Curvy by Alexa Riley

Header Review Curvy

Flynn is the very definition of a workaholic businessman, and it has been getting worse since his father’s death. His company is everything he is interested in, and he’s completely devoted to it. That is, until one day in a meeting while discussing new strategy for a failing lingerie brand, one particular binder falls and reveals someone that completely and utterly steals his attention…

I’ve never had a reaction like this to a woman. I’m too old to get a fucking hard-on from seeing a woman in a picture. She’s not even naked. Just the sight of her in her underwear has me nearly bursting in my slacks.

He is instantly more than attracted, and it’s so funny to see him struggle to keep his bearings. Not that he succeeds…LOL

“Her name?” I push, and she reaches for the binder. I pull it back, not wanting it taken from me. Almost like a toddler with his favorite toy.

I really loved this initial scene, where we see all these different sides and reactions from him. And we immediately acknowledge the perfect H that he is and it’s set to makes us swoon at every turn. 

She tries to hand me another binder, but I have no desire to look at pictures of other women. What would be the point? They’d all pale in comparison. I’ve just seen perfection and I know nothing could beat it.

To be able to approach and meet her, he arranges for a photoshoot where she is hired as one of model. She has no idea that this photoshoot will change her life forever…

Cali is a plus size model, that has been working in the industry for some years. She is strong, confident and very comfortable in her skin. Of course she also has some hang-ups and moments of doubt, but those are part of our human nature.

I’ve got the body of a “real woman.” I think every size is beautiful. Every woman is a real woman: tall, short, thin, and big. Beauty comes in different shapes. I’d just prefer it if the sexy stuff came in my size more often.

Flynn was one of the most OTT obsessed Hs I have ever read. Sometimes it’s funny how he really can’t see reason where Cali is concerned. 🙂

“He’s gay, sir.”

“He won’t be when he sees her.” I find it completely unbelievable that there would be a man on earth who wouldn’t want her. I’d only seen a picture of her and I was obsessed. Consumed.  (Flynn to his executive about the photographer)

If he was already obsessed with her through her photos, that takes a whole new dimension when he sees her in person.

She’s definitely mine, and I’m never letting this angel go.

And upon the first touch, there is no coming back for either of them…

As soon as I make contact, it’s there, and so is the heat. It’s an instant attraction. It’s as if my soul has finally found its other half. (Flynn’s inner thoughts)

I can we not sigh? Alexa Riley’s always offers us amazing heroes, and this one is not exception. No one creates a dominant, obsessed and loyal like her. AR totally rocks this genre, how can I not be a die hard fan of her work? 😉

I’ll give her anything she wants. All she needs to do is ask. I will devote my life to waiting hand and foot on her if that’s what she desires. She is mine to protect and to cherish, always.

This story has the perfect balance of sweet, funny and steamy hot. An amazing OTT Hero and a fantastic heroine, and most importantly, off the charts chemistry! On a side note, I would like to point out that it was refreshing that there were no snappy comments or mean girl talk amongst the models. They only speculated and wanted a piece of Flynn, but come on, let’s be honest, who doesn’t? LOL

And now, I anxiously wait for my next AR fix! 😉

“How do you know?” she asks, and I can see the pleading in her eyes. “Because I didn’t exist until the day I saw you.”
