I really enjoyed Bite Me. It's been a while since a vampire paranormal has sucked me in as well as this one did. We first meet Donna who is a waitress working nights at a bar. She was previously an advertising executive, but lost her job when she accused her boss of embezzlement. I liked the fact that she moved on, worked hard and didn't have a "woe-is-me" mentality. She notices a very sexy man in the bar one night who later becomes her rescuer when she is attacked. Her rescuer is none other than...Conner Savage, smooth talking Scottish man, businessman and a vampire.
Conner's single minded determination to make Donna his made me smile. Unfortunately, Donna is a little hard to convince. We see a sizzling hot connection between the characters which gets stronger as they get to know each other. Donna hates that most of the myths and tales about vampires are not true and wants to know everything straight away. I loved reading Conner's frustration and Donna's stubbornness in getting her to follow the rules.
I know it's hard for authors to come up with new ideas, but I did drop a star because most of it I had read before in other stories. Don't know who wrote it first, but it still felt very formulaic. C.C. Wood does a wonderful job of making her characters real. This is the sort of story where I start to think....maybe it is all real?
Overall really enjoyed Bite Me and I will definitely be reading more in this series.
