My inner little girl is excited at all of these Fairy Tales being retold in a very dirty way. I couldn't pick just one short to review because they are all amazing pieces of work. I will say I would kill to have every single book a full length novel. Just saying authors come on you give a little then take it away. I won't give away what Fairytale is which dirty Tale because i want you to figure it out.


The Savage Princess by Cheri Marie

   Fallyn is the chief of police daughter. Emilio is the Mob Boss's son. They shouldn't be seeing each other in secret but they can't help it. When another man tries to take what is Emilio's he will stop at nothing to protect what is his.

          Yes, what a way to start an anthology with a bang. Fallyn is such a strong woman and Emilio is perfect. I can totally see why they fell in love. Their dad's are a couple of men I wanted to kick them. This book was short but full of craziness and greatness.

      I loved this book. I went through an array of emotions with this short story. The title is perfect for this book. I loved all the mystery around this book and the characters.

I've read Sweet by Kelsey Jensen and it is AMAZING. It was such a neat take on Hansel and Gretel. The characters were wonderful, I love how she wrote the witch character! I was hooked from the start and was rooting for Hadley and Grant, it was suspenseful, sweet, and sexy. You definitely don't want to miss this one!
I'm working on the rest of it and can already tell I won't be disappointed
