Short stories are always difficult for me because if they're good, I inevitably want more.  I want to know more about the characters, their motivations, their backstory and then hopefully if the ending is good, their life together.  "Curve My Appetite", while hot, steamy and well-written, left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.In the beginning, we meet Sally.  I think Sally is a character most people can identify with.  She has insecurities about her body that many women have, as she doesn't fit into the mold that of a "perfect" body as defined by society.  She has a bad experience at the hands of a cruel frat boy when she was in college.  Since then, she's not been with a man and decides to have one last hurrah before she resigns herself to what she feels is an inevitable fate as a spinster.  So, at her friends urging, she signs up through an agency for a one night stand with her fantasy.  And oh fantasy, they name is Dean.This is one of those books that jumps straight into the sex.  It's a wham-bam -thank-you-ma'am kind of ride.  For me, this is both a good and a bad thing.  Good, because come on...this is why you read erotica.  Bad, because it doesn't give you any of the meat that makes a good story sandwich.  Who are these characters?  There is some information given, but personally, I crave more.For a short story, I really enjoyed "Curve my Appetite".  I'd be interested to hear more of the story of Dean and Sally (hint, hint).  They were intriguing characters that were very real to me.  This is a 3.5 star story for me!
