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.

my biggest complaint is how much time the MMCs spend away from eachother, and then all the sudden they're together. and how sneaky granny really was.

it was cute..ish

For a romance story, there was a serious lack of relationship development and the MCs spent way too much time apart.

Amazing Narrator performance but...

It was so sweet. I loved how Red stood his ground in New York and how he would do anything for his grandmother. This is a knight and shining Armour stories.

lovely story

I like some of this author's novels much more. Two thirds of the novel is Red knowing he doesn't want to be a model, but allowing various pressures to influence him one way or another. There's minimal romance between the two male protagonists, but they're super into one another and I'm not sure why.

too much time wasted on ambivalence

This story felt really real. Not pretentious I was never able to figure out what was gonna happen next and the way it ended was perfect. I hope this isn’t the only book in the series I can’t wait.

The love

I love the book,I enjoyed all the characters and the twist on a classic. I would love to see the story lines continued.

I really enjoyed this wonderful story. The slower pace allowed for well developed characters. Seriously, I had to take break at one point because I was so concerned for Red that I got teary-eyed. While I anticipated a HEA, this audiobook had a depth to it that was unexpected. This was my first read/listen of this authors work, but certainly will not be the last. Narrator Kirt Graves is one of my favorites, his skill at breathing life into characters is outstanding. I felt connected to all of them. Mr. Graves voices, male & female parts beautifully. Yes there's some 🔥 sexy times, but it's a slow burn to get there and the overall story is the true attraction. I highly recommend giving this a listen.

Great storyline, Well developed character and excellent narration.
