Description
Little Red Riding Hood is all grown up. And the wolf doesn’t scare her at all.
Rosalind is an outcast in her own town. Known as Ruby for the birthmark on her neck, it is believed she was touched by death during birth. But she doesn’t care. She’s led a happy life with the support and tutelage of the village wise woman and the loving attention of her stepbrother, Rafe.
Of course, now that she’s older, she is secretly and passionately drawn to Rafe in a not so sisterly way. And Rafe has secrets of his own.
For Rafe, the full moon means three nights as a wolf, a freedom and form he loves. However, as he accepts his desire to devour Ruby when he’s in his human form, he leaves to protect them both.
Now he’s back, and not only does he intend to change his relationship with Ruby, but a hunter is following him. Ruby and Rafe have to put an end to the threat that wants them both dead before they can live their happy ending.

this is not my usual genre but as it is a short novella I thought I would give it a go as it was an arc from netgalley. it is a short novella following a girl for Rosalind and her step brother who is a werewolf. I thought the story was well written and flowed nicley
This is an entertaining fast paced novella, a twist on Little Red Riding Hood. Rosalind is an outcast in her village and taken in by the old wise woman and her now stepbrother Rafe. As Rosalind grows she begin to have feelings for Rafe and not ones of sisterly affection. Rafe has some secrets of his own. Will Red get the big bad wolf she wants? I really liked it, an entertaining, fun read.
** spoiler alert ** Thank you to Netgalley for the chance to read this for a honest review
I was hooked from the first page & the fact that it was loosely based around a fairy tale, even better.
The characters are strong & don't come across as a push over. I love the relationship between Ruby & Grandma Mechi its my favourite in the book. As for Rafe, well my imagination runs away with him!!
I did start reading this book late one night & ended up staying up until the early hours, because I couldn't put it down!
Very good read... It kept my attention and wasn't too predictable... All in all I would recommend this book to other readers
I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. Loved a different spin an old fairy tale. Ruby and Rafe's love story is well written and somewhat erotic. It is a good book and I would recommend thus quick read.
I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley this is a honest review. This book is a rework of a classic fairytale Little Red Ridding Hood. The author did not flow the normal story line but added their own spin making the wolf a werewolf and also Ruby's step-sibling. The story line was written well and was quite interesting. I would recommend this to others if they wanted a quick read.
What can I say? I like fairy tales. And when they get a hot and steamy twist: I'm not complaining...
We meet Rosalind, aka Ruby (named after the birthmark on her neck), who lives with her grandmother and her stepbrother Rafe. While growing up, Rafe was her best friend. But then he left and Ruby missed him a lot.
And now he is back. But Ruby has grown into a wonderful and sensual young woman. So, Rafe can't take his eyes (and hands) of his now-not-so-little stepsister. Fortunately for him the attraction is mutual. However, they will not get their happy ending that easily. Because there is still the fact that Rafe gets kind of hairy a few days per month. And what to think of that big black wolf, which is seen by the villagers?
A short and happy novel. Three out of five stars for me. Hopefully the next parts are a bit longer, so I can enjoy it even longer.
Red Riding Hood with a twist. Ruby grew up with a birthmark that made some of the villagers fear her as they believed she was cursed. Rafe is her step brother that has his own curse. This is a well written twist of Red Riding Hood told mostly from Ruby’s viewpoint with Rafe’s mixed in. I liked how the author took the idea of werewolves and gave it a spin. I would look for more books by this author as this one pulled me in till the end. I was given a copy of this story by NetGalley for an honest review.
