Synopsis
MF/MFM/
Paranormal Shifter/ Erotic Romance
“So you think you know the story of Little
Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf? Think again—”
Raina grew
up with the faint memories of her grandmother’s fairytales. Tales that told her
she was a part of something far greater than her lonely nomadic life gave
existence to. But, when she finds she’s been among the one thing she desired
most, can she let go of her more human-raising to submit to it?
Tristan has
had a wild hunger for the saucy minx ever since she started working at the Hell
hound Tavern. When a close call with a rival pack meant risking exposing the
beast he was to Raina, he wasn’t expecting her to submit to the beast as his
mate. As the Beta to the pack Alpha, Tristan can’t keep a mate to himself, but
the secret she holds says otherwise.
However,
keeping a Lycaon Concubine might mean leaving the pack in order to protect his
Alpha, who’s status has kept a pack, 500 strong, safe for generations.

EXCERPT:
“Got a penny?” Raina asked pointing to
the fountain ahead of them.
Tristan gave her a skeptical glance,
while he fished through his pocket for a penny, “You really want to make a
wish?”
“Oh, yeah.” She gave him a daringly
sultry look, “I’m thinking I do.”
Tristan blinked heavily at her, taking
notice of her dark expression and tone. He passed the penny to her hand, “Okay,
but so’s you know, you're scaring
me.”
Raina stepped up to the fountain and
closed her eyes for a moment.
Tristan watched the almost dreamy
expression on her face. Damn, she looked good under the moon. He’d been falling
for her for some time now, but watching her now, he believed he was helplessly
captured.
Her hand went up, tossing the coin
into the water with a slight plunk
sound. She watched the ripple spread out on the water’s surface a moment taking
a deep and fitful breath before turning to face him. Seemingly waiting for
something.
“So what did you wish for?”
Raina rolled her lips in a nervous
gesture, stepping closer, “A kiss.” And she pushed up on her toes, bringing her
lips to his.
The first touch was light as a
feather, like the kiss of a ghost and he found himself haunted by his wanting
of it. He leaned down to her, cautiously allowing the contact of her soft lips.
Soft and tender as she pressed against his and he felt a tender warmth flow
through him.
Her lips parted, but only enough to
allow him a taste of her breath— like the morning dew she was, and it
was gone. His breath caught in his throat watching her step back. His head
swayed, surprising him. No way a single kiss should feel so sensual, but it
did. His breath deepening, his hand fumbling through his pockets and procured a
handful of coins, which he held them out to her with a boyish grin.
Raina laughed, she wasn’t fooled by
that look. For all his intentions of looking innocent just made him look all
the more like a sexy bad boy. He reminded her of one the actors from that old
80’s movie, Lost Boys, the vampire
bad boy with long black hair and just as drool worthy. Or perhaps, maybe more,
because Tristan had one hell of a body hiding under his shirt.
“I think I got a fifty in my wallet.
Will paper money work in the fountain as well?” He joked, then again, he’d
offer damn near anything to feel that kiss again.
“Gee, I don’t know.” She toed the
ground in front of her, “I mean, I’m concerned I might be hurting someone
else’s feelings if I accept.”
“What do you mean?” This wasn’t good.
Why would she dare to kiss him if she was involved with someone else? But that
didn’t make any sense either; he’d worked with her enough days of the week to
know she didn’t have a boyfriend or lover of any sort. He’d watched her too
often to not know.
“Well, there’s this barback I work
with and he’s pretty hot, except he wears these crazy—”
Tristan’s mouth was over hers before
she could finish her sentence. The coins in his hand spilling to the ground around
their feet as he reached around to her back to pull her to him.
His tongue parting her lips to open up
for him, letting him into the warm cavern of her mouth. The taste of hot, sweet
honey awaited him, drew him to probe deeper, his tongue tangling with hers. He
had often fantasized what it would feel like to kiss her, to taste her, but he
had not dreamed it would be like this. From the moment his lips took hers, he
was lost in her. Pleasure spiraled around his nerves, hunger wrapping around
him, it emanated from her and licked his body with burning flames.
God,
her kiss was good. And he needed to have more of it.
He stepped into her, forcing her to
walk back, pushing her towards the garden wall that circled around the
fountain, his hands moving around to grasp her hips and lifted her up on the
wall. He pressed between her legs and she broke away from his kiss, gasping
with ragged breaths that fought for air. His own lungs heaving in his chest. He
was already regretting the loss of her lips. A firm hand clasping around behind
her neck to pull her back to him, connecting with her, pressing his forehead to
hers. He would give her only a moment longer— a flicker
of time to catch her breath.
“So how many coins was that, you had?”
She managed to ask through her panting.
“Oh hell, I got a whole jar full at
home I plan to use up.” He pulled her back to him. If she had regained her
breath enough to talk, then she could take his kiss again.
My Review: 3 1/2 stars
There's no doubt this was a good read. I loved the lore that the authors wove into their story, changing the Little Red Riding Hood mythos just enough. I liked Raina and Tristan, and thought that their chemistry was fantastic. I wish they would have brought Vashon into the story sooner and that would have made a difference to me. For me, he was a peripheral person, until the end, and that made things kind of awkward. Steamy, yes, but still awkward. I also think the story could have gone on a bit longer, but that's me. I understand the reasoning for bringing Vashon into the situation due to the pack laws, but would have appreciated more interaction between him and Raina. All in all, a good story that moved along quickly and had plenty of action.
