Brews, Books & BFFs

Plus Size Player by Danielle Allen

I absolutely loved this sexy, empowering, and passionate story! From the very first chapter, Nina had me hooked. She’s bold, hilarious, confident, and completely unapologetic about who she is, and I adored that. We don’t often get her as the player, and watching a plus size woman own her dating life and her body like that? So refreshing.

Nina and Rus have incredible chemistry (and, okay, maybe a thing for semi-public places 👀), but what really stood out was how layered and real their connection felt. The banter, the fire, the tension, it was all there. Add in some laugh-out-loud moments and some seriously spicy scenes, and this book checked all the boxes.

Danielle Allen gave us a story that’s messy, sexy, smart, and full of heart, and I’ll be first in line for whatever she writes next.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blurb:

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 Russell Long, her designated “Fun Guy”, shows her that he’s good for more than just thrills, it seems too good to be true. Nina finds herself in a predicament.

She’s found everything she’s ever wanted in a career in one job.

She’s found everything she’s ever wanted in a partner in one man.

Inevitably, her eggs are bound to get cracked.

Like her back.

Tropes:

🩷 Boss/employee

XOXO,

Courtney
