A BITE TO REMEMBER

Author: Lynsay Sands ISBN: 006077407X 7/2006 PARANORMAL Publisher: AVON

Rule #1: Never get involved with someone who won't be there for you when the sun comes up. Once bitten, twice shy, and sexy PI Jackie Morrisey wasn't going there again. Vincent Argeneau may be the hottest guy she's ever met, living or dead, but she's here to stop a killer from turning this vampire into dust, not to jump into bed with him. Rule #2: Never kiss a vampire...it can be a pain in the neck. Okay, so Vincent's had four hundred years to perfect his kissing skills, and he does look rather tempting when he runs around the house shirtless. He's also charming, protective ... did we mention he can kiss? Jackie needs to be on her guard, or else she'll have to come up with a new rule: If you're going to fall in love with a vampire, make sure it's a bite to remember.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Vincent Argeneau is a vamp with a problem. His company is being sabotaged and his actors are being hurt. Being the sexiest vampire in the entire world is not going to help him out of this little predicament. He needs help... and he needs it fast!

Jackie Morrisey is the best at what she does and she never skimps on her job—even if it means chasing crazy vampires around late at night with no shoes on. She gets the job done, one way or another. There is only one small problem—Jackie distrusts all immortals. She was terribly used and horribly hurt by a vampire 11 years ago, and has never fully gotten over it. Jackie's character is so much fun, such a joy to get to know. She is sarcastic and witty, matching Vincent word for word and kiss for kiss.

Vincent, as stated before, is the SEXIEST vampire I have ever had the pleasure of reading about. He has the perfect dry sense of humor to offset Jackie's sarcasm, and is loyal, kind and unbearably male. He's also loaded, which is always a plus.

The chemistry between Jackie and Vincent is hot, hot, and more hot!! There was no way that I could not love this story. It is sexy and laugh-out-loud funny, while having a great plot and phenomenal secondary characters. I'm very happy to report that Ms. Sands also left the ending wide open for a whole slew of sequels with a bunch of gorgeous vampires, and I fully intend to be first in line to grab them all.
