The Vixen's Vice

The Dark Triad

by Mindy Paige

There’s something invigorating about being chased by a masked stranger…

Carlotta Love was resigned to an unfulfilled relationship with her fiancé Landon, never questioning if life could be better or if she deserved true happiness. But then he showed up.

A dangerous man in a red mask that seems to follow her everywhere—on the sidewalk outside her house, bobbing through crowds, even peeking out from the trees that line the trail on her morning run.

Carlotta didn’t ask for this dangerous obsession, yet she played along, not realizing every day she was dancing closer and closer to the beast’s jaws.

Now Zay Athos is claiming she’s his—and he’s coming to collect. Three days. That’s all Carlotta will have to decide which is better—the monster she knows… Or the one she does not.

About the author

Mindy Paige was born and raised in the jungles of Florida. She decided to pursue her lifelong dream of being an author after a grueling bachelor’s degree in botany. From contemporary to dark romance, she loves writing spicy, fast-paced stories, and has a goal to write the most unhinged MMC’s you can’t help but love.

If not writing or reading, Mindy can usually be found playing with her dogs, tending to her plants, watching trashy reality TV with her boyfriend, or fighting off alligators.

Omg, I made highlights and they won’t save !!! I am angry. Grrrr why is this happening to me !! This novella was crazy. Between the murder and kidnapping I thought that would be enough for me. But holy swoon the stalking was literally chef’s kiss !!

There’s no world building in this, it’s mostly smut and I’m certainly not complaining! I could use some more of Zay & Carlotta.

Zay is a man obsessed and will *literally* unalive anyone who gets in the way of him getting his little rose.

Overall, a quick enjoyable read! I’m really enjoying this series by Mindy Paige 🥰.

⚠️ TWs aplenty so check those out!

Well this was a very quick, spicy, masked man, stalker read! Very fun.
I’d recommend this to anyone who is wanting a taste of dark romance. This was light and easy to digest. Being a novella, I understand it’s extremely hard to world build and include other details. I did enjoy it, as a little quickie 😂🖤

This wasn’t fun to read. If this was horror or thriller, I would have rated it higher.

This was just not for me. But, I'm glad I gave it a try, because how else am I going to know what I don't like?
