Product Description
Big beautiful -- and in some cases slightly more mature -- heroines grace the pages of this collection of romantic short stories by Judy Bagshaw. Among the offerings in AT LONG LAST, LOVE: Jen believes fat girls like her don't find love -- but at her best friend's wedding those beliefs are put to the test. Middle-aged widow Tricia thought she had to be content living solo. Then she met Harry. Bev ran away with the "bad boy" as a teenager, only to find that fantasy and reality are vastly different. Twenty years later, can she recapture the love she threw away? Lori has long fantasized about meeting sexy-voiced Dan, one of her clients at the answering service. Will she break the rules and find true love? Karen has kissed a lot of frogs, but not yet met her prince. A chance encounter might change her life -- if she's willing to throw caution to the wind.

 | At Long Last, Love by Judy Bagshaw Jun 10, 2006 |
At Long Last, Love by Judy Bagshaw is a really good book. I loved that the women in the book were real. The women in each of the stories had to overcome the views most people have about women of plus size.
My favorite characters were Belle, Tricia, and Lori. These women were wonderful. They had such amazing support systems with their friends and some relatives. I could really relate to what these women went through because I know what it is like to have people look at you oddly. These women did not let life get in the way when they each realized someone cared for them.
This book is wonderful for all those hopeless romantics out there. Judy Bagshaw is able to get right to the heart of the matter. Her writing was easy to follow and I enjoyed every story though at the end I had wished there was more about each character. I was left wanting more. Judy Bagshaw is an amazing author and I look forward to reading more of her books.

Heroines: varied
A musical middle-aged widow, a disowned divorcée, an abundant young wallflower, an outspoken size activist, a doubly lucky lottery winner, an overworked answering service operator, and a blocked writer all find love where they least expect it in this anthology of seven fast-paced, easy-reading stories.
What worked for me:
"Coming Home" was my personal favorite (even though one story had a curvy gal who shared my name) because it was the tale of two high school sweeties who missed their chance the first time around, but got another shot at it later on in life. As a girl who married her high school boyfriend, I can heartily appreciate this one.
Size-wise the gents and ladies in this anthology were varied, but there is no question that they all understand about living life as "well-rounded" people in an angular society.
What didn't work for me:
The character who shares my name also shared an awful lot of the vitriolic self-hatred I used to harbor against myself, so it was a bit painful to read the beginning of this story. Fortunately, it all turns out okay in the end. :^)
Some of the stories which were written earlier in Ms. Bagshaw's career don't feel as polished as her more recent writings.
Overall:
These six sweet, charming tales about men and women of all ages and sizes finding love are sure to appeal to fans of romantic short stories everywhere.
If you liked "At Long Last, Love!" you might also enjoy the "Love at Large" or "Living Large" anthologies, or "The Bachelor's Cat".

This is a great anthology of women who are real rather
than Hollywood or storybook fantasy dolls. Duet,
Always the Bridesmaid, blue Collar Knight, The Jack
Pot, Wrong Number, Vivian's Muse :seven stories of
atypical heroines find true love. Very sweet. Highly
