This book was provided by the Author through the PaC Romance group in exchange for an honest review.Wow, was this book ever hot & steamy! Multiple sex scenes throughout the book with a hot alpha male and our strong willed heroine. Definitely an adult novel. As for plot, I found it intriguing. I love a dark fairy tale written for adults & this had shades of that. It was loosely based on Red Riding Hood and her Huntsman. However, those two characters and the name of the military operation (WOLF) were the only real resemblances to the folk tale. The story is based in an apocalyptic future with a zombie outbreak and two settlements trying to survive, one a militant compound of women and the other what's left of the government in Washington, D.C. Red's grandmother is horrifying as the head of the WITCH compound. The story follows Scarlet "Red" Ryding as she travels the wastelands beyond the compound's walls where she meets Marcus Huntsman. They fall in love and lust and the story comes down to Marcus and his soldiers trying to help Scarlet take down her grandmother's rein. Very thrilling, very hot. The story pulled me in and I finished it quickly. The characters have their virtues and their faults which make them believable. I liked that even though our male hero was very strong and demanding, our heroine was equally so, despite her inexperience in love. They made a good match. I would recommend this book to any lovers of erotic or apocalyptic fiction, or dark erotic fairy tales.Thank you, Tara. I enjoyed the read.
