The Erotic Fairy Tales series takes familiar stories and reimagines them as steamy adult romances. Beast retells Beauty and the Beast, Red & Wolfe is a take on Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel draws from Hansel and Gretel. All were published in 2014, with some titles released as multi-part serialized novellas before being collected into complete editions.
Ella James uses the fairy tale framework to set up the romantic dynamics. The stories are shorter than her full-length novels and more focused on the physical relationship between the leads. The familiar source material gives readers an immediate understanding of the power dynamics at play, while James adds her own twists to keep the stories from being straightforward retellings.
