Here's a 21st Century fairy tale that mixes the classical with modernity. A delightful story that's also intriguing. WARNING: do NOT buy this as an eBook. If you want to read it, get it in hardcover. You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/08/05/a-new-fairy-tale-ballet/
  
Mermaids, fae, wolves, and apples abound in this new take on fairy tales. What if a fairy tale was happening and only a hunter could stop it? Would you step up and be that hunter?
Lana is a surf loving human lie detector who gets roped into hunting a fae creating fairy tales. With a sword, a hot fae, and a boyfriend on the side this book is a must read. The characters are all well developed and lovable. You find yourself needing to read the next book right after finishing this one.
  
As far as erotica novels go, this novel is one of the worst that I have ever read. Not only was it vague in any erotic descriptions the author decided to give use, but the actually erotica content was almost absent. It was like reading a fairy tale written for adults with all the gore and vulgarity instead the sunshine and smiles, although the happy endings were present.

When I want erotica, I want <i>erotica</i>. If I wanted some fairy tales told for adults instead children, I would read the Grimm's Fairy Tales.
