I really enjoyed the authors other series, Red & Wolfe, and I’m all for contemporary spins on fairy-tales..albeit these are a darker and steamier version of those tales. I wasn’t fond of Beast because the main guy was basically a dick and being an asshole is not sexy. Hansel however has more promise. The background story is a bit odd and certainly leads to having damaged characters like Leah and “Hansel” (Lucas) who seek ways to cope in unconventional ways. For Hansel it lies in BDSM sex shows in Vegas, with a stage that alludes to his past at the House. This story is a bit over the top, but I like the unique setting and it does add a bit of drama. The scenes between Hansel and Leah are full of tension, mostly because there is a mask keeping him from knowing who she is. That being said I still had some issues with it, which mainly lie in the fact that I eye-rolled a lot during this and has to do with my personal preferences for writing types (which Ella is on the edge of). It’s still a great read though and I will be continuing this series.
