Have I just stumbled from one monster, straight into the clutches of another?

Ava

I have a habit of doing what people tell me I shouldn’t. Like eating that extra cookie, or you know, dating the bad boy. When I try to get out of this latest pickle, running is my only option.

A dark gloomy mansion in the middle of the woods, surrounded by an ominous fence. Yeah, that’s not where you expect to find salvation. But the man that swoops down on me, pulling me from the snapping jaws of danger… He sets my blood on fire and makes my heart melt with his care and his cute pet cat.

Lucius

I just want to be left alone. The world is a dangerous place and I want nothing to do with it. But when pretty Ava stumbles onto my doorstep, I can’t help myself. Parts of me ignite that I thought had long ago turned to ashes.

To keep her safe, to keep us both safe, I must let her go. I should send her away.

To break my curse, to rescue her from ruin, I might have to break all my rules. I might have to ignite all the flames and make the ultimate sacrifice.

Rescued by the Cursed Phoenix is a short, steamy novella that is part of the Rescued From Ruin shared author series. It features one sexy, cursed Phoenix, a plucky damsel in distress, and a very wise matchmaking cat.

When she's not penning her next paranormal romance, Vala enjoys the calming rhythm of crocheting, a hobby that, much like her writing, requires patience and attention to detail. A self-proclaimed binge-watcher, Vala’s love for supernatural shows like Supernatural seeps into her storytelling, where she weaves thrilling plots and complex relationships that feel just as immersive as the TV series she adores. In fact, her inspiration often comes from the idea that anything—no matter how strange or impossible—can happen in a world where the supernatural is real.

Her heroes range from alien gladiators to mystical beings, but they all share one thing in common: their undeniable chemistry with the women who challenge and change them.

Living with her family and a mischievous tortoiseshell cat she rescued as a stray, Vala’s everyday life is filled with the same kind of unexpected twists that make her stories so captivating. With a knack for creating immersive, heart-stopping tales, Vala Stone is carving a space for herself in the world of romance and supernatural fiction, one page at a time.

★★★★★★★★★☆ 9 / 10

This was my first book by Vala Stone and I really enjoyed the story as well as all the characters. Ziv the cat was also an entertaining side kick. The epilogue at the end tied things together and left the story in a good place.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
