**Reviews ~ Red & Wolfe Parts 2 & 3 ~ Ella James**


Red & Wolfe, Part II (Red & Wolfe, #2)Red & Wolfe: Part 2 by Ella James
Red & Wolfe #2
Release Date: May 21, 2014
Genre: Erotic Romance
Source: Purchased ecopy from Amazon
Rating: 4.5 Bookworms

Synopsis
Return to Rabbit Island for the erotic second installment of Red & Wolfe, the sensual story of exiled playboy James Wolfe and writer Sarah "Red" Ryder. This is an erotic fairy tale inspired by Little Red Riding Hood.



I know this is an erotic fairy tale inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, but I never know what to expect and Ms. James keeps shocking me!

Part 2 picks up right where Part 1 ended. And it gets hotter. *fans self* But this installment not only turns up the heat but also reveals a few things - not only for the reader, but for Red and Wolfe as well. And I had no inkling the story was going to go in this direction. 

Red and Wolfe have an immediate pull toward one another. And in letting Wolfe in, Red realizes how lonely she's been. And Wolfe, despite his desperate need for privacy, finds himself unwilling to part with Red too soon. It's interesting to see how much these two need one another, even without knowing one another that well. I'm quite eager to see where this is going to go from here.

Red & Wolfe, Part III (Red & Wolfe, #3)
Red & Wolfe: Part 3
Red & Wolfe #3
Release Date: June 19, 2014
Genre: Erotic Romance
Source: Purchased ecopy from Amazon
Rating: 5 Bookworms

Synopsis
Return to Rabbit Island with Red and the illusive Race for the hottest serial installment so far. I'd bring at least two pairs of extra panties if I were you.



I'm going to go out on a limb here and compare Red & Wolfe to a dessert. Part 1 was the crust - the foundation of the story. Part 2 was the sweet stuff - the cream filling. Red & Wolfe Part 3 would have been the topping - what finishes off the treat. Only Part 3 is just the next delectable layer in this scrumptious confection. Because there's a Part 4 coming! And I know it's going to be the crumb topping with a sweet drizzle and maybe a cherry! ;)

Okay, enough of my analogy. Part 3 was more meaty than Part 2 (sorry for going back to a food analogy - I can't help it!) We get a little more background on Wolfe, which was enlightening. I enjoyed getting to know more about him. I'm also relishing the dual POV. Getting both Red's and Wolfe's perspectives adds depth to the story.

There's also this intense magnetic pull between Red and Wolfe.
"...I've already gotten far closer to him than I've ever been to anyone."-Red, Loc 356
"Should I be pushing her "on" button just because I can?It doesn't matter.I'm not going to stop.Not as long as she's here.I can't help myself."-Wolfe, Loc 400-406
And the steam level - wowza! Red and Wolfe definitely got down and dirty. I'm not sure where their story is going to end up, but I have hopes. :) I can't wait for #4!

    1. I don't know how you missed the memo, Jessica. But here's something YOU need to know. I know how you feel about cliffies, so I'd wait until #4 is out before you start. Although, I do think the cliffie in #1 was the biggest. Anywho, I think this serial is fabulous! Obviously.
