Wolf: Book 3 in The Fairy Tale Series

5 out of 5 stars
The story Wolf: Book 3 in The Fairy Tale Series by Jody Lynn Daniels is a wonderful book to read. It draws you in from the beginning and doesn’t let you go until you have finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Carson “The Wolf” Marrok and Maggie Obrien. Maggie is a strong, independent, kind, and stubborn woman. She enjoys living on a ranch with her brother, taking care of her daughter, and helping others. She still feels the pain of her husband’s death. Then the man that she believes sent her husband to die appears on the ranch. Carson is caring and volunteers his time to help children with disabilities. He is a career Army man. He has found himself on the same ranch as Maggie. What will happen now that they have seen each other again? Read this book to find out. This story had my emotions going up and down with the characters. The characters of Carson and Maggie are ones that I grew to care about with each chapter that I read. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters that are introduced and interact with Maggie and Carson. This story is one that had me with a smile on my face as well as laughing. There are times when the characters feel conflicted and upset. There are also those moments that are unforgettable and heartwarming. Highly recommended.
Wolf: Book 3 in The Fairy Tale Series By Jody Lynn Daniels. I love a second chance at love story and having it be and unexpected way just makes it that much better. I read this story out of order without and confusion but I’ll definitely be going back to read the others in this series. I’m a fan of stories told in dual point of views, it just gives readers a fuller picture and it’s a great way to see more of the story. The characters are complex and relatable, I found myself forgetting I was reading a book. Once I started I knew I’d be sitting for a while because no way could I stop until the vet end. It’s well written and paced nicely with amazing characters and I gladly give it five stars.

I like finding new authors along with new series. I quite often find myself reading them out of order but that is ok. I really enjoyed this book and found it to be quite heart warming. The author has a refreshing writing style and brings the characters to life.
The chemistry between Maggie and Carson is quite literally explosive. The whole past history that they share really brings a lot of spark to the book and the underlying misconception on Maggie’s part adds to it. The way that he feels like he should be off limits but is really what she needs just makes for just the right amount of drama added to the book. I like how Carson pursues her and fights to bring their past to an understanding. I really couldn’t wait to finish the book to see how it would end . I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future as well as more of this series.
I loved everything about this book. The characters were so well written that I wanted to reach into the book, grab Stephen and not let him go. Sasha was just the perfect companion to him and together I thought they were the best comedic relief for a story that sometimes broke my heart. I instantly felt like I was part of this family and therefore I had to keep reading to see what was going to happen. This book had everything I want in a book, it made me laugh, it made me cry and it definitely made me bite my nails in anticipation. It’s the third book in the Fairy Tale Series and if the other books are half as good as this one, then I will devour them just as fast as I did this one.

I really enjoyed reading Wolf by Jody Lynn Daniels. It is the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed her writing style and it didn’t take me long at all to really get into the story!
Maggie and Carson’s story was one that I really enjoyed following. I love the way the author really managed to get across how the characters were feeling especially Maggie, I felt like I was living through some of the story with her. I could feel the raw, painful emotions that the author poured into her. There were some moments in the story that were quite emotional and powerful and I have to admit I wasn’t expecting this at all. These painful parts were so beautifully written though and I could tell that they author had taken her time whilst writing them. I love that Carson wasn’t afraid to show his softer, emotional side also. These two characters were definitely connectable and relatable!
I would definitely love to read the first two books in the series especially if they are as great to read and as well written as this one is!

It normal to believe things without facts. What isn’t normal us avoiding the one person who could bring you a moment of peace. Mag and Sasha are adorable together than add Carson. Had a girl drooling. Had me ready for more babies with how he was with the kids. The author wrote freely and smooth. You could tell from how the story is setup that she cares for the characters. I like how I was able to read the story without stopping and wondering what was meant to be said. I think every story has a rhythm. I liked the way the words fit together.
Wolf: Book 3 in The Fairy Tale Series by Jody Lynn Daniels is a wonderful sweet story. It is a second chance story that will warm your heart. There are a lot of conflicting emotions that are up and down. The characters are just wonderful and will lodge in your heart and hope against hope all turns out well.There are many moments when I found myself laughing at the antics of the characters and their loving family and friends.
Carson “The Wolf” Marrok is a military man who has seen many battles and friends hurt but none have affected him more than the loss of his best friend. Now if he could only find his one, his true love.
Maggie O’brien still holds one man responsible for the biggest loss of her life. When that man turns up to her place of employment, all the horrible memories come rushing back. What she discovers is that a heart truly can heal.
Grab a copy you will not be disappointed. I am anxiously awaiting the next one.
This is the first book I’ve read in this series and I was able to follow the threads with no problem. There were always prompts so I knew what was coming… “Will I need any special information on the children coming in?” Obviously there are secondary characters who have had their story told so it’s assumed we know what the setting is all about.
Told in a dual point of view, this story was easy to read and held my attention from the beginning. For some reason, I gave the lead male looks and a voice that sounds a lot like Sam Elliott from Roadhouse days. His name is Wolf and even though the title clearly states that it’s “The Fairy Tale Series” for some reason I never grabbed onto Red Riding Hood. I think I was just reading along and not comparing it to what it was interpreted from.
The kids in this story are sweet and adorable and the friend Abby – well everyone needs (I do, I hope you do also) to have an “Abby” in their life. What a great character she is.
I did enjoy the way the story was written. It is appropriately detailed, the story flows well (although at times I had to figure out who was speaking and look back at the heading) and it made me smile as often as it made me tear up a little bit. I think it was a good balance of emotions.
I would recommend this story and I will be adding the first two to my TBR list.

No one knows how it will end
As you’re pretty, so be wise
Wolves may lurk in every guise…”
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
Wolf is the third book in the Fairy Tale Series by Jody Lynn Daniels. It is a second chances romance, with a military aspect to the story, as well as finding love where you least expect it.
Maggie never expected to have to face the man who she blames for her husband’s death, ever again. She can’t and won’t ever forgive him. So, when she’s forced to spend the next two weeks in his company, she expects it to be quite difficult.
Carson (The Wolf) was Maggie’s husbands commanding officer, but also his best friend. He was hoping Maggie would have let him explain, but she never wanted to listen. Will two weeks change anything?
“The look Maggie gave me hurt worse than the slap to the face, which still stung pretty good. She still blames me for Sean’s death, which she might change her mind if she’d let me explain. But she’d made her mind up years ago and wouldn’t speak to me again about it, there was no talking to her.”
This is a modern take on the popular fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood”. I am definitely going to go back to read the first two books now, too. I enjoyed the story and the author’s writing style which is descriptive and detailed. There was a lot of emotion infused into the storyline- and I really felt for the character’s and what they had both been through. Maggie and Carson were wonderful, and I was cheering them on the whole way. I loved Abby, she is great- everyone needs an Abby in their life- funny, thoughtful, caring, and loyal.
A great read!
Thank you, Ms. Daniels!

Oh my…I loved this story, and this author transported me right into the story and I could clearly picture everything in my mind. I sincerely want to go live and work on this ranch.
I loved the storyline and how that progressed and was handled, I literally read this book in one sitting because I could not put it down once I started. It flowed perfectly and made me smile on more than one occasion. It also hurt my heart in other occasions and I couldn’t imagine how Maggie was able to function as she had, especially when someone from her past walks in the room..Wolf, the main she believes is completely responsible for her sadness in life.
I loved Wolf and thought what he had been through in life was awful as well, even if for different reasons.
This story was so awesome and had a sort of perfect sweetness to it that never felt over the top. I was really sad when it was all over, and the ending was simply spot on. I also can not wait to read many more books by this author, I truly loved her style of writing.
Highly Recommend!
Wolf is book 3 in the Fairy Tale Series but it is my first book by this author and I am happy to say I enjoyed it. The main characters are Carson and Maggie. They’ve both had a rough couple of years and are just trying to heal the wounds that were left behind. Will they be able to help each other or will they make the wounds deeper? These two characters were awesome. They both love fiercely and that always makes for a better MCs.
Even though this is the third book in the series it can be read as a stand-alone, but after reading this one I’d like to go back and read book 1&2 and see what backstory was given before this one. I am looking forward to reading more and I would recommend this to a friend.
I downloaded this from KU. It looked like my type of story. Military man and a woman with a great family (I love those secondary characters). That cover drew me in as well! But this one was difficult to read and follow along with the flow of the story. The writing seemed stilted. Many times an action has already happened then it seems to happen again as the next character talks. Once half a chapter was repeated. When conversations are going on sometimes it difficult to figure out who is talking as the conversation moves along. Maybe some she said or Carson/Abby/Logan etc. said periodically would help with the flow. Confused more than once I kept stopping and re-reading to figure out who said what. That just seems to ruin the moment the author is trying to create.
As the story progresses I can’t help but like Carson more and more. Being a career military man he isn’t so stringent. He is good at laughing at himself and having a good time. The only thing that would have made him better was an introduction to his thoughts and feelings about Maggie from the time he met her to his last time with Sean. As a whole I liked his attitude and smile and some of his crazy thoughts. The whole mistletoe thing was great! ( I mean seriously what an awesome idea! Maybe the next holiday party! Yes!). Anyway reading Carson’s thoughts made me smile.
As secondary characters Abby gets the win! She is funny, thoughtful, helpful and always there when needed. She is a perfect secondary who is a joy to read. The other one I enjoyed was Jake. He added some fun times and made me smile for than once. Sasha and Stephen were typical cute kids and Logan is a nice brother who has a few lovely scenes.
This is listed as a fairy tale and if you keep that in mind while reading you can understand why the story is the way it is. I loved the idea of where this was going and with some tweaks it could easily be a higher rating.
Immediately engaging and brings an emotional punch. This book instantly grabbed my attention and connected to my emotions. The characters are relatable and endearing. I found this to be a quick read and one that I had difficulty putting down until I finished the last page. I have not read the other books in this series and felt this book stood well on it own. I look forward to reading more from this author and in this series.
Wolf (Fairy Tale Series Book 3 ) by Jody Lynn Daniels was a page turner, and once I started reading I couldn’t put this book down.
My first read from this author and from this series, I fell quickly into this sweet second chance romance. Well written, easy to read, this little wonder is full of passion, good feels, and puts a new kind of spin on a favorite fairy tale. Tolde in dual POV we get both sides of the story, rounding out this heart puncher.
As much as I loved this book, there were a few things that bothered me. One was the CPR scene, not so much the CPR in itself, but the fact that the person requiring it wasn’t taken to the hospital after. Anytime CPR is perform you need to take the casualty to the hospital, because there’s a good possability a rib or two got broken in the process. The other thing was that, Sasha, just kind of disappeared towards end of the book. She was such a force, and prominent character, then that, after a certain breakdown, the author, just kind of, left her out of the ending. I felt there was a missed opportunity there, especially with Carson.
Other then that, I loved the plot, and the growing connection between the two MC’s. Their romance grew at a steady pace, it never felt forced or awkward. There was time for both of them to grow and rediscover their emotions. Carson was a sweet guy, like, I think I fell for him. He gave Maggie space and time, but I do feel like if he told the truth from the get go, then it would have solved a lot of problems, especially when he told like three people before her. But as a whole, I think Carson stole the show and really carried the story.
Overall this story is sweet, heart melty and just full of those good feels. I’m definitely going to be checking out the other books, so please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get lost in this modern retelling of red riding hood.
Happy Reading

Wolf by Jody Lynn Daniels is the third book in the Fairy Tale series. I found this book to be full of emotion and so easy to connect with.
This was a new author to me and I enjoyed her style of writing. It was a story that was written in a way that you couldn’t help but like he characters and become invested in their journey. The characters really brought out a whole range of emotions. I could feel the sadness behind them but there was also joy and lightness to them.
Overall I have to say I was impressed with this book and it is definitely s good read. I would highly recommend this book.
Jody Lynn Daniels is a new author for me, but after reading Wolf, I can for sure say it won’t be my last! Even though this is Book 3 in The Fairy Tale Series, these books can be read as stand-alone’s but after reading this one, it will make you want to go back and read the previous 2 books in this series, just to see who’s character journey we will follow. This is an easy flowing read that captivating and engaging from the start until the end.
In this book we follow Maggie & Carson as they go along on a journey of rediscovery, overcoming their past and finding out that they can get a second chance whether it’s with the one person you never expected.
This book has some painful and upsetting moments especially in moments of realisation for Maggie her pain is real and raw. One thing I will point out with this read was that I loved the fact with knowing what Carson does for a living and how he comes across is that he has raw & real emotions and he isn’t afraid to show them. But between the sad upsetting moments, there is plenty of sweet, happy, fun & beautiful moments between the characters and the storyline.
This is a beautiful book of second chances, love and happiness. This is a read not to be missed, I can’t wait to see what Jody Lynn Daniels does next and where this series will take me! I can’t wait to read more!
This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a well written, creative, emotional story. The characters brought the story to life for me and kept me engaged until the end. They are true to life and connectable. This is about Maggie who has been living at her brother ranch and seems to have life on track. But when “the wolf” shows up bring past feelings with him, what will she do? You will not regret picking this book up, I highly recommend it.
