Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology is a collection of unique very short stories that is their adult adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood with a little twist by 12 very talented authors:
Ruby by Autumn Sand is sensual and romantic and temptation at its finest. Autumn knows her stuff as usual.
Finding Red by Natalie-Nicole Bates is a little bit of a thriller where one girl tries to hide her identity but is always found by the bad step father and evil mother. Can she finally find a safe haven.
Cloaked by Lia Fairchild is part romance and part thriller, and will keep you on your toes.
The Wolves Den by Laci Page is hot and takes you into the world of BDSM. Ooooh la la.
Falling For The Hood: A Fairy Tale Retold by Amy Allen where the hot and sexy enemy is more than he seems and turns out to be so much more.
Redd’s Wolves by D.A. Stein is a reverse harem with one innocent girl living with her Granny and three sexy wolf shifters.
Little Red’s: A Red Riding Hood Short Story by Darlene Tallman is where a girl finds out her sexy new boss is a wolf shifter and mates are for life.
River Runs Red by Kay Elle Parker is steamy and mysterious as she learns that she has been duped by her mother and must learn who she is all over again. It ended before I was ready.
Magic of Merlot by Lorah Jaiyn is a thriller where karma decides to take those who mean harm and along the way two souls find each other.
Redbourne by Natalia Schellhaas is a bit of a sad tale as falsehoods and lies and prejudices cause death and trouble.
Brother Wolfe by Ceecee Elaine is a bit on the dark side as a sister becomes her brother’s latest victim.
Waking Red by Jess Bagnall is thriller and again a bit on the sad side.
Each one is cleverly written and shaped by their imagination to give each a modern twist that will leave you wanting more as they include paranormal and fantasy, erotica and romance, BDSM and reverse harem, and so much more. Trust me the pages will keep turning as you get a taste for these sexy, stimulating and tempting snacks. I have found myself some new authors, I liked their stories so much.
This is a nice collection of stories. They are fun because they all have a common theme running through them. They have genres from horror to erotica and others in between. Some of these were enjoyable. A few of them seemed a bit short and I wasn’t a big fan of the insta-love.
Little Red’s by Darlene Tallman was a favorite. Wolf packs are a story i enjoy and this one filled that void. The characters were believable and the story cute.
Cloaked by Lia Fairchild really drew me in and was very inventive. I liked the characters and enjoyed the twists and turns. I really could have read this one over again.
A few others were Ruby by Autumn Sand and River Runs Red by Kay Elle Parker. I liked them…they were pretty sexy. I just wish there was more to each of them.
Irresistible Valentine filled with five-star reads. I love Anthology’s like these as they bring so many great authors together, so you can read old favourites and then find new authors as well. Each story will show you something to make you smile, each one brings something special to the collection. My favourite’s are Tamara Ferguson with Two Hearts Reconnaissance and I adore this one as even though its teenagers, I remember what that was like, she shows us expertly how you fear life will end if you don’t see the other part of your soul immediately. Alicia Street with Never Lovers, a great story with a fabulous twist that will keep you on your toes and then finally Jacquie Bigger who brings us The Player and this one, well this one had that extra special sauce to it and just had a little extra sparkle as it involves a player in more ways than one. If you are in the mood for some great reads then pick this collection up.
Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) a five-star read that would have you going into the woods. This is a fabulous selection of short stories by different authors, all telling their own version of Little Red Riding Hood, each story has a different take, some do different genres and some just turn it its head. This is filled with compelling stories and I loved them all, but I have to say Autumn Sand puled it out of the bag, maybe its just my personal circumstances right now, but that one touched me close. Another two that I really felt deserve special mention as they both either told a great story, or just had that extra special something and they were Cloaked by Lia Fairchild and Amy Allen. Well done all on these amazing stories.
IRRESISTIBLE VALENTINE (Irresistible Romance Book 3)
Anthology
This is a wonderful anthology full of great stories by amazing authors. Each of these stories give you something different from sweet romance to suspenseful romance, there is something for everyone in this collection. One of my favorite stories is Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson. I was captivated by this story. Harry and Eve met as teenagers and these two had already been put through so much that all I wanted for them is to be happy. This story had me on an emotional rollercoaster. To find out if these two can find their way back to each other after their careers took them on different paths. then this is a must read.
The Player by Jacquie Biggar is another one of my favorites. As a professional hockey player Roy was used to having his pick of women, but then one of those women turns into a stalker. Now he needs help cleaning up his image. Will he settle down and forget his bachelor ways? This story had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen. All of these books have something special to offer. I highly recommend this box set.
I only read two stories out of this anthology, Irresistible Valentine, and they were Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson and The Player by Jacquie Biggar. I was completely blown away by Ferguson’s short story! It was very emotional and dramatic and left you wanting a lot more than what you got! It was very fast paced as well, and super sweet. The Player was amazing as well! I loved the drama, and the chemistry, and I even laughed a little as well! Both of these stories were extremely well written, with some very dramatic occurrences that I wasn’t expecting at all from a romance anthology. I highly recommend this, both stories I read were absolutely incredible!
My two favorite stories are by Tamara Ferguson and Jacquie Biggar
Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance: Tamara Ferguson
Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson is one of my favorite stories in this anthology. Ferguson wrote about a teenage couple Eve and Harry. They became close friends and it grew into a loving relationship. Now they had to split ways because they had different careers. Do you remember your high school sweetheart? Can you think about parting ways only to find your way back to them? Will Eve and Harry be able to rekindle their story? This story has a roller coaster ride of emotions. Enjoy Eve and Harry and their special story.
The Player by Jacquie Biggar
This love story is about Roy and Patience. Roy is a NHL player and he had a stalker. Now he was not able to play because of them. There was PA Patience, who helped him with his PR. All Roy wants is to play hockey. There was something innocent about Patience that peaked Roy’s interest. Can there be romance in the PA Patience and NHL Roy? Will Roy allow himself to love Patience? This is a short story but it is well written and captured my attention throughout the whole story.
This anthology is one to warm your heart and just in time for Valentines! I loved each of the stories and felt they all fit nicely in the anthology. My two favorites were the selections from Biggar and Ferguson. But all of them just were truly fantastic stories that I enjoyed immensely. If you love love and love a good love story, this anthology is a must read.
Irresistible Valentine is pages and pages and hours upon hours of goodness aka it is the third instalment in the Irresistible Romance anthology series and is filled with Valentine stories by nine amazing writers – Tamara Ferguson, Natalie Ann, Suzanne Jenkins, Cynthia Cooke, Alicia Street, Jacquie Bigger, Stacy Eaton, Susan Jean Ricci and Patrice Wilton. I love anthologies as they give you a sample of multiple writers so it is a great way of discovering new writers! This is how I had already found quite a few of the writers who contributed to this anthology. I will share my review for Tamara Ferguson’s Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance – she is my absolute favorite writer out of all nine writers here! I think I have read every single story she has written and I have not encountered anything that I would not love! Two Hearts’’ Reconnaissance is part of her Two Hearts Wounded Warrior romance series and it is the 13th!!!!!! instalment! (can you just imagine all the goodness you have to look forward to if this is your first encounter with her!) As you can imagine from the title of the series then the stories have a very serious subject matter but I promise you, they are filled with hope and we always get our happy ending! Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance gives us Eva Loughlin and Harry Giordano who has survived a lot! (Have a box of tissues at hand! You will need it from the start!) There is this amazing connection between them since the moment they met when they were just kids! Life takes them into different directions and as it is with living, there are ups and downs and thorough it all we keep our fingers crossed for a chance for them to find a way back to each other! I also loved learning more about some of the characters that I have read about in the other stories. There were three writers in the anthology that were new for me and it was Jacquie Biggar’s story the Player that took the cherry! I love sports stories (especially hockey ones) and Jacquie gives us Roy who gets sidelined from NHL thanks to his stalker ex so he ends up needing some little help from a PA Patience … so you can imagine the good laughs and antics and aww moments she mixed up for us and to be frank, I think the story would have deserved to be longer! I for sure will keep my eyes open for more by Jacquie!
Yet again another wonderful anthology filled with some amazing stories! I think I have read something by all of these authors previously so it was great to read their work again! I love anthologies as they always have a little bit of something for everyone in them, all different but full of wonderful romance!
Two Hearts Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson I loved this story! Tamara Ferguson is one of my favourite authors and I have read almost every single one of her books. Eve and Harry’s story was a great read about second chance romance, close friends who lost touch and found their way back to each other. The story was quite emotional at times and as always the author made me feel like I was right there with the characters. With both characters having had such hard childhoods I was rooting for them to both find their happily ever after the hole way through!
The Player by Jacquie Biggar I’ve read work by Jacquie Biggar before and I love her writing style, I am easily transported in to her story and the lives of her characters. This story definitely had me laughing my way through it! The banter between Roy and Patience certainly kept me entertained from beginning to end; they definitely knew how to rub each other up the wrong way!!
Along with these two stories were some other really great reads and this anthology is definitely one that I would recommend!
The Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology is a book packed with steamy little short stories. Who knew there were so many ways to retell a favorite fairy tale. Memorable is the story called Ruby by Autumn Sand. Our heroine shares the heart ache of breast cancer and divorce. It’s a steamy little story for sure but Ruby shares with us through her story the difficult task of coming to terms with what we think about ourselves. I think my favorite story of them all was Cloaked by Lia Fairchild. Fairly tame, without all the hot and steamy. What I think I liked best about it was it reminded me more of Romeo and Juliet, just without the senseless tragedy. I came away from that little story with a real good feeling.
Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) is a fantastic collection of stories from twelve talented authors who each weave their own version of the classic fairytale “Little Red Riding Hood”. As such, each story is quite individual to the author, having their own unique take on the theme, and creating their own identity, mood and tone within the collection. There is so much to love about this anthology, from being based on a favourite classic- the authors also give us so many genres to enjoy: everything from romance, erotica, BDSM, reverse harem, fantasy, paranormal, psychological, post -apocalyptic, and even a little horror- just to keep things interesting. There is definitely something here to suit everyone. So, do yourself a favour, grab a copy and dive in. The stories and authors are:
– Ruby By: Autumn Sand – Finding Red By: Natalie-Nicole Bates – Cloaked By: Lia Fairchild – The Wolves Den By: Laci Page – Falling For The Hood: A Fairy Tale Retold By: Amy Allen – Redd’s Wolves By: D.A Stein – Little Red’s: A Red Riding Hood Short Story By: Darlene Tallman – River Runs Red By: Kay Elle Parker – Magic of Merlot By: Lorah Jaiyn – Redbourne By: Natalia Schellhaas – Brother Wolfe By: Ceecee Elaine – Waking Red By: Jess Bagnall
The book and stories pulled me in right from the beginning and kept me entertained the whole way through. I kept turning the pages to discover what new situation, genre and characters I would discover next. There were so many varied characters in this anthology- from a cancer survivor, to various shifters, MC bikers, hunters, an actress, Witches, and a wildlife officer, just to name a few. Some of these authors I know and love, while others are ‘new to me’- which is exciting to find more books and authors to add to my TBR. If you love the classic “Red Riding Hood” and enjoy a variety of genres and some really well written stories with interesting characters- then this is definitely the book for you!
I give Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology, 5 stars.
This is a such a great anthology! Most of the authors were new to me, however I did recognize a few that I have read before. I was oh so pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed each and every one of them. Of course, I did have some that I like more than others, but that goes for any anthology really. Another huge plus, the variety. Even books in the same genre were different from each other. To me, that makes a fantastic book even better. The only thing each of them had in common was the theme.
The stories are well written and so entertaining — they are obviously written by some wonderful authors. If you like fairytales but want something more adult and different, I highly recommend this collection.
This was a great story. The heroine Ruby was a nice normal person feelings and problems. This story was great for anyone who has a physical or emotional problem because it gives the hope that love is possible. Autumn Sand wrote a lovely story and she has a bright future. I look forward to reading more. The other stories in this anthology are good as well. Some of them are not for the faint of heart. Read and enjoy
Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology 4 Stars
I love fairytales! The interesting thing about this anthology is that the authors wrote about Little Red Riding Hood but put their own twists on the story. Each is a love story varying from tame to XXX. There is something for everyone.
Ruby – Autumn Sand
I loved this story! Ruby lost a part of herself and then her husband left her. Her self confidence was at an all time low then Mr. Wolf came into her life and made her feel whole again. The author did an excellent job of expressing how Ruby felt. I went through a range of emotions as if I went through it myself.
Cloaked – Lia Fairchild
This story was a little more cloak and dagger. After Eva’s parents were murdered, she stayed under the radar for years searching for her grandfather. Tracking him down put her life in danger. She meets Luke and the chemistry is instantaneous. Can Luke be her saviour or will he be her downfall? The story is filled with danger, drama and love.
The Wolves Den – Laci Page
This was another favorite of mine. This story was so hot, it was sizzling. You step into the world of BDSM. Marissa likes things a little kinky and her friend sets her up on a blind date. It’s a costume/ BDSM party. She’s not sure until she meets her drool worth date. Dressed as Little Red Riding Hood and armed with her safeword, Marissa is ready. What happens next is the sexiest, mind blowing, orgasmic experience of her life. A must read!
Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) is a multi-genre anthology with stories which are either from the romance, erotica and BDSM, fantasy and paranormal romance or horror genre by 12 different favourite authors. Each short story is a retelling of Red Riding Hood, as has never been told before! I particularly liked the first story in the book, Ruby by Autumn Sand, in this romance story Ruby who is currently in the middle of finalising her divorce to her younger husband who has run off with a women who is more his age and who is pregnant meets the ‘Wolf of Europe’. Count Edric Moreau of Paris, is a notorious handsome ‘rake’ known to seduce wealthy men’s wife’s but has also taken over as chairman of an important organisation and Ruby is tasked with interviewing him for Vogue. Still recovering from breast cancer, chemotherapy and a mastectomy whilst waiting for reconstructive surgery, Ruby is feeling bruised and low in self esteem and so she is keeping it strictly professional but Edric has more romantic plans in mind. I loved this story, which had great characters and a lovely storyline. The other story which stood out was by Lia Fairchild, Cloaked. Also a romance which features Eva Chacon, however she is calling herself Vanessa as she is working in Oakdale, a senior living facility and is looking for her grandfather who is also going by a different name. Whilst at the facility she meets Luke and the two date although Vanessa remains suspicious as per her Aunt Nora’s teachings. We learn that Vanessa is in fact part of a known crime family and is living undercover as she is at risk from a rival family. This is a fast paced story which is part romance and part thriller, sadly Luke is also not who he appears to be and it leads to a dramatic conclusion, but do Eva and Luke end up together, no spoilers! Other stories which stood out were Darlene Tallman’s fantasy and paranormal story, Little Red’s where a young girl meets her sexy new boss but after a violent encounter at a bar brawl she soon learns that wolf shifters are very real and that ‘mates’ are for life. D.A.Stein’s, Redd’s wolves is an exciting reverse harem retelling of Little Red Riding Hood featuring an innocent girl living with her Granny in the woods, three sexy wolf shifters and a motorcycle gang, all of which kept me turning the pages. I enjoyed this anthology of short stories as each one was very different making this an exciting book as a whole. Each story although short was packed full of great characters, adventure, and interesting plot lines. I have been introduced to new authors and enjoyed stories from ones I already love, I recommend this book as a good read.

I enjoyed watching every story unfold in different ways in a unique perspective of the Red Riding Hood. Each story has its own twists full of mystery or romance or unexpected twists and turns leaving you clinging for an unpredictable ride down the rabbit hole. Reading these are worth the read to keep you entertained for chapters and chapters of fun. Pick up this book and you might re-read it just for the hell of it.
Red Riding Hood (Down the rabbit hole) Anthology this book is made up of stories from 12 different authors. Book read- Ruby by Autumn Sands this is a 3.5 star read. Ruby is a writer and six years ago married the love of her life, a man who was 20 years younger than her. Now Ruby has fought breast cancer and won, she is now waiting on reconstruction, but her marriage is heading for divorce, her husband has left her for another woman who is pregnant with his child. Count Eric Moreau has recently lost his father and his brother so instead of living his life the way he planned he is now head of Moreau International. He also has the nickname the Wolf of Europe because of his reputation. These two people meet and although there shouldn’t be anything there there is a connection. This was a short story it had a great ending but I wished it was longer.

What a great collection of stories all retelling the story of Red Riding Hood.
One of my favourites is by Autumn Sand. Her story follows a woman called Ruby who finds out her husband is leaving her for another woman while she is battling cancer.
With her husband gone she feels worthless and unattractive after having surgery to remove her breasts but how wrong she is.
Someone has their eyes on her and will stop at nothing to get her. With big eyes and big teeth the Wolf for Europe is ready to devour her and bring her back to life
Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology was amazing. There was a short story for every reader. I loved the variety and also that it was a different twist on the idea of Red Riding Hood. I had a difficult time picking my favorite story. Several O enjoyed included Cloaked by Lia Fairchild, Ruby by Autumn Sand, and Redd’s Wolves by D. A. Stein. Each story had amazing and interesting characters. I found it easy to relate to the main character Vanessa/Eva in Cloaked since I have worked in a similar setting she was in. This book was a wonderful collection and I can definitely see myself rereading several of these stories. I highly recommend it.
I was so stinking excited when this book started to trickle its way into my news-feed. I am a sucker for the classic stories that we have loved from childhood getting new spins with an adult twist or two. I have such a hard time telling myself no and usually end up buying these types of novels without knowing any details other than the premise of fairy tales re imagined. This anthology did not disappoint and I have a feeling this will be one I find myself rereading several times in the future. I loved that as much as I knew some awesome authors featured like Autumn Sand, but I also got to meet some new ones to follow. I will keep the review simple with a little bit about Autumn Sands Ruby.
Ruby by Autumn Sand: This book was just as fabulous as I had hoped that it would be and more. We get the retelling of sorts of Red Riding Hood. This book will keep you enthralled and hooked with the romance and sensuality that is heavily laced throughout. I was completely enthralled to see what would happen with her and the tempestuous man she stumbles across.
The rest of the included authors that I at least want to mention their names for now are… Amy Allen, CeeCee Elaine, DA Stein, Darlene Tallman, Jess Bagnall, Kay Elle Parker, Laci Page, Lia Fairchild, and Lorah Jaiyn.
I absolutely can guarantee if it is a classic/fairy tale reimagining I will likely snatch it up to add to my library. And I couldn’t wait to get this anthology in my hands.
I’m so thankful I did and enjoyed every single page. One of my favorites from the pack was the story from Autumn Sand. Just a fantastic, complex reimagining of a classic character and storyline.
If you love classic tales told in a twisted way, pick this up immediately.
Irresistible Valentine is the third instalment in the Irresistible Romance Anthology series. It is a fantastic collection of stories from nine very talented, best-selling, and award-winning authors. The stories were so romantic and very enjoyable- each one individual to its author- but all revolve around the same theme- which is “Irresistible Valentine”- celebrating everything we love about romance. The stories range from delightful and sweet, to spicy and suspenseful. With plenty to capture and hold your attention, the stories are:
Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance By: Tamara Ferguson Meet Eve Loughlin and Harry Giordano who have both overcome adversity. These two have a connection that cemented from the moment they met. But life takes them in different directions, tearing them apart. Will love find a way to bring them back together again? Tamara Ferguson delivers yet another wonderful story- packing a lot into a small package and delivering a romantic and captivating read.
Cupid’s Quest (Paradise Place) By: Natalie Ann Two damaged souls finding each other. She’s walked away from her past and built a life for herself, becoming a successful realtor. His past experience brought him so much heartache, grief, fear, and loneliness- which inevitably led him to becoming a police investigator. What happens when she becomes his realtor? This is well worth the read to find out! Will Cupid find a way to their hearts? Such a great read and definitely one of my favourites of this collection.
A Little Change of Plans (The Saints of San Diego) By: Suzanne Jenkins I love the Saint’s, so getting to read another story in the series is always a winner in my eyes. This follows second youngest brother, Jake Saint- and I loved following along for the ride. He and Geri were so great together- and the clever way Ms. Jenkins wove her story certainly had me hook, line and sinker! Sublime!
All Night Long (Kiss the Bride Book 2) By: Cynthia Cooke A wonderful ‘fake fiancé’ romance, with lots of snow, a picturesque ski village, a loveable Saint Bernard, a snowy rescue, and plenty of fun- making this a memorable read. Beau hatches a plan to secure his future- he just needs a ‘fiancée’ to seal the deal- and he think Phoebe is just the right girl to pull it off. A funny, light-hearted, and engaging story. So much fun to read.
Never Lovers (The Rocklyns) By: Alicia Street A bit of a “Runaway Bride” vibe to this story- with a bit of a twist. Emotive and very romantic- true love always finds a way! A great little read!
The Player (Men of Warhawks Book 2) By: Jacquie Biggar This is about finding love unexpectedly. When a crazy, stalker ex gets Roy sidelined from his beloved NHL- the only way to get back in the game is to allow sexy PA, Patience Kennedy, to help. With her PR know-how she’ll have him back in the game in no time. Right? I really loved this story- and would have loved an even longer version of it, so I could really immerse myself in the story. I can always count on Ms. Biggar to deliver the goods!
Unexpected Packages (The Unexpected Series Book 1) By: Stacy Eaton After a parcel mix up brings Alex to Lexi’s doorstep- things are about to get interesting! This one snuck under my skin much more than I had anticipated. I loved how well this was written, and the wonderful ‘feel-good’ vibe that I got from the story. The characters were very endearing- and I would love to read more of their story
First Class Flirtation By: Susan Jean Ricci Melissa had been looking forward to having some extra room on her first class flight. But her plans go awry when she’s forced to share her seats with a complete stranger, a grouchy one at that. But it doesn’t take long for chemistry to bubble, and sparks fly. But things are about to get quite complicated- what does the future hold for these two? Will love find a way?
Serendipity Falls By: Patrice Wilton This is the first book in a new romantic comedy series- and if this story is anything to go by, the series is set to be great! What happens when a pastry chef and an Olympic Skier connect in the romantic, small town of Serendipity? You really should read this enjoyable story and find out for yourself! It’s well worth your time!
A collection of 12 Authors retelling of Red Riding Hood. I will list a couple of my favourite short story’s for this collection:
Ruby by Autumn Sand. Ruby is a writer and this story starts as she is dealt devastating news. We then jump forward a couple of years and things are still looking very bleak for Ruby. She’s asked to interview Count Edric Moreau of Paris, France, also know as The Wolf Of Europe, his reputation precedes him. Edric makes Ruby believe in herself again, something she’s not been able to do for a very long time. Mrs Sands wrote these two characters perfectly they draw you in and leaves you wanting more. I really enjoyed reading this story.
River Runs Red by Kay Elle Parker. Daughter of a Huntress. Offspring of a wolf. Armed with a red cape, a wicker basket, and a knife, River must make it through the wolf-riddled forest…but not everything is as it seems, and trusting the wrong people could get her into trouble. Having left her fathers pack 13 years ago, vowing never to return, River has to visit her dying paternal Grandmother. I read this story in no time at all, the pages just kept flowing I was gripped from the start and wish there was more to this story. Such a good read. Thank you.
Red Riding Hood (Down The Rabbit Hole) is an anthology by a selection of brilliant authors. They have written a collection of amazing stories, all different versions of a well known classic. This is the first time I have ever read a collection like this – effectively the same story told in multiple different ways. I honestly didn’t expect to like it at all, there are only so many times you can read the same story after-all. And yet each of these books were so unique that I enjoyed every single one of them. I had read most of these authors before but it was nice to discover a couple of new ones. I very much enjoyed this anthology and can’t wait to read more of their individual works.
Irresistible Valentine is a great anthology of 8 romantic stories from 9 different authors. I am not going to review all 8 stories but have chosen 2 to focus on. My review will be of Two Hearts Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson and The Player by Jacquie Biggar. Both are authors that I have read before and these were the 2 stories that I was most looking forward to reading. Two Hearts Reconnaissance is set in Dragonfly Pointe, the location of many other novels by Tamara Ferguson and brings back some characters from other stories. This was a heartbreaking story which explores child abuse and child trafficking. I was totally gripped to the story of Harry Giordano and Eve Loughlin both of whom have had terrible childhoods in various foster homes. Eve has now reconciled with her birth mother and Harry (and his foster sister Amy) have been taken in by Gabe and Lucy Giordano. This story takes you from their first meeting at age 13 to them meeting again as adults and a lot in between. Although not a full length novel, Tamara Ferguson packs so much into this story. The Player by Jacquie Biggar is set in the ice hockey world. Star player Roy is being hounded by a crazy ex-girlfriend who is spreading lies about him and it’s affecting his career. Enter PR woman Patience who is hired to improve his public persona. This is a great story which will have you laughing at the antics of Roy and Patience. Roy does everything he can to annoy and rile Patience and she just falls into his trap everytime. Can she help fix his career or will the crazy ex get her way?
This is a great collection of short stories written by some great authors. Each author has written their version of Red Riding Hood. Each one is different, each one will have you turning pages fast. My favorite is by Autumn Sand – Ruby. This is a creative story about hope, love, betrayal and second chances. I won’t say too much other than it was an awesome story. What happens when you lose everything only to have something so much stronger come into your life? I highly recommend this anthology, it was worth picking it up. I found some new authors as well as a few favorites and I think you will too.
Red Riding Hood (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology by Autumn Sand (Author), Amy Allen (Author), CeeCee Elaine (Author), D.A. Stein (Author), Darlene Tallman (Author), Jess Bagnall (Author), Kay Elle Parker (Author), Laci Paige (Author), Lia Fairchild (Author), Lorah Jaiyn (Author) 5 out of 5 stars
I truly enjoyed these stories which are based on Red Riding Hood. They pull you in and I found myself not wanting the put them down. I love anthologies as I have a chance to read stories by authors I am familiar with, but also new authors as well. Some stories are steamy and others romantic. They didn’t disappoint and I would recommend reading this anthology. There is one story that I found myself falling in love not only with the story but the characters as well. It is:
Ruby Autumn Sand 5 out of 5 stars
I absolutely loved reading this version of Red Riding Hood. The story is romantic and sensual. It is a story that had me hooked from the first chapter to the last. I loved the character of Ruby. She is a woman who is dealing with a lot in her life. Will the man that she meets help her? Read the story to find out. The story is about temptation, seduction, and looking inside yourself.
