ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 21, 2023

She’s as fierce and fearless as they come…

Being pulled back in is the absolute last thing that I want,
Or need.
After all, the demons and horrors of back then nearly destroyed me,
Broke me,
And killed me.

But my friend needs me,
She needs out,
Away from the trafficking and prostitution,
An escape I know all too well.

The Devil Handmaidens are always on my side,
Supporting me,
Trusting me,
And protecting me.

I just need one more person on my side,
The strongest, bravest man I know,
The one who shattered my heart,
Left me high and dry.
Can I rely on Ironside,
Or will he break me all over again?

REVIEW:VIXEN is the fourth instalment in DM Earl’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC: TIMBER-GHOST MONTANA dark, erotic, MC romance series a spin off from the author’s GRIMM WOLVES series/ and interconnected with the multi-authored SALVATION SOCIETY series. This is former undercover FBI agent Lucas ‘Ironsides’ Dombranski, and Mira aka Vixen’s story line. VIXEN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several first person perspectives including Lucas and Vixen, VIXEN focuses on the rescue of several woman kidnapped and used by a human trafficking ring. Several years earlier Mira aka Vixen was a victim of a human trafficking ring, used and abused along with several other women. Five years ago, Vixen’s life imploded but not before meeting undercover FBI agent Lucas Dombranski, a man she struggles to forget or forgive. Fast forward to present day, Vixen receives an emergency call, several women are in need of help, and with the assistance of Lucas Dombranski, the Grimm Wolves MC, the Intruder MC, and her sisters in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC, a plan is set into motion to rescue those most vulnerable, leaving no one behind. Meanwhile, Vixen continues to be the target of the man who destroyed her life, and Lucas declares himself guardian and protector of the woman he loves. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Lucas and Vixen, and the potential fall-out as Mira struggles to let go of the past, a past that is about to come full circle.

The world building continues to focus on the powerful and kicka$$ women of the Devil’s Handmaidens MC. Along with their significant others, several of whom are members of the Intruders MC, and the Grimm Wolves MC, the Devil’s Handmaidens prove they are worthy of their names, determined to destroy those targeting the most vulnerable of society.

The relationship between Lucas and Vixen is tempestuous at best. Vixen blames Lucas for abandoning her five years earlier, abandoning her to the abuse and trauma of her violent captors. Having lost everything and more, Vixen struggled to move forward, only to realize there is more to the story than she could have ever imagined. As Lucas slowly seduces the woman he loves, Vixen is desperate to save the people she left behind. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, determined and impassioned secondary and supporting characters, many of whom figure prominently throughout the story using first person perspective. At times, the number of characters and names felt overwhelming as the author continued to pull in members from other MCs.

VIXEN is a story of power and control, abuse and trauma, forgiveness and love. The premise is dark, gritty, haunting and heart breaking; the characters are broken, desperate, and dynamic; the romance is emotional and provocative.

Heed my trigger warning-they are graphic and dark.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 11, 2020

Tabi Rusko has a simple to-do list: Rob a bank, steal a recording, set up a lucrative factory, and survive the assassins on her tail. Sure, she’s a demoness with the cunning and instincts that come with her species, but she’s always spent more time exploring than training, and her fighting skills are okay at best. One sexy man, a human cop no less, is responsible for her being stuck in a small hick town and forced into a human anger-management group that’s crazier than her. To make matters worse, his dangerous blue eyes and hard body leave her breathless and ready to rumble, and his overbearing attitude is a challenge a demoness can’t refuse.

Evan O’Connell just wants to enjoy his time out of the military by policing a small town and hopefully pulling cats from trees and helping old ladies cross the street before he succumbs to the disease plaguing him. The last thing he needs is a stunning, too sexy, pain in the butt blonde casing his bank and causing a ruckus everywhere she goes. There’s something different about her that he can’t figure out, and when she offers him immortality in exchange for her freedom, he discovers that isn’t enough. One touch of her, a whirlwind beyond his imagination, and he wants the Vixen to be his forever, as soon as he takes care of the centuries old killers on her tail.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

REVIEW:VIXEN by Rebecca Zanetti is instalment 11.5 in the author’s contemporary, adult DARK PROTECTORS paranormal romance series and the latest addition to the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights series. This is twenty-five year old, demoness Tabitha ‘Tabi’ Rusko, and thirty-five year old, enhanced human male and former SEAL/detective Evan O’Connell’s story line. VIXEN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Several characters from the author’s Dark Protectors series cross-over for cohesion and familiarity.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Tabi and Evan) VIXEN follows Tabi Rusko as she struggles to stay one step ahead of the shifter who demand she hand over her latest invention but Tabi’s friendship with detective Evan O’Connell threatens Tabi’s latest endeavor as Evan stalks our heroine from afar. All is not well in Evan O’Connell’s life. Our hero is slowly dying, and only a mating has the possibility of saving his life but Evan is unaware of the supernatural element, and Tabi has no idea if mating a human will cure what ails Evan O’Connell. As threats against Tabi become dangerous and personal, Evan’s newfound powers take on a life of their own when his ‘mate’ is threatened with bodily harm. What ensues is the building relationship between Tabi and Evan, and the potential fall-out as Evan finds himself the target in an effort to force Tabi to give up everything she knows.

VIXEN is a story of power, control, relationships and love. To protect our heroine, another demon has offered to mate but lines are drawn, and when threatened Evan takes control with deadly force. The action packed premise is fast paced and entertaining; the characters are energetic and powerful; the romance is limited to a night –there is definitely a case of insta lust to love.

“If you need an alibi taking that twerp out, just let me know,” Tabi whispered to Raine as she strode out of the abandoned schoolhouse after the useless anger management class. Johnny Baker was a waste of space, as far as she was concerned.
“Thanks,” Raine said, not smiling, the darkness surrounding him. The early spring breeze rustled through the night, chilly and unwelcoming. At least it wasn’t raining.
She nodded and moved down the crumbling cement sidewalk toward her car as Raine turned and jogged across the street to his silver truck. Stopping at her car, she paused, not surprised to see the detective heading her way through the night. “You really have a hard-on for me, don’t you?” she murmured.
“Yes.” Both of his eyebrows rose. “You sure have a way with words.”
She unlocked her vehicle, her body flaring to life at his honest response. “I was raised by a woman who called it like she saw it.” Sometimes the pain at losing Janet still took Tabi by surprise. Why did humans have to die? “Unless you’re going to give up my video, I suggest you head to work like your boss ordered you to do.”
Evan opened her door, his sexy scent of smoked honey wafting around. “I’ll give you the recording.”
She jolted and turned to face him directly. “What did you say?”
His blue eyes seemed darker than usual, deep with what looked like pain. “I’ll give you the recording. Come down to the station tomorrow morning for one more interview, and then I’ll take you to the bank myself.”
It was as if he knew she was going to blow town the second she got her hands on the video, even though her business was here. She bit her lip. If she got the footage, she could meet Abby at the factory and give her instructions before running. Man, she hated to run.
Evan smiled. “You’re sure thinking hard. Why don’t you tell me what’s really going on? I can protect you.”
Warmth flushed her. The man truly believed that. The only way he could come close would be if she—no. No way. She shouldn’t even think of that. Was it even possible? Did she want a mate?
“Tabitha? What’s barreling through your head?” As if unable to help himself, he reached out and smoothed a lock of hair away from her face.
Shocking electricity zapped beneath her skin.
His brows drew down. “Did you feel that?”
She nodded. “Why are you now willing to give me the recording?”
He sighed and looked across the vacant street. “I don’t like that the sheriff’s kid is in the anger-management group with you, considering you definitely injured his pride along with his body. Chances are, he’ll come after you. Since you’re planning to run, I thought to make it easy for you.” His gaze scouted the area, something he seemed to do often.
“Do you miss the service?” she asked softly, wanting to know more about him. Abby had told her that he’d served in the navy a while back.
He blinked. “Yeah.”
“Why did you leave?”
His gaze shuttered closed faster than a bank vault.
“I know you’re ill,” she said quietly.
