Review: I like this world a little too much

After reading another by-the-book romance featuring an alpha and his fated mate, I almost swore the whole genre off.  There are too many cliches and off the collar mentions of mates and possessive, dominant behavior packed under one roof for me.Curves For The Lone Alpha changed that.  Not only is it atypical in its portrayal of the wolf and even alphas for that matter, it presents mysteries that feel tangible and in a way that I know will be solved.  There's a world behind this book, like most, but it doesn't give me some fancy words and rules and keep the rest for me to guess at.Carrie reads wonderfully, with classic romance undertone fitted for a genre classic but lifted and retooled for something more adventurous.  She freaks out when appropriate, questions when in danger, and snarks only when the mood fits.This is a romance with other genres blended in, and it works well for it.  The breathless, hurried, frenetic pace of the sexual scenes resembles a great portrayal intercourse.  Too many books have too many times uttered too many "loves" and made a woman beg on their first time.If only I had a heads-up on when the next in the series would be out.  Cliffhanger for sure, but it's wrapped up nicely enough that if it doesn't continue I won't have to be ragingly angry, just visibly upset for the lack of unanswered, interesting mysteries.  I could've settled for a sudden, sharp cliffhanger with this writing, for sure.  Lemme know what's up with Carrie... please?
