DESCRIPTION:

Nesta, a fiery, voluptuous, middle-aged widow, decides instead of settling down what she needs is action. So with her dead husband Gwydion's sword in hand, she fights Saxons with the new war leader a 15-year-old lad named Arthur. King Arthur's champion, Mabon, gave up on a family long ago to dedicate his life to king and country.

But to Maben's horror, Gwydion's ghost is called forth from the grave on a quest to bring the sword-wielding widow together with the dark, muscular warrior, and open their locked hearts with the magic of love. Will these two warriors fight falling in love as hard as they battle Saxons? Will love win in the end or has it met its match with two hardened warrior hearts?

REVIEWS:

"The Vixen Princess was a book I enjoyed reading. Ms. Amiri weaves a compelling and intriguing tale of two people who don't realize they are truly meant to be together. The fight scenes were drawn to just the right degree to play a part in the story, yet not overwhelm it and detract from the love story itself. The interfering family was just the right touch of humor to keep The Vixen Princess interesting." Reviewed by Barb of Joyfully Reviewed

"I loved this tale. It is by far one of the best Celtic historical romances that I have ever read. The author, Cornelia Amiri, brings this time period to life. She makes the setting come alive and seem real. The humorous elements that she adds to the story further enrich it and make it one book that is very hard to put down. If you belong to a woman’s readers group, you must have The Vixen Princesson your list! I look forward to reading other books written by Ms. Amiri." Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views, http://www.readerviews.com/ReviewAmiriTheVixen.html

Cornelia Amiri takes the reader on a wild ride. Action and adventure fill the pages of this book (as) this story is told with a generous amount of humor. The reader will enjoy reading the love story of Nesta and Mabon.” Reviewed by Candy of Ecataromance Reviews, 4 1/2 Stars

"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

"Ms. Amiri has done a fantastic job of portraying the battles between the Celts and Saxons, but it's the battle of hearts between the two warriors, Mabon and Nesta, that is sure to win you over."  Reviewed by Linda Morelli for  MyShelf.com

"Gwydion's exploits as matchmaker are hilarious, and Mabon's determination to win Nesta's love is poignant." Reviewed by -Faith V. Smith for Romantic Times BookClub

"I got hooked on this story right from the beginning. The author did a wonderful job of employing just enough Celtic dialect to give due credit to the characters’ heritage, and her use of humor had me rolling from the start. Nesta is a fiery woman, one no ordinary man can claim. Mabon is a hardened warrior who wants nothing more than to give her the love she deserves; yet he has no idea how to go about it. And when the ghost of Nesta’s dead husband joins in on the matchmaking, you can’t help but pity poor Mabon. If you’re looking for a humorous and romantic read, then be sure to pick up a copy of the Vixen Princess." Reviewed by Shannon Leigh Davis of eBook Reviews Weekly

"The time period is realistically portrayed, right down to the battles between the Celts and the Saxons. Cornelia Amiri obviously did her research before ever beginning to write this story. The characters all remain true to themselves, the action is non-stop and I loved Gwydion! This is one Celtic/Paranormal romance I recommend!" Reviewed by Chere Gruber of Paranormal Romance

"VIXEN PRINCESS is a story of two older individuals who still believe there can be life beyond loss, love beyond pain. Watching Mabon and Nesta as they fall in love, is sweet, quirky, and at times touching. If you are a fan of unusual books with a paranormal flare, you might consider reading VIXEN PRINCESS." Reviewed by Edith Morrison of Romance Reviews Today www.romrevtoday.com

"I really am not much of a romance reader, but this book had far more of a storyline than what I would expect from a romance book. This book is well written, easy to read, and the story moves along quickly.  You could easily sit down and read this in one day because it actually makes you want to keep reading.  I look forward to reading more from Cornelia Amiri." Reviewed by by PagenReview

"The historical setting of The Vixen Princess is established through a select sprinkling of details: of time, place, and warring loyalties. At times, you can almost hear the clash of swords on the wind; almost feel the tickle of Gwydion’s breath on the nape of your neck. Cornelia Amiri has a very strong foothold in the historical subgenre, and The Vixen Princess is anything but a vexing read. A little bit bloody and a little bit dangerous, yes. The hero and heroine are older and wiser than most, and the teasing historical tidbits in the plot are ever so fascinating. Truly, you have to love a romance that has Celtic folklore -- mystical, romantic, mysterious -- at its core.” Reviewed by Cheryl Jeffries of Heartstrings Reviews

"The Vixen Princess was an interesting story... ...it was easy to identify with the humor involved in the story telling. Nesta and Mabon had undeniable chemistry and were obviously destined for one another. This is one exhilarating read that will not fail to disappoint." Reviewed by Kelly-Anne of A Romance Review

"A quick read, with steamy sex scenes. A joy to read and to recommend." Reviewed by Anita with The Romance Studio

Excerpt:

Nesta sat up halfway in bed, resting her weight on her arms. "Let us wed at the end of the next battle."

"Aye." Mabon smiled broadly. "Will ye wait for me?"

"Wait for ye?" A puzzled look crossed her face and she sat up completely.

Mabon sat up as well. "Aye. I will go to fight for Arthur, our troops and Hoel's."

"I will not wait for ye. I will ride to that battle as well."

"Nay." Mabon smiled as if he thought she was joking. He shook his head. "What say ye?"

"I swore to fight with Arthur." Nesta folded her arms across her chest. "We spoke of this afore."

Mabon leaned closer to her. "Aye but now ye have pledged to wed me. Ye would not place yourself in danger after ye vowed to marry me. After ye agreed to build a life, a future with me."

Nesta let out a huff of breath. "Oh, so ye will not be fighting either."

"Aye, I will go off to battle, 'tis what I do. I must. I am the Tribunus Laticlavius. Ye know this."

"So ye asked me to wed ye, to build a new life, a new future, knowing ye would ride off to war." Nesta jerked her head. "And I should say naught."

"Aye. 'Tis my duty to fight for my king."

"And ye think my duty is less?"

"Nay, but we speak of my duty which before serving my king is to care for and protect my wife. At least it will be so once I am your husband."

"Is that so?" Nesta's temper flared with the thought that Mabon didn't care about her feelings. "And I will be your wife. And my place is no less than yours. I assure ye of that. I should be able to take care of ye as much as ye take care of me. Mayhap more. " She dropped her arms to her side only to yank the cover up to hide her bare breast from Mabon's eyes.

"I have found ye, found love for the first time in my life." A lump formed in Mabon's throat. He swallowed. "What if something happened to ye?"

"And I have found love for the second time. Which means I had to endure the pain of losing it once. Losing Gwydion. What should happen to me if I have to suffer through that loss again?"

"I am second in command of the army under Arthur."

"Fine. Fight if ye must but understand that my duty is no less than yours. I will fight as well." Nesta swung her feet to the floor as she pulled the bratt with her. She stood, pulling the plaid wool tightly around her.
