Tanzy Harrington is a "B" List celebrity/romance columnist for an online magazine in San Fransisco's Bay Area. She claims there are two types of men in this world: the totally Alpha, dangerous, exciting wolves and the solid, dependable, husband material sheep. Tanzy is a beautiful, confident single women and she has left a trail of broken wolves' hearts all over the place. Even when all her best friends are settling down, she herself will not be domesticated.Until..... Her great-aunt Millicent suddenly leaves town and she is forced to house-sit and co-habitate with the mysterious Riley Parrish. Is he the dependable sheep or is there a sexy wolf lurking somewhere in there? You'll sure enjoy finding out. Of course this premis has been used a time or two, but Tanzy is a very original character so I'm sure you'll be able to be a bit forgiving. This is the perfect book for a rainy day, or superb entertainment to combat all the re-runs on T.V.

Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Ugh. Easy to put down Review: I am not one to leave books unfinished, so I plowed ahead with this one, but it would have been easy to walk away from this "Sex in the City" meets "Nancy Drew" groaner at any point in this thin plot. It very much reminded me of the dinky paperbacks I loved as a preteen, where the heroine always had an adventure of some sort and then reluctantly fell for the last guy she would have expected. The book borrows heavily from the character set-up of Sex in the City (although projecting the supporting characters down the altar) without the finesse -- I lost track of how many times the phrase "multiple orgasm" is used (the pursuit of which might be considered the theme of the book). If you want fluff, you'd be better off in front of the tube. If you want a thoughful, sexy, well-paced novel: you'll have to keep looking. How I wish I had!
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: I'm in 75 pages and already can't stand the guy Review: I came downstairs to my computer in the wee hours to see if any Amazon reviewers say this book is going to get better. The Riley guy seems boring as s**t, and I'm already thinking he's a dweeb. Now that I've read the other reviews, I think I'll skip ahead and see where the heck this thing is going. If anywhere.
Glad I flushed almost seven bucks down the toidee.

Review: I had struggled through 276 pages, and i finally just had to put it down, i did not like any of the characters, i did not care about the stalker, i did not care if Tanzy got hurt, kidnapped or anything! It was painful! i kept hoping it would turn out okay, but it was just terrible. I never put a book down without getting to the end, but in this case, i could not take any more of them! Very dissapointed in this book!
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Painful prose Review: I had thought this would be a nice light summer read, but I could barely get through it, and ended up wishing I hadn't wasted my time. As other reviewers have mentioned, the story was totally implausible (the mystery aspect in particular), which I could have overlooked if the writing weren't so cringe-inducingly awful. This could have been a fun read if it had some good editing. If you don't mind repeatedly being hit over the head with the story points, repetitive language (lots of "fierce" looks), and trite one-liners (at least two characters were suffering from "MSS: Martha Stewart Syndrome"), this might be the book for you.
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: If only the book were as cool as it's title Review: I'll admit, right off the bat, this review is not fair-- I don't like stream of consious narration (something the reader will have to adore to enjoy this book), I like editing. And I hate the overuse of Hip prases since by the time the book comes out the phrase is no longer hip. Also, if some heroine talks about her Jimmy Choos I automatically deduct 2 stars-. It's all been done way too much- or at least use another shoe brand. I was interested in this book because of it's title- "The Big Bad Wolf Tells All" sounded dangerous and sexy, but I was wrong. See Tansy's Rich and Beautiful and Brilliant and Talented and she's Glamorous and Sexually Liberated, and "poor her" all of her friends are married-- my solution, add to your friends! Include other single women! Ha Ha, that would lead to her feeling not so alone and even happier. No, she just tries to get out of spending time with her friends because they're trying to fix her up with Sheep types (the opposite of her favored "Wolf" types). Great, so she cuts her friends off. What a gal. I'm two hundred pages in and I can't finish the dang thing.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Fabulous--Need I say More? Review: Join the wolf pack and pick up The Big Bad Wolf Tells All! In this romantic comedy Tanzy Harrington, online romance columnist, discloses to her readers why men fall into two categories, wolves or sheep, and how this directly impacts relations between the sexes. Enter Riley Parrish, a man about who is as alpha-male as someone can get. Hired by Tanzy's great-aunt to protect her when a fan crosses the line into stalking, Riley knows that to be successful, he must be as bland as the sheep-men Tanzy professes to disdain. Football jerseys, ball gowns, and dynamic conversation between the characters add to the growing tension. Find out what happens when two people realize under extraordinary circumstances what it means to be a "wolf in sheep's clothing".
