Just was able to read Hooked from this anthology. It is definitely a must read ❤️ Peta up to doing 1 more job, then getting her and her daughter out of the life of crime. She had to steal from the most notorious robber there was. If they could pull it off they would be set.
The heist went wrong, and she got caught. Peta wasn't sure what went wrong,, and what's worse is how she's reacting to James Holder. She shouldn't be thinking about anything other than trying to get away.
This is a great short read & can't wait for more details as this great story unfolds. ❤️❤️❤️

I really enjoyed this book. The stories are classic fairy tales with a dirty twist.

Savage Princess: (Pocahontas) While I enjoyed the story, I would have like it better if it was longer.

Pure as Snow: (Snow White) Wow! With the title it's pretty clear this is a rendition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. However, this is an awesome version. The characters are well developed, the story is well written and the plot is just complex enough to be intriguing. I would love to read more books like this one.

If the Shoe Fits: (Cinderella) Very nice story. I like the characters and the way the story plays out. I think there were a few spots where a few extra details could have been used but, over all, the story is well written. The characters are very detailed with just enough of the backstory to let you get to know them. I would have liked the ending to show what happened when they made their grand entrance at the party for her dad but, other than that a very nice story.

Beauty Lives: (Sleeping Beauty) When I first read this story I thought it was a rendition of Beauty and the Beast. However, after reading a few more stories, I now know it's supposed to be Sleeping Beauty. I don't really see the comparison but, it is still a really cute story. It's got a bit of steam but there are some really romantic and sweet parts as well. All of which pull at your heart strings. I hope the author writes more like this. I would be interested to see what happens with the babies, Hope and Lucy!

Hooked: (Peter Pan, obviously) This story started out wonderfully. The characters, the story and everything were amazingly well written. I really like the characters. Peta is a strong willed woman who has finally met her match, in more ways than one. James holder is an intense, scary and sometimes brutal man who, at times, I want to throat punch. While I love the story, I hate the ending. It ends with a serious cliff hanger and I don't like those kinds of stories unless the next part is already available for me to read. I truly hope the author finishes the story.

Secret Moans: (Moana) I like the basis of this story. I like the characters and the whole Hawaiian theme is amazing. Having said that I must say that I don't like the ending. It was an amazing build up to an epic romance and then, nothing. I didn't understand it. Oh well! On to the next story.

Essential Beauty: (Beauty & the Best) I loved this story. It was really great. There were a few minor errors throughout the story but other than that it was a great short story. I look forward to reading more by this author.

What Big Teeth: (Little Red Riding Hood) I believe this is definitely one of my favorites of this anthology. The twist on the classic Little Red Riding Hood that the author creates is amazing. I love the new details and the bit of naughtiness that was added makes it the perfect adult fairy tale.

Letting It Go: (Frozen) This is a pretty good story. I think it would be great if it was extended into a full length novel. Lizzy and Liam are a cute couple and with the supporting characters, Lexi, Katy, Liam's parents, it makes for a very good story. Fun and frisky. Well done, Jamie. The only thing I suggest is to maybe have someone do a bit more editing next time.

A Tangled Mess: (Tangled/Rapunzel) This story was ok. It was not my favorite. I think the concept was a good one but it wasn't executed very well. I like the characters, and the plot but it needs a lot of ironing out, so to speak, before it is really ready. JMO!

Down Where It's Wetter: (The Little Mermaid) Wow! The sexy scenes of this book were so hot and the rest of the story was really cute. It was kind of like and adult version of The Little Mermaid in reverse with a few new twists to the story. I liked it.

Sweet: (Hansel & Gretel) Great story. I love how the author managed to get so many aspects of the Hansel & Gretel fairytale in there. However, I also really like how she changed it. The new details, changes and story twists were really great. I look forward to reading some more by this author.

Was just able to read a copy of Down Where it is Wetter. What a story. I'm a huge Little Mermaid fan so I was excited to see what kind of spin Bethany would put on it. From the beginning she did not disappoint! There were a couple of statements made by the main character Aria toward the end that threw me a little bit but other than that it was very well written. I'm hoping there might be a sequel maybe even with her best friend finding a mermaid mate hehe. Very well written. I loved being able to figure out who the characters were even though they were named differently and they were in different settings. I'm very happy with this and I can't wait to read the rest of the stories.

I was given an advanced reader copy for my honest opinion.

I was able to read Down Where its Wetter in exchange for an honest review. I have always loved The Little Mermaid, and this story is a dirty version twisting it up a bit. The story had a good vibe from all characters in it. For a short story, there was enough detail for your mind to feel as if you are in the world of "Aria". I wish that the story was a bit longer, so there could be a bit more fluidity from chapter to chapter, but over all it was a great read!

A unique erotic twist to the fairy tales we all grew up with as children. These are definitely not your children’s fairy tales anymore.

I was super excited when I found out that a remake of a dirtier version of the classics will be done by these authors. And I was lucky to get a hold of a sneak peak at Hooked by Reagan Hollow. And Boy did I loved it. This story has the perfect combination of intrigue, mystery and dirtiness to keep the readers interest from chapter one. I am really glad I read Ms. Hollow's version of Cap. Hook and am looking forward to reading the rest of these fairytales.

My inner little girl is excited at all of these Fairy Tales being retold in a very dirty way. I couldn't pick just one short to review because they are all amazing pieces of work. I will say I would kill to have every single book a full length novel. Just saying authors come on you give a little then take it away. I won't give away what Fairytale is which dirty Tale because i want you to figure it out.


The Savage Princess by Cheri Marie

   Fallyn is the chief of police daughter. Emilio is the Mob Boss's son. They shouldn't be seeing each other in secret but they can't help it. When another man tries to take what is Emilio's he will stop at nothing to protect what is his.

          Yes, what a way to start an anthology with a bang. Fallyn is such a strong woman and Emilio is perfect. I can totally see why they fell in love. Their dad's are a couple of men I wanted to kick them. This book was short but full of craziness and greatness.

When confidential material comes to light for the competition Alexander will stop at nothing to find out who, even if that means ruining something great.

     Alexander is such a beast but he is a sexy beast. I loved how he took over and ran with it and wasn't your typical CEO that doesn't listen to other employees input. Rosalie is strong and so very smart. I loved that she wants to learn and be apart of everything. That she wants to know everything about her father's research but she wants to make a name for herself. Be her own woman. Yes sweetie slay.

There's a reason behind that. Grant will stop at nothing to take his mother down. What he didn't anticipate was his new stepsister stirring something inside him. Will he stray from The mission for love?

     What a perfect ending to an amazing Anthology. Not only was this short well too short it was packed full of intrigue and had An amazing wow factor to it. Hadley and Grant are perfect for each other.



This anthology was perfect. I loved all the Fairy Tales and the way each author wrote. I even went and bought a few books by every author just so I can continue to read their amazing work. I hope you enjoyed every short in this amazing Anthology.

I'm not so sure.

Right so I'm all into erotica and when I saw that this book was based around fairytales I was a little excited to say the least but then I read the book...in all honestly I didn't love it. I mean don't get me wrong some of the stories I was very much into and did get me a little hot and flustered but then some of them felt a little rushed and a little bit cringe a d I just didn't enjoy them which is a shame really. I think the better stories made up for the ones that I didn't like though.

13 Sexy Fairytales by 13 Wonderful Authors.

I really enjoyed Hooked by Reagan Hollow.
It was a hot, sexy romance, packed with suspense. Can't wait to read more about Peta and James.

Peta had a rough time growing up. Until she joins the Brotherhood. Now she is their leader and has agreed to take on the heist of a life time.

Can Peta pull it off?

One mistake could land her in a world of trouble

This is a great collection of short steamy reads with a fairytale theme! I read Hooked, by Reagan Hollow, and loved it! Peta was done with living a life of crime, and she only wanted to give her and her daughter a chance to start with a clean slate. Just one more job...but things don't go as they should, and Peta gets caught. But while she should be trying to escape, she's instead thinking about how attracted she is to James...short, spicy, and engaging! I think you will enjoy these for quick steamy reads!

*Spoiler FREE*

Hooked by Reagan Hollow

Wow for a short story I was captivated by the plot and characters. It was thrilling, it was sexy and I was enthralled. Peta was a feisty and strong female character and James Holder was a hot, filthy beast that had me fanning myself as I read. I loved the writing and the characters. The ending made me gasp out loud. I'm looking forward to reading more!

This review is only for "Savage Princess" by Cheri Marie, I read it and had to post my review right away. I'll come back and update the review once I've read the other stories in the anthology.

This was an excellent quick read. Fallyn and Emilio are from opposing sides of the law, neither father wants them together. The story is quick, extremely well written and HOT! The bad guy is truly horrid, while Fallyn and Emilio are amazing. I'm definitely reading more from Cheri Marie!

I read Hooked from this anthology. I loved this story and can't wait to read more. We are left with a cliff hanger that leaves you wanting more. We have Peta and her young daughter who are trying to keep her daughter safe. Peta has be captured and had a job she has to complete and comes across some disturbing information while doing the job. Thus was my first book by this author and I am hooked for sure and can't wait to read more of this story.

I can only do a part review at this point.
I've read A Tangled Mess by Ava Danielle my review is based off the beta version.
This is a Short, steamy, page turner.
Robyne is a modern day slutty Repunzel and what does every woman wants, well obviously she wants to be rescued and loved by a Prince. But his hand has already been promised to a Princess in a far off land.
Will Robyne get an HEA with the Prince of orgasms?

This one will get your emotions churning right away drilling the way into the dark at times. They give you the unthinkable at times but ones that wet the dreams. You will get upset even slow broiling a love hate relationship. One in particular I could not at first decide if I liked or not. Hooked is not the norm I read even in dark romance. Peta has placed herself in a match with one who is worthy to compete with but also brings out so much too. James is one I found a hard time in liking but understood though. When his story comes out too that is the turning point. You begin to get a glimpse also of what is behind the mask he wears. A mystery will build with it just beginning and will leave you craving.

I was able to read the ARC of Reagan Hollow's Hooked. I don't get book hangovers often, in fact I've only ever had one. That is, until I read Hooked. I was simply blown away by this story. There was never a dull moment. This was a story that I couldn't out down until I was done. I'm looking forward to more of Peta and James and also to the rest of the stories in Dirty Fairytales!!

This is a great collection of naughty quick reads! Each book in this collection is by a different author. Great flow and a dirty twist on the beloved fairytales of our childhood. Tangled Mess is by an up and coming author, Ava Danielle, that I am absolutely loving!!! It was awesome to see each author put their own twist on each story.

Do you remember as a young girl you loved to read fairy tales? Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Rapunzel and the like, had been stories you’ve read repeatedly. And of course, like any girl you wished you were in their shoes; dreaming of your prince coming along to take you away so you could become their princess.

The truth is, while those days have long since gone and you’re a grown woman now, your fairy tales have grown up with you. Today you’re involve fantasizing about finding your one true love, no matter where they might be. Today these fairy tales are no longer sweet the way you remember them to be; they can be quite hot and steamy with an alpha male as your prince charming.

These stories will remind you of the fairy tales you loved as a little girl, but however they’ll now have some sort of dirty erotic twist to them, twists which might cause you to wet yourself.

There’s no longer any limits as to where you’ll find your true love; they could be sitting next to you at work, near where you live, the next town, or even from out of this world.

So, if you’re interested in reading dirty fairy tales as the grown up little girl you know you are, why don’t you join the 12 authors in this anthology and step into the shoes of the female protagonists they’ve created in their stories, and feel all the lust and passion these protagonists are going to experience.

For giving those readers who are interested in experiencing fairy tales like the ones they’ve remembered as little girls, but are now big ones, I’ve given these authors and their stories 5 STARS

5 Stars!

I had the honor of getting a big peek at Sweet by Kelsey Jensen and what an amazing little story this was. Giving a fresh twist to an old told fairytale, Jensen delivers a sexy, sweet, and suspenseful romance that will have your heart beating fast and your panties dropping instantly.

From the moment they meet, the connection is instant. She wants him. He craves her. Nothing will stop him from claiming her... not even her.

Grant and Hadley were completely addicting with undeniable chemistry and sizzling sparks that lit up my kindle. I devoured every unforgettable moment they gave me and wanted it to keep going once it was over. While their journey had a couple of twists along the way, like every fairytale...they get their happy ending.

If you like safe, easy, dirty, and unforgettable fairytales then this one is a must read!

I highly recommend this book and particular story.

I've read Sweet by Kelsey Jensen and it is AMAZING. It was such a neat take on Hansel and Gretel. The characters were wonderful, I love how she wrote the witch character! I was hooked from the start and was rooting for Hadley and Grant, it was suspenseful, sweet, and sexy. You definitely don't want to miss this one!
I'm working on the rest of it and can already tell I won't be disappointed

So far I have only read If The Shoe Fits by JM Schalm. Her writing debut and she nailed it. It was funny! I laughed out loud more than once. It was hot! My Kindle was smoking.
If this one is any indication of how the rest of the stories are, this will be a great anthology!
