I have been a fan of Erica Laurie since I read Eun Na and the Phantom which was a paranormal romance based on Korean folklore. I had started getting big into K-dramas and I was like ooh an historical K-drama in book form.
The Fox and the Phoenix is a paranormal shape shifter romantic suspense based on the Chinese (also other asian cultures) folklore of the 9 tailed fox. If you watched the movie Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings you probably saw a 9 tailed fox when Shang Chi visited his mom's mythical home village Ta Lo. The 9 tailed foxes are shape shifters who when they appear in human form are seductively irresistible in physical appearance to humans (if that isn't enough they have magical charming powers to lure you in). According to Dong the 9 tailed fox hero of this romance they are known to kill their spouses on their wedding night by consuming their spirit. So Dong thinks he is a death warrant for any mortal woman he is in an romantic relationship with so he keeps pushing the heroine Riley away.
I said this was a romantic suspense, because plot twist after plot twist is dropped layer by layer on the reader leaving you with so many questions that have you turning the pages to find the answers to them. Riley has a lot of other much more deadly paranormal forces to worry about than Dong and the action really heats up the last third of the book.
Language: No profanity that I remember.
Sensuality content: Kissing only. No sex on page or off. There are a couple times the heroine sleeps in a bed with the hero there, but he stays above the covers while she is underneath them. An antagonist mentions Riley must be pregnant to choose Dong when she isn't obviously, because of the aforementioned facts.
