Review by Coffee&Ink

Red Kingdom is a sweeping and intoxicating novel, a twisted retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. I loved it so much I had to grab this particular banner from Amazon for the post. The writing is excellent and the medieval world building vivid and immersive. Elegantly plotted, the characters are nevertheless pulled relentlessly, step by bloody step, to their happy ending. If you love gritty enemies to lovers romance, this is your jam, as it is one of the best I’ve read in a long while. Highly recommended historical romance.

Thanks to the author for a copy of this book to read and review.
