I read this book not realising it was book two in the series. However this did not detract any enjoyment from the book. Lots happening, plenty of drama but massive amounts of humour. I loved Imogene's character and will go and read book one to help understand the story background and character dynamics. Sara Dobie Bauer is a new author to me and I'm honestly glad I have found her. Good humour, feisty female vampires, Nicholas the sexy specialist and a baby thrown in, recipe for book perfection.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

I have to admit up front that when I started reading this book, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. I haven’t read the first one in the series, and it took me a little bit to figure out the players. Add to that, I wasn’t sure I was really going to like Imogene. Well, imagine my surprise when it didn’t take long to get completely hooked on all the characters. They are all so very interesting, and the love they felt for each other was obvious. Along with that, I really became engrossed in the plot; I couldn’t wait to find out what was up with the baby. This means, of course, that the book was well-written, had a great plot, and had great characters. The only tiny thing that bothered me was that Imogene was just a little too over the top at times. She was a great character, but as immature as she was, I don’t know how she could run a successful business. However, this book was great fun and I enjoyed it quite a bit once I got past the beginning. Highly recommend! Thanks to NetGalley and World Weaver Press/Broad Universe for the e-copy of the book which I voluntarily reviewed.

Imogene and Celia were at their favorite dive bar The Drift Inn and Celia was talking about her upcoming wedding. Celia and Imogene are vampires. Celia is pregnant by her human fiance. Ian. Celia was “ special” even for a vampire. Imogene was a blood dealer. Wharf was Imogene’s maker and her sex buddy as well as she sold blood to him. Imogene had met Wharf when she was twenty three and homeless in Miami. Imogene met the specialist Dr. Rayna Savage had called in about Celia- Nicholas . Imogene cut in while he was dancing with Dr. Savage . Imogene thought Nicky as she called him was handsome. But she didn’t trust him even if he was a vampire. Imogene had mixed emotions about Nicholas between really wanting to see him naked and really wanting to punch him in the face. Nicolas came to Imogene about buying blood and she asked Nicholas if he wanted to have sex and Nicholas said he wasn’t interested in her. Imogene couldn’t figure it out guys were always interested in her since she was thirteen. Dr. Sawyer’s boyfriend Dean refused to let Nicholas stay any longer in their home once he learned “ Rain” and Nicholas had been lovers and Nicholas had painted the nude painting of the doctor in the house. Nicholas ended up moving in with Imogene as Ian and Celia didn’t have the room.
This was a good story. It had a slow beginning for me but once it got going I really enjoyed it. I chuckled at times while reading this. I liked the plot. I loved how Imogene was portrayed so opposite to Nicholas at least that side of Imogene at first anyway. I like how she grew as the story went on. I loved how protective Imogene was of Ian and Celia. I also loved the way the baby was in Celia’s stomach and laughed and her first word was the f word she had learned from her future godmother and aunt Imogene. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I recommend.

This was kind of a fun romp in vamptown but way too much use of the "f" bomb.

Bite somebody else is a vampire love story. I was disappointed I expected more humor, more action, not some 80 songs chick and renascence man. I was struggling to finish it. So is mediocre with everything that is going on in the book even the bedroom scenes are mediocre. The story is a little unpredictable and the end is ok so a nice 3 stare will do it.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

I really wanted to like this book but she was too mouthy and harsh for my enjoyment.

Imogene has a heart of gold and a filthy mouth. She is hopelessly lost in the 80’s. But if it wasn’t for her newbie vampire Celia wouldn’t have been able to fall in love with her hunky human, Ian. Now Celia and Ian are expecting the unexpected and it has attracted the attention of the Vampire council and they’ve sent Lord Nicholas Christopher Cuthbert III to investigate. Imogene has found the one guy immune to her charms. She is going to have to protect her friend the old fashioned way. Work for it.
The back and forth between Imogene and Nicholas is laugh out loud hysterical. The interplay between them was like watching Maddie and David from Moonlighting. The story is fairly predictable but well worth the read. If you haven’t read the first book in this series Bite Somebody , I would recommend reading it first.

Not a fan. This book, what I read of it, was chaotic and didn't make a lot of sense. Maybe it's because I haven't read the series but I was turned off very early on in the book and did not finish it.
