Review of BEHIND THE CURVES by Ann VremontSynopsis: Valerie is a plus-size newspaper reporter who has secretly been in love with her boss, Craig, for a year and a half.  She is given an assignment to go undercover in a massage parlor. Craig surprises her as a client and dares her to play along.  Will he still want her the next day?Backstory:  Though Craig is clearly dominant you don't actually realize he's a Dom until later in the book.  You find that he's been in love with Valerie for a long time, but was concerned: could she accept his unusual tastes and if she couldn't, could he give them up.  The other obvious is her body-image.  Though she never comes across as an insecure big girl, there are clearly some intimacy issues because of her weight.Series Possibilities:  Not likely.  There were no intriguing characters that might pop up on the radar.  A "the continuing saga off..." seem especially unlikely.Characters: Craig and Valerie.  There is another smarmy co-worker, but his "screen time" is very minimal.Relationship Style: M/FAlpha Style: Oh yeah!Hot Rating (1-10 with 10 being HOT HOT HOT): Most definitely a 10!Recommend:  ( x ) Yes  (  ) No.  Why?  Of late, I have found that a lot of book I have read morph into an threesome (or moresome) oriented relationship.  I'm sure there is an audience for those that enjoy that genre.  It's just not me.  And unfortunately a lot of book are now not coming with the "ménage" or "mfm" etc. identifier.  So you get it because the cover and synopsis doesn't indicate it's going that way.  Then bam! You find out it is, so you have keep reading the series or chalk it up to money lost.  This is clearly 1 Alpha Male/1 Curvy Cub!  The story moved along at a quick, but not stumbling quick pace.  It could have been longer, but in no way do I feel that I didn't get my money's worth. Highly recommend.
