Interesting

I loved it.It is a very interesting version of Red Riding Hood. If you like paranormal romance you will definitely like this. I do think this would be better if there was both male and female narrators, but the narrator does a good job.

Awesome

Great book, kept my attention all the way to the end, amazing audio delivery, loved it. Will be reading again, every chapter was received amazingly do recommend you give it a read.

Oh My Mister Wolfe!

Well hello mischievous Adrian Wolfe! Scarlett Duke doesn’t know what she’s about to get into. Such an awesome retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. The narration kept me interested and wanting more. Some funny/snarky moments that had me laughing. Mischievousness, secrets, spiciness, flattery and so much more. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author.

I really like this redo of Little Red Riding Hood.

I really enjoyed this version of "Little Red Riding Hood". Not only is it detailed to pull the listener in the narrator did a good job with the narration. It was fluid and not monotone. His slight accent was nice to listen to as well.

A great story

Nothing was as it seemed in Scarlets life. She was deceived by her grandmother that is for sure. Adrian was the best thing that could have happened to her. It was with his help that she found truth. The author did a great job. I also really enjoyed the narration.

A Favorite

Who doesn’t love a good Wolfe?

I couldn’t put this down and listened to this audiobook in one day. This is an interesting new take on little red riding hood. One that involves potions, witches, curses, and a young woman coming of age, discovering love, and herself. For such a short listen, the characters and plot were well developed. The FMC is poised, compassionate, and forthright. She is not the naive whiny maiden, which I greatly appreciated. The MMC is arrogant, morally grey, and delightfully complex. Essentially the type of character I love to read. The witty banter and teasing between the two was a very delightful addition. In terms of spice, it’s there, but it is mild. In my reading, it was appropriate and fit with the fairytale feel of the story. Overall, a solid and very enjoyable read.

Passion and Whimsy to Howl For

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Certainly not Scarlett Duke—and neither am I! I fell head over heels for Adrian Wolfe, whose brooding allure captivates with every word. Paired with Alexander Bevan's mesmerizing narration—an almost lyrical delivery that breathes life into every scene—this tale becomes an immersive auditory escape.

H. L. Macfarlane’s extraordinary pen transforms a familiar Romantic Red Riding Hood retelling into a vibrant, heart-tugging fairytale. Her masterful storytelling interlaces vulnerability with strength, passion with conflict, and fantasy lore with raw realism, crafting a narrative that surprises and enchants at every twist.

Deeply enamored with Big, Bad Mister Wolfe, I urge all fantasy lovers to experience this whimsical journey. If you're ready to be swept away into an enchanted realm where classic tales are reborn, then this must-listen odyssey is calling your name. What are you waiting for?
