Book Synopsis:

Nina Ford doesn’t like to put all her eggs in one basket. She works multiple jobs, she enjoys multiple hobbies, she dates multiple men.

In her thirty years of life, Nina has never come across a man who has all the things she’s looking for.

She loves fun and excitement—and she has a man for that.

She loves confidence and humor—and she has a man for that.

She loves intelligence and ambition—and she has a man for that.

She loves passion and romance—and she has a man for that.

She’s always been content rotating a few men in and out of her life to get her needs met. But when an opportunity presents itself, Nina finds herself in a bit of a predicament. Because if everything she’s ever wanted in a partner collides with everything she’s ever wanted in a career, her eggs are bound to get cracked.

Like her back.

My Review:

Danielle Allen does it again. Plus Size Player is a celebration—of confidence, self-love, body positivity, and what it means to be the main character in your own damn story. This book is a slow burn in terms of romance, but don’t be fooled—there’s plenty of action along the way.

At first, I found myself wondering, “Okay, where is this going?” But if you know Danielle, you know to trust the process. And she delivers. The characters are deeply developed, their vulnerabilities feel honest, and their chemistry is both believable and hot.

The protagonist is everything I want in a lead: bold, funny, unapologetically herself, and navigating life with the kind of mishaps that make you laugh out loud but also root hard for her. The result is a story that feels grounded and empowering, while still bringing the heat.

If you’re here for stories that center plus-size women as sexy, complex, and deserving of love without compromise—this one is for you.
