Summary

Who's afraid of the big, bad Wolfe? 

Red Ridley knows he could have a happy life in Ever After, New York, waiting on tables at Mom and Pop's, making numbers add up for clients, studying business at the junior college - and maybe, just maybe having the man of his dreams, Mark Woods, the young owner of the local garage. One problem. Red's gorgeous. Amazing looking. Totally unique. And no one who sees him - especially his grandmother, who's his biggest promoter - believes he won't end up on the cover of a magazine. Gran's dreams come true when famous New York agency owner, Brock Wolfe, shows up in Ever After and sets his sights on Red. 

Red doesn't want to leave Mark, but Gran has given everything to raise him, and the money he could make would give her a happy, easy life. Then, the news gets worse - Gran could lose her house - so Red breaks down and goes to New York where the Wolfe shows just how bad he can be. Faced with a fate worse than death, Red needs a hero or needs to be one. Is there any chance to live happily in Ever After? 

Contains mature themes.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed the book. I loved how the characters and storyline were sort of a take on fairytales. Red mentioned his friend Hans and his sister Gretal as well as a friendly woman the town suspected of being a witch. A mechanic in the town was named Mark Woods. It took me a while to go ' ah, the woodsman.' Although this was supposed to be book 1 in the series, it was released in 2020, it is now 2024 and no other book in the series has been released. It will be a shame if this is going to be the only book because it was very good and I would love to read more about the people in Ever After.

Enjoyable Story

Kirt Graves is one of my top 5 narrors. Lovely tense drama with angst. Kirt as always did a brilliant voice over of The MC in the story. Tara Lain is a new author to me gives you a insight into models trying to make to the top of their careers and the sacrifices they have to make.
