Love Plus One e-book, Now Available on Amazon!

Shannon McKenna is a shy production assistant with big dreams and even bigger phobias, most of which are not unrelated to her size 12 figure. She coasts along quite comfortably in the “Shadows”, where she lives vicariously from her fingertips as an aspiring writer.

When her similarly sized boss Dixie dangles a carrot in front of her crew to come up with her next TV project, Shannon teasingly concocts a dating reality show with her best friend, the hunky Jake Dalton. Instead of a traditional format, there would be a “mole” at the bachelorette pad, who would provide all the inside scoop of how the girls really behaved to the bachelor in question.

The only wrinkle in her plan is her coworker Rex, or, as Shannon likes to call him, Dogface, Lord of the Reptilian People. Thanks to Dollar Margarita Night she confesses her idea to him. He promptly steals some of her thunder undermining the idea only to pounce on her proposal while she dallies in her insecurity. Thus he virtually robs her from a producing credit.

With a little help from Jake and her fairy godmother Jorge, Shannon decides to sabotage the entire shebang by rigging it from the inside out. She and Jake would star in the show, and the hunky hero would choose the mole - the "Every Woman" - instead of the bevy of beauties that had already been cast.

Problem is, the more they fake it the easier it is for Shannon to feign a budding romance with her best buddy. Before long she has lost her heart, and some of her sanity, as she attempts to navigate the tricky waters of reality TV.

After ten years of friendship she finally realizes she loves Jake, just in time to fight off 20 other women to win his heart.

Love Plus One is a romance that starts from the inside out. Through our plus-size heroine we learn you don't have to be perfect to find our perfect mate... we just have to be brave enough to love ourselves first.

It's a love story for the rest of us, and the debut "Real Woman Romance" by author Ginger Voight.
