Contrary to popular belief, so many men would do anything to be with plus-size women. They adore their fuller, rounder features as well as their self-confidence. No doubt, BBWs are gorgeous, seductive, and can attract a great deal of male attention. But it is quite sad that BBW do not get enough representation in literature, as it is regrettably still very rare to find plus size protagonists in central roles in romance books.
Thankfully, things are getting better – at a snail’s pace but still moving in the right direction. At least, that is what you feel when looking at the popularity of BBW dating sites, where hundreds of thousands of people love interacting with each other to find a mate. These dating platforms come with chat rooms where BBW can talk with others and even share their love for romance books.
Whether you want some inspiration or suggestions for romance books to discuss while interacting with a potential partner on sites for BBW dating, the following will surely help.
Knit One, Girl Two by Shira Glassman
This romance novel by Shira Glassman is one perfect starting point for anyone seeking an interesting read revolving around plus size women. The best part is that the book will interest you if you are into lesbian dating and want to be with a plus-size queer single.
In a charming slice-of-life narrative, Shira Glassman transports us to a moment we can all relate to: a sudden crush and the girl’s struggle to keep it to herself or take the plunge. The plot is simple, sweet, and believable.
The story revolves around Danielle Solomon and Clara Ziegler, who bump into each other and develop chemistry. Neither Danielle nor Clara can be said to have knocked the other out of the water; rather, they are two LGBTQ women who are attracted to one another due to shared interests – they have a passion for color.
The Brown Sister Series by Talia Hibbert
It is a two-book series, each following a sister. They are both plus-size protagonists, and their portrayal is accurate. In addition, they are sensual and hot.
The protagonist of the first book, Get A Life, suffers from chronic agony. The BBW protagonist is also autistic. You will like the banter, the smut, and the fact that the love interest is so realistic.
Take a Hint is the other book in the series. It is cool to see a sturdier, ex-rugby player as the protagonist in this story. Excitingly, it features a fictitious romance and inverts some gender stereotypes. If you are new to plus size romance novels, you must experiment with it first.
Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade
In this fanfiction-based romantic comedy, Olivia Dade makes her debut as a loyal reader who unexpectedly goes on a date with her celebrity crush, who is also posting his own fanfiction.
Handsome blond Marcus, who plays the lead role of Aeneas on the mythology-based action series Gods of the Gates, is a little too invested in his on-screen persona. Marcus complains that Aeneas is not getting a compelling story arc on the show. He lets the steam off by joining the fanfiction writing world and ends up making an unexpected friend, April, who is our plus-size protagonist.
This humorous and VERY sensual romance will appeal to you if you have been a fandom writer or have ever had a great crush on a TV/movie celebrity past the teen years. And you are surely going to love it if you relate to April, who is not the ideal size 2 model.
Can you guess what is going to happen next? This book is a dream come true for any fangirl.
Wrapped by Rebekah Weatherspoon
There are additional romance books by Rebekah Weatherspoon that also feature feisty, curvaceous, plus size, BBW protagonists. But she does a wonderful job of including characters from a wide range of backgrounds and celebrating their differences in this book.
The protagonist is a curvy black woman who owns a bakery, is known for her delectable desserts, and bumps into an old coworker. So, it seems that both of them have secret crushes, but they decide to wait for the proper moment to act on those feelings.
It is a hot novella about a vacation romance, and the main character is a curvy lady who loves her body – truly the kind of inspiration you need to survive in the dating world. And her sweetie of a partner adores her curvy figure and savors her bakery’s treats. The whole thing is about a plus-size interracial couple, right? We think you should get it for the holidays to find out more!
One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
It is another read by Kate Stayman-London, who really nailed all the characters in this book. It is about Bea Schumacher, a plus-size fashion blogger, trying to mend her broken heart.
Like the rest of her group of friends, she is completely engrossed in Main Squeeze, a reality dating show resembling The Bachelor but with more romance, drama, and generic white men. She has no hope that the network will give her an opportunity to become a celebrity.
Bea thinks it could be exciting to have all these handsome men competing for her affection, but she is really only in it to promote her business, debunk negative media portrayals of plus-size women, and win some amazing rewards.
However, not even the most painstakingly staged reality TV romance can prevent things from going unpleasant. Actually, the chaos is the most enjoyable part of it all, or is it?
Misadventures of a Curvy Girl by Sierra Simone
The inclusion of characters who are overweight is the book’s strongest point. The plot revolves around a curvy woman who starts dating two guys already in a relationship but wants to complete it with a third woman.
Yes, you got it right – the book is about polyamorous relationships, and to make it crazier. Of course, it is not for everyone, but those who like it that way are surely going to fall in love with this masterpiece.
Conclusion
Finding so many BBW women looking for partners on dating sites is sometimes not enough to convince you to put yourself out there and find love. Reading the right romance books can give you that inspiration, which is what you get from reading these amazing BBW romantic novels. Happy reading!
