Chamein Canton’s Not His Type: Full-Figured Romance
September 20th, 2007 — elegantplusmagazine
Elegant Plus Magazine is pleased to announce the latest publication from our wedding columnist, Chamein Canton: a dangerously curvy novel, Not His Type. As Chamein moves from her ground-breaking non-fiction guide for plus-size brides, Down That Aisle in Style, she takes on romantic fiction to prove big girls get loved too.
In Not His Type, romance abounds for the full-figured heroine, Cathy Chambers when she meets the man of her dreams…… the catch, so she thinks, is that as a super-star baseball player he is usually surrounded by skinny model types. Can she overcome her own body image issues and self-consciousness to win this wildly handsome and talented man?
Find out for yourself and pick up a copy from your favorite bookseller. Coming out October 2, 2007 , it is already available on Amazon for pre-orders. You won’t want to miss this one!
Congratulations Chamein! We can’t wait!

Until a chance meeting in a trendy restaurant changes the course of both their lives.
