Regret and Redemption : A Carnal Cryptids Short Kindle Edition
When the door to her rental place comes crashing in, Jess is ready to fight back and protect her best friend Desi’s whereabouts at any cost. Betrayed by her own phone, she’s violently pulled into a world full of monsters and mayhem, forced to fight back with the sharpest weapon she has. When one of her attackers emerges as an unexpected ally, Jess is forced to confront not only the existence of mythical Concepts, but some decidedly human emotions too.
Dov has existed for years under the thumb of a man he both despises and depends on, forced to act against his own interests to stay alive. When he’s pushed to cross a line, he finds something unexpected on the other side a black-haired beauty with an attitude that could take out a tank. Now it’s up to him to make the break he’s been longing for, and hopefully some amends while he’s at it.
Carnal Cryptids: Regret and Redemption is a short / alternate POV tale intended to be read between Carnal Cryptids: East Coast and Carnal Cryptids 2: Southeast.
This story primarily focuses on enhancing events that have already occurred in Carnal Cryptids: East Coast, and offers additional insight and backstory that will lead into Carnal Cryptids 2: Southeast. While adult language is used and attraction is definitely present, this tale is just for a bit of backstory and thus does not contain spice (e.g. there’s no kissing, no beast-with-two-backs, etc.) - sorry! There will be LOTS in Carnal Cryptids 2, though, so try not to worry too much.- LanguageEnglish

About the author

An unapologetic book-huffer and devourer-of-stories, Vera Valentine has carried on a torrid love affair with the written word for nearly all of her 40 years. Grown in the diner-laden wilds of the New Jersey Pine Barrens and transplanted to North Carolina, she lives with her husband, eight cats, and two dogs, most of whom are house trained. An avid fan of the Paranormal 'Why Choose?' / Queer Polyam genre, she initially tossed her author hat into the ring in September of 2021. Since then, she's applied her pen to more than a dozen books full of spicy romance, angst, and dry humor, including fear-feeding cryptids, Easter bunny aliens, and omegaverse balloon animal shifters.
A self-professed chaotic capybara, Vera can usually be found spending too much time on social media, chilling with fellow authors, or scribbling down plot bunny ideas in her trusty paper sidekick, the Bad Idea Book™.
If you'd like to stay in touch and up-to-date on Vera's latest projects, pop by www.ValentineVerse.com to follow her on social media, sign up for the ValentineVerse Newsletter, and more! :)

- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2023This helps you understand some of what happened towards the end of the first book in the series since it’s tolls from two new POVs. Dov already didn’t seem too bad in the other book and he definitely redeemed himself.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2023Vera Valentine writes different but engaging books that I constantly read because her characters are fully presented and vibrant!! Her stories run the gambit from heavy smut to romantic smut but always with great characters!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2022Nice short read. Gives a good view into what happened once Silas and Dov appeared and fit perfectly in place time wise. Looking forward to the next story. Still can't belive I was so late to the party on reading this series. Glad I found it. Reviewed by Who She Reads
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2022I liked having the POV of Jess and Dov's events of what happened behind-the-scenes in Book 1. It will really set the story moving forward for how the relationship progresses for Dov and Jess knowing the backstory. Hope to read he puts those knotting skills to use in the next book😘
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2023This was a great little segue for the next book in the series. I like that we get Dov and Jess’s pov of the stand off in book 1. Excited to read Southeast next..
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2022Great backstory and I'm salivating for the next book in the Carnal Cryptids series! I liked reading these events from this POV. There's enough new information that it didn't feel like a waste of time, and certainly holds info you'll want before reading the next book.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2022A nice peak at what happened with Jess, Dov, and Silas during Desi’s story, and some initial budding feelings between Jess and Dov. Looking forward to the full book.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2022Did we NEED a different POV as an intro for book two? No. But, am I glad it happened. Yea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just enough to take the edge off...
I loved CC:EC, and am eagerly awaiting CC:SE. Dov intrigued me when I first came across his character, and I'm glad to have this little snippet between him and Jess from their POV.
I'm curious to find out what Ms Valentine has in store for these characters, as well as why Dov seems to be surviving on his own...and whether his requited attraction Jess has anything to do with it. This is a lovely little taster to keep us happy until CC:SE is released.
