Romance and Urban Fantasy Book Reviews
Every now and then I go through a reading “thing”. By that I mean I pick something and go with it. I glom up everything I can of a certain type of hero, or setting or trope. For readers who visit Fiction Vixen regularly you might remember my cowboy stage—yee haw that was fun. Well, [...]
Sloan McKinley is stuck in a never-ending cycle in New York City. Her family is considered high society and she is the ultimate failure having not yet married and spit out the required 2.4 kids.

I’m not usually much of an anthology fan, but I needed a Meljean Brook fix to tide me over while I wait for Michael’s book, so I jumped at the opportunity to review this book. I was quite surprised to find that I really enjoyed it! Maybe I should try to overcome my anthology dislike [...]
Apologies in advance, but I have to start by staking my claim on Christian Grey, aka Fifty Shades, aka One of the Best Romance Heroes Ever. Ladies: I’m in love! What a naughty, naughty boy he is.

This book was absolutely hilarious. I giggled so many times while reading that my husband started giving me odd looks. The funniest parts usually revolved around Ava and Noelle and involved them sniping at each other. They were the type of best friends that seemed like blood enemies to the casual observer. Poor McKell made [...]
The perfect way to describe this friends-to-lovers novella is short and sweet. The fact that I enjoyed it and am giving it a high rating is saying something, because normally romance novellas don’t do it for me.
