Dottie's Forbidden Wizard

by Lara London

Power. Money. Fame. Three priorities drilled into all members of the Ozella family since the beginning of time. It's why I left home the second I turned eighteen. But, fate and my scheming father drag me back in. As one of the first wizard families, we've become a force to be reckoned with. Our family patriarch literally bulldozes his way through life, tearing down forests and farms to make way for more gaudy buildings with his name on them. The Ozellas are both revered and feared within Fable Forest. It doesn't matter to my father that Dottie's family works hard for their land. But, it matters to me. I fall in love with the curvy, spunky woman with a heart of gold the second she stomps up to my front door, demanding answers. She sees me as her enemy, and I need her to continue to think that's all she is to me too, even if it couldn't be further from the truth. My little tornado claims to hate me, but I plan to marry her as soon as I finish what I've started. Between trying to secretly woo my stubborn future wife, dodge my wicked witch ex-fiance, and save my family's name, I might just lose everything.

Coming this curvy heroines, alpha monsters, and fairy‑tale chaos collide in a whirlwind of dirty declarations, magical matings, and heart‑thumping happily ever afters. For readers who like their fairy tales filthy, heartfelt, and unforgettably fun.

I loved the remaining of the Wizard of Oz this story created. Dottie wasn't thrilled to be going back, but anything for Toto. Maddox also knew he had to return but wasn't thrilled at the prospect. How surprised they'll both be. London included all the characters from the origional in some form, and we see their personalities, motivations and desires as the story unfolds. Wanting to help others is a major part of this plot, but so is the possibility of finding happiness for one's self, especially after feeling isolated and alone for many years. Nothing is simple in this tale, as in the origional, but perseverance, planning, and a bit of good fortune goes a long way.

I received a gift copy of this book and voluntarily provided this review. Happy Reading Y'all 📚

This is a retelling/continuation of the story THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ. And I loved it. The main characters are Dottie (aka Dorothy) and Maddox, the grandson of the original Wizard. Since I don’t want to give spoilers, I will just say that the sexytime is super hot and the plot is very clever.

This book is part of a multi author series called Filthy Fairy Tales. A spicy twisted tale on Wizard of Oz. I loved the whole take on the different characters in Oz. Dottie was so sweet , loyal to her family and friend Toto. Maddox was a strong wizard who hid his powers from his evil father. Maddox was sexy, protective, and obsessive when it came to Dottie. This book makes you look at wizard of Oz in a different way and I loved it.

DOTTIE'S FORBIDDEN WIZARD is part of the multi-authored Filthy Fairytales series. This one is a short and steamy, he falls first, instalove with an enemies-to-lovers vibe, double virgin, curvy girl gets her hunk Fairytale romance inspired by the Wizard of Oz. Dottie is our curvy Dorothy. Maddox is the hunky son of the evil Wizard. He’s in love with Dottie but needs to keep it cool due to family dynamics and his witch of an ex. This was a fun and steamy story with great characters, hot chemistry, twists I never saw coming, and finally our happy ending. I loved it so much.

“Dottie’s Forbidden Wizard” by Lara London

-A darkly enchanting, spicy twist on The Wizard of Oz, full of passion and danger. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.

Dottie’s sweetness meets Maddox’s forbidden magic in a world of power and betrayal. Their chemistry blazes as secrets unravel and justice is finally served.

A steamy, imaginative retelling that delivers heart, heat, and a well-earned happily ever after.

Oh my! I loved this story retelling about the wonderful world of Oz. We have a poor, human, fmc who is strong and sure, not afraid to stand up for what she thinks is right. And a wizard mmc who never gave a second glance for fear of the worst happening. Im so excited to know what happens to Toto and Dotties brothers!!.

What an absolutely fun book to read! I always look forward to reading a book by Lara London, and this one did not disappoint. The characters are incredibly engaging and well-developed, and I found myself completely drawn into the captivating story line, which made it the perfect escape from reality.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I'm glad that Dottie and Maddox finally get their happily ever after that they deserve. I really how Maddox's father was exposed and how most of the criminal element are caught and punished.

[Chloe Reed · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dottie’s fiery determination and the high stakes drama of her family legacy make Dottie's Forbidden Wizard an addictive read. I couldn’t put it down, each twist in the wizarding world kept me on edge, eagerly turning the pages.
