Reviewed by Nadene R.Book provided by the author for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookOne may be inclined to believe based on the cover that this story could be classified as erotica. However, it’s not. This is not to say that the sex scenes were not hot but they were not explicit enough to be classified as erotica. Grading on Curves is what one would consider to be a sweet and sensual romantic read. This is a beautiful romantic story that depicts the love that a younger man has for an older woman.The lead male character, Curt, is a twenty-eight year old science teacher who found himself very much attracted to a thirty-six year old divorcee and mother name Mia. The attraction between these two was obvious from the very first moment they laid their eyes on each other. Curt was sure of his feelings for Mia and had no qualms being involved with despite the age differences. Mia on the other hand was concerned about it and also what others had to say about it. It was great to see how Curt went after what he wanted and was willing to do what it takes to win Mia’s heart and to erase her doubts. At the beginning it was easy for me to understand Mia’s fears about what her friends and family would think. However, as the story developed and it was clear that her friends and family were happy for her and that the age difference did not bother them, her insecurities became quite irritating. I so wanted to shake some sense into her and tell her to get over herself. She was willing to give up on something meaningful and beautiful because of fear.This story was easy to read. What drew my interest at the beginning was the blurb and the content did not disappoint. It pulled me in from the very first line. I could not wait to find out what would be Mia’s decision in the end. The story emphasized that one should not allow fear to rule our lives as it can lead to us losing out on great opportunities.This is my first experience with this author’s work and I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this book to readers of contemporary romance.
