The wolf totally gets a bad rap in Little Red Riding Hood. There he is, eating that naughty girl up, and the huntsman barges in with his big ax. I’ll bet she loved it. I’ll bet she adored her big, bad wolf right up until she didn’t get her happy ending. This wolf doesn’t disappoint in bed. Ever. Everywhere else? Absolutely. I’ve got a long, colorful history of disappointing my pack mates and fellow bikers in the Breed MC. I’ve never met a rule I wouldn’t break, but now I’m ready to make up for it. I’ll atone for my crimes. Live happily ever after. If I’m lucky, I won’t even die of boredom. Being the good wolf is the least exciting gig I’ve ever had. But after I kidnap a midwife, being good gets harder than ever. I need said midwife to nurse my Alpha’s mate through a difficult pregnancy. Kidnapping Rain was supposed to be my good deed for the day and a sure-fire way to make up for the mistakes I’ve made with my pack, but now my arms are full of sexy, smart woman and I’m totally up for a change in plans. I want this woman. I want her to be mine. And yeah… I want to be hers. But what’s a wolf to do when he falls in love with Little Red Riding Hood? I’m supposed to keep my hands (and all my other amazing parts) to myself because kissing the midwife is off-limits for this reformed bad boy. Or it should be. Because I’m about to be a very, very bad wolf indeed. *** This is a full-length, standalone paranormal romance with a filthy-minded, down-and-dirty wolf shifter who doesn’t have a filter but who does possess another outsized attribute to make up for it. You don’t have to read the other Breed MC books to enjoy Fang, but you will have a whole new appreciation for what he has to atone for. *** Views: 559
Maurice Magre (1877-1941) was one of the most far-ranging and extravagant French writers of fantastic fiction in the first half of the 20th century, and perhaps the finest of them, because of the fertility and versatility of his imagination and the manner and purpose for which he deployed it. This volume is the eleventh of a series of twelve dedicated to Magre’s works. Melusine(1941) mingles a number of mini-essays and prose-poems with a continuing first-person narrative that, although clearly fictitious and exceedingly rich in the fantastic, is proffered by an unnamed protagonist who is clearly an alter ego of the author. Mélusine might be Magre’s swan song, and its delicate imaginative flourishes the last gasps of his prolific and fecund imagination. His revision of the classic legend of Mélusine of Lusignan is ingenious and the visionary sequences depicting the protagonist’s communications with nature are vividly effective, and demonstrate that Magre’s poetic gifts had not waned.
