I love to sink my teeth into a paranormal romance. I am a sucker for the dark, dangerous, sexy characters, and the life (undead or not) that they live. I believe as a fellow paranormal romance junkie, we demand a well written world of vampires and shape-shifters. Weave in some well placed magic and we are instantly intrigued. Between the well written characters and intriguing storyline, Lover’s Bite by Maggie Shayne delivers on all accounts.

How do you feel if someone that suppose to love you, abandon you? Hurt and unloved.

The first 12 were really great. I loved the story lines and then 13 came about and I gave it a go. It seems like these last 3 that are dealing with another group of people are written in a completely different format and it's hard when at the end there doesnt' seem to be a real closure to the relationships. It would be better if they all had their own stories instead of throwing in a chapter or two here and there dealing with the intimacies of other couples and not really giving a conculsion to...more
Reaper and his misfit gang are back. Lover's Bite focuses on Topaz and Jack Heart who have the definition of a love/hate relationship. The gang have to split up in this one - for Reaper's sake, so he wont be dragged back into the CIA. They are in groups - Topaz and Jack, Seth and Vixen, Roxy and Illyana and Reaper and Briar.
But of course, everything does not run smoothly, as the CIA seem to have a fair idea of where Reaper is, albeit always a few steps behind. One of the gang appears to be tipp...more

The gang is back... Reaper, Topaz, Jack, Roxy, Seth, Vixen and IIyana. They are still on the hunt for Gregor and his crew of vampires. Mean while there is also tension on the home front between Topaz and Jack. Before Jack joined up with Reaper, he was part of Gregor’s gang. He didn’t care about anyone or anything. When Topaz first met Jack she fell hard for him, which is just how Jack liked it. He had Topaz just where he wanted her eating out of the palm of his hand and than he took off with her...more
Best Wings book Ever!
Oh lordy, did I ever enjoy this one! Out of all of them, IMO, this one’s tops.
In the last book, you get the sense that Topaz is the spoiled, rich girl. This one may begin that way, but you quickly find out that it’s far from the truth. Topaz isn’t some spoiled brat, a rich girl that everyone else gets the sense of, but rather a sad, lonely, confused woman who feels cheated and unlovable. There’s a depth to her anguish that has the reader sympathizing with her completely.

3.5 to 4 stars. There were parts of this I liked and parts I didn't. The beginning was quite a bit slow but it did start to pick up about a quarter of the way into the book. It was a bit predictable in parts but still enjoyable. The ending was a bit abrupt. Even though, we will see more of this couple in the next book I would still have liked an epilogue.

I didn't realize this was part of a series, I really want to read the ones before because I was definitely out of it for the first 50 pages during some of the references. I liked Topaz and Gregor, it was completely predictable and this is really a 3 1/2, but I didn't want to put it down and I was completely entertained so I think it is a success!
I love a good paranormal, but Maggie Shayne's paranormals just aren't that great. Not enough description to get a good mental picture of characters and such. Also, this had WAY too many cliches. Try to come up with something more unique next time Ms. Shayne.
Book 14 in the Wings in the Night series
This is the continuing story of “the gang,” following “Demon’s Kiss.” This is the story of Topaz and Jack. I was not the interested in these two characters, so I thought that I would not enjoy it that much. But, I was wrong. It was a fun fast read! Topaz and Jack try to find out who her father is… however, that’s not all (but I won’t spoil the story for you, you’ll just have to read it!). Towards the end of the book we have a short visit from a character f...more

I couldn't finish it. I read about half and was confused and bored, I stopped reading it.
the shady government agency continues to run down Reaper and his gang.
I loved this book and can't wait to read all of the wings of the night series!
This book focused on Topaz and Jack. It was a good read - not great, but good.
Great Book !! Loved every bit of it.
I don't think I'm going to read anymore of Maggie Shayne-she's kindof like Nora Roberts with a vampire twist.

This is a book about two vampires. Jack is a con man/vampire who steals money from Topaz. Topaz is trying to find out who murdered her mother years ago. I found the romance in the book lacking. It read more like a murder mystery. Jack was playing the "fence" too much for me. I did not really find there was chemistry between the two main characters.
I really enjoyed the first book in this series and as I read this one I often wondered if it was written by the same person! Maggie did tie up a few loose strings from the previous book, but it was missing something. That something I can't quite figure out. Here's hoping the third book finishes the job and doesn't disapoint.

This was such a fun read.
I really like Maggie Shayne's writing style.
I didn't realise this was the 14th book in the series *oops*
I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of them :)

Meh. Not my favorite. Very predictable and boring. I will hang in there and finish the series, but I will most definitely get them from the library and not purchase.

this book was terrible and it didnt have closure to all that events that contributed to the main characters ordeal. dont bother with this one!
This is really funny and jack comes across a total dick and heartbreaker. Great twist and nice HEA.
This one is not as busy as the first one. It focuses more on one couple and is alot better for it.
This was okay. I like Maggie Shayne's style of writing but the whole angst was a bit over the top.
Some annoying characters and some interesting. Basic entertainment.
