Completely baffled! Help please!
22a Join vixen, naturally held back (5)
?O?E?

It looks like ANNEX, reversed and hidden in the clue. I suggest you check your O

ANNEX, hidden reversed

your o is wrong. i can guess what you put in 15d!

Thank you Quisling. You're quite right, my O is wrong. So now I have another problem!
15d Sailor keeping holy books on the turn? (8)
R?T?T?N?
I am assuming this will be sailor (TAR) around holy books (OT). Is the rest of it ING so ROTATING? If so, where does the ING come from?
Or is that wrong too!

Thank you Buddy!

the sailor is the less common RATING

Thank you Chris E. I did debate on ION or ING but I couldn't really explain either so I plumped for the wrong possibility - or perhaps they are both wrong?

Of course! Never thought of that! Thank you so much

Thank you for asking and for the answers!
I'd guessed the right answer but was trying to get to it out of a messed up combination of RN, and holy books OT and GITA!
