Husky by Jessa Kane

Husky by Jessa Kane

When I wrote a blog post for AAR called “Male fatphobia in romance novels,” I didn’t dare hope or ask for the bigger guys I find attractive to be heroes; I just begged authors to avoid stereotyping them as pathetic losers.

Tempt by Marie Tuhart

Tempt by Marie Tuhart
