✨Plus Size Player- ALC Review ✨
4.5✨ 3🌶️
I was able to listen to this audio thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio 💜 This is narrated by Wesleigh Siobhan and she killed it! I felt like one of my girls was telling me the Tea of her life!
The FMC, Nina, is a black, plus size model and a go getter who knows exactly what she wants in life, including what she wants in a man. Even though my girl has a roster of men who each have a quality she likes, she gets surprised when “The Fun One” is giving her more than just fun. She realizes she’s falling HARD for Russell Long and I can see why! The man is the definition of “if he wanted to, he would!”
I loved being able to see so many aspects of her life and getting to know Nina. She’s a girls girl and you just gravitate to her and want to be her friend.
Highly recommend this read, especially the audiobook! I really enjoyed this one ❤️

I absolutely loved this book!! At first, I was a bit unsure about how the story would unfold since it begins with the main character dating around, but the author really pulled it off. I admire Nina's confidence; even though it highlights the challenges she faces as a plus-size woman, she never falters in her self-assurance.

Nina Ford loves having choices, especially in her career as a fashion influencer and in her dating life. She believes that no single man can fulfill all her needs, so she enjoys seeing multiple guys at once who catch her interest in different ways. Everything changes when she meets Russell Long, who seems almost too good to be true. I really enjoyed watching Nina and Russell's relationship develop! Normally, I have a good poker face when listening to steamy parts in audiobooks, but with this one, I was definitely reacting!

I really enjoyed this book!! I wasn’t sure how the story was going to play out because it starts with the main characters already dating but the author really made this story work. I love how confident Nina is and even though it shows how she can be treated as a plus size women I love that she never weavers in her confidence and knows she looks amazing and is truly a wonderful person

They say good things come to those who wait and this book was well worth the wait. I read CGS on KU last year and absolutely loved and couldn’t wait to see how she would top CGS and Plus Size Player absolutely raised the bar. Can’t see how she raises the bar next with Jazmyn’s book.

When I read a book I like to associate my FMCs with a song for me the song that best represented Nina was ‘I’m That Girl’ by Beyoncè because Nina truly was that girl. Not only did Nina know what she wanted in a man she kept her a roster to keep her needs met and how can I not say queen behavior. Her confidence, self assurance was everything and I loved how she was an influencer I’d definitely would want to follow her. Her sisterhood with Aaliyah and Jazmyn was everything I loved reading stories with strong female friendships There was a few moments of fatophia spewed at Nina and she always made sure to check those which I believe for someone who looks like Nina will mean a lot for them to see.

Her romance with Russ was so swoon worthy but also so hot and steamy. Russ was such a MAN, his tenderness, patience, admiration for Nina made my heart flutter. From the start you could how much he not only wanted her but also needed her and we love to see it. But her trying to fight her deeper feelings for him was honestly hilarious because girl who are you fooling.
This book will have you laughing out loud, smitten and feeling steamy.

Thank you so much to MacMillian Audio for the chance to listen

Nina Ford likes to have options! Especially when it comes to her work as a fashion influencer and with men. She’s adamant that no one man can meet all of her needs, so she enjoys dating several men at a time who intrigue her in different ways. All of this changes when she meets Russell Long, who seems too good to be true.

I love a good romance story and this book did not disappoint! I really enjoyed curvy girl summer by the author, and this book intertwines some of the storyline from curvy girl summer, following the FMC Nina Ford, a plus size fashion influencer, model, and fashionista. I really enjoyed watching the relationship between Nina and Russell unfold. Russell did not play about Nina and it was refreshing to see him love her boldly and proudly, despite there being times when people thought she was “too big” for him. Ms. Allen delivered on the spice and at times had me on the edge of my seat!

Also, Wesleigh Siobhan NEVER disappoints! Her narration was exceptional, and made this book so much fun to listen to.

Thank you NetGalley, Macmillan Audio. and Danielle Allen for this free audiobook ARV in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for a honest review.

I really loved this read! Danielle Allen deff stepped it up with this book! I liked Curvy Girl Summer but this story for me was wayyyyy better im not a huge fan of romance but this one was really really good!

Speechless but also screaming. Absolutely loved. Danielle Allen what do you put in your books. Wow. I listened to the audiobook out in public and had to pause several times because it was very steamy and also I could not keep a poker face in place.

This books was so much fun!!! Sexy, funny, and the spice... the spice was everything!! Nina is our plus sized FMC and she is fierce and confident and talented. She navigates her way through life with her full figure knowing she is the ish! From backhanded compliments to down right disrespect she handles herself flawlessly and doesn't let anything stand in her way and I love that for her.

Nina is a serial dater and has a man for every occasion. One she can have fun with, one she can laugh with and so on and she happens to have a favorite! I won't give anything away but their chemistry is hott!! The way Danielle Allen has written the best date night and late nights had me stuck on this book chapter after chapter.

Nina gets herself into a situation where she has to decide if love and settling down is worth giving up her dreams and you can trust our girl is gonna get exactly what she wants.

I know this is gonna be a fan fave of 2025. 4 star read!!

"You are my escape, my fantasy, the woman of my fucking dreams" RUSSELL LONG THE MAN THAT YOU ARE!! I loved this book SO much. Curvy Girl Summer was phenomenal so I was so excited for this one and it didn't disappoint.

Nina is a model/influencer who isn't interested in settling down. She has a roster of men but one in particular, the fun one aka Russell Long, is clearly her favorite. Their chemistry (sexual and otherwise) is palpable and they have such a good time together. That is...until a wrench is thrown into things and their situationship. I won't say more because I don't want to spoil anything but will say this book is so HOT! It's also funny and had me laughing out loud.

The narration is phenomenal and captures the characters so well. Finished it in one sitting!

This book was amazing. I loved the fashion, the tension, the FUCK IT. OMG. I was on the edge of my seat this entire book and couldn't put it down. It was so spicy, steamy, and just WOW. I finished it in a day. 100/5 stars. I can't wait to read more.
