I didn’t think I could love a vampire more than Logan in book one but Vincent has stole my heart. He was such a sweet, honorable vampire but seriously sexy. Mila was a cute and quirky girl who finds herself in a bit of trouble and Vincent swoops in to save her and their chemistry is off the charts. They try to fight their attraction but we all know that usually doesn’t last long and boy they got hot and steamy. This story was just as good if not better than the first book and I love the way the author has her own take on vampires. Now off to read about Ronin. ( )

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS is the second book in the Bite Night series. If you have not read the first book in the series, don’t worry. This can be read as a standalone.

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS is a story about Mila Hart. Mila has been unlucky in love. For some reason she always seemed to date losers. Her last boyfriend of two years was married with two kids. Something she was unaware of while they were dating. Hence, the reason why she broke up with him. Wanting to try something different, Mila decides to sign up for V-Date, a vampire dating site. Since she was having bad luck with human men, Mila thought maybe her luck would change for the better dating a vampire. Unfortunately, luck is not on her side. The first vampire she meets tries to kill her. She is saved in the nick of time by Inspector Vincent Ferrer.

Vincent Ferrer is hot on the trail of a vampire serial killer. The latest tip leads him to an alley where the killer is about to sink his fangs into Mila. Vincent can’t help but to feel an attraction to Mila. Something that scares him to the very core. She is a witness and he is a professional. Vincent knows he should act like a professional while around her, but he just can’t help the sexual attraction that springs up every time he is near her. When the killer breaks into Mila’s home, leaving her a dead rat, Vincent knows the only way to protect her is to keep her with him. This is where the fun begins.

I really loved Mila and Vincent. Their laugh out loud moments really made this story for me. Sure, she is targeted by a serial killer, but Mila, although scared, didn’t lose her upbeat personality. She is definitely a talker and babbles (a lot!) The babbling is actually what I loved about Mila. I loved how she described Vincent as Mr Hottie, Inspector Vampire and how she thought she died and gone to heaven the first time she saw Vincent when he rescued her in the alley. Vincent on the other hand is definitely a gentleman through and through. He instantly feels an attraction to Mila, but she is a witness and he knows he really should not get involved, but yet he could not stay away either. He tries to fight the attraction, but little by little he feels himself being sucked in (No pun intended!) to her charms.

All in all, I really enjoyed DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. It is a light-hearted and fun read. Juliet Lyons kept the story upbeat with a sprinkle of seriousness thrown in the mix. I loved the alternating POV between Mila and Vincent as you were able to get inside both of their heads learning more about them as individuals. I can honestly say that Juliet Lyons is now on my radar and I will be happily purchasing more of her books in the future. ( )

This was a different take on how a vampire-human relationship drama can happen in an urban fantasy novel. Most books have that typical male vampire in a romance book who is always brooding around, or resistant to the relationship. This was different because this is a man with feelings. He has a past that has left him "emotionally wounded" so he doesn't form attachments. That ordinary, but he has aged beyond and is aware of these issues.

So Vincent is like a cop in a modern time when people know about vampires and it seems like he really isn't an actual copy and he's like a helper. One thing I didn’t like about this confusing "job position" he has is because it seems like the humans were always able to keep up, or do just as good as him. It's not bad just different, and I didn't like that. So I don't like his job, but I like him as an individual.

Mila was an interesting character to read. She had humor, she felt naïve, but just was also strong in the sense that "Life ain't gonna keep her down." She becomes a witness after she is almost killed by a psycho vamp that she meets on some V-date site.

Vincent is the one who ends up saving her just in time from the killer. Then things get complicated as the two fight their mutual attraction towards one another. ( )
