I liked this one about the same as the last one.

The start and end of these books are always great, but the middle is a little wishy washy.

I enjoyed Vincent immensely, even with the whole (view spoiler) things that were going on.

Not only did she want Vincent's kisses, she wanted his heart. She did not want or need to go to London to find the man she would love and marry. She'd already found him.

This book was charming and cute, but I preferred Book One in this series, Bite Me, Your Grace.

Vincent Tremayne, Earl of Deveril, is rumored to be a madman. Reclusive and mysterious, he rarely ventures out into Society. But all that changes when 20-year-old American Lydia Price is thrown into his path. Orphaned and alone in the wo ...more

Two phrases come to mind when I think about this book.

1)Delightfully campy
2)Charmingly cheesy.

I mean both of these in the best way. I didn't particularly enjoy the other books in this series. I think it was because I wasn't sure what to expect and I approached them with a little more seriousness than I should have. This time I was in the mood for the ridiculous and adorable. I compare it to be being in the mood for an HR that is dark, depressing, and angsty (The first thing that comes to mind is The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne. That was quite a dark and heartbreaking HR) and being in the mood for a fluffy favorite of mine like When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare. One deals with deeply scarred people finding each other and dealing with trauma and the other is two people who find each other that also end up searching a castle for two escaped pet lobsters named Fluffy and Rex. Well, last night I wanted Fluffy and Rex. So, I really enjoyed this book.

Vincent Tremayne is your quintessential brooding reclusive vampire. He lives in a dark castle, he's incredibly handsome, filthy rich, grumpy, dangerous, and filled with guilt. When the Dowager Countess of Morley shows up at said gloomy castle asking him to honor a friendship between their families that's existed for years by taking her granddaughter as a ward (well, asking is a kind word. More like, "do this or she goes to an asylum" type of thing), Vincent agrees. When he meets Lydia Price, he wants her immediately. He realizes there can be nothing between them because he is a vampire, she is mortal. Besides the fact that it is against their laws for mortals to know about vampires, he really doesn't want to watch her die of old age. So Vincent makes sure she has a massive dowry and goes about getting Lydia set up for a successful season so that she can marry and be off his hands so his secret will be safe and she'll be happy. This is all well and good except for the fact that Lydia is immediately drawn to him as well. She is curious about his odd behaviors of course. He gets "headaches" during that day that keep locked away upstairs. He has odd hours. Takes very long nighttime walks, you know, all that stuff. Lydia falls in love with him, which makes husband hunting difficult. Unlike a lot of HRs, Lydia is pretty single minded. She wants him, doesn't really hide that she wants him, and has no interest in her suitors. From then on there is a lot of vampire politics and Vincent ends up having to make a split decision that will change both of their lives forever.

Lydia was a great heroine. She was a brilliant painter, which is a major part of the plot, and I loved how supportive Vincent was. She was smart, although she did have moments. I'm not really a fan of the whole "eavesdrop only a portion of a conversation so that I can misinterpret the conversation" thing. It just seems a little lazy.

I liked Vincent but I wish there had been more about him before he met Lydia. I have read the first book, but I don't remember much about him in it (I wasn't too fond of the first book). I wish there had been some kind of interaction between him and another vampire before he meets Lydia to show the transformation in Vincent caused by Lydia's presence in his life. Just a few pages, nothing major. It still worked, but it could have been better.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. The romance was sweet and it wasn't a very angsty/stressful read. I like that these books don't take themselves too seriously. In each of these books, the author adds something historically accurate as a plot point, however minor, which I think is great. I always learn a little something. I happen to absolutely love HRs with any kind of paranormal in it and as it isn't a large genre, I'm always excited to find a book like this. ...more

What a sweet read!

I really enjoyed this book, even more than the first.

Lydia was very sweet and I really liked how she had her priorities straight with the luggage she brought with her from America – one suitcase was for her canvases, one for books, and she had another one for her gun collection. A very interesting woman.

Lydia was a good heroine, though I'm a bit torn about her. On one hand, I liked that she was strong and independently-minded. She had a unique view on things that brought a lot of freshness to the story. On the other hand, she was waaaaay too impulsive, in a way that often had her getting into stupid (and dangerous) situations and unable to handle to consequences. It was alright the first couple of times, but it came to be a habit with her. Overall, though, I liked her fine.

On that note, it seemed really odd how unconcerned about propriety the characters were. I know we're talking about a collection of vampires and an American girl, but it was to the point that it felt inconsistent with the time period. It kept me from diving into the story completely, because I would stop and question if what the characters were doing was okay within the time period (the answer was often no).

On the brighter side, Vincent was a total sweetie. I loved how dedicated he was, not only to the vampires he had responsibility for, but to Lydia and her well-being. He was wonderful and I adored him.

The romance was lovely. Lydia and Vincent were sweet together. I liked how, from the moment they met, they clicked and there was never any doubt about their feelings (even if they weren't great about articulating them). And, the chemistry between them was hot and it led to some very steamy scenes. I thought they were a wonderful couple.

The plot was well paced and I was kept interested the entire way through. I really enjoyed the story and the ending was lovely.

One Bite Per Night was a wonderful historical/paranormal romance. I really liked this book. It blended vampires and a historical setting in a way that created a lovely story. Romance lovers, this is a book worth checking out.

While my taste for sexy times in books is growing, the more traditional bodice rippers have really never done it for me. I like historical fiction and I like sex but that particular time period just isn’t my forte. Worlds of the ancients, yes. Regency era propriety? No. I’m not big on the traditional romance coming out of that time either, like Austen or the Bronte sisters so really, no surprise. It’s all a yawnfest for me, despite the sex.

I like historical fiction and I like sex but that particular time period just isn’t my forte. Worlds of the ancients, yes. Regency era propriety? No. I’m not big on the traditional romance coming out of that time either, like Austen or the Bronte sisters so really, no surprise. It’s all a yawnfest for me, despite the sex.

Until Laura found a hidden gem on NetGalley that I was in no position to deny. Regency-era bodice ripper. WITH VAMPIRES. Yes. Immediately, yes. Because vampires make ANYTHING better. The sexytimes escalate, the bodices get even more ripped. NOTHING BAD COULD COME OF THIS. I knew it in my heart of hearts.

Now this is my first Regency-era bodice ripper. I have nothing to compare it to. But I know my writings and I know my plots and I know what works for me and what doesn’t so lets go from there, shall we?

The second the book started I was reading it with an accent in my head that kind of sounded like Shelby Foote, well to-do person from the upper echelons of the south that have a more cultured drawl about them. That was the tone of the book for me. And it fit oh so well. The over the top level of propriety and gasp and SCANDAL was just ungodly amusing to me as I sat there reading it, squealing in delight at the moments of SHAME and FLUTTER and QUIVERING THIGHS. Clutch the pearls, ladies. It’s wonderful.

It was very much over the top in terms of writing style but it fit. The story was over the top, the situation was over the top, the gasping and lack of propriety was over the top but you know what? I couldn’t get over the top enough. The sexual tension between Lydia and Vincent was extravagant and I just wanted to scream DO IT ALREADY. I’m imagining this is indicative of writing within the confines of this era because that tension was drawn OUT until no one involved, including this reader, could take it anymore. FINALLY it happened and oh steamy thigh quivering it was phenomenal.

Although I have to say when I think of things springing out I think of maybe a Jack in the Box or snakes in a can. Not an erection. When those start springing out I start thinking boi-oi-oi-oi-oi-oi-ing and then the mood is momentarily ruined. There were a couple of other instances were body parts were getting a little too technically described and it kind of ebbed the hotness of the situation but certainly not enough for me to stop reading. Never that.

I was engrossed in the scandal of the familially spurned Lydia, rejected pariah of the Morley family getting shunted on this Devil Earl and becoming a pawn in a competitive game of marriage. I was hooked by Vincent’s rather emo-Louis plight of being a vampire and the night world he lived in with Angelica and Ian, two rather incredibly awesome vampires that I need to read more about in book one of this series immediately. I wanted more sneakiness from some of the characters that would otherwise prove to be as straight-laced as they come. Oh the surprises!

I do wish there was a bit more focus on the vampire actions, though. That seems to be very much skirted over and left to the imagination. I don’t necessarily mind in this instance because I was so incredibly entertained otherwise but I usually like to see more vampireness where vampires are concerned. Although Vincent’s vampire powers were used quite often when he needed them.

I have found a new love in ONE BITE PER NIGHT and Brooklyn Ann’s work. I can’t wait to get my greedy little hands on more of it.

He knows if he touches her he will only want her for himself which is dangerous; because he would never have her live as he does. When he takes her to London, to find a husband, he keeps putting off his responsibilities, and refuses to admit fully his desire for this woman who has won his heart. But can he let her marry another man or will he be able to bring her into his world and keep her...

One Bite Per Night is a FANTASTIC romance and I couldn't put this one down. It was phenomenal and I loved every moment. This just might be one of my favorite paranormal romances I have read this year, and I know this review won't do this story any justice. I hope I can put into words how much I loved this story. It definitely pulled me right in, and the connection between Vincent and Lydia is powerful and intense.

The story starts with humor and witty come backs, and the you fall in love with the characters immediately. Vincent is a awesome hero....I could just kiss him all over I adored him so much. He is honorable, does have some issues thinking he is evil and all that, but he cares about others, and he is so sweet and protective with Lydia, you can't help but be charmed by his manner. Lydia is strong and courageous, and doesn't mind chasing the man she wants, even if that man tries to run at times from her. Lydia is strong willed and passionate about everything in her life, and will only settle for true love. I felt like I could relate to her in so many ways, and when a heroine is written well in the story it just adds a extra deep layer to that dessert. I truly loved the other characters as well, and it made me want to buy the first book because I truly admired this author's storytelling abilities and to draw you into a story like a bee to honey, and will captivate your attention until the very last page.

Overall a charming romance, set in a historical period, with paranormal elements, and a mixture of humor, adventure, and complexities that blend in with the plot in a way that will have you head over heels in love. Swift moving and utterly mesmerizing!!! A story with a fresh voice and stunning descriptions. DELIVERS ALL THE WAY!! ...more

One may worry that with the combination of historical and paranormal romance, that Ann would do neither well, but instead, she excels at both, with a wonderful story and world I can’t wait to revisit.

One aspect I loved about ONE BITE PER NIGHT is there wasn’t lots of harping on Vincent’s age compared to Lydia’s. She didn’t seem to feel the insecurity that plagues so many heroines in similar novels about how could he like her of all people, when he’s how old again? That plotline as a way of keeping the hero and heroine apart is getting old, and I appreciated that it didn’t make an appearance. Rather, there were other obstacles to Lydia and Vincent’s relationship, not all of them inside one character’s head. Though at times the situations that Lydia and Vincent find themselves in seem very contrived, it’s the same way that most historical romances tend to seem a bit contrived.

The influence Ann claims to receive from Regency historical romances is obvious, but she still maintains an originality and freshness. I felt like the vampire aspects of the novel sometimes came second to the romance, which was lovely. Lydia and Vincent developed a lively friendship that was delightful to watch blossom, and counteracted any concerns of instalove that may have come up. The secondary characters were fun as well, with the scheming, matchmaking chaperone, and the fun, recently made vampire Angelical, who you may recognize from BITE ME, YOUR GRACE.

All in all, ONE BITE PER NIGHT is a fun, escapist read. With the simmering sexual tension between the leads, and the interesting aspects of vampires in historical England, I can almost overlook any possible ridiculous situations. If you’re a fan of historical romance, ONE BITE PER NIGHT is for you, as you’ll feel right at home her. And those of you who love paranormal romance will like the aspects of the vampire world Ann has created. With a little something for everybody, ONE BITE PER NIGHT is a winner.

I loved last years book and first in the series "Bite Me, Your Grace." It is on the list of my favorite books for 2013. This years follow up book " One Bite Per Night " does not disappoint.
After the death of her parents, Lydia Price is sent to England to live with her grandmother, a dowager countess. Unfortunately, her grandmother wants nothing to do with her as her father committed the great sin of marrying for love instead of title. She disinherited her son and he settled happily in New Orleans with his merchant's daughter bride. Lydia was born a year or two later knowing she was loved by both parents and she is encouraged to pursue her love of painting. She is shocked and hurt that her relatives want nothing to do with her and that she will be the ward of Vincent Tremayne who is honoring a favor from a past friendship with one of the Morleys. Little does anyone know that Vincent is the Lord Vampire of Cornwall.
Vincent doesn't know what to make of the feisty American girl who ends up in his home under his protection. He hires a chaperone to help Lydia find her way in society with a season among the wealthy Ton, the cream of society. Although falling for her, Vincent hopes to marry Lydia off so that she doesn't discover his dark secret. He enlists the help of The Lord Vampire of London and his wife from the previous book, Ian and Angelica.
There is no denying the spark between Vincent and Lydia, but their are rules even among vampire society and a future for them looks bleak. You really care for Vincent, he is living a lonely life and the free-spirited Lydia gives him a reason to feel alive again.
Besides the romance of the H/h their is also the good friendship that starts between the two women, Lydia and Angelica who are strong, brave, headstrong, (and for Lydia impulsive) women who at times question the hypocritical world of rich society. They are two peas in a pod, each with talent who wish for careers doing something they love in a man's world, painting for Lydia and writing for Angelica. Together they get into mischief and drive their true loves crazy.
This story is a great blend of humor and charm with a dash of danger. I highly recommend this story for historical fans who love their stories with a little bite.

Whilst undergoing rigorous preparation for her debut amongst the Ton Lydia realises that it's Vincent himself to whom she feels drawn but he is an unknown quantity that mystifies Lydia. When they travel to London Lydia is a roaring success but her heart is already taken by the somewhat distant Vincent but all is not as it seems and Lydia plunges headlong into danger !
I'm not really sure about this story if honest. It's not a dark or gothic romance although these vampires do have powerful abilities and Vincent is such an upstanding hero that it's impossible not to like him but I wasn't really convinced about the vampire world . It just didn't feel gritty enough to me and I felt it was quite a light take on vampires. The heroine Lydia has been raised in America and in comparison to English girls is quite liberated and independent . I liked that about her and it made me smile but at times I did wonder if maybe the author had made her a little too forward thinking as this is an historical romance and not a contemporary one. They certainly have chemistry and the oh so noble Vincent was a complete revelation as the storyline picked up and events occurred as the plot progressed . It wasn't exactly what I expected and unfortunately some things felt a little predictable to me but it is well written and held my attention so I would certainly try something else by this new to be author . ...more

One Bite Per Night starts out very good but somehow it gets muddled with too many scenarios like the Siddon Vampire sisters who have their own issues. The story between Lydia and her Grandmother did not quite work for me.
One Bite per night is a good story. However I do think Bite Me Your Grace Bk.1 was a lot better. Ian and Angelica are very much a part of bk 2. Its about a young lady her father was an Earl but he married below himself and went to America, and settled in New Orleans. The Yellow One Bite Per Night starts out very good but somehow it gets muddled with too many scenarios like the Siddon Vampire sisters who have their own issues. The story between Lydia and her Grandmother did not quite work for me.
One Bite per night is a good story. However I do think Bite Me Your Grace Bk.1 was a lot better. Ian and Angelica are very much a part of bk 2. Its about a young lady her father was an Earl but he married below himself and went to America, and settled in New Orleans. The Yellow fever brakes out in the city and Lydia's parents died. Lydia thinks she is being sent back to her grandmother in England but the grandmother doesn't want her. She is a mean evil B. So the Grandmother ask the Earl of Deveril Vincent to honor their long standing family pledge to help each other out. So he takes Miss Lydia Price as his ward. Of course he is a Vampire and he falls in love with his Ward. The things I had problems with is Lydia was call Miss Price and not Lady Lydia her father was the Earl of Worley but somehow the Grandmother the Dowager Countess had control of everything She refuses to except his wife and his daughter. The Earl leaves England with his lowborn wife a merchants daughter to come to America. Why? He was the Earl of Morley His mother should not have had control over everything. Lydia should have been called Lady not Miss. These scenarios didn't make sense. She was the Dowager Countess and her son was the Earl no matter what. She should not have had so much power over the lands and the title. Also, Lydia was born an raised in American. Her father could have left her all his money and she would have been an heiress. Women could inherit in American, so that didn't make sense. But on the Whole I liked the story and the characters Lydia was written very American and I loved her English Chaperon Ms. Hobson. She was hired by the Earl to teach her polite English society for her Come Out and presentation to the King. The other thing that bother me was that a person just comes out of nowhere and slits her throat Why did he do that? Of course it leads to Lydia being transformed into a Vampire. More needed to be explored on why she was attacked. Did the grandmother hire him to kill Lydia. She certainly hated her enough. The story could have easily been a 5 star book if it didn't have so many loose ends and scenarios that didn't fit the storyline. ...more

That was a fun read! I liked both Vincent and Lydia right away. This author is a genius when describing scenes and emotions. I was emotionally startled when Lydia's painting of a sunset was described and Vincent, being a vampire and not having seen a sunset or sunrise in centuries, was brought to tears by the depiction. The set-up for the third book is irresistible.

The hero and heroine of book one are the supporting cast. Angelica (book 1) is a writer, Lydia (book2) is a painter and together wit ...more

Overall enjoyable! The beginning started out really good, then I lost interest more than halfway through. I just couldn't seem to pick it up after that. Lydia and Vincent had good chemistry together. I also liked the Siddons sisters as well. ...more

Quotes from One Bite Per Night

“Tell me more about Makepeace.” Miss Hobson continued to smile. “He is forty-five, his income is twenty thousand per annum, and he sits a horse well.” “He is too old,” Vincent declared. “What of Threshbury?” The chaperone blinked. “Well, his title is certainly the highest, his income is twenty-three thousand, and he is only thirty-two.” Vincent frowned, though the information should please him. “He sounds like a paragon. Pray tell, does he have any faults?” “Well, he does possess two mistresses. Such is common among gentlemen. Perhaps he will pension one off after he weds.” Miss Hobson lost her cheery tone and avoided his gaze. “I won’t have Lydia wed to a lecher,” he snapped. “What do you know of the viscount?” Miss Hobson lifted her chin and replied with a hint of defiance. “He is twenty-three and fond of art. All accounts say he is a proper gentleman, and his income is more than acceptable at fifteen thousand. He and Miss Price seemed to get on well at her ball and at Almack’s.” “He is too young,” Vincent retorted. The conversation seemed to be like a snare, closing around him tighter with every word. “I am going to White’s for a pint. This damn house reeks of flowers.” An” — 0 likes

“The room was suddenly too hot, and the walls seemed to be closing in around her. She had to get away, to get fresh air, before she screamed. “Please, excuse me,” Lydia said before fleeing. *** “Well,” Ian drawled, leaning back in his chair. “That went well.” Vincent ignored him and turned to Miss Hobson with an icy glare. “You did inform Lydia that she is to wed, did you not?” The woman’s chin lifted in a vain attempt to hide her anxiety. “I’d assumed she understood her responsibility as a young lady of noble birth.” Her voice quavered defensively. “She’d spoken of having a Season in New Orleans. How was I to know things may have been different there?” Vincent cursed as the matter became clear. “Because her father failed to perform his responsibility to Society when he married for love… Bloody hell, I should have known!” “Vincent.” The duke’s voice was implacable. “My wife will not sponsor the young woman if she is not willing.” Miss Hobson sighed. “Surely she could not expect something so fanciful as love.” Vincent ignored the chaperone and faced Ian. “I am certain we can persuade Miss Price to see reason. She has been receptive to all other aspects of taking her place in Society.” Ian swirled the brandy in the glass before giving a slight nod. “No doubt her grief remains for the loss of her parents.” Miss Hobson nodded. “A reasonable assumption, Your Grace. I’m certain she’ll collect herself after a while and be down soon.” Ten” — 0 likes
