Cat's Books: Romance

I have been researching several posts for a sub genre by sub genre look at Big Beautiful Women (BBW) in Romanceland and boy, have I read a great deal of interesting stuff. 

The posts in response of a Smart Bitches, Trashy Books article of several years ago highlight the weight and beauty debate in American and around the world and it ain't pretty. This was 2008 and so I hope the discussion has evolved.

I like to celebrate diverse storytelling in romance and the plus sized heroine especially in Historical Romance sings that song well. 

Big and tall or simply well rounded, these women bring a little something extra to genre. I like it best when heroines are happy with the themselves but at least the heroes always are!
