Plot:Dr Samantha has spent the last 12 months caring for children in Rwanda. Her father's unexpected death, and surprising will, forces her to completely change her life - new job, new husband, and trying for a child.Comments:- Contemporary Erotic Romance.- 2517 kindle locations- m/f - explicit, plenty of dirty talk, and a variety of positions. Samantha's first time followed by frequent, sometimes aggressive, encounters. Borderline Dominant, spanking, anal.- While Samantha is supposed to be a plus-size woman, written as curvy and rubenesque, most women would see her as *normal*. "By current standards of beauty she was two dress sizes too big to be considered perfect."- Includes discussion of infidelity and child abuse.Opinion:"Curves for the Billionaire" had been recommended a few times on the Amazon Discussion Boards for Plus Size heroines so when it came up on a free list I decided to grab it. I probably wouldn't have grabbed it otherwise. But I did, and when I was looking for an easy, contemporary tale after overdosing on Medieval Historicals, this one floated to the top.First up, there are some general stylistic grammar issues and basic editing that may not be to everyone's taste. I didn't feel it detracted from the story overall, but is indicative of an author just starting out, who is still honing her craft, and needed a better proofreader. Unfortunately, the issues did become more obvious as the book progressed.At it's heart, there's a good story. It needs work. The author needs experience, particularly when it comes to writing dialogue and bedroom scenes. She gets heavy-handed and lectures the reader. Scenes needed cutting. It needed to be tighter. It's an okay, heavily erotic read that wasn't really ready for the market.-CR-
