The Last Prejudice

by David Rivera Jr.

From the bestselling author of Playing in the Dark -- an erotic and romantic novel about how real love is measured by the size of your heart and not the size of your hips.

The three plus-sized women in The Last Prejudice find support in one another during the ups and downs of their juicy romances and chaotic lives. Noreen Klein is more than comfortable inside the smooth curves a size-24 frame enables. She's an empowered diva who gets what she wants -- including hot men. On the other hand, Dahlia Ortega is a beautiful woman who is extremely insecure with her thick body. Recently coming out of an abusive marriage, the docile Dahlia is left with a raging thirst for dominance. Kat Davis once had a perfect body, but now has to contend with the additional sixty pounds she put on during her tumultuous pregnancy. She wrestles with releasing herself from a self-imposed emotional prison, to embrace the love she deserves. Follow these three women as they fulfill their insatiable sexual appetites and overcome the disheartening emotional challenges that trouble many full-figured women.

Fresh, thoughtful, and endlessly provocative, The Last Prejudice proves how biases against voluptuous women don't exist when love and lust is in the air. Readers will be riveted by Rivera's fast-paced and passionate writing style -- a must-read for women of all sizes.

Finally , a Sex In The City for Big Beautiful Women, the women in this book reminded me of the women I used to go clubbing with. I recognized myself as I read this book.There is a deep message for all women in this book, one that says the only limitations that are put in love are the ones we create ourselves. This book tackles the subject of body image and self esteem and the power of course of friendship and love and loyalty and steamy erotic sex. Oh whee, It is a fun easy read and I am recommending this book to all my friends. You not only fall in love with the women in this book but with the men who love or attempt to love them.

Bringing Sexy Back

"The Last Prejudice" tells about the lives of three women - Noreen, Dahlia and Kat. Each woman wants the love of a good man. The common denominator of their weight is what binds them. Author David Rivera Jr., though his characters, deals with the struggles that plus-sized women may face. And not only plus-sized women, but the ups and downs women face with hidden insecurities and the rocky road of love. He did a wonderful job. I really enjoyed "The Last Prejudice" and hope that another book follows with a continuation of these characters.

This book was just okay...Kinda jumped around quit a bit and NOT at all what I expeceted...On the outside each lady seem to have confidence , but on the inside they battle with insecurities that seem to worsen after each failed relationship. In the end it turned out to be better than my initial thoughts....
