Review: Bite - C.J. Primer

bite: a dark modern vampire romance by C.J. Primer
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Bite by C.J. Primer is a dark, modern vampire romance. Taylor is the main female character who is having a hard time with life at the moment. Having lost her job, savings and on the verge of losing her apartment, something has to give. That’s when her friend gives her a business card to a vampire donor agency, a place where you literally are paid to feed vampires. She’s matched with a few other vampires until she is matched with sophisticated and sexy James, a King amongst vampires who is instantly attracted to Taylor and wants her for his own. 

This is definitely a dark romance with some very spicy scenes. I like that the characters like each other, even though Taylor is struggling, she is still a strong character that sticks to her principals and isn’t pushed into anything. She is instantly attracted to James but is also intrigued with him which goes both ways.  

I also enjoyed the intriguing twist that James has when it comes to Taylor’s blood and that he will stop at nothing to figure out the answer. It doesn’t hurt that he is easy on the eyes and mesmerising at the same time )especially from Taylor’s perspective).

Overall, this is a really good, dark, gothic, spicy read with a few twist and turns to keep you guessing.

Finnian “Apollo” Reins met Dru Noel Rossi at his lowest.

She was a bright ray of sunshine in his darkest, cloudiest night.

He had no clue that he needed her. He was just struggling to keep his head above water, going from day to day, waiting for it to be his time to go.

But then she catches his eye in the swankiest restaurant in Washington DC. She’s wearing all black and sticks out like a sore thumb among the elitists’ otherwise dressiest affairs. She may have been severely underdressed, but that didn’t stop Finnian from following her every move and becoming obsessed.

So of course, when she leaves, he follows her. And wouldn’t you know it, she goes right back to his hometown.

But that’s not the first coincidence between the otherwise complete opposites. It’s just a long line of chance encounters that force them together, time and time again, and show them what they’re missing.

She’s the sweetest thing he’s ever met, and understandably, is hesitant to get anywhere near a Truth Teller like him.
The Truth Tellers MC got their hard, terrifying reputations for a reason.

But Finnian wears her down with his charm, while showing her what it’s like to be with someone that won’t hesitate to take out the entire world as long as it makes her smile.

He has to have her in his life, and he’ll do just about anything to make that happen. A little light stalking, financial blackmail and forced proximity never hurt anybody.

Review: Forced Proximity - Lani Lynn Vale

Forced Proximity by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Forced Proximity is book 7 in the Content Advisory by Lani Lynn Vale and boy is it a good one. The book focuses on Apollo and Dru, both who have their own baggage and have been through their own heartbreak, no more so than Apollo who has lost his son Tavi and who is finding it difficult to move forward, that is until he meets Dru, a woman with her plan to help her slightly psychotic sister who becomes obsessed with men, think stalking and you’re not even close!

These two come together in the most unfortunate circumstances and from there they are inseparable as they navigate their relationship, and everything thrown in between. Apollo is such a good guy, and he is a perfect fit for Dru, even with their baggage. I really liked Dru as a character too, she is the perfect fit for Apollo, both vulnerable and strong with a wicked sense of humour!

Like the rest of this series, there are some fun times, hard times, sexy times and everything in between as the two characters navigate being together whilst people and circumstances try and get in the way. This is a spicy and fun read and a great addition to the series.
