A real, live mountain man. Zeke Midas. A tasty morsel of a lumberjack at that. He’s an axe-wielding tree feller, plain-spoken and burly. Back in high school, he barely knew I existed except for our weekly tutoring sessions. It pains me to admit it, I’ve never encountered a man yummier than him. Now we’re both grown up, and he tells me it’s time to feed the wolf. That I’m the first and only female to speak to the animal he keeps hidden away. I’m not so sure about that. Zeke isn’t the only male to make my hormones sing, but he’s the only man I can’t forget. So what is it between us? Hormones, or happy ever after? Every night he lays me bare, looking into my eyes as he takes me to the abyss, and shows me the darkest, most depraved secrets inside me. Somehow he knows more about what I want than I do myself. The things he reveals to me… they’re obscene, scandalous… I can’t get enough of them. When he tells me he needs me. I realize I have to get away. Otherwise, he’s going to pull me into the powerful dark side with him forever, and show me once and for all what my wicked body is made for. Zeke is the wolf: a bad boy who likes to get his hands dirty. And just like that dark villain, he can see me better, hear me better and eat me better. The question is, am I ready?

Style: Small Town Romance Story: 3/5 Enjoyment: 3.5/5 Dark Level: 0/5 Sexual: D.R.I.P (Don’t Read In Public) Triggers: NO Male: Sexy, Lumberjack & Small Town Guy Series: Book 3 Pages: loc. 2346 Kindle Unlimited: Yes
STORY: This book was ok and still likable at the same time. The author put her spin on Little Red Riding Hood and spice it up; she did. Zeke’s infatuation with Bunnie reminds me of a high school girl crush. Bunnie, she spent too much time living in the past because she was not treated nice in high school. I understand that even though it’s 15 years later, seeing Zeke brings up a lot of things.
ENJOYMENT: So, even though the storyline was ok, the bedroom scenes were D.R.I.P worthy (Don’t Read In Public) squeezing those thighs. Eyes perks up pleasure scenes.
CHEMISTRY: Zeke was so sexy. The way he handles Bunnie in the bedroom was like whoa. Bunnie could match Zeke’s sexual appetite, which made their fun daddy talk and role-play inviting. Outside the bedroom they had chemistry as well when the other wasn’t worried about insecurities or feelings.
SECONDARY CHARACTERS: There really weren’t any that could be mention as the focus was on Zeke and Bunnie.
Overall, likable story and toe curling sex scenes. I am starting to like these small town men because they know how to throw down while making a girl feel wanted and that’s what Zeke did with Bunnie.
***I don’t equate these stories to real life. It’s about personal taste and what you would or want to tolerate with the books you read. I know we all have different opinions and preferences with what we read and hope this review was helpful.

Who needs to watch Daddy Dom / Little Girl sex when this is basically just sex.I love erotica but this is just way too much. I wanted a story with sex not sex with a hint of a story.
A spin on the Little Red Riding Hood story, Zak and Bunny (okay this name drives me crazy) knew each other in high school. Zak was the football star and Bunny was the fat smart girl. Now she's thinner and a professional business woman. Yay Bunny, right?! Nope, she is obsessed about the people she went to high school with and how they treated her. And these home town idiots still get under her skin. This part of the story turned me off. The romance on the other hand turned me on. So, if you can overlook her complete inability to get over herself and enjoy the sexy times, you'll love this book.

A simply wonderfully different story by this wonderful author Zeke Midas had never forgotten the girl that he had helped to protect as she faced the teasing of the school bully’s during her high school years and in payment for his help and care she had taught him maths and unbeknown the afternoons of her humour and her care had made him fall in love with her, but he had known that she had to find her place in the world first and hope that one day she would return back to him? Bunny had never forgotten the cruel jibes she had endured and having to come back to pack up her gran’s things had been difficult but she had never forgotten Zeke, imagine her surprise to discover that he had become quite the outstanding lumberjack and boy was he a hunk, he certainly had her engine running hot. As the start to interact and go over old times and he realises just how closed off from life she has kept herself he is determined to make Bunny his and his alone and there is nothing anyone or anything can do to stop him. The story is great and the sexual chemistry between the is off the charts and there are also a few laugh out loud moment, everything you would expect from this wonderful author. I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.
Zeke and Bunnie secretly crushed on each other in high school. She was the school nerd, overweight and bullied, and he was the popular star. She helped him get through his science classes, and he kept the mean girls at bay. Neither knew how the other one felt, and when she left town soon after graduation, he thought it best to let her go. She was going places, and he was content in their blue collar town. When she comes back to town as an environmental consultant on a construction project he is working on, Zeke could not be more thrilled. He kept tabs on her over the years, and when he comes face to face with her, he realizes he has never stopped loving her. He wants forever, and she is afraid to dream that big. She is offered a permanent position in Seattle, and when he is afraid he might lose her, he proves to her that their first love will be their last. This story was a quick read, and really entertaining. There is a lot of hot D/s sex, with a good plot. Bunnie and Zeke get their HEA, and it was beautifully done. This is the first Olivia Fox book I've read, but it definitely won't be the last.

Bunnie or Blanca was very heavy in high school and tutored Zeke who was a popular football player dating the head cheerleader. He had a crush on Bunnie but knew she could do better than their small town so let her go off to college and a better life. Bunnie also had a crush and is mad at him because all during this time, he never contacted her and then finds out he also had a crush. Bunnie is now a ecological scientist who has inherited her grandmother's property so has moved back to oversee the construction projects in their town and ensure that they are being ecologically friendly to the lakes etc. Zeke has decided that their time is now to have something and pursues her. Bunnie is a little naughty and on board but will they be able to get past their previous relationship and her self esteem issues to have their HEA. Also, the town is not happy with her job.....Great author and story.

Oh my word, what a completely awesome read. I've been loving the naughty fairy-tale retelling series, add in some Daddies that will alternately turn you on with their protective streak, chasten you with their discipline and leave your panties damp with the sheer masculinity they exude. I have to say that I think Bunnie and Zeke's story is my favourite so far. The friends to lovers element is touching, how both had feelings for the other back in high school but for their own reasons did nothing about it., something they've come to regret. Bunnie comes back to Briarville and Zeke begins his campaign to win her heart. Zeke releases Bunnie's inner minx, I loved the bratty comments she makes in her head, even when she knows she'lls ubmit body and soul to the mountain of a man who's held her heart for over a decade. As with most of the author's novels the road to true love (or lust) is beset with difficulties , but the question is will there be a HEA??
A very steamy retelling of the fairytale little read riding hood. Bunnie (FMC) is back in her hometown with a new name & new confidence. More so than she had when she was growing up there. her new job puts her working with her old friend and high school crush - Zeke. With explosive results & lots & lots of very steamy scenarios. Whilst they both work out resolved issues. Yes theres lots of sex in this book but its also about two people who have danced around their feelings for each other since they were in their teens. Now their back in each others lives they want give into what theyre wanted from the beginning. The sex aside i really liked Bunnie & Zeke characters. Bunnie had her a few issues that stemmed back from her time at school and Zeke helped her see past that to what he saw when he looked at her. In that regards it was a caring relationship even with Dom & Sub scenarios. It was a good read and i enjoyed reading it
I kind of loved this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable even with the weirdness of Bunnie (Blanca) and Gloria. Maybe not weirdness to anyone else, but I definitely felt like it was weird. The characters were interesting and likable with a couple of exceptions. Bunnie's bullies were annoying but I thought it was awesome that they were now heavy and Bunnie wasn't. Zeke was definitely an alpha daddy. His decision to let Bunnie go after high school changed their lives in major ways. Now that Bunnie was back home, Zeke was determined to keep her forever. They had serious chemistry together. The way they both liked to play was both sweet and steamy. I loved that they both had feelings for each other before and again after being reunited. I loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

1. Why does she have to keep repeating how his voice makes her tsunami in various renditions? I got the point the first time she mentioned it.
2. The storyline about the cat is so ick. She finds her cat in the tree and just leaves it there overnight. Which fine, whatever. But the next day "my kitty! My kitty, britches, went missing, and last night i found her just before dark. Shes up in a tree. So high..." acting like a damsel in distress.
3. She complained about men being superficial jerks but she looks at the world so superficially
4. There are so many roll your eye kind of sentences i.e "i cant wait to climb you're tree" or "im really glad your pussy is safe"
I only made it to chapter 5. DNF. I just find myself constantly judging the way this book has been written and its not fair to the author to be so harsh. I have a beautiful book for my shelf.
Such a great book. Zeke helped Blanca at school when the mean girls would call her Blanca the Tanka. She in turn helped him with his grades. Their relationship finally starts to take off when Bunnie comes back to their small town of Briarville. Zeke is thrilled to have her back and he can't wait to make her totally his. There is a lot of banter between them and lots of steamy scenes. He finds that she is just as dirty with her kink as he is with his. She is everything he's ever wanted. I love that she finally found her backbone and let one of the mean girls have it. That seemed to be the highlight of the story for me. Bobby Jo got what she deserved and more. Can't wait to read another story by this author. I received an ARC copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is the third book in the series and I really enjoyed it. It is a second chance at love between Zeke and Bunnie. They knew each other from high school and have reconnected. He is a Daddy Dom who realizes that she is still perfect for him. She has crushed on him since she was young. She never realized that he liked her also because she never felt good enough to have a chance. Zeke has no plans to let her go again. He wants to care for, protect and love her. They have great chemistry between them. Once they get past the obstacles in their way, they have a chance at a happy future together. I have enjoyed this entire Demanding Daddy series

I'd have to say that this book left me feeling rather neutral. The writing wasn't bad, there weren't a ton of errors or anything blatantly unlikeable about the story or the characters. If anything, it read like a drawn out series of sexy role-playing sessions between the H and h. Looking for a story with some meat on it's bones? This may not be for you. Just want to pass the time with some sexy, fluffy entertainment? Give this one a shot. The H is a very sexy lumerjack. The h just seems to be stuck on how she was treated in highschool, even though 15 years have passed. Other than being "hot", I don't understand what the H sees in her. It was sexy, but that's about it.

This is the first book out of this series I have read and I enjoyed it immensely! The history between these two was set when they were young and the fact that Zeke saw a diamond in the rough was a remarkable tell for the man he turned out to be! Blanca was a an amazing character and written with eloquence and beauty that not always shown on the outside but internally was a breath of fresh air. It has a very nice flow to it. This story does not have triggers per say but it does deal with issues that people have dealt with. Miss Fox is an incredible author and I would definitely recommend this and the series as a whole.

Bunnie is back in town as an environmental consultant, and working with Zeke. Bunnie tutored Zeke in high school when she was bigger and nerdy. Zeke kept the mean girls off her back, she was bullied. She left after high school and went to college, and came back to work on a project. Zeke has all his feelings rekindled after she came back. Zeke as a lumberjack is hot, also I liked the fact that he did not settle down because he still had feelings for Bunnie. I also liked that the mean girls turned out just perfectly. I loved the interaction between Bunnie and Zeke. This is just a very entertaining book. I was hooked.

Bunnie, AKA Blanca, was bullied because of her weight in high school, where she met and tutored Zeke, a football jock. During said tutoring sessions, they both developped a crush on the other and didn't say a word about it. Many years later, Bunnie comes back to town for work, meets Zeke again and sparks fly .... .Both characters are strong and very well set up ; great storyline with a little drama and lots and lots and lots of sexy times and steam !! The dirty talk is off the charts !
I highly recommend to read this book with a fan and a very tall drink of water ;)

What can I say? This story blew me away on the different take on Red Riding Hood and the big bad Wolf. I loved Zeke and Bunnie’s interactions with each other. I loved how they both were in love with each other when they were in high school, but never crossed the friendship bridge to lovers. There were so many elements of bullying and self hate that Bunnie had to deal with. I loved who she turned out to be and how Zeke still had her back, but was the Dom to her sub. It was very steamy and entertaining with a happily ever after in the end.

This is a second chance romance between Zeke and Bunnie when she returns to her hometown as part of her job. Never fitting in while in school because of her weight, Bunnie is all Zeke ever wanted but never told her. Now he is not going to let this opportunity pass, so he goes out to claim her. The story tells of their reconnecting with a few little glitches along the way. This is a good story that is entertaining and makes you wonder what is going to happen next. I enjoyed the story and would recommend it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and are voluntarily leaving a review.
A really new and brilliant taking on the Red Riding Hood story. Bunnie or Blanca was a chubby girl at school and was mercilessly bullied but along came Zeke and he protected her in exchange for tutoring. Years later they meet again when she returns home to clear out her grandmother’s house. She is now an ecological scientist and he is a lumberjack. As they start reminiscing over old times things start to simmer and grow between them. A really good steamy romance. Olivia Fox has again written another excellent ‘dirty’ fairy tale.

What a great rendition of Little Red Riding Hood! In this second chance story, Bunnie (formerly known as Blanca), returns to her home town in her capacity as a civil engineer. The outwardly confident woman has to face her missed opportunity crush, Zeke, as well as her teenage tormentors. What I loved about this story: Bunnie’s commitment to exploring her kink & submissive nature, the careful DD/lg dynamic Zeke introduces, and the chase scene. Whew! These two steam up the pages. Fun role playing scenes and a possessive, filthy talking guy. I found this story to be a quick, light, naughty read.
I received a copy of this book. My honest opinion is voluntarily provided.
Bunnie, a former high school need who was overweight and bullied. Zeke, a former high school QB God, gorgeous, popular and flunking science. Zeke offered Bunnie to keep the bullies away if she helped him pass science. What Zeke didn't know, Bunnie was crushing on him bad. While Buunie was unaware that Zeke had feelings for her as well. After high school life happened and Bunnie left. Zeke didn't try to hold her back. The girl had a future. But don't worry they get a second chance. But will they take It? Is that chemistry still there? The answers are right at your fingertips, just read the book. It's a great read. I'm glad it's in my library so I can read it again.
★ Second-chance, small-town romance with big chemistry ★
—>>> Review Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars - This is a small-town romance with big chemistry. Zeke and Bianca were secretly crushing on each other in high school, but he was the high school jock and she was the awkward nerd. Their second chance at romance sizzles when Zeke realizes his feelings for her have never gone away; in fact, they have grown stronger. He did do the right thing way back then, by the looks of it. But many issues still need to be aired between them as well as putting most, if not all, of Bianca/Bunny’s old teenage demons to rest once and for all.
OF does OTT Daddy Dom insta-romamce. It's hard to tell if the numerous big bad wolf and Red Riding Hood innuendos are just bad tongue-in-cheek a try a retelling on the story. Don't know. Either way there are a lot of steamy scenes and a lot that are involved around playacting. There are some scenes that I have no idea how they are not cracking up while havering s3x, especially the princess one at the end. I used the text-to voice option during that scene. Very entertaining.

Oh lord what can I say, this third book is erotic, sensual, dirty, loving and incredible. A love that is kept in your heart until it’s time to be released! That’s what Zeneca and Bunnie have had all these years. Neither knew what the other felt, bullies making it impossible to share or dream. Nothing was standing in Zekes way once he knew Bunnie was back. The fantasy played out with an insatiable desire for being dominated. I loved the book it was a little different but still enticing. Parts made me cry.
When Bunnie moves back to her hometown, her reunion with Zeke is not at all what she expected. Zeke let Bunnie go once and he won’t make that mistake again. Bunnie is shocked as Zeke reveals his feelings for her and as much as she tries to fight this, she can’t stop the pull she feels to Zeke. Zeke is determined to help Bunnie embrace her new found confidence and indulge in all their wicked desires as he wins her heart.

Bunni and Zeke might be from 2 different worlds but their paths have been heading towards each other for years. When Bunni leaves for college then years later comes back to her hometown Zeke decides he is done waiting. But with this small-town, there are big problems. Bunni and Zeke will have to find out if they can make it together. *** Dom / sub and Daddy roles*** not really my kink but I enjoyed the story.
This was a wonderful story about second chance romance. Zeke and Bunnie reunite after many years and the passion begins. Lots of steamy scenes and role playing between the two characters that will keep you entertained. This is my first book by Olivia Fox and it most definitely will not be my last. Loved this book. Hot, Hot, Hot.

This book definitely has me rethinking Little Red Riding Hood and the Wood Cutter. Zeke and Bunnie definitely take role playing to an elevated level! I think if Olivia Fox had been writing the fairy tale books back when I was younger then I probably would not have given up on them nor would I have had to graduate to Eroica and Steamy Romance Novels. Holy Wow!
