Book Review: Love at Large
by Chamein Canton of ElegantPlus.com

Our very own curvy novel reviewer, Jen Henderson, contributes to this delicious romance anthology featuring leading ladies with voluptuous, full-figured curves.

Description:
Love at Large is a courageous book of charming romantic stories; each one a celebration of the lives and loves of full-figured women. It is a book of fiction featuring real women searching for real love and finding that men do indeed send long-stemmed red roses to women with double digit dress sizes.

Within the pages of Love at Large, you will find spunky, attractive, sexy, and smart heroines. These are women who love, are loved, and make love. They are all that and a bag of chips; and they make no apologies for not being the fat-free variety.

The Love at Large Anthology contains six sweet contemporary romance short stories by six terrific authors, plus one bonus story written as a round robin by a variety of writers at the BBW Romance Writing group.  Authors include:  Sue Ann Jaffarian, Judy Bagshaw, Nancy Trausch, Eileen Wilson, and Jennifer Harrington.
Review:
Before I begin this review I must admit that over the years I’ve gotten away from romance novels. I don’t know whether it was the book’s covers or the fact that it seemed to be the same type of woman (with long raven hair, a barely there waistline and enough cleavage to choke grown men). Perhaps it was a combination. Nevertheless I must say my faith in romance has been restored by Love at Large.

The contributing writers including our own Jen Henderson spun tales of love from different perspectives, but what I truly appreciated was how the full figured woman got the guy of her dreams without settling for less. Although their styles were different the reader feels like you’re sitting down with your best girlfriends listening to them regale you with the lush, romantic and sexy details of their love lives without the telltale corn ball I’ve seen in so many other romantic stories. 

With titles like “Love Bytes” by Jen Henderson;  ”The Illustrated Woman” by Elizabeth Angus; “A Work of Art” by Judy Bagshaw, “Dirty Laundry” by Jennifer Harrington; “A Change in Direction” by Nancy Trausch; An “Unforgettable Kiss” by Eileen Wilson and “Passion Unmasked” the BBW Romance writers (who contributed a story written by the collective) there is something to suit everyone’s fancy.

They are all wonderful writers and I look forward to seeing more of their work published on a larger scale. Maybe it’s the literary agent in me, but I think these ladies’ stories have Lifetime written all over it! In fact I think these writers have big screen potential to spare.

I give Love At Large ***** (5 stars) Excellent!
