Bewitching Rhaego
by Victoria Aveline
Book 8 in Clecanian
Aurora is a plus-size FMC who reads as actually soft and brave rather than performing either, and Rhaego is the kind of monster-romance hero who looks terrifying and immediately starts worshipping her. The hunt-contest premise sounds dark on paper, but the book itself is sweet, sex-positive, and delivers the size-difference + body-worship spice readers come to Aveline for.
