"Not the stories we grew up with!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Bedtime Stories
Jean Johnson

Reviewed by Gabrielle Lee
Posted September 6, 2010

Erotic

In BEDTIME STORIES, Jean Johnson takes a collection of fairy tales and makes them her own. Told in a whole different way, they are definitely stories for grown up ears only. I think most of us grew up on these tales and will recognize them.

The eight stories include reimaginings of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, Beauty and the Beast, and Puss in Boots, just to name a few. Each story is a good read, making it hard to choose just one as a favorite. Instead, I would like to mention a few to show you just how enjoyable this book can be.

In The Frog Prince, I enjoyed seeing things from the frogs point of view and watching him learn his lesson, and even maybe fall in love.

In Puss in Boots, we meet a woman trapped in the body of a cat by a fellow mage; an interesting take on the childhood character. I enjoyed Siona and the smarts she displayed while working through her predicament.

Beauty and the Beast tells Viktor and Raisa's story. Proving that, no matter what, love conquers all.

In Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, the readers are treated to a connection to the Sons of Destiny series.

These, and many other, stories in this book make for a great read.

BEDTIME STORIES: A COLLECTION OF EROTIC FAIRY TALES is a wonderful diversion from the sweet childhood stories of our youths. Being able to read one or two short stories at time makes it a nice bedtime read, just as the title proclaims. This was a nice introduction to this author's writing style. Hopefully you will enjoy these stories as much as I did.

SUMMARY

All-new! Fairy tales retold with an erotic edge, by the national bestselling author of the Sons of Destiny series.

Jean Johnson sneaks between the covers of such classic fairy tales as Beauty and the Beast, Puss n' Boots, and Sleeping Beauty, and refashions them into bedtime stories for adults only. With clever gender twists, hot fetishistic turns, other-worldly desires, and explorations into forbidden territories, Bedtime Stories reveals a veritable garden of sensual delights that gives new meaning to the term "happy ending."
