Meet Leila Lacey

Love comes in many shapes and sizes. Rising Michigan Author Leila Lacey writes from the heart about the trials and tribulations of love and romance from a plus size woman’s perspective. With over 12 popular books on Amazon to date, she’s steadily claiming her space as a new romantic fiction author to keep an eye on.
Bow down to the curves. That’s the philosophy that’s motivated romantic fiction author Leila Lacey as she’s wrote over a dozen popular books taking a hot and exciting look at love and adventure from a strong, curvy woman’s viewpoint. The books have been received with enthusiasm, and it’s clear the best is yet to come for these BBW romances (Big Beautiful Woman).
“I think it’s important to present strong, beautiful, curvy women that have amazing female to female relationships,” commented Lacey, on what motivates her. “If we don’t provide alternative role models for people, they could fall into the trap of not loving who is looking them back in the mirror. Romantic fiction should entertain, but it should also help build confidence and a great self-image. I’m trying to cover all these things and more in my books.”
 
According to the author, Lacey had a quite unexpected entry into writing. Although always interested in being a writer she never explored her skills fully until being convinced to join a writing contest. Within 30 days she had finished her first novel, won the contest, and never looked back. An example of a woman with confidence proving to herself, and the world, what can be accomplished when dreams are pursued actively.
 
Some of her most popular books in the plus size women genre include: Phoenix Rising; A Very Curvy Christmas; Dr. Black’s Patient; Love’s Legacy; Shelby’s Awakening; and many, many more.
 
Readers have responded to her work with enthusiasm.
A.C., recently said about Phoenix Rising in a five star Amazon review, “Wow this book was an emotional roll coaster, but I loved each every twist and turn. I don’t wait to give to much away because people haven’t read it yet. Phoenix is a sexy plus size woman who is smart, strong, and loving. I can’t wait to read more about these guys. I give this book five stars and a must read! Keep up the wonderful work Leila!”

Yep another great story by Leila. Omar , mr self centered lives life how he wants is best friends with Curvy Stephanie. Stephanie has been in love with Omar since she first met him. but after one last heartbreaking let down by Omar she's decided it's time to move on. Off to Paris for a wedding she's planned for a client she meets Evan. He's loving, attentive and wants to be with her more than anything. They came back engaged and Omar had finally gotten his head out of his butt and realized his feelings. Well now lets see who is the best man? What a ride! Thanks for the tears laughs and OMG's yet again.

I know that this book "The Project" is not one of the newest published, therefore my comment may be nullified. But I must say that I was looking forward to reading a BBW romance from an African American woman especially since she's from the area in which I grew up. But as I read, I'm finding many errors that should have been recognized right away from the editing/proofreading team. Also one huge error with the hopsital scene. Someone didn't do their research. It was a good story though.
