  <description><![CDATA[Sarah Dearly has had a bad date. What else would you call being buried alive before dessert? Not to mention that bite mark on her neck, and the creepy way her date keeps saying that he-s sired her. Then those guys with the stakes show up and turn her date into so much dust! Sarah runs for her life, only to be rescued by a tall, dark, and handsome stranger. Sure, she interrupts him as he-s about to throw himself off a bridge - but as far as rescuers go, Thierry de Bennicoeur will have to do. Only problem is their age difference. He-s a six-hundred-year-old vamp with a death wish. She-s a new kid on the block with a need for someone with experience to show her the ropes. And to keep her one step ahead from the vampire hunters that are in town to rid Toronto of the -monsters-. Sarah doesn-t know what to make of all this. Sure, she-s got a healthy hankering for blood lately, but she doesn-t feel like a monster. Just an unemployed girl looking for love. Even if the object of her affection-Thierry-can-t go out in the sun for very long.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Thierry seemed like a bland stock character.  He's a dark, mysterious, sexy, perfect little vampire that broods a lot.  Nothing new there.  The thing that really drove the story was the narration from the main character, Sarah, who continuously provided readers with little quips and funny narration ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64486397">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Sarah Dearly has had a bad date. What else would you call being buried alive before dessert? Not to mention that bite mark on her neck, and the creepy way her date keeps saying that he’s sired her. Then those guys with the stakes show up and turn her date into so much dust!  Sarah runs for her life, only to be rescued by a tall, dark, and handsome stranger. Sure, she interrupts him as he’s about to throw himself off a bridge – but as far as rescuers go, Thierry de Bennicoeur will have to do. Only problem is their age difference. He’s a six-hundred-year-old vamp with a death wish. She’s a new kid on the block with a need for someone with experience to show her the ropes. And to keep her one step ahead from the vampire hunters that are in town to rid Toronto of the ‘monsters’.  Sarah doesn’t know what to make of all this. Sure, she’s got a healthy hankering for blood lately, but she doesn’t feel like a monster. Just an unemployed girl looking for love. Even if the object of her affection—Thierry—can’t go out in the sun for very long.]]>

I got the teensiest bit annoyed with the heroine by the end of the book, but that could just be because the love triangle didn’t work out the way I wanted it to.

    <body><![CDATA[Bitten and Smitten is a wonderfully written vampire book taken from the vamps pov.  Who knew they were so nice?  Humor, romance, excitement and a little blood -- but it is about vampires, after all!<br/><br/>A great book by Michelle Rowen.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Sarah Dearly has had a bad date. What else would you call being buried alive before dessert? Not to mention that bite mark on her neck, and the creepy way her date keeps saying that he’s sired her. Then those guys with the stakes show up and turn her date into so much dust!  Sarah runs for her life, only to be rescued by a tall, dark, and handsome stranger. Sure, she interrupts him as he’s about to throw himself off a bridge – but as far as rescuers go, Thierry de Bennicoeur will have to do. Only problem is their age difference. He’s a six-hundred-year-old vamp with a death wish. She’s a new kid on the block with a need for someone with experience to show her the ropes. And to keep her one step ahead from the vampire hunters that are in town to rid Toronto of the ‘monsters’.  Sarah doesn’t know what to make of all this. Sure, she’s got a healthy hankering for blood lately, but she doesn’t feel like a monster. Just an unemployed girl looking for love. Even if the object of her affection—Thierry—can’t go out in the sun for very long.]]>
