Red
Her husband was having an affair with her best friend and she was the Godmother to their children. Miate "Red" Hayden's life couldn't get much worse. For her spouse she was always too fat, too ugly, too everything but she hung in there because she believed in her vows. There had to be a way to make things right with her husband. A way to make him love her or so she thought until she met two of the most important people in her life, checking into a hotel. The last fifteen years of her life came crashing down around her. Red was an utter and complete failure... Constantine Wolf curiously watched a relationship implode in the lobby of his hotel. And the woman at the center of the meltdown was fascinating. He had to intervene... His act of kindness would open doors for Red she hadn't realized were there. Together they would discover things that neither of them had bargained for. With Constantine she was everything she was supposed to be.

I love Revenge Tales and this is a good one. The (ex)-husband definitely got what he deserved. Nana stole the book and she needs her own story because I'd read it! I needed this story to be longer and a few more details added and revealed in order for me to give it 5 Stars. Overall, I enjoyed it and it's a book I'll read again in the future.

Great Read
Great Story. Kassanna has yet to disappoint me. This was my 1st read in the F'd up Fairytales series, now I'm on to buy book 1. Would definitely recommend this book to any reader looking for a great, quick read.

LOVED IT!
Constantine is awesome! A real alpha male and that's just what Miate needed. I also love that Miate didn't play the victim role. She was a strong woman and so was her grandmother. I hope to read Maxim's story in the future. His character is very interesting. Great quick read.

The intention was there but was just executed poorly. The story starts well enough with Miate (I still have no idea how to pronounce her name) finding out that her husband has been cheating on her through their entire marriage with her "best friend" and the kids, that she is the godmother to, are her husband's. The ml, Constantine, helps her when she goes to confront them when they are about to check into a hotel.
The story gets messy from there because soon afterward they are making out and about to f, the hubby goes off that she's cheating on him, and the best friend still wants her to look after the kids while out with the husband... what?!
At times the dialog makes no sense i.e. the conversations between Constantine and his twin brother (who doesn't even add to the story) or Merci and the way she speaks at times. Also, the way Bastian (hubby) goes back and forth with wanting to stay with Miate, divorcing her and being with Solange (best friend) or just ditching them both just wasn't consistent. Not only is the dialog messy but the scenes are also not consistent and had me like huh?
I wanted to like this and this would have been a fiver if planned out if Kassanna had taken time because it just seemed rushed.

You reap what you sow!
That's what Miate's ex, Bastian and his side piece Solange, found out the hard way. Madame Merci, Miate's grandmother, as right, they needed an exocism. All of that plotting and scheming did not work for them.
When Constantine Wolf was Mirage for the first time, he saw something she did not see in herself. Bastian brainwashed her into believing all the negative talk he filled her head with. Con saw a quiet strength and beauty he just had to get to know. In doing so, they both fell into the strong need of being with each other at all times. I just wish there was a little more of finality to the relationship. I felt like it was left hanging in the air.
This was a fast and easy enjoyable read

Really freaking interesting
Stereotypes galore but for some reason I found it fun to read. Miate discovered her husband has been cheating with her best friend to the extent that he and the friend have two children. How wife missed this don't know. When she goes to the hotel where they are checking in to confront them, big bad Russian Constantine steps in pretending to be her lover so she can save face. When I say stereotypes ,there is Russian Mobster, black man freshly out of jail who assault her, grandmother who feisty and religious best friend who is a hood rat, husband who is not only a philanderer but a thief ugh..but some how I enjoyed it

My review, this is how I see it. I really wish this was more of a full-length novel. This story deserved it. Miate received a rude awaking in the form of photos of her husband, best friend and their affair. A knight in shining armor come to her recuse saving her from total embarrassment. Sparks fly between Miate and Constantine, it seems 'Red' has met her big bad wolf.
Will Miate get the divorce she wants or will her husband and his mistress take away everything her grandfather works so hard to give to her and her grandmother Merci.
The grandmother was a hoot, Merci is her name and her name should have 'Madea!'
My review and how I see it.

Wow!! Such A Fun Book To Get Swepted Up In
This was a quick, funny and romantic read and a great short, leasure story. I saw a friend was reading it on FB and once I looked at the sample, I had to see how it ended. The writer's pointed and obvious antagonistic structuring for Red's former BFF and hubby just made her new relationship that much more enjoyable. The steamy lover scenes and the unforgiving blunt honestly of Red's Grandma, Merci, make it hard to put down.

Red and the Sexy Wolf
This is a very entertaining take on Red Riding hood. Red is married to a trash can of a man who is sleeping with and has fathered children with her best friend. When she confronts the two cheaters in a posh hotel, international business man Constantine comes to her rescue. He is wealthy, kind and smitten. The cheaters get their comeuppance in the best way possible. Cute, funny story.

Miate's narcissistic cheating,duplicitous "husband" was evil,but Red found a man who wished to be evil for her as he seamlessly hands her the blueprint for revenge and the life (and love) of her dreams. I totally enjoyed this Rom Com and simply could not get enough of the hilarious Merci,the most unique and compelling of advocate Grandma's.Don't go near her when broom is in hand and tongue primed to give her Granddaughter's detractors a beat down,lol!

Huff, Huff and blow me down!!!
Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf was never told so well. Kassanna you did a amazing twist to an old fairytale!! Red was married to a worthless, cheating turd and when she discovered the depths of his betrayal her world was rocked. In sauntered the Wolf and the fun began.
This is a grown up fairytale and everyone needs to read it..

Red and the Wolf
This book was good from the beginning until the end. Lies and betrayal finally brought to the light, with the right man bye her side she finds her strength. Solange and Bastion got what they deserved in the end nothing but each others sorry ass. Ms. Marcie will have you in tears from the way she wants to heal people.

Loved Red and Constantine. Red was battered and bruised after a terrible marriage and friendship with Bastain and Solange (both of whom deserve to rot). Constantine saw the beauty in Red right away and pursued her like she deserved. Would love to see more of this couple as well as a story for Maxim.

GOOD STORY LOVED IT
I enjoyed reading Constantine and Red's story. This story had fun, a bit of drama and lots of loving. This was really an enjoyable story, and I would absolutely recommend reading this story there is something for everyone. The only thing I would have liked to see was if they got married. Great job Kassanna. Thank you.

Red and Con
I laughed so much reading this novel. Red’s husband and best friend was a piece of work. I was angry at the piece of crap husband and her friend. I love how the beginning started Con and Red handled her situation with her as a Boss. Some grammar errors but overall good book.

Red meets her Russian
Married to a pitiful excuse of a husband, Red meets Constantine when he helps her out of sticky situation involving her. Her life won't be the same but that is a good thing. I do wish the story was longer.

I 💘it
Omg, how could a friend be that jealous of you, well Miate went through it. Solange was awful to Miate and to think she had kids from Bastian, Miate's husband. I enjoyed the epilogue. Miate deserved her happiness.

Seriously?
This just wasn't good. It was often hard to follow who was talking and some of the dialogue was childish. The instant attraction was ridiculous and the ending was abrupt.
Just not very good.

RED!!!!!
From the first chapter Kassanna had me on ready, set, read!!! I love a story where one has been wronged and then things turn out right! The bell cat of a grandmother is the icing on the cake. This book is one of my favorite in this series. Please read Red!!!

Red and The Wolf!!
Who knew the "The Wolf" could enter Red's life at the right time and help her and her grandmother?? I love how Kassana turned two enemies ( in the regular fairy tales) into two lovers that can last beyond happily ever after!

Red
This story had a mixture of betrayal, kidnapping, attempted murder, foreplay with hot sex. Who knew an unexpected love would develop from heartache. Constantine & Miate aka Red story was filled with laughter, tears, and lust.
Overall enjoyable read. Recommend

Red
This was not your typical fairytale story, but boy did it have the perfect fairytale ending. Every woman wants, needs, and desires their own Constantine. He was simply amazing and he knew how to lay it on Red just how she needed. Great short read

Definitely a fine mess
I really liked Constantine, Red, Maci and Max. Grandma was a fire cracker. Bastian and Solange were just plain pitiful. The confidence and love the Mighty Russian gave to Red was raw, dirty and just what the naughty wolf ordered.

OMG.....Freaking Awesome
Alpha to the fullest, Constantine is a Alpha male more men need to strive to be. Love can make a women foolish so foolish that don't see what happening in front of them.
This book was well written and very entertaining.

Poorly written, hard to understand at times and lots of details left out. Felt rushed and I would’ve like to know about Wolf and his brothers background. Aside from that it was ok. Typical storyline of the kind that you like.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

The story line was very good, and I liked the chemistry between the two main characters. My only objective was the writing wasn’t executed well, which makes it difficult to immerse yourself in to the story.
