’t get the term plus size? Plus what? Because the average size of women isn’t ‘0′ or ‘2′.

And I’ve a question if I may: why can’t heroines be fit and curvy? Not everyone has the same shape, so not everyone will be a size ‘0′ or ‘2′, no matter how hard they try. But they can be a fit, healthy version of the shape they are, can’t they?

And I third or is that fourth Jennifer Cruise’s Bet Me. It’s delightful!

Here is my favorite romance novel it is titled ” THE UNDEAD NEXT DOOR” by Kerrelyn Sparks. When i read this book, i could not put down and i got hooked to all Kerrelyn Sparks paranormal books. Try reading it, you will appreciate Sparks for thinking about plus size,big luscious figure women. it is about a rich centuries old Vamp whose taste(interest) in women are big luscious figure women.Jean-Luc Echarpe fall in love with a full figured school teacher Heather. This is one of the few books out there that proves that FAT GIRLS DO SEX in the best, raw possible way. CURVES IS IN, SKINNY IS OUT.
