Why Plus Size Romance Matters

For too long, romance heroines looked one way: thin, conventionally beautiful, fitting a narrow standard that most readers don't see when they look in the mirror.

Body-positive romance changes that. These books prove that:

• Curvy women deserve passionate love stories
• Heroes can (and should) be genuinely attracted to plus size bodies
• The heroine's body is never a "problem" to overcome
• Desire, pleasure, and happily-ever-afters belong to everyone

Every reader deserves to see themselves as the heroine of a love story. That's why these books matter—and why this genre continues to grow.
