A review by kirstyreadsblog
The King of Bourbon Street by Thea de Salle

4.0

Arianna Barrington needs to get away from her mother after a sex tape leaks of her, so she flies with her brother to New Orleans where she meets Sol DuMont, hotel mogul. Sol is still getting over the loss of his dad, the breakdown of his marriage and his complete lack of interest in life. The pair instantly click and begin a wild affair.

As a chubby girl this book meant so much to me. The MC is fat and I've read a fair few romance books in my life but this was such a breath of fresh air and it didn't make me feel like an absolute mess who could never get a man because I'm not thin enough. And to add to that the love interest is a bi male, and it's not just like a stated fact either, he references his past relationships with men and flirts with other guys a lot. You don't read a lot of bi men in books. I think the biggest thing that I loved was just how casual everything was, from Arianna's weight to Sol's sexuality. Arianna is fat and it's not made out to be a bad thing, it's not made out that she's beautiful despite being fat. She's beautiful and she's fat, it felt quite empowering for me to read.
