A collection of
six wickedly twisted tales from classic fairy tales by six of today’s hottest
authors.
To Steal a Prince’s Heart by Cassidy K. O’Connor is a
twist on the fairy tale Robin
Hood.
No self-respecting girl
starts out wanting to be a thief but that’s what happens when war takes the
King and all able bodied men off to war. Robin Hood and her merry band of women
steal to feed their village, she never expected the Prince to steal her heart.
When her true identity is revealed will the Prince stand by her or will she be
forced to rescue herself?
Celia’s Connection by Gracen Miller is
a twist on the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Celia Goldilocks just
wants to live her life in peace, but when her past comes calling, her life is
upended. With a bounty on her head, she escapes to a cabin owned by three bear
shifters. Unfortunately, they’re her father’s biggest enemy, but can they be
her salvation instead?
The Brothers Ménage by Louisa Bacio is a
twist on the fairy tale Two Brothers
Who says all fairytale
princesses are cursed?
As time runs out, the
brothers from the wrong side of the tracks must weigh if a lifetime with Daphne
is worth sharing their own secret, and if it’ll make a difference.
Bearskin by A. D. Roland is a twist on the fairy tale Bearskin
A dirty hobo who claims
he’s wearing the Devil’s magic jacket befriends a slightly skeptical nurse. Can
he convince her he's telling the truth in time for her to break the curse?
The race is on. A jealous
fairy has put a curse on Peter Pan, and it's up to Captain James Hook and his
crew to follow the clues and save him before time runs out, or he'll be gone
for good. If she can't have him, no one will. Can James and Peter have their
Happily Ever After?
His Big Bad Wolf by
Lia Davis is a twist on the fairy tale The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Neal turns to Shannon for
help to track down the rogue wolf, but working together stirs emotions neither
of them expected, and a fiery passion that makes it impossible for them to stay
away from each other. But is Neal ready to learn all of Shannon’s secrets?
As with any anthology, some stories will be appreciated more than others.
These are indeed VERY adult tales based on but oh so twisted from classic tales.
The collection begins strongly with Bearskin by A.D. Roland. It is a deeply human emotional story about a troubled war vet and a deal he makes with the devil.
Things turn more strange and twisted when we read about the true relationship between Peter Pan and Captain James Hook in Pan's Curse by Sheri Lyn. We all knew Tink was the jealous type, but had no idea of the power she wields.
To Steal A Prince's Heart by Cassidy O'Connor is a reversal of genders and roles of the Robin Hood Myth. This was another I enjoyed.
This Goldilocks is nothing like the demure little girl who gets lost in the forest. in Gracen Miller's Celia's Connection redneck werebears are both the enemy and the rescuers. Goldilocks adjusts to a different way of life, or is it the bears who must adjust?
More shifters are featured in His Big Bad Wolf by Lia Davis. The title gives you a clue. This happily ever after is longer than most.
The final story, The Brothers Ménage by Louisa Bacio, is about twin brothers who are very different but share everything. Also a lonely magical princess who gets bored very easily.
If you are not easily offended, have an open mind and are tolerant of adaptations far beyond classic fairy tale constraints, give this collection a try. I think you will be astounded by the creativity.
Warning: There may be a few triggers for very sensitive readers
