BBW Hungry for Love: A Hood Love Story

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


Life in Harlem has never been easy for Kalisha . She was raised in a dysfunctional home with an alcoholic mother and an absent father. She’s always searched for the love that her parents never gave her. Maybe that’s why she fell into the arms of her no-good baby daddy. He made her promises and sold her big dreams. But he's never delivered on any of them.

She works a above minimum wage job. While her baby daddy is sitting in jail, twiddling his thumbs. And her mother is sitting on the couch drinking wine and trying to numb her own pain.

Kalisha doesn’t know how much longer she can endure this stressful, unfulfilling life.

But everything is turned upside down when she sees an ad on the Gram for BBW dancers. She never imagined that she could make a living up on the stage. That’s not something big girls like her did. But that’s about to change.

Keon was born into a family of hustlers and addicts. For a long time, his love of basketball kept him out of the streets. But that changed one summer when his father was murdered in a deal gone bad.

Ever since that traumatic event, he’s dedicated himself to the street life. He loves the fast money, the cars, the clothes, the females.

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

That’s why he’s trying to invest his money into legal ventures so he can get out the game before it’s too late.

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


BBW Hungry 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!

it was okay

This story had potential. Single mother doing what she needs to take care of her son. The FMC her mom’s boyfriend was top tier. When she got to the club that’s when I started questioning. Like dang girl where’s the self respect. You cry to get a chance to get a job and then decide to top the boss up smh

was this written by a horny 15 year old? this book, if you can even call it that, is horrible. it lacked a plot and made no sense. i feel like the author purposefully made this book short in order to “build suspense” for the second book i promise its not needed.

This story was good, but it does need to be edited again and I hate that it ended on a cliffhanger

Dope af

I love the inclusion of big girls in this story. It's drama filled and a little ratchet. Lol. I hope to see more and watch the characters grow.
