Curve Couture by H. M. Irwing is a romantic erotica which revolves around two protagonists, Claire and Erin. Claire is a beautiful and passionate person, but she also deals with several insecurities regarding her body. She works as an agent for her sister who is a top-notch model. Tired with her sister’s manipulations, she decides to take her life into her own control and approaches the other main character of this book, Erin.
Erin is a model turned agent and Claire finds him extremely attractive. Erin could also be called ‘His Hotness’, the way he has been described in the novel. You have to read the book to truly appreciate the nomenclature I have assigned to Erin. So, moving on with the story, Claire tries to pass on her agentship to Erin but instead got a modelling career for herself. How she manages to transform into a hot sex-symbol and how she frees herself from the clutches of her selfish sister is a story worth reading.
Regarding the characters in the book, I found that they need more work. Claire is a sweet character and possesses a strong character. Despite her insecurities regarding her body figure, she takes up the challenge of becoming a model. However, there were times when I felt that she gave in to some situations easily, especially if the situation involved ‘His Hotness’, Erin. Erin is also a likable character but only to an extent. In the initial phase of the story, he appeared to be a person who will get his way in any manner. I was really impressed by his obsession, but later on it became quite irksome. I could not make myself justify his unpredictable sexual behaviour in the face of jealousy. The other characters in the book failed to make any impression on me.
Overall, I found the book a good read, but there are some issues with the flow of the story. The novel started with a bang and promised a very sensual, tense and unique plot, but around the middle it became a little sluggish and repetitive. I have to stop myself from skipping the pages which contained repetitive kinds of sexual scenes. Approaching the end, I found everything happening in the book in a very convenient and easy manner. I was wondering where the big bang moment has gone. Could I have overlooked it? But then I realized that the ‘WOW’ factor is missing in the concluding phase of the novel. I also noticed that in one or two places the sentence structure was jumbled due to its extra-long length and I had to read those sentences twice or thrice. However, it is a good novel and people who have a liking for romance with an erotic nature will sure enjoy it.
I give Curve Couture by H. M. Irwing 3 out of 4 stars. One star has been deducted for the reasons I explained in the previous paragraph. I recommend this book to romance and erotica lovers with a word of caution for the younger readers as the book contains explicit sexual content.
