Red and the Wolf

By June Foster

Description:

Newspaper reporter Lilly Hood didn't ask for ADD that's plagued her since childhood. Never mind she can't remember where she puts things, but when she forgets dates with her handsome boyfriend, Hunter Woods, well, that's inexcusable. Though Hunter has known Lilly from the time she was a scrawny kid scurrying up trees and gallivanting through Alabama forests, will he understand when she doesn't keep her promises? Or will he suspect Lilly's falling for her tall, dark, and handsome co-worker? Fellow reporter Wolf Skinner has designs on Lilly and would like to take Hunter's place as Lilly's boyfriend. But his reasons are less than honorable. When Lilly gets lost in the forest and must climb a tree to escape a ferocious bear, which of these gentlemen will be her hero? Red and the Wolf is a modern day retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Sometimes red heads attract more than Wolves.

Book Takeaway:

Lilly: God gave us two ears and one mouth. Sometimes we need to put a clamp on our lips.
Hunter: Trust in God's plan for your life. Don't be afraid to speak up.
Wolf: Seek God's affirmation, not men's.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this book with my critique group as one of the Fairwilde Reflection novellas. Each of us took a fairy tale and put our own spin on it. This book is a modern day retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. The others are Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Cinderella, and Jack and the Beanstalk. All the stories can be found on Amazon.com.
