Audrey Mills flaunts her curvaceous figure and has no qualms about her size or her love of creamy pastry. But a sexy billionaire earl would throw any girl off her game, and when Duncan, Lord Thornhill, asks her out, Audrey is definitely thrown.
Regaining composure, she accepts the date and the accompanying holiday fling her adventurous side wants.
She doesn't expect more than a fling, but what's a girl to do when things start to turn serious? Does she cut her loses and run to chocolate? Or does she make the leap?
Countess Curvy is a 36,000 word m/f story with explicit sex scenes and a curvy leading lady that’s curvy-licious!
Kristabel Reed lives on the East Coast and loves to explore the steamier side of historical romance. "There are so many sexy situations that didn't just pop up in the 21st century and my goal is to burst the myth of the prim and proper debutante."
She loves romances but historical ménages particularly which add an element of danger and discovery not seen in contemporaries. Historically speaking, unusual romantic connections put lives on the line-people were ostracized and some even put to the death.
She loves reading, watching old movies, and anything Cary Grant. And is always interested in talking about erotic romance, so drop her a line: kristabelreed@yahoo.com; or Tweet her @kristabelreed; find her blog: kristabelreed.blogspot.com
Wow I enjoyed this read, I wonder what happened to that skinny cousin. Moved Heaven and Earth sort to speak for her, EPILOGUE would have been wonderful.
All romances are wrote around the same plot: boy and girl meet, boy and girl fall in love, boy or girl break up, one ends up changing or chasing the other and live happily ever after. It is the meat of the story that distinguishes it from all the other stories available to readers. When an authors takes a mostly taboo subject like weight and uses it to write a romance that any romance reader can enjoy it stands out from the glitzy, Barbie doll stereo-type romances normally available.
Readers learn early that Audrey is not your average stick figure female. She has curves and is proud of them. Curves she is proud of flaunt and use to her advantage. Audrey’s character would be a great role model for many young females today.
We would all love to marry someone rich, someone willing to take care of us, someone that could and would give us the world on a silver platter then ask us if we would like the stars tomorrow as a gift. When Audrey meets Duncan she assumes he would not be interested because of his status. Little did Audrey know that Duncan is more interested in her than any stick-figure female alive?
Being a curvy girl myself I easily connected with Audrey. If this book did not have sexual scenes I would gift my niece a copy to show her curves on females are perfect and men loves curves. Maybe in a few years she will be ready to read this great book.
I highly recommend this to any who love romance along with a taboo subject.
The bunnies and I give this book carrots.

Hot and funny; laugh out loud while also poignant... Ms. Reed manages a coup with this series. With 'normal', believable characters throughout and an eye for detail, she writes with an easy prose that wraps you up in the story and in the flowing interactions between her characters.
I'll admit I found Sabrina from Boss Likes Curves a little too brash; it was hard to really like her especially at first, but the other heroines make up for this. Audrey is the kind of girl you'd want as a BFF right away, and her fashion savvy is refreshing, as is the bird's eye view of London Ms. Reed paints in this book. Eliza was another darling, though slightly ditzy, but with a good heart. The heroes - well, let's just say you could read these books just for the heroes *grin*
A good trilogy. Bit on the hot side, but the reads don't scrimp of characterization and conflict just for the sake of pushing heat throughout.
