“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.

Lucky 22 by Ashley Eckstein and New York Times Best Selling Author Samantha Chaseย is a sweet romance inspired by a true story.
A captivating modern-day fairy tale shows us how powerful numbers can be, the importance of following your heart, and that when you find your person…you will know!
What will happen when an actress and an MLB Baseball player discover they have a connection that’s worth exploring?
Ella Rose Holt and Christian Lucas both believe in being true to themselves and each other.
Will they be able to spend time together away from the cameras, or will the pressure of their jobs leave them very little time?
All they need is a little luck and a sprinkle of fairy dust for their own magical moment on and off the field, and on the big screen!
From the stunning illustrated cover to the last page I loved this collaboration, the cute and subtle way they changed names and places, and the story…the love story.
If you love baseball, movies, magical moments, and a sweet love story you will want to grab a copy!
Always honest. Always my own. Thankful to Samantha Chase for a gifted galley copy.

There is nothing more enjoyable than narrators who makes it easy to follow because they deliver memorable moments with depth, emotion, and all the feels.

For hockey romance lovers who want to dive into a story that is set in the world of hockey but mostly off-ice.
The man behind the magic and what happens when his world shatters. Who will be the lucky woman to help him mend the pieces and see him for all that he is outside of the arena?
Be sure to have a box of tissues nearby. This definitely tugs at the heart.
