Product Description

When a woman is ripe for the picking . . .

Beth Cordova's life is no fairy tale. Having barely escaped the evil grasp of her wicked stepmother, this “missing princess” seeks refuge in a strict commune where carnal pleasures are forbidden.

Sometimes just one bite of the apple . . .

Her world is lonely and void of intimacy, until the charming Stephen Trent arrives at the commune. Suddenly Beth yearns for a man's touch, the feel of his lips on hers . . . and Stephen is eager to show this pure-as-snow princess that she can still be the sensual woman she was once upon a time.

Is all it takes to unleash her desires...

But all is not what it seems, and the stunning beauty finds herself again in danger, her stepmother hot on her trail. The commune's founders will not tolerate the pair, yet fleeing its walls could prove fatal. Trapped in a world where passion is outlawed, can Beth live happily ever after?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great adaptation, June 17, 2008
Crave is a new twist on the age old Snow White fairy tale.

Princess Bianca feared her evil stepmother to the point of running away. No place was safe however, except for the impenetrable Penitent compound. To enjoy the safety of the cult though Bianca must follow the cult rules, which include the prohibition of all things intimate.

Bianca has always frowned on the rules but has never been tempted to break them as badly as when she meets a man named Stephen who recognizes her as the run-a-way princess. Her step mother is getting closer and she must choose; safety and loneliness in the compound or capture and companionship out of it.

This is a dark, erotic and fascinating adaptation. Cathy Yardley has created a twisted plot and characters that aren't your typical Eros style. I hope Cathy remakes many more fairy tales. If you liked the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy this will blow you away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crave- A Joyfully Recommended Title, August 7, 2008
Stephen Trent was sure of it. His editor was punishing him. What could there be for him to investigate at the Penitent Compound in Pennsylvania? The residents live a very simple life of abstinence and strict gender separation. And he is really having a hard taking the whole assignment seriously. But when he spots (and can't take his eyes off of) a young woman in the dining hall, he decides this assignment might not be so bad. Why does she seem so familiar to him?



Beth Cordova has been hiding a very big secret for ten years--herself. The world thinks she's dead and that's exactly what she wants them to think. If she is ever found, her stepmother will kill her. The Penitent Compound has been the perfect place for her. The seven Founders of the Compound have been more than happy to have her there. One of them even more so than the others.



Beth's identity is in danger of being revealed by the man she can't stay away from. Stephen discovers more than just Beth's identity, there is more to the Penitents than meets the eye. He has to get Beth out before it's too late because banishment is not what it sounds like. And it seems that her stepmother knows where to find her.



As soon as I got CRAVE: The Seduction of Snow White I started reading and I couldn't put it down. I have always loved fairy tales and would read them over and over when I was a kid. I was always delighted when I found a new story or a new version of a fairy tale that I loved. That hasn't changed. CRAVE: The Seduction of Snow White is an amazing twist to the story of Snow White. Ms. Yardley's imagination is so brilliant that this adult version is hard to put down. It's all here, the 7 men who take Snow White in, a jealous stepmother who wants to kill her and her Prince--okay, so he's a reporter--who sweeps her off her feet. And did I mention the really hot sex? You've never seen Snow White like this!

2.0 out of 5 stars Odd man out, October 31, 2009
By HallowKitty (Honolulu, HI United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I guess I'll be playing the role of odd man out here since I'm the only one who didn't care for the book so far. I gave this two stars because I think the author wrote well and I liked the overall concept of trying to place the snow white story in a modern setting. That said, it simply didn't work for me.

The plot didn't have me convinced - the heroine's reasons for staying in such a looney bin colony just didn't work for me. Even if I was running for my life, I would take total isolation in a cabin somewhere to staying with a bunch of oppressive, potentially violent weirdos. The hero wasn't really all that likeable and I just didn't think their romance had any, well, romance. I was a little bored and even the forbidden forest frolicking (whew, almost seussian) by a few of the colony's more rebellious (why do they stay, too?) members didn't really make the story all that interesting for me.

Cannot recommend this one.
