Setting the Record Straight: The Big Bad Wolf & Cinderella
About
Duplicity has plagued the kingdom for far too long. Maggie McCullough, a reporter for The Daily Mirror in the Village of Fablecastle, is determined to set the record straight. In writing her column, her search for the truth leads her first to Andrew, grandson of the notorious Big Bad Wolf, and then to other characters you will remember from the fables you enjoyed as a child. However, make no mistake, these are not your grandparents’ fairy tales.
In this first volume of the series entitled Setting the Record Straight, Maggie discovers the truth about Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella. What was Little Red Riding Hood doing in the woods the day Granny was “eaten” by the Big Bad Wolf? And what was Cinderella practicing with a golf ball and garden hose?
This collection of erotic fairy tales is quite scandalous, and the perfect romantic lubricant for an evening of fun. Sit back, get comfortable, and enjoy a wickedly hilarious retelling of fairy tale classics. These lusty romantic quickies are sure to tickle your fancy.
“Once upon a time . . . ” was never so much fun!
Praise for this book
I love fairy tales. I mean, what girl doesn't? They are classic stories where love wins out, the villain gets what they deserve, and there is always a happily-ever-after. Of course, we only get one side of the story, and sometimes the perspective can be a bit biased, sanitized for a young audience. As it turns out, the real story is most definitely for adults only, and the facts are even more exciting than the fables!
With Setting the Record Straight, Trina Spillman puts her sexy reporter - Maggie McCullough - on the case, investigating the stories of Fablecastle for The Daily Mirror newspaper. Armed only with her good looks, her natural charm, and some enchanted pastries, she sets out to meet with those fairy tale characters who want the real story told.
The first fable to be exposed is that of The Big Bad Wolf who, it turns out, really did eat Grandma . . . just not in the way kids are told. This was a fun, frantic, scandalous tale, told beautifully through Maggie's wide-eyed questioning and her excited scribbling. It is erotic, adventurous, and even a bit sad in places as true love battles prejudice and private truths challenge public perception.
Next up is the story of Cinderella, which exposes the truth about the evil stepsisters (they were not all as bad as we have been told), their mother (she really was horrible), the fairy godmother (what he really did is so not suitable for children), and Cinderella herself (a less-than-innocent lass who truly won her love). There were some laugh-out-loud moments with this one, along with some erotic twists that I daresay are more interesting than magic slippers, and a happily-ever-after that makes Maggie a celebrity.
There are so many more stories to be told, of course, with one of the biggest teased at the end. While fairy tale reinventions can be difficult to do well, Setting the Record Straight shines because of Maggie, who is the perfect storyteller for exposing the erotic truths. I quite liked this and cannot wait for more!
