The Vixen Princess

by Cornelia Amiri

In the dark days of the Saxon Wars, an unlikely pair, King Arthur's champion, Mabon, a hardened warrior, renowned for his Roman military skill, who gave up on a family long ago to dedicate his life to serving king and country is thrown together with Nesta. Yes, the spunky young princess from The Fox Prince is back. Nesta has grown into a fiery, voluptuous, middle-aged widow. Gwydion's dead and Nesta has no children ... 5th century society and her relatives say she needs to get a new protector for Taunton and marry well. But Nesta venomously disagrees. She can protect Tauton as well as any warrior, she has nephews for heirs, and she will never find another man like Gwydion. There is none. Suitors come from far across Britannia to woo her but she sends them all away. Nesta decides that instead of settling down what she needs is action. Something meaningful to do with her life. So with Gwydion's sword in hand, Nesta rides oft to war to fight the Saxons under the leadership of the new war leader a 15-year-old lad named Arthur. To Maben's horror, Gwydion's ghost is called forth from the grave on a quest to bring the comely, much sought after, headstrong, fiery, sword wielding widow together with the dark, quiet, brooding tall, muscular warrior, and open their lonely, locked hearts with the magic of love. Will the ghost ever get through to them or will these two warriors continue to battle falling in love as hard as they fight the Saxons? Will love win in the end or has it finally met its match with these two hardened warrior hearts?

About the author

Cornelia Amiri was introduced through books to the woman who became her favorite historical character, Boudica. The Celtic Warrior Queen made her start writing professionally. Cornelia loves history and in reading a book about the dark ages, she came across the rebel queen, who inspired Cornelia so much, she started jotting down notes, but they were fiction, visions of her involved in the Boudica revolt. Before Cornelia knew it, she’d accidentally written a rough draft for a novel. And she’s been writing books on purpose ever since. Drawing on her love of a happy ending, Cornelia has written over 40 published romance books.

Now, for the more mundane stuff — Cornelia Amiri and her muse, Severus the Cat, live amid the hustle and bustle of sultry Houston, Texas. When not writing, Cornelia loves to read, watch movies, and attend comic cons. She is currently working on a sequel to Rare Finds and a sequel to The Brass Octopus, which she is renaming and republishing as The Librarian and the Rake.

Here is a tidbits of my five star or rather five angel review from Fallen Angel Review for The Vixen Princess:

"The Vixen Princess is delightful read that will draw readers into the story from the first page with Lady Nesta’s declaration of fighting alongside Arthur and his men. Readers will laugh aloud at some of the antics of the ghost of Gwydion and Mabon’s reactions. Ms. Amiri does a superb job developing the storyline and characters while adding a few moments of humor. The battle scenes are not gory but will leave readers chanting for King Arthur and his people. Lady Nesta’s character although very headstrong is not overly so but just enough to prove women can endure and survive battle. Mabon is not a typical historical hero who scoffs at a woman’s attempt to fight but instead embraces Nesta’s ability to honor her late husband. Fans of historical romance will not want to miss The Vixen Princess for it is well deserving of its Recommended Read status!" Reviewed by JoAnn at Fallen Angel Reviews, 5 ANGELS
