This book is touted as "erotic bedtime stories for women" and I must say its pretty entertaining. The book is a collection of 13 short stories based on Grimm's fairy tales that we all know and love from childhood except, with an adult twist. Since these are short stories there is not much time to

build the story before getting straight to the point. This is a new genre for me and its actually a fun change. The stories are as well written as can be expected and lets just say they serve their purpose. Show Less

I never have been into erotica, until it recently piqued my interest...I'm still not entirely "into" it; most erotic stories and books are completely lame and badly written. This book...well, it wasn't an exception, but the idea was at least refreshing. Take several well-known fairy tales, and turn

them into steamy, seductive, sex-centered episodes, exploring a wide variety of enounters and fetishes such as bestiality (literally, from Beauty and the Beast), voyeurism, exhibitionism, lesbianism, and swinging. You've probably heard of most of the fairy tale take-offs, although I found "Bluebeard" to be an odd choice for anything romantic. In the introduction the author bragged about how her stories were written solely with women in mind, with women's needs and thoughts and fantasies taken into consideration. But I think she went a little overboard with this concept, because believe it or not, most of the stories were a little too philosopical and didactic at times, and obviously allegoric ("Cat and Mouse" was a poorly-shrouded take of typical women's and men's roles throughout the ages). And, despite the constant liberal messages sent throughout the book, it seemed odd to me that every single one of the stories (even the lesbian one) ended in marriage. Go figure. I suppose my favorite story was "Mirror on the Wall," about the wicked queen from Snow White falling in love with her servant the Huntsman. The most ridiculous stories were "Goldilocks and the Three Barons" (as evident by the title) and "Snow White in the Woods" where the young girl is serviced by all seven dwarves, really princes under a spell. Weird. Show Less

This reads more like an instructional at times. While some stories have an amusing, tongue in cheek kind of tone (like Goldilocks) others are very didactic - as if this were a manual on how to have a good sex life. It was also very heavy handed on the morals to each story - for morals there were,

believe it or not. The author's preface clearly states her intent to counteract, through this collection of erotic tales, what she views as the harmful influence of the media and popular culture assaulting feminine identity and warping women physically and mentally. A worthy cause to champion, but I wish she could have gone about it a little less overtly. Show Less

This was really good. I liked it a lot. The stories were fun and engaging. As a total lover of old fiction, I especially was impressed with the writing style of these stories, which totally reminded me of the fairy tales I remember as a kid. This was unexpected. For such sexually explicit material,

Sexy re-imaginings of common fairy tales. A little bit more tame than a lot of erotica, and with little to no coarse language. Any of these scenes would be right at home in a bodice ripper from the 70's, but would not hold up to anything more racy than 50 Shades of Gray. Worth reading for Snow

Having read this book before, the excitement and shock of each story wasn’t there this time. My first read was 4.5. But because I’ve read it before, each story basically became the same story with different characters. I will say, for the first time read- you’ll never see fairy tails the same
