REVIEWS for Little Red Rides the Wolf [A Siren Adult Fairy Tale]

4.5 Stars/Hot: "Little Red Rides the Wolf by Lara Santiago is a flowing, fast paced erotic sci-fi fairy tale with shape-shifting characters that draws you into the story and absorbs your attention effortlessly. It's easy to believe what's happening to Cheri and Caine. Even the nefarious Hunter, who is at times over the top like Cheri herself, is hard to resist. The sex between Cheri and Caine is almost instant, but through Ms. Santiago's deft handling, it was a truly enjoyable scorching read and you know these two are destined to be together. You can feel the chemistry that springs between Cheri and Caine from their first meeting. This story is quirky, fun, and a quick read because you don't want to put it down, with appealing characters and a fast-paced plot that sometimes doesn't take itself too seriously, but rather lets the reader enjoy the fun journey with Cheri and Caine. With Little Red Rides the Wolf, Ms. Santiago has written an excellent twist on a classic fairytale, with a writing style that flows easily and assuredly, absorbing you into this adult fairy tale from the first page. This is one story that I would gladly recommend for readers who enjoy their adult fairytales." Aggie Tsirikas, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4.5 Blue Ribbons: "Lara Santiago captivated me with this adult twist on the childhood fairy tale ‘Little Red Riding Hood.’ This storyline is fast-paced, fun, and full of scenes that capture the imagination. Cheri’s bravado in such a foreign situation really brought this story to life and I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen in each new scene. I was fascinated by the obvious rivalry between Hunter and Caine and loved the ‘vibes’ of dislike that can practically be felt as I read. Little Red Rides the Wolf is a delightful story that will have you viewing fairy tales in a whole new light." Chrissy, Romance Junkies

4.5 Kisses: "Lara Santiago creates the perfect fairytale and it is definitely not for little girls! Little Red Rides The Wolf captured me from its very first page and I knew that this book would be good. This is a fairytale with a delicious twist that I highly recommend reading. From sexy-hot love scenes to deep emotion, Lara Santiago drew in from the beginning and didn't let me go until the very last page! This is my first book by the very talented Lara Santiago but it will definitely not be my last!" Alisha, Two Lips Reviews

4.5 Flags: "Lara Santiago is the best. No matter how short the story she packs the heat and sizzle into each one. Caine was so hot it made me want a werewolf. It would be worth the bite I think. He made all kinds of places tingle, some were even his own! I can’t wait for Lara’s next release." —Melisa, Euro-Reviews

"Little Red Rides the Wolf is an old fairy tale with a funny, sexy new twist. Lara Santiago’s sexy wolf Caine and sassy Cheri scorch the pages with sizzling love scenes. I enjoyed this tale and wanted more." Rosemary, Joyfully Reviewed

"Little Red Rides the Wolf is a delightful paranormal version of the old fairy-tale. Lara Santiago, with panache and just a little soupçon of tongue-in-cheek, gives us snappy dialogue and good descriptions. Cain and Cheri are a lovely couple made for each other and he is more than happy to help her come to terms with who she is. Cheri's true identity is a nice surprise as are the contents of her goodie bag . I recommend it." Maggie Anderson, RRT Erotic

STORY EXCERPT

 

Rex powered the craft down. “Are you sure you want to traipse alone through the woods to visit a man you’ve never even met?”

“Sure. Why not? I’m doing a good deed. Grampa was very glad to hear from me. He asked me to come right away when I contacted him.”

“Grampa? You don’t even know this guy and you’re already calling him Grampa?”

“I realize he’s a stranger, Mr. Mother-Hen, but he is also the only link I have to my father’s people. I was born here, you know.” Cheri paused before adding, “I’d probably still live here if my mother hadn’t moved us when my father died.”

Cheri wondered if she’d still have wanderlust if she’d grown up here. Since her earliest memory, she’d looked to the twinkling night sky as a place she wanted to explore.

“Why contact ‘Grampa’ now?”

She heaved a deep sigh. “Curiosity, I guess. I didn’t know anything about my dad until Mom died. She left me a letter to be opened on my twenty-fifth birthday.”

“Your twenty-fifth birthday isn’t until next month.” Rex gave her an accusatory glare.

She shrugged, refusing to feel guilty about ignoring the warning emblazoned on the letter her mother had left. “You should know me by now. I was filled with raging curiosity, Rex. I’ve always wanted to know more about my father and his family. Now is my chance.”

“Curiosity killed the cat, you know.”

Cheri shrugged again, grinned and added, “But not the werewolf.”

Rex sent his surly gaze upward. “I’m going on the record that this is very strange.”

“Right. Again, noted. Now please go get my goodie bag for Grampa ready. I’ll be outside checking the hull for damage until the guide gets here.”

“Watch out for werewolves,” he warned.

Cheri responded with a deep sigh and stepped into the airlock to exit the ship. Outside she walked around her pride and joy, the small transport ship called Scarlet’s Legacy, named for her mother. A few dings here and there. Seeing no serious damage, she headed to the hatch. Pushing her collar button to radio Rex as she approached the ship’s entrance, she halted in her tracks, then released the button without speaking.

The largest wolf she’d ever seen blocked her way back to the hatch.

Her instincts, always attuned to animals of all kinds, told her this great beast was not a danger. Even with fresh werewolf warnings dancing in her mind, the uncontrollable urge to stroke the wolf’s beautiful fur to determine if it was as soft as it looked raged inside her.

Sensing no threat, Cheri took a step closer.

“Holy shit, Cheri,” Rex whispered in her ear breaking her calm. “There’s a big fuckin’ wolf by the hatch door.”

“Yeah, I see him,” she muttered sarcastically. “He’s blocking the door.” The wolf regarded her with the most stunning blue eyes. On his haunches with front paws resting forward, tail wrapped around his paws, mouth open slightly as he panted, revealing lots of white teeth, he was the most beautiful creature she’d ever seen. His coat was deep space black minus the stars.

“Don’t move. I’ll try to angle the cannon around and get a shot,” Rex whispered in her ear.

“No,” Cheri shouted into her radio. “Don’t shoot him.” She moved closer to the wolf, putting herself between the ship’s gun mount and her visitor. The beautiful wolf didn’t budge except for his gentle panting.

“What’s wrong with you? That beast is two seconds away from ripping your throat out.” Rex’s flair for the dramatic emerged in full force.

Cheri glanced at the wolf and couldn’t help but smile. The wolf in turn tilted his head to the side and his tongue lolled out. Her smile changed into a huge grin.

She crept forward to an arm’s length away. The wolf watched. His eyes blinked slowly as if sizing her up and finding her acceptable.

“Are you crazy, Cheri?”

“Relax. He won’t hurt me. I can sense it.”

“Oh? You’re a wolf whisperer, now?”

Reaching out with thumb and fingers tucked inside her palm to be less threatening, Cheri let the wolf sniff her hand. After bumping his long nose against her fist, he licked her knuckles. A girly giggle bubbled out as his rough textured tongue tickled her skin. She stroked his nose and scratched behind his ears. His fur was kitten belly soft.

“See, Rex. He’s harmless.”

Her sentiment changed in the next second when the black wolf’s ears went straight up. He turned his big furry head toward the forest and a deep growl resonated from his throat.

“Someone’s coming…” Rex shouted. The wolf sprang up on hind legs, towering over her. Sucking in a breath, Cheri almost peed on herself when the animal’s great front paws landed on her shoulders and pushed her to the ground. A couple hundred pounds of canine landed on top of her as the sound of a sonic laser blast rang out.

The wolf yelped when she hit the ground with a thump. His paw brushed her neck, scratching her. The warm sting of the wound registered as her head struck the dirt. She fought the blackness of unconsciousness. Something wet caressed her cheek. The wolf licked her? She didn’t have time to analyze the gesture before dropping out...

 

 

ADULT EXCERPT

 

Breaking the kiss, she trailed her lips across his rough whiskered face to whisper in his ear, “Are you finished patching me up yet?”

He either groaned or cleared his throat, she wasn’t certain, but he didn’t respond. His fingers traced the length of her spine. His touch sent a spasm of desire straight to her clit. Wet and vibrating with a longing she could barely control, Cheri stepped up her seduction.

After a lengthy silence, she whispered, “Because if you are…” Cheri brushed her mouth along his jaw and continued, “I’d love for you to join me on the very comfortable bed.”

She leaned away from his warmth to ascertain her chances of getting him to scratch the strident itch now pervading her clit.

Caine’s eyes fairly glowed with desire. “I’m done.” His gravelly voice betrayed the calm exterior he expressed. She scooted her hips closer and bumped into a huge ridge beneath the front of his pants.

Grinning, she lifted her wet and wanting body off of his lap and replaced it with her hand on his thigh. She ran her fingertips all the way to his hip and said, “Let’s go then.”

“Right now?”

“Yes, please.” Cheri ran her hand over his cock. He sucked in a breath at her bold touch. She stroked him. Under the rough texture of his slacks, he enlarged even further with her attention. Cheri couldn't seem to help her attitude.

“My, what a big...
