 Very Interesting October 16, 2008
There is a fine line between erotica and pornography these days but Nancy Madore takes her place effortless on the side of erotica. The fairy tales in her book lack nothing but the obscene language and poor editing. There is a surprising amount of very graphic and shall we say "kinky" sex included, but it is put in a way that is very dignified. I liked what she did with the stories and how she kept true to them. The ones I recognized anyway. This was good. Nice job.
 Had potential, but sputtered out October 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Many of the tales contained therein were told, not shown. Some of the stories were better than others, but a couple left me rather disappointed. The stories and ideas had potential, but ultimately fell flat.
What could have helped was to use more fairy tales, such as Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and what have you. A couple of the tales weren't really interesting or magical to start with, and didn't excite me. Frankly, I didn't feel that the money I spent on this book was worth it. Half the price would have been better for what I got.
Overall, three out of five for a decent read and effort, but nothing more.
Steamy fairy tales September 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This group of fairy tales was very steamy and original. It is explicit but written in an old fashioned way that I found extra exciting. Some of the more outstanding stories I thought were Beauty and the Beast, Cat and Mouse, Cinderella, The Empresses' New Clothes and Mirror on the Wall. There are many interesting and validating points made about women in the telling. I see by the reviews that some people did not like these ideas mixed in their erotica. While I'm not sure if I agree with every point made, I thought they gave the stories that same "moral of the story" feeling the original fairy tales had. Maybe that was this author's intention. It made the stories more thought provoking than most erotica I read. In my case it made the stories more enjoyable for me.
Delightful little stories. September 6, 2008

I think these stories were wonderful, sensual and charming. They weren't too erotic (which can be a turn off for some) and they helped me out of a "dry spell". The stories were told so well and kept me spellbound, a nice little escape from reality. I look forward to reading more of Nancy Madore's novels. I did get a chance to read "The Twelve Dancing Princesses". I really enoyed that book as well and highly advise anyone to purchase that book also.
Erotic to a point... August 28, 2008
Nancy Madore's premise for this collection of erotica was to "free" women sexually and fully engage ourselves as living, sexual beings. In several of the stories, Madore is able to do this very well. But at least half of these stories feel more like the author is preaching at the audience about how culture has corrupted women's image.. This is very clear is the "Mirror on the wall" story. She would sometimes just go off on tangents at the beginning of the book that would bore you, more than intrigue you or even spark discussion. She was too focused on her goal of "teaching" women how to be sexual beings again. I have always loved fairytales and how they have changed to suit the mores of the time, and I love romances/erotic writing, so I appreciated that combination, and will probably buy her follow-up. I just have to be prepared for a little preachiness.
