NOTE: Size is such a subjective matter that I'm leaving it up to visitors of the site to make their own decision book-by-book based on the excerpts and reviews provided. So many of the novels, whether written about a heroine who is size 12 or 22, use the same wonderful descriptive language when referring to their curves: ample, soft, lush, luscious, voluptuous, etc etc (You can use the search page to find reviews of books with a specific size heroine.) I'd hate for anyone to miss out on a great book just because it wasn't marked a certain way size-wise.
However if you are only interested in plus-size books there are some authors, editors, and publishers who do focus exclusively on women over size 14. (Bear in mind there are many authors in the database who have written some plus-size heroines who aren't included in this particular list, so again I suggest you check the reviews of titles that catch your eye. :^) )
