good start for a first time author
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I'm a bit in two minds about this book, and I can't figure out why but I'll try.

It's a Nice book. I know I hate using that word but it's the best I can come up with! It has drama, passion, love, hate, lots of different emotions with just enough of each to not be overpowering.

I will say this, only Harper has a say. In the first person AND present tense. And it took me til way past halfway to figure out it was present tense, so well done to Fox for making me NOT see something that might have made me dump it!

I did need to hear from Easton though. I think he would have had a lot to say, especially about what he's dealing with, with his sisters and his nutty ex.

And I found out after I'd read this, that this is a first time author! So very well done to Fox for this book, even if it wasn't quite my cuppa tea.

I enjoyed it, it didn't quite push any buttons for me, BUT! I would like to read the next one, just to see how Fox' skill is growing. And Easton's sister really could be an interesting character!

"Washing machines and socks? It works here!"
A SILVER FOX FOR KINKMAS is part of the Naughty or Nice Season 3 and we meet Barney and Magnus. Barney is Kasper's best friend (Crazy Little Thing Cold Love, Destination Daddies Season Two) and comes to Manchester to spend some time with him and Jude. Plus, Cuff'd are having a week-long event called Kinkmas in Manchester that Barney wants to attend. He'd really like a silver fox for Christmas, nothing too serious, nothing too special. What he gets is Magnus, a silver fox who falls for bratty Barney and wants long-term.

There was so much about this story I loved. Magnus' memories of Leo were so sweet and I loved how Barney understood and let him have his moments, feeling secure in what was between them. Barney is the one with worries about their relationship which, to be fair to him, was completely understandable considering how his parents were. Anyone would have doubts after growing up with that.

Light on kink (unless you count washing machines and wearing socks!) but heavy on emotion, this was a wonderful book to read and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

The Dark Phoenix??
Contains spoilers, click to show
I have to begin by saying is I am glad Fox is done with the X men. This bad excuse for a Dark Phoenix story was by far the worst of the lot. I thought the Apocalypse movie was bad. They made one worse! I know there is only so much you can do in a movie but to call this The Dark Phoenix was not the right movie title. Maybe it should have been called X Men: The Alien Invasion. That's all this movie was...a story about Jean Grey getting the Phoenix powers and Aliens trying to get her and steal the powers to rebuild their race. That's the storyline. It seems there wasn't even an effort to tell the story half way right. But at the expense of going on a rant, Fox is done so maybe now Marvel can do the X men justice. My recommendation...don'r waste your time on this abomination.
