“Note from publisher: A version of this book was previously published as A Curse of Blood and Wolves. This book has been rewritten and edited again, however some character names and plot points do remain the same as the original story.”
I was sent a galley copy from the publisher for A Curse of Blood and Wolves. I did post a review about it. I have since re-read this and absolutely enjoyed this version and hope you will too.
You can read my previous review here
Big Bad Wolf by Laurie Gilmore is a Romantasy Little Red Riding Hood retelling. This captivating, on-the-edge of your seat adventure is a must read. It’s time to head to Maple Woods and uncover secrets, werewolves, seers, and witches. Discard what you know about the fairy tales and discover the truth.
Tropes:
๐ Small Town
๐ Fated Mates
๐ Grumpy MMC
๐ Forced Proximity
๐ Found Family
ย
Ruby has always been protective of her sister, felt different, and struggled to find answers to what has been happening.ย When a handsome stranger shows up in Maple Hollow will she finally get the clarity she’s been searching for?
Rafe left his family and the world he knew but is still haunted by the decision he mad that day all those years ago. One moment changed his life and ever since then he’s lived alone afraid to get too close to anyone. Will he risk everything when he meets Ruby?
Rafe and Ruby will be tested and challenged as they uncover secrets. When Ruby finds out the real reason he blew into town will she still desire him? Is he really the big, bad wolf he was raised to become?
The only thing that matters is protecting those you love and these two will have a fight ahead of them. But first, they’ll need to convince themselves that what is happening…is real.
If you are in the mood for a slow-burn romantasy that scorches…you won’t want to miss this!
I can’t wait to read the second book in this series….especially with that ending!!!
Always honest, always my own. Thankful to Harper 360 for an advance e-arc.
