Little Red Riding Hood

The GriMM Tales

De: T J Rose

Narrado por: Simon Dornet

Getting eaten by a wolf wasn't exactly what Red had in mind when he finally escaped the palace walls.

Abandoned as a babe and raised in The Queen's court, Red has always been an outsider. When he ventures towards the Dark Forest on an important quest to save his kingdom from the grips of a cruel famine, the last thing he needs is a massive grey wolf stalking him. A wolf who makes it clear that Red looks like a very tasty snack.

Wilhelm "Wim" Hoffmann is dangerous, infuriating, and absolutely not to be trusted—no matter how his deep voice makes Red's traitorous heart stutter. If only Wim wasn't devastatingly handsome, if only he didn't cook up such sumptuous meals and use his superior body heat to keep Red warm at night . . . Then Red might remember that wolves aren't supposed to be trusted, especially ones with secrets as dark as the forest itself.

But Red knows better than to fall for a wild creature's charms . . . Right?

Surviving these treacherous woods—where slave traders and bandits lurk around every corner—will require more than just an uneasy alliance. As their bond deepens, Red begins to wonder if being devoured by a big bad wolf might not be so bad after all . . .

Such A Delight

I was so surprised at this book. It came up on some FB pages and I took a chance and I am so thankful I did.

First off, Simon Dorney was AMAZING as the narrator. He is new to me and I loved him. I loved how Red and Wim's voices were done. Especially Wim as the wolf. It got under your skin in a good way. The way he says "sweetheart" is chefs kiss.

This story was a nice take on the Grimm Tales but done as MM. I actually prefer this version.

Red is an orphan living with a Queen who mocks him and loves to tell him that he is unnatural because of his eye color. He lives in the attic of the palace and has Auntie A, who looks after him. He is eventually trained by the huntsman and later sent out on a quest to find the witch Old Oma and kill her with a golden arrow. Along the way he runs into a wolf named Wim who strikes up a friendship and they find out they are going in the same direction so they decide to travel together, Wim has a curse on him and has a violent wolf at times and says there is a cure in the dark forest. Red seems to have the power to tame the violent wolf but not entirely.

Red is snarky, feisty and a little bundle of fire. He is wary of this gorgeous wolf who loves to call him sweetheart to torment him. But Red is lonely and so is Wim. Their mutual attraction gets the best of them and they eventually get together.

Reaching the dark forest and Old Oma's house is not all it seems to be and there is a huge discovery and loss there. Red finds about his parents and the Queen. Wim finds out about the Soul Eater who cursed him and it's not what you expect.

Red and Wim do get their HEA and thank goodness. They are now 2 of my favorite MC's.

This story is a delight filled with laughter, love, adventure and found family. A must read.

Two of my favorite quotes in the book besides Wim calling Red "Sweetheart"
"My God. Does It Have To Be So Big" and "Why Didn't You Warn Me It Came With Accessories".

Very sweet new take on a classic tale

Don't think too deeply and just enjoy a cozy m/m love story with elements from several fairytales. The narration is absolutely perfect, I was really impressed.
