Publisher's summary

I used to think that my life was boring. I resigned myself to the rut I was stuck in. Then my entire existence was turned upside down.

In the last six months, I’ve learned things that would get me committed to an asylum if I repeated them. First, I was kidnapped by vampires. Yes, vampires. Sounds crazy, right? My best friend, Donna, became one of the fanged after that little adventure and hooked up with a hot, Scottish vampire named Conner. They’re even planning a wedding.

Secondly, I learned not all vampires are evil. In fact, some of them are downright sexy.

Alexander Dimitriades has it all. He’s tall, dark, and handsome and manages to give me tingles in all the right place and also make me laugh. Unfortunately, to be with him, I would have to give up my humanity and I like being human. Then, there’s the fact that the whole drinking blood thing gives me the heebie jeebies.

To make matters worse, there are plans in motion to change the place vampires hold in the human world. And I’m caught in the middle, between the vampire I’m falling in love with and a group that wants to create a vampire dictatorship, with humans as slaves.

Now, all I want is my calm, normal life back. As my friend, Ricki, likes to say, “Be careful what you wish for because it might come and bite you on the ass.” I hate it when she’s right.

This work contains BDSM elements/themes, spanking, bondage, anal play, and a bossy, persistent Greek vampire.

loved this book!

I have to say I didn't listen to the first book in the series so I was missing few peices of information but there was a bit of a recap in the beginning of the story! I enjoyed this book so much and loved how the vampires were portrayed there is also a bit of BDSM which personally for me sparked my interest lol 😆 it was beautifully narrorated by Ri Paige she has the most lovely voice 😊 ❤

A Great Vampire Romance

I liked this vampire paranormal romance audiobook. it was fast paced, action-packed steamy romance about evil versus good vampires. This Ivy and Lex's love story. Narrator Ri Paige was wonderful with the delivery.

twilight meets 50 shades

I'm not sure if I would like this audiobook more if I had listened to the 1st book, and if there was a male narrator adding that bit of something I felt it needed. This is my first time listening to Ri Paige and I enjoyed her narration and think she did a good job but I think the audio would've benefited with a male counterpart.
As for the book, it's got a 'Twlight meets 50 shades' vibe to it but I think it missed the mark on the bdsm aspect.
Ivy is Donna's BFF and I believe this book probably picks up right after book 1. Ivy(and Donna) were kidnapped and tortured by a vampire which leaves Ivy a bit traumatized. She ends up moving in with Donna and Connor and Lex is immediately attracted to her.
There's a lot of back and forth drama between them in the midst of more vampires looking to finish off Ivy.
I may go back to book one just to see if my opinion changes after listening to that one.
I do like how the author set up for book 2!

First Class Vampire Romantic Suspense!

Ivy hasn’t had an easy run, what with being previously kidnapped by nefarious vampires … After all she has been through, the last thing she wants is to get involved in any way with those that bite…. Alexander “Lex” Dimitriades is tall, dark, handsome and, yep, you guessed it, one very dominant Vampire. He has also decided that Ivy will be his. Ivy, of course isn’t down with it… Then there are those nefarious vampires still hanging about… So, let the games begin! Once Bitten, Twice Shy is an absolute delight! The writing is fabulous and features dialogue that is laugh out loud funny with plenty of sarcasm, wit, and sass, all brought to life by fantastic narration. This one really held my interest with a nice balance of mystery, action and searing heat with a BDSM vibe. Though part of a series, enough backstory is provided for this one to easily stand alone. I inadvertently listened to the books out of order and had no issue understanding or following the story. I loved everything about it!

Book2

The story was good but I was a bit lost at first. I think *I* needed to have read Book 1 first to enjoy this one better. World building is critical to PNR IMO. The BDSM parts seemed extra to me. Not necessarily fitting into the story.

The narrator fit the part well. Young voice voicing a first person narrative. She did a good job with the story and emotions. I enjoyed her performance. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

solid performance

this book delivers pretty well as a second installment. It give us more of what we liked from the first book. Lots of interpersonal control play and some bdsm. The main character is likable and smart, unlike some mcs in the genre.
