Jamie “Roxy” Albright has one great love in his life and room for no other. He lives and breathes makeup. Men are nothing more than temporary distractions and romance… well, that isn’t worth his time. With a burgeoning career as a YouTube makeup artist opening doors to never before dreamed of opportunities, time isn’t something Jamie has and distractions aren’t something he can afford.

Instagram model and shirtless wonder Tyler Jackson is quickly falling for elusive Jamie. How it went from a seemingly innocent message to feelings, he’ll never know. Their chemistry is instant and fiery hot, and Tyler’s never been that good at self control. The challenges are endless, though. There’s Jamie’s walls to break through and a country worth of space between them. And just when things are starting to look up, life throws a wrench in the works.

Tyler Jackson is an Instagram model. He posts pics and videos of him working out and playing with his dogs. He also likes long terms relationships. This gorgeoooous specimen is described as dark haired, heavily tattooed, dimples, a 6 pack, sexy smirk, smart and I could go on and on.
As Jamie would say: drool-worthy.
Jamie “Roxy” is an ascending star vlogger at the top of his game, he lives and breathes makeup and he has a very peculiar trait: he never sleeps with the same guy twice.

"What if it wasn't as good the second time? Or, worse yet, what if I caught feelings? "

Jamie is all sass. He's creative, witty, bold, owns his internet-famous persona proudly and loves to shamelessly brag about his sex life on air. However, he is extremely closed up about his real self and wears his make up as a shield.

His weakness: Tyler Jackson, the shirtless wonder.
"He was HOT. Not pretty or cute, but I'd-let-you-fuck-me-till-I-cried-hot. Ugh."

Jamie has been stalking and ogling following Tyler's Instagram for a long time. In a bold move he makes a comment on Tyler's Instagram.
"Hey, I just wanted to say that your dogs are really cute."

Me: *choking* *cough fit* *snort*
I know... kill me now!
It was a banal comment,Taylor had messages like that often. It was the user name that caught his attention and sounded familiar though. He thought the woman in the profile pic was gorgeous. With a bit of a digging he found out that she was not a she.
Virtual banter happens and this reader loved it!

The guys hit off "virtually" immediately. They meet and fall in a long-distance relationship which is not easy as both guys have a very busy career.

The angst is light, all related with how closed up Jamie is. Nope, no one broke his heart. He just got baggage, a suitcase of issues from the way he was brought up, fatherless and by a mother who was never able to move on.

Contour wasn't perfect in my opinion. The relationship development happened in the same speed things happen in the internet, which is fast, super fast. I need it slower.

I thought of given it a full 4 stars initially but I felt the last 10% was a bit disappointing. I found it rushed. It was all settled too easily for my taste.
Contour explores a very current theme as virtual banter has taken the world in an incredible speed. You have a relationship at the tip of your fingers. That easy. It also gives a little insight about internet-famous life style.

For the ones who are wondering, it is hot.
Totally recommend.
