Little Red and the Wolf by Alison Page
From Goodreads:
Maizie Hood struggles to keep her bakery turning a profit, her landlord from evicting her, and her dear Granny in a nursing facility. Wrestling with the decision to sell Gran’s cottage is hard enough. The last thing she needs is her childhood big-bad-wolf nightmares turning into real-life adult fantasies. Sexy businessman Gray Lupo’s sudden interest just makes matters worse. Is he the answer to her problems, or just a wolf in gentleman’s Armani?
Since his wife was killed twenty-one years ago, Gray’s life has been focused on two things: protecting the pack and avoiding the grown daughter of his wife’s killers. When it becomes clear he can’t do one without compromising the other, Gray finds playing “big bad wolf” to Maizie Hood’s “Little Red” is a role he enjoys far more than he expected.
A real bad wolf’s attack on Maizie changes everything. Gray can’t deny the pull she has on his instincts—and his heart. Suddenly he finds himself taking on a role he never thought he’d want, as her protector and mate. Until the truth about his connection to her nightmarish past comes to light…

Loved your article. I'm stealing your wishlist and adding these two novels to my list as well :-)
ReplyDeleteWithout reading what it's about - I just want Little Red solely for the striking cover.
ReplyDeleteIf you steal it and read it... pass it to me! ;) lol
ReplyDelete@StephanieD... I know, and then her humor from the author was like it was calorie free made me laugh, so I thought this one might be good. :)
Is Steel the second book in the series? Or is it a new one? I was wondering if it went with Vaughn's other book... I can't remember the name at the moment, but I have it on my want list.
ReplyDeleteAnd the cover for Little Red and The Wolf. I love that cover! Hope you enjoy them if you get them. :)
It's a new one. Are you thinking of Discord's Apple? Both I think are stand alones.
ReplyDeleteWell, it got to me so I had to go find the title of the book I was thinking of. I could see the cover plan as day but couldn't think of the name. I was thinking of Voices of Dragons. But it is of a different girl. Some thing about this cover here struck me with Voices of Dragons, but they are separate. :)
