The Wolf is Running from Red
Second Chance Fairy Tales Book 2
by Toni Lynn
“I can’t believe you are running from a woman!”
“That just means you don’t know, Red!”
Dan and Amanda were destined to be with one another; Amanda “Red” Peters knew it. She knew he was the one since he saved her in kindergarten. After college, they would marry, and she’d get the guy, the kids, and the dog. It didn’t matter that her family had money and Dan’s didn’t. Then on the day he came home from college, Dan Gathers turned cold, broke her heart, and left town.
Eight years ago, Dan Gathers left his heart and went on to become “the Wolf” of banking in New York. When his father falls ill, he has to leave his life behind and go home to face a father who knew he would be back; he saw the signs. A mother who has a saying for all occasions and an ex-girlfriend who has determined she will do the right thing by them both.
Can these two settle the past, trust the future and survive a town that is determined to help them? In Hollyport, love is always a little complicated but totally worth it.
REVIEW
4 out of 5
An interesting and contemporary twist on Little Red Riding Hood, this was a fun romance to read. The characters are a bit odd, but unique. My biggest complaint is it doesn’t feel like it flows super smoothly, and some of the scenes feel like they’re just snagging the story and making it slower. That said, Dan’s insistence on leaving his small town behind, “Red” with it, was interesting. I totally understand why he’d want to get away from a place where everyone knows everyone’s business, having grown up in a small town myself. I like how Red gives back to the community, and doesn’t think how much money someone has defines their worth. Furthermore, parts of this felt like a movie, like a romantic comedy you might find on Lifetime or Hallmark. Overall a cute story.
