Vixen by Jillian Larkin
3.0

I actually enjoyed the story and (somewhat to my surprise) the characters. But I am a big fan of period-piece books that can actually make me feel like I am seeing a real glimpse into the era in which they are set, and Vixen just didn't do it for me. It read far too contemporary for my liking, with bits and bobs of 1920s "jargon" tossed into the dialogue-- not at all what I was expecting or looking for. Books like the Luxe series, by comparison, are much better representations of their time periods.
