Wow... No.

HOT SHORT STORY


Chase and Roman have been friends with Grace since childhood, they have both always looked out for her. Especially if she was teased for being the fat girl. As they all grew older both Chase and Roman wanted Grace. But she would never choose either not wanting to hurt them.
But they have both now returned from a tour of duty in Afganistan. Having been through hell, they have decided to persuade Grace that they are going to share.
What follows is a hot love scene between the three. As the author states in the blurb a this has a HFN ending. Lets hope she writes more about this threesome!

I liked it well enough... could have been soo much better.. if it was longer.. just a bit more backbone to the story to see how all three of them made the relationship work. But yeah I liked it thought for a short story it was good.

Romance peu commune, mais le genre de romance qui m'attire de plus en plus.
Lorsque j'ai commencé à la lire, j'avais un peu peur de tomber sur quelque chose de crû, et de "sale", mais Christa Wick a su trouver les mots pour rendre cela très beau

La relation entre Chase, Roman et Grace est très intense, et ce, depuis l'enfance. Et en quelques pages, l'auteur arrive vraiment à nous faire ressentir cela.
Ce n'est absolument pas une histoire dramatique d'amours déçues, mais bien une magnifique histoire d'amour.
J'ai d'ailleurs regretté qu'elle soit aussi courte (mais en même temps, mieux vaut faire court et bien, que long et bof ^^ )


Quand on lit ce genre d'histoire, on a vraiment envie de croire que ça pourrait marcher "pour la vie", et c'est ce que nous donne cet auteur: un "pourquoi pas, après tout..."

J'ai aussi adoré le fait que Grace soit une héroïne ayant "des formes". C'est un style qui prend de plus en plus d'ampleur sur la toile et qui, je trouve, est plus vrai que ces héroïnes à la taille mannequin dont les garçons seraient friands (ce qui n'est pas vraiment conforme à la réalité, en plus).
C'était vraiment agréable de "suivre" les rondeurs de Grace, d'autant plus que l'auteur n'en fait pas tout un paquet: elle est ronde et les garçons adorent ses courbes, point. Rien de plus. Cela s'intègre parfaitement dans l'histoire sans être trop intrusif.

L'auteur a très bien su donner de la profondeur à ses personnages dans une histoire pourtant très courte, rendant le lecteur accro dès les premières pages
De plus, à cause du thème, on pourrait croire que l'auteur irait directement plonger en plein sexe, ce qui n'est pas du tout le cas.
Somme toute, la scène érotique ne prend pas énormément de place dans l'histoire. Il y a d'abord toute une mise en place très intéressante: beaucoup de jeu entre les personnages, d'attention, de flirt et de préliminaires.

Je n'avais pas envie de lire une histoire de fesses, juste pour ça. Je voulais une vrai histoire d'amour et de passion avec des émotions intenses et une interaction particulière entre les héros... et je n'ai pas été déçue!

Une histoire courte lue en 30 minutes environ, que je conseille à tout le monde.
Et une histoire idéale pour débuter en v.o car elle est courte et les mots sont simples.

How fucking hot!!!! Roman, Gracie and Chase gives us the best definition of BFFs! As always I love the BBW getting the best there is, so why not two...lol. I liked the fact that Gracie showed her vulnerabilities and insecurities in being a big girl. But he best friends loved her no matter what. The loved her enough to realize they had to work together to show her just how much.

This was a great quick read and I would love to read more about them going home hand-in-hand-in-hand.

A short, hot story about a BBW woman hooking up with her two best friends from childhood. There's enough plot here to make you feel like you read a story and not just a few sex scenes, and the characters are engaging. It's easy to feel the connection between the three of them, and the heat when they get together is smoking hot. All in all, not a bad story to kill 30 minutes or an hour with.

[Army-mom · Rating 4 out of 5]

ok, I noticed they did not wear condoms and she had both dicks in her pussy at the same time(umm, sounds like something to try one day) anyway after having a short chat about marrying them both - now they are licking her cunt-- ok, so to me this sounds like a creampie event - even though it is not mentioned.

[Maria · Rating 3 out of 5]

Woah!!!
Now that was something different! It was totally hot and written better than I've expected!
Just a sweet read for lunch break or something! And did I mention it was hot! Gah!
I liked it, it was breezy, no drama, no sweet talk and BS, just scorching hot!

I wanna be a character in one of your books if this is how I'd get my 'Honey, I'm Home'

[C.J. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very sexy short story. Would have liked an epilogue.

[Vicki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot!!!!

I enjoyed Curves For Two and wished the book was longer than it was. I look forward to reading more BBW romances.

[Deborah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hold onto your hat! Hot and Steamy alert! I loved this quick book! Just what I was looking for! I love your books Christa!!

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yum! That's all there is to say! Oh, with a cherry on top! (Would have given it five stars if it were longer)

I purchased Curves for Two as part of an anthology.

Two best friends and hot military guys, Roman and Chase both have always wanted curvy big girl, Grace. Home from their second deployment, they want to make a family with them sharing Grace. Curves for Two is a sex scene to convince her to go along with their new concept of sharing. It ends in a cliffhanger.

[CJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sweet short read. Just a small interlude into the life of these three people, not a complete ending, but a good ending for now. Not sure if this was a serial or if there is a second book, but this was still enjoyable and hot enough on it's own.

[Jadzia · Rating 1 out of 5]

Another story chopped in pieces to squeeze out pennies. Only this one is rapey!

There can be a fine line between domination themed sex scenes and rape scenes, and this crossed the line. I felt sick reading it.

I don't recommend, at all.

[Destiny · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good book, I just wish it was longer. It was too short for me. But very well written.

[Malinda · Rating 3 out of 5]

3-3.5 stars

This was a good short story. Grace, Chase and Roman have been friends all their lives. Chase and Roman are best friends but always competed for Grace, trying to get her to choose between them. She loved them both so could never choose. Chase and Roman go off to war and when they come back things are different. Chase and Roman no longer want Grace to choose one of them, they want her to choose both of them. Because it is a short story there are some loose ends that aren't tied up but it could still count as a HEA (I think this is supposed to be the start of a serial). I wish there was a part 2 of this story. I'd like to see how things work out for Grace, Chase and Roman. I enjoyed reading this short story and will probably try other stories by this author.

[Bethany · Rating 2 out of 5]

I get so frustrated when an author stops short and gives you good instead of fabulous. There was SO much potential with this story.
I would have loved the back story of Gracie, Chase & Roman. How their relationship(s) were in the past since they mutually agreed to move from a love triangle (each man wanting her for their own) to a full on Ménage à trois. I wanted to read about when the news was broken to the families, especially Mrs. Clarke who has a distaste for big girls and never liked Gracie even being friends with Chase never mind living with him.
With a few chapters before and after, this would have easily been a 4 star read.

[Pamela · Rating 3 out of 5]

Yum! Yum! If this is what the military offers, please recruit me. I do love men in uniform, and two hotties luvin' on one lucky woman - well, all the better.
PROS: Great short story, very hot sexy scenes, well written, and I loved the characters too.
CONS: Just too short. I wanted to know the characters better: their childhood friendship, how they deal with their small town, and what's in store for the future.
I've already gone to the author's website to look for similar sexy reads. Please, Wicked Christa, write that expansion when you can. I'm looking forward to it.

[Ruby Madden · Rating 3 out of 5]

Roman & Chase... oh my! I loved the plot idea of two men coming back from a tour of military duty and realizing that they want to tag-team seduce a buxom beauty they've both lusted after all those years. I do wish there had been more story/plot/character development and that the 'claiming' of Grace had been about twice as developed and covered a few more pages of steamy seduction. But for $3, it was a fun way to escape. :)

[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5*stars

This could've been so much more than it was, but due to the lack of page count, could not be realised. Just fleeting snippets of a back story, teases of childhood friendships......frustratingly, I needed this explored further!! Not a lot to go on to allow you to appreciate what is suppose to be the start of a committed ménage.

Real shame as I would've liked to have read this as a full length book.

[Heather · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dont like managè as a rule, so the story has to be good enough to suck me in. This wasn't one of them, but to be fair, so few are and if L. Leigh didnt write it, it wasnt, an I didn't. Once again, this is the fault of personal preference, not writing style or story. If managè does do it for u, an too short doesnt turn u off, this book will light ur fire, even if it didn't light mine.

[Katy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this story - it was hot, but sweet. I think the marriage concept may have been a bit overboard, but the fact that these two men were so in love that they decided they could share was pretty striking.

I also liked that the book wasn't ALL sex - there was a whole lot of teasing and foreplay from the beginning that sucked the reader in. It was well written and intriguing!

[Elisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very enjoyable short menage story. I'm hoping there is going to be a sequel as I liked these 3 people, a lot. I liked that the 2 soldiers have been to hell and back and are now able to try sharing the heroine instead of trying to get her to pick one of them.

I was given a copy of this story and promised to post an honest review.

[A C · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was short but wow I really enjoyed it... Most of the times with short books its hard to get the emotions from the characters and relate to them personally .. I can absolutely say that I felt there emotions and I saw the love btwn the main cast.. I want more of this story I want the HEA now!!!!!

[Tasneem · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a sweet little erotic tale. I liked that she was friends with them for years before the men realised they couldn't ask her to chose. They seemed real people even within the short time frame of the story.

[Nancy Huddleston · Rating 4 out of 5]

Three best friends finally realize that to be happy. They have to share. I enjoyed this fast,sexy story of two men loving one curvy woman. Christi Wick does a wonderful job of turning fantasy into forever. It is a funny, fast read.

[Ivy Deluca · Rating 2 out of 5]

Basic menage story, would have been interested in seeing how the heroes came to an agreement to share instead of their previous competition for the heroine. Without it, it’s simply about the sex scenes which were just ok.

[Rhonda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good

Sex was hot. Too Short. Loved the characters. The 4 stars is because I wanted more. But it is kinda nice that there was no angst because the story never got that far. Roman's mother would have been a downer.
