My Rating: Five Divinely Entertaining Stars*****
Wow! It's very seldom I find myself at a complete loss for words but after reading The Vixen and the Vet, the first release in A Modern Fairytale Series by Kate Regnery, I have no idea how to write this review. There are just no words to describe how much I loved this story, so I'll begin with a few simple details about the artistry of this book. And folks, The Vixen and the Vet is truly a work of art. This full-length standalone contemporary adaptation of Beauty and the Beast is exceptionally well-crafted with a beautifully written third person narrative and includes perspectives from both protagonists, beautiful twenty-eight-year-old aspiring journalist Savannah Carmichael and former Army medic Asher Lee. The dialogue is intelligent, well-executed, and flows effortlessly. This story is approximately 290 pages but is fast-paced, easy to follow, well-edited, and contains no useless filler. I've always been drawn to modern-day fairytales and have read more than I can count, but The Vixen and the Vet is so much more than your everyday run-of-the-mill retelling of Beauty and the Beast.... this book is truly extraordinary. Yes, it has all the traditional elements to make a great story, but it's the cast of memorable characters that makes this book so remarkable. They are well developed, realistic, relatable, engaging, and exceptionally well portrayed. These characters literally explode from the pages, demand your attention, and will completely steal your heart. Savannah and Asher were so completely different with six years difference in their age, yet they were also very much alike. Both aspired to leave Danvers to fulfill their dreams but both wound up back where they started. I was immediately smitten with these two unlikely lovers and captivated by their story. Their attraction was immediate, their interaction mesmerizing, their passion undeniable, and their love was one written in the stars. They were absolutely perfect for each other. I laughed with them, cried with them, and empathized with them as my heart fractured into pieces for them. And I don't mean just a few sniffles. I outright sobbed and ugly cried throughout most of the book... and loved every single minute! It was exquisite! I've been reading for 70 years and, without a doubt, The Vixen and the Vet is one of the most emotionally moving books I've ever had the privilege to read, and it was truly a privilege. If you enjoy stories with realistic storylines, relatable characters, heartbreaking angst, heartwarming romance, and dreamy sex, then you will love, love, love The Vixen and the Vet! Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers. It does contain graphic descriptions of war injuries, adult language, and explicit sex scenes but all were tastefully done. Will I read this author again? Abso-freaking-lutely! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I was riveted to my ereader, completely enthralled, as the pages flew as quickly as the time with my heart fluttering in my chest and tears streaming down my cheeks. It was incredible! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
Career-driven Savannah Carmichael has worked hard for her dream but suddenly finds her life in tatters and her career as a journalist in jeopardy. At only twenty-eight, Savannah had everything she's ever wanted within her grasp, a successful career with a nationally syndicated newspaper as an investigative reporter and a handsome, wealthy boyfriend.... until she trusted the wrong source and lost it all. All her dreams went up in smoke along with her heart. You see, the source who betrayed her trust and caused her to lose everything was none other than her handsome, wealthy boyfriend. And now she finds herself right back where she started, Danvers, Virginia, the hometown she had worked so hard to escape. But second chances sometimes come from the most unlikely places at the most unlikely time as Savannah soon discovers. She has one chance to steer her career back on course but Savannah never dreamed that opportunity would be the beginning of a journey that would change the course of her life forever and, quite possibly, either make her the happiest woman on earth or cost her more than she ever thought possible. Follow Savannah's life-altering journey as she meets and befriends another resident of Danvers, Virgina, thirty-four-year-old reclusive disfigured war veteran Asher Lee. Her job was to tell his story to the world but it became so much more... more than she ever could have imagined... and Savannah finally learns there are some things so much more important than a story... and one of those things is her love for Asher Lee. Oh my! Buckle up, my lovelies, Savannah's in for a very bumpy ride as she maneuvers through an emotional minefield of discovery and heartbreak. I loved it! This is one of the most beautifully heart-wrenching yet realistic love stories I've ever read but it's also one I will remember for many years to come.
