I really liked this seductive rendition of Cinderella. I thought this book was written so well I fell in love with everything in this book. The characters and chemistry, especially the story as a whole.
5 star review Absolute Pleasure (Dirty Sexy Fairytales #2) by Erika Wilde
AUDIO REVIEW:
The second book in Erika Wilde’s latest book is a modern take on the fairytale Cinderella. The narration by Lia Langola was good and added to my enjoyment and listening pleasure.
Having read the first book I was excited to see what she had in store for Hunter Wilder. Hunter is definitely a dominating alpha male who ticked the boxes for me. He is always in control, unemotional and closed off to all but his brother and sister after the death of his parents and fiancée.
Gabriella (Elle) Darien is struggling to run her realty business after her father’s death, not helped by a step mother who is determined to destroy the company.
When he they meet at the ball his family is hosting they both decide to throw caution to the wind and a night of passion brings these two broken people together.
The last thing Elle wants or needs in her hectic life is a relationship and yet there is something about Hunter that tempts her. Leaving the next morning, Hunter decides that is must find her.
I really loved Hunter and Elle, the chemistry between them was all consuming. There was angst, drama, tears and laughter and the scenes between them were hot and spicy. Absolute Pleasure also contains one heck of a plot twist that just added to the enjoyment and kept me on he edge of my seat.
Elle is a realtor but after her father passes away, she must run the business. It belongs to her and her stepmother along with the house so they are all living together. She is the definition of a wicked stepmother with her two daughters. When they are invited to a ball, they leave Elle’s name off the RSVP intentionally. Hunter is a millionaire and wants revenge on the man who killed his parents. He doesn’t believe in happily ever after after his fiancée died. When he meets Elle at the ball, his family is throwing, he wants her. They both agree on one night but when she ghosts him the next morning, he looks for her. Elle has too much drama in her life and doesn’t want to start a relationship. But decides to just have sex with Hunter. Can these two find their happily ever after?
This is a dirty version of Cinderella but you have the wicked stepmother and stepsisters, the Prince, and the slipper. Great story.

Absolute Pleasure by Erika Wilde is book Two in the Dirty Sexy Fairy Tales Series. This is the story of Elle Darien and Hunter Wilder. I have read the previous book but feel you can make this a standalone book. I loved the first book ‘Total Surrender’ so I was excited to read this book and of course with its Cinderella dirty theme it was a must read. Hunter is our hero but he has some darkness along with some loneliness not to mention hotness that was missing from the original telling of Cinderella. Elle is a strong heroine with her modern day re-due but she still has the evil step-mother/sisters. I totally enjoyed this book and had to read it in one sitting. Hope to read more from Ms. Wilde.
Absolute Pleasure (Dirty Sexy Fairy Tales #2) by Erika Wilde …who does’t love a great Cinderella story. Thanks to Erika for letting me preview this book. Hunter Wilder (wounded by losses in his life) Elaina “Elle” Darien (has her own wicked step mother and sisters) I could’t help feel like I was part of this story. This is a modern day Cinderella story right down to the “Slipper”. Evil Step Mother, angst, deceit, danger, some laughs, some tears, and lots of steam all get us to a very HEA. It was fun getting more Maddux, Belle and Tempest.. and I can’t wait for Tempest’s fairy tale NO INHIBITIONS.
Absolute Pleasure was absolutely amazing! I loved this very well written, sexy and modern day Cinderella story. Hunter and Elle were just perfect for each other. Their chemistry was combustible and instantaneous. And the evil step-mother and step sisters? Wow! Let’s just say Elle did not deserve their scorn. She was so nice. Loved Hunter’s protective streak and loved every moment of Hunter and Elle together. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
“Absolute Pleasure” is the next book in the Wilder’s fairy tale series and it’s even more passionate than the last. With a dark twist on the fairy tale “Cinderella” this story will take you on a journey of betrayal and love. Hunter’s book starts at the same ball his brother story starts. We know that in the first book he met someone at the ball, and she left without a goodbye the next morning. Elle was that someone and he never forgot about her. Elle had her one night of fun with Hunter and then she went back to trying to save her family’s company. She has a stepmother who spends more than the company makes and stepsisters who are the ultimate mean girls. Once Hunter finds out who Elle is though he makes it his life mission to convince her they need more than their one night together. When they start spending time together and getting to know one another things in Elle’s life take the turn for the worse. Hunter and Elle and in a fight to save her life and company. Will they find out who is trying to destroy her?
I loved this book and the Wilder family is my new favorite series of Erika. Even though in the last book I didn’t care too much for Hunter because he was stubborn. In his book though you get to see past the stubbornness and witness something beautiful when he meets Elle. Elle is stubborn and a workaholic. She also has a beautiful soul and is made perfectly for Hunter. I love them together and their story is really what fairy tales are made of.
