| − | ''“Whatever else he was, she had to admit he had guts. She wouldn’t want to be shut up in a room with an angry Kyn either. Whilst his pixie heritage might have protected him from being turned into a vampire, it did buggar all to protect him from being dead.”''

| − | '''Romance Junkies''' - 3.5 Blue Ribbon Rating
| |
| − | | |
| − | “VIXEN was a good read. A blend of different paranormal elements lent an air of mystery to the story. Usually vampire stories are so similar I don’t enjoy them but this is different so I found myself enjoying it instead of being bored by it. Ms. Carter should be proud of this baby.” ladybirdrobi, Romance Junkies Reviewer. [http://romancejunkiesreviews.com/artman/publish/paranormal/Vixen.shtml Read the review]

| − | “Vixen by Mina Carter is a really great short story. Just long enough to keep you spellbound, it gives you enough back ground to know what is happening and takes you on a quick trip into the lives of the characters. Vixen is great, a hard exterior covering a soft heart and Kalen is perfectly typical, not really knowing what he wants until he’s almost lost it. I truly enjoyed this book especially the glimpse into the future at the end.” Valerie, MR Reviewer. [http://manicreaders.com/index.cfm?disp=reviews&bookid=1888 Read the review]

| − | '''Coffeetime Romance''' - 4 Cups!
| |
| − | | |
| − | “I really enjoyed this quick read. Kalen and Vixen are charismatic characters with a strong attraction to each other. Vixen has always been different and has never felt wanted and Kalen was rejected and betrayed by his former wife. Once they act on the attraction the love scenes are scorchers. The second part of the book is in a different area entirely. The scenes in the pixie’s barrow are exciting and not at all what I expected. I cannot wait to read more about the world of the Kyn.” Maura, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance.

| − | “The title grabbed my attention and the first page reeled me in. I read it from front to back and loved every page of it. Penny is a woman who is not afraid of taking what she wants. Cade is rough and sexy, yet appreciates Penny’s toughness. These two as a couple are incredible. While fast-paced and adventurous, the storyline slowed down in the right places. While I was sad to see this book end, I do look forward to more from Ms. Carter.” Kimberly, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance.
