In this voluptuously erotic collection, editor and best-selling author Rachel Kramer Bussel showcases the sensual side of having �more to love,” from the sexiness of big butts and plus-size corsets to the irresi...more

Who is “overweight?” Who is “plus-sized?” These loaded terms are more culturally-specific than many people seem to realize. This anthology contains no precise definition of “curvy,” but the fact that women’s clothing in Size 14 and up is usually only available in “plus-size” stores (at least in North America) neatly serves to divide women on the basis of size in much the same way that apartheid once divided people on the basis of skin colour. Despite famous paintings of full-figured women and ev...more
Curvy Girls exceeded even my high expectations to a striking degree. Since I thought the theme was marvelous, I expected to enjoy the book, but as far as I'm concerned, Curvy Girls is truly an exceptional anthology.
There is no question that the lovers in this book find the protagonists sexy—breathtakingly so in many cases. The overt and often verbal appreciation the protagonists' admirers have for their beauty mesmerized me in story after story. As I saw it, these stories tended to come either f...more

Curvy Girls is a steamy set of stories every voluptuous girl with curves will adore. (And I have no doubt that guys who like curves on their ladies will probably enjoy this anthology just as much.) Some of the tales burn fast and quick and other simmer at a deeper level. For me, personally, I could relate to several of the female main characters' "issues" and fantasies. It may seem that curves are not appreciated as much these days, but the authors of these stories prove a lack of love from the...more
This is a surprisingly diverse collection. It features women with the large breasts, butt and hips that I expected going in, but it also features women whose largeness manifests in less expected ways, like strongly muscled legs; there are stories of trysts between near-strangers, between people in heterosexual or homosexual monogamous relationships, and one featuring a polyamorous triad; the characters are mostly white but there are few interracial couples and couples where both partners are non...more
This was a goodreads book that I won. I loved the idea of the book. There are not many stores out there that involves curvy girls. I give this book 3.5 stars. For me the stores were way too short. And yes, I know they're sort stories. But most of them were too sort, some only a few pages. It was hard to get into the lives of some of the people in that short of a time. A lot of them were really good. And I relate to some of the girls in the book.

Edited by prolific erotica writer/editor Rachel Kramer Bussel, Curvy Girls is a collection of short and sexy stories celebrating lust at larger sizes, and serves as a delightful introduction to feminist erotica as well as an addition to an already-established library.
Plus-size, curvy, generous, fat; women in these stories describe their bodies in different ways, and they have very realistic and at times very nuanced self-perceptions. It’s a fallacy too often seen in popular culture and pornograp...more

Not my cup of tea. Very much Wham-Bam-thank-you-Ma'am porn. Just doesn't do it for me.
Definitely a hot read. Impressed and satisfied that there is erotica out there that loves women...every inch!
This book was super hot! I love anthologies and this one has earned a place on my forbidden and favorite bookshelf.
I really enjoyed this book.

“We should be able to time travel," he said. "Back to an age when society was kinder to the Rubenesque woman."
"Hmph." I wasn't able to say much.
"I'd love that. I love softness. Love curves. The more, the better."
"D'you really?"
"Why wouldn't I? Think of all the words associated with a bit of extra flesh. Generous. Ample. Voluptuous. Bountiful. Beautiful, sensual words. Contrast them with their opposites. Mean. Insufficient. Meager. Miserly."
I snuffled into his velvet jerkin or doublet or whatever it was and looked up at him. "You should be a professional morale booster," I told him. "You're very kind to say all this but --"
"Kind?" he burst out. "No, I'm not kind! I don't feel sorry for you. I want you.”
