Excerpt from Curvy’s Cad: A Curvy Girl’s Mistake?

Flushed, aroused, and shocked to her toes, Eliza stared.



“Really?” she asked as coolly as she could manage. It didn’t sound breathy — that had to count for something.



“I’ve admired your curves for a long time, Eliza,” Craig said, still serious, still watching her with that look that did nothing to ease the flush of arousal pounding through her. “I’ve admired so much about you.”



Eliza swallowed. Was it her imagination or did his voice fall an octave? Deep and dark and dripping in sex.



“And you can’t say we don’t have chemistry,” Craig continued. Closer.



When had he moved closer? She’d been paying attention; Eliza knew she had. Her entire and sole attention focused on him. Stunned she wondered what new game he was up to. But her thoughts fell over each other and she struggled to find coherency in this conversation.



“Volatile chemistry,” Eliza agreed. Was that her voice? That half-breathy half-laugh that did absolutely nothing to solidify her position as not interested?



“That’s the best kind,” he said with a smile that made her insides jump. “Come on, Eliza. Give this a try.”



Joking. He had to be joking. Craig could be a prankster, she knew this. She had even occasionally helped him plan a couple jokes on mutual friends. So this had to be it. A prank, a joke. Admittedly a poor one, or a poor attempt at one.



Eliza smiled. Yes, that was it. And she refused to fall for that. Smiling up at him, as come-hither and sultry as she could make her smile, she stepped closer, adding a little sway to her hips, one hand on her ample curves.



“You know, Craig,” she said softly, seductively, “if I didn’t know better, if,” she reiterated, “I would.”



She watched his already dark eyes darken further, that heat and hunger and need reaching for her. The finger that had, seemingly of its own will, trailed up his button-down now poked him hard in the chest.



That look in his eyes didn’t fade as she expected.



Kristabel Reed lives on the East Coast and loves to explore the steamier side of historical romance. Historical ménages in particular-they add an element of danger and discovery to make them all the hotter. Contemporary ménages are a world unto themselves, and her upcoming Havenbrook Ménages Series will tell the tale of a small California town.



She loves reading, watching old movies, and anything Cary Grant. And is always interested in talking about erotic romance. Because...yum!

My Thoughts:

I was given ecopies of all three books in exchange for my honest opinion. :-)

They are connected by the heroines. The three leading ladies are friends. You could read any of them as a stand alone but reading them in order would prevent any spoilers!

Each book had fun and flirty leading ladies and even the plots were more easy going than I'm used to. It was wonderful to read three individual books that were each low stress and didn't make me have any meltdowns.

I loved the attitudes of each woman. They were bigger built and not stick figures but still beautiful. It is a wonderful message. Be happy with who you are, there is someone for everyone, and never say never!

Each book was pretty short but you receive plenty of story!

The sexy scenes were written in a way that they were not super explicit. In addition there was more than plenty of romance, some laughs, and some great entertainment!

I would recommend these if you like your romance books on the quick side, if you like to laugh when you read or if you like snarky, sassy heroines.

  1. it's some wonderful story, i love that at least in some books authors think about all kind of heroine which it's not as common in TV show. Beauty is everywhere and never in one unique standard.
    i would be pleased to read these i think

    1. Thank you! The models for the covers were all super nice to work with. I had to do the covers that way because there is a distinct lack of curvy women on the stock photo sites!

  6. I like books that have realistic women. Not everyone is a super model! These all sound great so adding them to my wishlist.

    1. Thanks! Besides, those super models are airbrushed. ;) Is that too catty? But I do agree, real women have curves!

      Delete
    2. Ha no! I totally agree with you! ;) I honestly find that women look much prettier without all the makeup. Or very light makeup.

    3. so true because after some year of use when you see them without anything their skin is awful

  7. I like the concept of these books as I am a curvy woman also.
