Holy water and sunlight don’t scare Robin, but the mere thought of going to the dentist sets her fangs on edge. Good thing vampire teeth are indestructible…or so she thinks—until a night of passion with her girlfriend, Alana, has unexpected consequences.
Jae is the author of twenty-six award-winning romances between women. She lives in the sunniest city of Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven.
She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.
When she’s not writing, she is an avid reader of sapphic books, indulges her ice cream and office supply addictions, and watches way too many crime shows.
During a night of erotic fun, Robin-the-vampire 'chips' her tooth on Alana-the-former-djin. Vampire teeth are supposed to be basically unbreakable (Alana retains some djin power, which includes something like a shield, which is like a laser). So Robin's kind of in a unique situation here - how does she fix her quite painfully throbbing tooth?
After some search, Robin is directed to a 'Shelby', the 'weirdo' coyote shifter (and a psychiatrist with knowledge of medical community). Shelby leads Robin to a dentist capable (as in not horrifying afraid) to deal with 'unusual patients'.
Interesting story. Nice vibe. I liked it. Wish it was longer. Want more time with Shelby and Perez-the-dentist.
This is just a fun little bonus story that takes place six months after "Good Enough to Eat".
The story starts out as erotic and then moves into comedy which was done really well. Robin chips one of her fangs but what is she to do? It's not like there's a wealth of vampire dentists in the world...or any at all.
Where she ultimately goes to get her fang fixed is a delightful scene where we meet a pretty extraordinary dentist.
Jae manages to capture the anxiety of a dental visit spot on and her ability to write nuance into a story really makes this one come to life.
A fun short story, set six months after the end of Good Enough to Eat. Vampire fangs don't get damaged. So how the heck would Robin explain needing a fang fixed after a night of passion? And more importantly - where can she find a dentist willing to do it??
A short sequel. Here we have our Vamp in an accident that requires a Doctor's attention. This wasn't an arresting enough story for me but I did like the deduction of the Doctor to the supernatural.
This little short story was incredibly silly, but also a lot of fun. I mean, a vampire at the dentist? Not much to say about something this short. If you read the first novel then you should read this as well.
I loved 'Good Enough to Eat' so had to pick up this short story. A vampire having to go to the dentist. Too funny. And interesting ending for sure. Loved it. Great little read.
Six months after the events in Good Enough to Eat, Robin has been disowned by her clan, but her relationship with her girlfriend, Alana, continues to be strong and passionate. After a night of lovemaking, all is well - except for a chipped fang. Alana’s powers as an ex-djinn can’t heal it - but what kind of dentist would work with a vampire?
This is a fluffy short story with a lot of humor. I enjoyed having a taste, so to speak, of Robin and Alana’s relationship without the angst of the first novel.
I read this one simultaneously with the Shape Shifter sequels and I was sooo happy to find out more about Nyla's Grandmother!!
That was such a fun crossover, I love it when authors write crossovers like little easter eggs.
Also, there was one scene in 'Second Nature' (I think) where they are discussing magical creatures and someone says: "Vampires aren't real." and in this short story we hear from Shelby, that she is the only Wrasa knowing about Vampires.
as you start the book you expect the same energy you received while reading the previous book on the same storyline by the same author but this book don't do that much justice with expectations. its a light read for the readers who previously loved its predecessor book "good enough to eat"
This was a cute read. I am very much interested in reading the book that comes before it. I don’t think you have to have read Good Enough to Eat to appreciate this one.
I recently gave one star to two very short pieces of fluff - they bored the hell outta me and were essentially the same story twice told. So I wasn't expecting much from 'Coitus Interruptus Dentalis' particularly as it involves a visit to the dentist (for me the seventh circle of Hell!). Vampire Robin breaks a fang during the throes of orgasm - only problem is that there are no vampire dentists. When a substitute is found Robin behaves just like I do in the chair ... It's good fun - I liked it!
I had never thought about a vampire needing to go to the dentist. But this ccomedic novella tackled that. And Jae even brought in a very famous mythical being that takes teeth and leaves money behind! (I’ll leave it at that, as I’m sure you know who I’m talking about.). A well written novella. Now I’m just waiting fir the sequel!
4 stars. Robin cracks one of her fangs during sex and the adventure gets wackier from there. This was funny and a lot of fun to read. I love these characters and the ending had me cracking up at the reveal . Such an entertaining little story and I loved it.
What a fun short story. You definitely want to read "good enough to eat" before you read this to really appreciate what is going on. Um, who makes a dentist visit into a short story? I cringed just thinking about it, but since Jae wrote, I wanted to see this short story too. It was a fun read with a cameo from Jae's shape shifter series. There isn't a ton of spice, but there's a bit of comedy..
Enjoyable, factual as far as dentistry facts of the practice. Do not go for the vampire character, too unrealistic even for a work of fiction. But it was a quick read just like going to the dentist and wishing it were over with.
A cute short story about a vampire going to the dentist. It does help further build the world of The Vampire Diet but I would definitely recommend reading Good Enough to Eat first; Coitus Interruptus Dentalis really doesn't work as a stand-alone.
Love to see other character from other book like Shelby from shape-shifter series (series that i love). And Dr Perez is so interesting. Wished there is a book about her. Hahaha
This is funny and so cute. I like the idea of vampire-Robin having to go to the dentist due to an accident in the bedroom with Alana. Not to mention she does not like the idea of it at all, just like most mortals. Nice twist at the end with the dentist :o)
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Robin broke a tooth and found a shape shifter to fix her fang. The story entails how Robin contains her inner person from coming out and bite Dr. Perez.
This was a quick, light read, but actually really interesting. I was quite interested in figuring Dr. Perez out! I love the way it adds to the worldbuilding as well.
Ratón Pérez!!!! How the heck did you, oh amazing author, get to twist the story in such a way? Short story but I ended with a smile and marveling, again, about Jae’s ability to surprise.
