This modern twist to the little Red Riding Hood fairy tale was very moving and passionate. Rafe and Ella have had a connection since they were young. When Rafe was sent away because of his emotional issues, Ellas family turned her against him. Now years later, Ella is alone with her guilt over her parents death, taking care of her ailing grandmother. Rafe has learned to live with his faults and is determined to win back the only person who cared for his true self. Ella doesn't remember the good times with Rafe but can't deny the thrill and attraction of this dangerous man pursuing her. I loved the back and forth between both Rafe and Ella. Their banter was their foreplay and their chemistry was explosive. Their history is heartbreaking but they help heal each other and become stronger together. I thoroughly enjoyed this fresh, hot & steamy modern fairy tale.

I have never really been interested before reading "Naughty Fairytales" until I took a chance and dove right into Jackie Ashenden's Billionaire Fairy Tales series. The Big, Bad Billionaire is a dark and sexy version of Little Red Riding Hood and Rafe is our big bad wolf. Now he has BAD down to the T! It was hard for me to open my heart to him. I know by any means it was not his fault of how he was treated growing into the man he is today. What he needed to do was learn how to let go and move on. But his scars ran deeper than I have seen. This story goes to a dark place and the only light in this story is Red, our lovely Ella. Ella has so many issues to work on her own. Her only escape is to dance. She has bargain with the wolf to get the funds to make her dreams come true. Is it a deal she is willing to give up her soul for? The Big, Bad Billionaire is amazing and had me biting my nails. I have never been so engrossed in a story and captured by the intensity these characters bring. These series exceed my expectations

Love in all it's tragic glory turns into an empowering tale of happily ever after. Ms. Ashenden breaks down barriers and tunnels deep into the soul of her readers. The Big Bad Billionaire is a haunting story of obsession, romance and so much pain. Ella and Rafe share a bond that has remained embedded in their souls. It borders on manic, but it seems almost ethereal. The misunderstood little boy has now become an embittered adult with a multitude of agendas and an obsession to gain back all he's lost. Including the angel that has flitted through his mind and held a claim on his heart for years. Can the broken man find redemption in the scared young woman that has yet to discover her own strength? There were so many moments that I could barely breath from all the emotions. Part Phantom of the Opera, part Little Red Riding Hood, Ella and Rafe dance to the beat of their own drum and the melody is one not easily ignored.
