Alison Paige takes the classic "Little Red Riding Hood" and turns it into an erotic urban fairy tale with "Little Red and the Wolf." Red is actually Maizie Hood, owner of Red Hood Bakery. Wolf is Gray Lupo, a werewolf who owns a wildlife preserve that boarders Granny's land. He's also a successful businessman.The first time the two met was after a car accident where he saved Red's life but lost his wife. She was a little girl and from then on, Granny has kept her away from the woods. Seeing her would be too painful for wolf. Now that Granny's  health is failing, there's a threat and Red isn't sure she can trust the big bad wolf.As a fan of classics made into romance stories, this one appealed to me. The story as a whole was well done, but I had issues with the voices of Lupo and Chadwick. Neither sounded like Wall Street types and that's what they were--powerful businessmen. For this reason, I couldn't give the book a perfect rating.
