ALPHA'S CURVY OBSESSION is novella number 8 in the Primal Alphas series. As far as I can tell, they are all standalone, so reading them in any order is fine.

This is a fast-paced, insta-love between an art collector and an artist. He is older, established, and a billionaire. She is twenty-two, just starting out in life, and living on ramen noodles. He has been obsessed for three years, but only now gets to meet her properly.

The premise of the story is an intriguing one, but it never really fulfils its promise. A lot is skimmed over, which I know is usually the way with a novella, but for the topics covered, I feel it should have more depth. It is definitely more focused on the steamy scenes rather than the story. And maybe it was how I read it, but the timeline didn't fully match up. She wins the award, he invites her to his gallery, she goes into heat for three days, and is pregnant by the end of it. But then the next chapter says six months later, and she's only four-and-a-half months pregnant? Maybe I missed something? I would also have liked the cover to represent the FMC.

Anyway, if you're after a steamy omegaverse, then this might be just what you wanted.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Maya Flowers sees a new commuter on her train, and knows that he’s The One, so she becomes obsessed, imagining what his life is like and who he is until she plucks up the courage to give him a note.

When I realised that this was based on a true story, I decided to read it, thinking that because it was meant that it wouldn’t to be too pink and fluffy. And I was quite glad that I picked it up because it was entertaining.

I really liked Maya, the fact that she seemed so normal. I loved that her obsession with James was so obvious, it made her such a relatable character.

I did struggle a bit with the pace of the novel. It was quite slow all the way through, when I’m more into novels that jump straight into a good juicy plot. But I should have expected this from a book that’s about missed chances.

It was definitely an enjoyable read, with some funny parts. It also definitely made me smile. However I did definitely struggle with it, and to say that it’s only short, it took me a bit longer to read than I thought it would. It just seemed to be missing something.

But since it’s based on a true story, I’m not sure I can really comment much on the plot.

It’s definitely worth reading if you like Jojo Moyes, and I did enjoy it. My only comment is that the pace seemed to let it down.
