Rating: 5 out of 5

My Review of Book ONE:I wasn't sure what to expect with Red & Wolfe: PART ONEA few weeks ago I tried to pick up a boxed romance set that was based upon fairy tales and I couldn't get past the first few chapters. So I went into this short serial with low hopes.I should ALSO mention that I didn't realize the writer of this, Red & Wolfe, was Ella James as in THE Ella James that wrote Selling Scarlett, a book I read and enjoyed immensely over 13 months ago.I found this book as a "steamy" recommendation by a book club I subscribe to on Facebook.From page one I was immediately hooked on Ella's writing style. Actually from the first few sentences I was hooked (Check out the opening page where Red attempts to write letters to her grandma, I loved it).I know a few people mentioned the story line stunk in Book One but I actually enjoyed it. The idea of Red getting lured to the island where her grandmother supposedly lives. I was very interested in finding out what happened, but it was light enough material that I didn't feel overwhelmed in the plot.I was a little disappointed in Red & Wolfe's immediate attraction to each other... I do enjoy myself a big build up... but I can easily overlook it because Wolfe is just too hot and sexy.There is only one sex scene in Book One and on a sex-o-meter of 1-5 I'd really only rate it a 3.5 at best. It's good and a little bit dirty, but it doesn't push my boundaries or anything. But the one thing that had me salivating at downloading Book Two was the POTENTIAL of this story line and these characters. Plus, Wolfe has got a dirty, filthy brain... and I just *knew* that things were going to get better.********************************Red & Wolfe, Part IIWhat Part One lacks, Part Two makes up for IMMEDIATELY. Part Two Sex-O-Meter rating is a firey 5 out of 5!If in any erotic novel within the first 3 pages there is mention of an "enormous, vein-striped, purple-headed f&%# machine." then well, I'm hooked. (So maybe out of context that sounds super weird, but you need to read it to feel it.)We get even more story line in Part Two and it really goes hand in hand with the sex. Reminder: This is an EROTIC Fairy Tale, as the title suggests, so you won't be getting an overwhelming amount of story. But I feel Ella really does a wonderful job making sure they balance out.We get another racey sex scene (and this one actually pushes my boundaries a little bit) before we get a cliff hanger to end all cliff hangers. But, come on nay-sayers... you know you want to know what happens...
