The Three Horsemen of the Black Forest combines elements Cinderella with Hansel and Gretel and perhaps a few other well known fairy tales with a very naughty twist.
Vassili is the main character who has to deal with a less than ideal home life after his perfect and loving one falls apart. He has a secret that is his salvation and must guard it against all odds. His character is quite innocent and trusting for the most part, almost to the point of being naïve. However, that seemingly weak persona for a guy is actually his strength.

My only pause comes from the thought that Vassili was too easily accepting of the novel sexual sensation he found himself in. I never got the sense he was awakened sexually one way or the other and to jump right in one hundred percent in what has to be, even for that time and place, an extreme relationship dynamic, was a bit much for me to accept. On the other hand, this is a sensual fantasy fairy tale where magical and unusual happenings are to be expected. And, the man action is incredibly well written, so much so that it had me fanning myself from the heat of it.
The Three Horsemen of the Black Forest is sure to appeal to those readers who enjoy unique twists on well known fairy tales flavored with a bit of sauce, spice and hunky male loving. And for those who always felt that Cinderella’s step-siblings should have been made to toe the line at some point, readers will be in for a treat in this book. It’s pretty cool.
