Publisher's Summary

What if Red Riding Hood didn't fall in love with one Big Bad Wolf, but three?   

I've been a city girl my entire life. But when my grandmother got sick, I didn't think twice before packing my bags and moving to Crimson Hollow, a small town in West Virginia. Two years later, I'm still here and finally adjusting to the quiet life.   

Only there's nothing ordinary about this town.   

A walk in the woods proved almost deadly and left me changed forever. I was attacked by a rogue wolf, and now, I belong to the Crimson Hollow pack. I'm a shifter.   

To make matters worse, my arrival in the pack created a rift among the wolves, making it impossible to tell friend from foe, including the three alpha's sons who have taken a keen interest in me. If dealing with all that wasn't enough, wolves are disappearing. We must discover who is behind it, or there won't be a pack left to fight over.  

Contains mature themes.

Great first book

This was a great first book. Nice spin on Fairy tale with an adult twist. FMC is strong & determine not to be pushed around. No sudden love or longing. Relationships develop at a good pace. I listened to book 1 during my commute but now I am going to read book two to see where this goes. I hate when half the series is in audiobook version. I prefer to listen as I drive. Overall I enjoyed the book.

Please put the second put out on audible!

Another fantasy/romance book that I can't get enough of! I totally fell in love with this book. The characters...I wish I knew them in real life. There is so much depth to the story that I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read more from the author and from this series in particular!

crazy

I loved it but the ending was very upsetting. I needed more, was waiting for more intense action to get to the end!

Great story

The performance by Virginia Rose was excellent in comparison to Tristan James. I really did not enjoy his monotone voice. It would have been perfect if not for him

Finally! A Paranormal RH Done Right!

Well, thank GEEZUS there's FINALLY an author out there who gets us! The character's world is neatly detailed and works well with this med-burn plot without taking over. My first positive RH review, and my first time looking forward to the next book in the series. Well done!

Not good

Just got stupid after a while and ended in a cliffhanger,so now I feel I have to suffer through another ridiculous book because I'm invested in it

Ahhh sexy shifters and a brewing mystery

I wanted to wait until all books were released in audio before I jumped into this series and the wait was killing me. I was very eager to finally start and book 1 didn’t disappoint! This story so far has everything a RH junkie loves. Hot shifter men - check. Brave likable heroine- check. Sexy times - check. Enemies & Allys -check. Mystery- check. It literally checks all the boxes. Can’t wait to start the next book!

Love It!

Love everything about book one and cant wait to start book two. The characters are great.

Terrible male narrator

Loved the story and the female narrator was great but the male narrator was terrible.

It's all right...to each their own

I had purchased this during the 50-70% off sale and I'm glad that it was one of the 70% books. Not completely worth it for a credit. I just couldn't take it seriously as a book because it needs content editing. It definitely has the potential to be damn good book, but something is missing. My mind blanked out for about half of the book since I couldn't connect with the story. In my opinion, a book should connect with its reader and put him/her in the story's setting, feeling the emotions of the characters. The bond amongst Red, Tristan, Dante, and Samuel seem separate, like the authors are still sticking to the monogamous mindset. I expected the chemistry to be close and the affection be warmer. To be close and warm doesn't mean to be entirely sexual. From the other reverse harem books I've read, the men's camaraderie is better than in this book.

I don't think the narrators were good for this book. Both of them sound like Patrick Warburton in different tones, especially Tristan James. They narrate well - clearly and naturally without over-enunciating - however I think they would do better for other books. Their emotions seemed forced half the time and weak. Virginia Rose seemed slightly better, but I've heard her do better.

I really wanted to like this book because of the general positive reviews, but I couldn't. Everything just seems amateur-ish. I'll exchange this book once it's done. If there's going to be a revised version, I'll definitely return to it.
