Stories Too Good Not to Share: A Book Bar Review...Reddick's Tale

I can taste every flavor and note used to make a delicious red wine, but I’m the king of self-sabotage when it comes to my life. I’ve destroyed every relationship I’ve ever had, including walking away from the woman who could navigate through the forest of my insecurities.

When my grandmother needs help, Devyn is the only one who can help her ... and me. Yet, just as I think I've convinced her to give us another chance, my past comes back to haunt me.

The simple truth? My name is not Charming, it's Reddick. And I will not let a wolf in my one-night-stand's clothing take anything else away from me.

Reddick's Tale is a steamy fairytale reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood featuring a determined hero on a mission to find the person who hurt his grandmother, a heroine who vowed never to look back, and a jilted wolf intent on revenge. This is a second-chance, ex-friends-to-lovers romance set in the fictional small town of Wellspring, Michigan.

This novella is a complete standalone, but if you're interested in the town and all of its secrets, check out the Wellspring Series.

My Thoughts...

Reddick's Tale is a modern fairy tale that puts a fresh spin on the classic Little Red Riding Hood story, turning it into a lovely friends-to-lovers romance. Instead of a simple disguise, the 'wolf' symbolizes the shadows of the past, making for an intriguing plot twist.

Meet Reddick, our flawed hero who tends to self-sabotage but is determined to win back the strong-willed heroine, Devyn.

Elle Wright has a real knack for weaving emotional family dramas, and you'll find yourself rooting for Reddick and Devyn as they journey back to each other. Their path isn't easy with the lurking threat of the wolf, which adds a thrilling aspect to their love story.

Throughout the book, you'll experience a passionate pursuit, a heartfelt reunion, and family secrets, all wrapped up in the idea that some stories are absolutely worth fighting for, no matter how dark the past may be.

If Reddick's Tale were a wine, it would definitely be a Cabernet Sauvignon. This isn’t a light, flirty read; it’s a deep and complex story that invites you to savor every moment.

Enjoy the ride!
