About this listen

A Harlem Kingpin meets a Plus-Sized Single mother. Hood Love is in the air!

Life in Harlem has never been easy for Shaniyah. The product of a broken home, she’s always had to fend for herself. And she’s always searched for the love that her parents never gave her. Maybe that’s why she fell into the arms of her trifling baby daddy. He made her promises and sold her big dreams. But he hasn’t delivered on any of them.

She works a barely above minimum-wage job. While her baby daddy is in and out of jail and can never hold down steady work. She doesn’t know how much longer she can endure this struggle love. Every day she feels less and less hope for the future.

But her unfulfilling, stressful life is turned upside down when she encounters a notorious Harlem Kingpin. He looks at her the way no other man ever has.

And he’s determined to do whatever it takes to make her his woman.

Jevon was born into a family of hustlers and addicts. Ever since he was young, he’s loved being in the streets. The fast money, the cars, the clothes, the females. All that.

But he knows the other side of the game. And he doesn’t want to go down that path of addiction and self-destruction, which has ruined so many lives, including his parents’.

But that’s much easier said than done. He’s got heat on him from all directions. The walls are closing in. His life is spinning out of control.

When he meets a struggling, single mother, he’s forced to evaluate the direction he’s going. And whether or not he wants to continue in the streets.

BBW Looking for Love is a fast-paced, African American Romance that will dig into your soul, curl your toes, and make you tingle all over... Enjoy!

A street king with a big Heart

Let’s just go on and get this out the way…yes, we know it was recorded with an AI voice. That’s not even the point here, so we’re not gonna hold that against the story. We grown and focused on the content, not the computer, okay?

Now let me tell you this series was a whole vibe. What really made it stand out to me was the fact that the thick girls…the BBWs…weren’t no side chicks, no funny “best friend” characters, and definitely not some man’s secret shame. They were the standard. The prize. The main love interest, Jevan…a certified street king with power, looks, and loyalty was head over heels for thick women from jump. Not only was he fine, but he had a big heart too. Whew! That man was loving on these women like they were the last glass of cold water in the desert. It was so refreshing to see that, especially in urban fiction where thick girls usually get the short end of the stick or are portrayed as desperate.

Speaking of desperation though…lawd. Almost every character outside of Jevan and Shanayah? Full-blown, off-the-wall, need-to-be-committed crazy. Like, not just petty or messy but certifiable. It felt like folks were ready to kill, burn stuff down, and act a plum fool just to get some D and a handsome face. At first I was like, “Now why is everybody so unhinged?” But the more I thought about it, I realized the story might actually be shining a light on something deeper…what I call fat girl syndrome. That inner voice some plus-size women hear that says, “You better take what you can get.” The kind of thinking that makes you accept crumbs just to say you got a man. That part hit me, because it is something real a lot of women deal with…even if this story turned it up to a 10.

Still, the drama was juicy, the romance had heat, and Jevan and Shanayah were that couple you root for. The chemistry was on point, the storyline had heart, and the love felt earned…not just thrown together for steam.

So yes, parts 1 through 6? Two thumbs all the way up. Thick girls got to be the fantasy, the leading lady, and the love interest…and that alone makes this one worth the read.
