His candy cane won’t lick itself…Romance novel model Cain Pellichero has been on the cover of countless books with happily-ever-after endings. But, the werebear hasn’t even started writing his own love story.Cain Pellichero’s rock-hard abs might look Nice, but they just landed him on The Naughty List.If he wants to get his shift back, he’s going to have to claim his fated mate.If he wants to … fated mate.
If he wants to get his mate mark back, he’s going to have to get off of The Naughty List.
Oh — and he has to pull Santa Claus’ sleigh on Christmas Eve.
How hard could it be? Well, Cain’s about to find out that when Fate and Christmas magic combine, anything can happen. Luckily, he’s got an ally — the one and only Vixen, one of Santa’s flying reindeer.
Don’t judge a romance novel model by his covers…
Curvy Candy Cassis knows a few things.
Number one. Cain Pellichero is a romance novel model. So, why is he working as a lumberjack on The Wreath, a rural area of Montana, far away from white sand tropical beaches?
Number two. His mate mark says ‘Naughty,’ which makes him a bad boy.
Number three. He’s just her type.
The only problem is, Candy may act sassy, but she’s really shy. Will she find a way to open up to Cain before Christmas?
The Wreath during Christmas is wilder than Florida during spring break!
When Cain meets Candy, she goes straight to the top of his Christmas list. The only thing the werebear wants is to unwrap her underneath his big, thick, uncut…Christmas tree.
All he has to do is claim his beauty to earn back his beast.
The only problem is, he has no idea how to fill her in on his secret.
When Avery uncovers some secrets about Candy, will Candy and Cain get closer than they ever imagine? And will Candy and Cane go together like red and white stripes on a candy cane? There’s only one way to find out — by reading ‘Vixen Claws.’
This story, featuring a bad boy werebear and a BBW baker, is loosely based on Beauty and the Beast.

But he does some nice things for her. And she wants very much for him to be part of the Christmas photo shoot she is planning for the bakery to bring more business if she can come up with a great plan.. There are some up and downs but it may be a great Christmas after all. Good storyline, like the characters. Adult content. I was given a copy as a gift by the author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.

This has been my favorite book in this series so far! Read on, I’m head to book five in hopes that it’s even better!
A really good Christmas shifter romance.
This series is about twelve naughty bear shifters and their clan has had enough. With fears of them succumbing to mate madness, they make a deal to either help them find a fated mate or else.
The fourth story is about Cain, a Romance novel model, and Candy, a baker from the SF Bear Claw Bakery and an avid romance reader of books with Cain on the cover. Can Cain get off the “Naughty List” and get his mate mark, shift and convince his fated mate there is still Christmas magic or will he lose it all?
I received a free copy of this book via the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
It will make you chuckle in delight.
Candy, this year’s BBW baker, and Cain, the bad boy bear shifter, are both in The Wreath to help create some Christmas magic for Mom’s and children. As the story progresses the beastly boy thinks he knows best, the curvy girl gets a better surprise but they both are in for a wild ride. Vixen Claws brings the reader a new twist on Beauty and the Beast in a holiday book worth reading. Sable Sylvan puts her own mark with her signature sass and this book is full of double entendres that will make you chuckle in delight.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!! And I have bought my own copy as I do most of Sable’s books!
This is the 4th book in this Xmas series, and it is still in Sable’s fabulous world of shifters. This is for adults only due to the steamy content.
This is Cain and Candy’s story! He is a romance cover model with an attitude, and she is a baker on temp assignment at The Wreath. They both have a few snow balls thrown their way through out their adventure into love. This is another story that has a similar premise with the bad boy from Clan Marron and the curvy baker destined to be his mate, but it was very unique in how it got there. I think that’s what makes me like them because it is full of Christmas magic, love, and HEA endings. I can’t wait to see what happens to the fly boy in the next book!
I highly recommend to any shifter fans who love Christmas, mates, and HEA endings!!!
I loved this book. You fall into the book and will not want to leave. This book will leave you wanting more antics from The Wreath and the North Pole.
Enjoyable and entertaining read. Vixen Claws definitely had lots of Sugar and Spice to keep you hooked from beginning to end. So looking forward to reading and seeing what next book in the series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
