I make no secret of the fact that I am a hearts and flowers lover, and as a woman who is not a size 6 it is nice to have protagonists that are not the standard tall and willowy woman. Here are some of my favorite romance books with plus sized characters. Since I spend more time in the children's world, I am including some YA and adult titles. Many of these books are prefaced with trigger warnings of domestic violence, or abuse. Please take care to review them before reading them. #IndyPLAdult
