Drop Dead Gorgeous is a great fit for those seeking a lighthearted, mysterious, and steamy romance with a dash of danger and a touch of the supernatural. It's a super fast-paced read, so once you start you won't want to put it down.

This book was so entertaining. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and was involved until the end. The characters were complex and interesting. I found the story to be well paced and engrossing throughout the whole book. I was invested in the couple throughout the book and felt all the emotions through both the highs and lows of the story.The side characters were such an integral part of this story as well. This is the love story i needed to read at this time. If you want an entertaining and well written book this is it for you

I didn't finish reading this. I stopped at chapter 5 because of the angst between the characters. It got tiresome and kind of boring.

Romancing the Undead is the second book in the V-Date series by Juliet Lyons. While I have read the previous book, and it did give me a bit of insight on a few characters, I do not think it is needed to fully enjoy this read.

Mila Hart’s first experience with the vampire dating site V-Date.com is a complete disaster–her date is wanted for murder! But things turn around when she’s rescued by dashing vampire cop Vincent Ferrer. Dangerous and devastatingly attractive, he’s just the undead hottie Mila was hoping for. However Vincent is haunted by his past and does not want to risk falling in love again–even if Mila charms him more than anyone he’s ever met. But when the killer from Mila’s date seeks her out, Vincent is the only one who can protect her. Protecting his heart is a different story.

Romancing the Undead is a solid paranormal romance with a solid plot and danger and connections that were on point. I liked Mila's character, she was strong and aware of her flaws. She was not the mess she considered herself to be, but she certainly did find herself in less that ideal conditions on several occasions. Vincent was a good character as well, although I did find his attachment to guilt and his past to be a little much on occasion. I found the suspense plot line with the vampire murderer to be well done, although I admit that I suspected the twist, or something of its nature from the start. I do think that my favorite part was the characters, especially the supporting characters and hoe varied but real they all felt. From Vincent's co-workers, to the vampires, and beyond to Mila's friends and family, I found the little details about these characters and their lives made everything much more real as I read than the story would have been without them.

Romancing the Undead is an engaging read that had me entertained through out, and holding my breath more than once. I do believe I will be continuing this series, and looking to see what happens to all the characters I have met on the edges of the story.

I love this book. I read book 1 and 2 in the series. and this is just as good. I have always loved paranormal romance. This one has lots of romance and suspense. The characters have lots of chemistry together. It's a fresh take on paranormal romance. (And trust me, a lot of the other books out there are just clichés after clinches.... ) I enjoy it very much and I am looking forward to the next one from this writer!

I don't know what it is about a good paranormal romance but they just make me all smiley and happy. I needed a break from plain ol' romance and knew Juliet Lyon's Drop Dead Gorgeous was just what I needed. And I was not wrong. I devoured this book and loved every minute of it. Mila and Vincent were wonderful characters and their relationship was so enjoyable. The supporting cast was just as strong. I could live within this V-Date world for much longer than the three novels that full out the series.

This was a very fun and silly book, but exactly what I expected to read.

So this went a different route then what I expected, especially with the characters. Mila was not a favorite character of mine and I'm not sure if I believed she was right for Vincent. I didn't find that connection that I saw with the characters that I felt from the 1st book. Mila was a quarky character that spent too much time talking about pop culture. There was just way too much of it. I don't really see how Vincent got closure from his past, when he didn't even know there was another person at the event with Vincent's original love. <spoiler>Now there is a vampire witch who can make vampires into humans, which I found kind of ridiculous.</spoiler> I can't wait to read Ronin and Cats story though.

I loved this follow up to Dating the Undead. Using a spin-off character introduced in book one, Lyons continues to explore the vampire-human dating scene in this sexy and funny book. Think Bridget Jones meets True Blood set in modern-day London. The pace is fast and the romance is steamy, and book three can't come fast enough.

I'm not really a fan of the paranormal books. I did like the concept of this series. It didn't really disappoint me either. The book did a bit stereotypical in spots, a bit fairy tale-ish in the end, but overall a good read. I would put the third book on my TBR list.

So a lot of my issues with Book 1 (DATING THE UNDEAD) are solved here, though not the cure all, catch all almost Deus ex machina ending.

What are the chances that Mila would know someone who could solve their problem?

That said I liked the villain angle better here as well as the relationship progression. Vincent was, to be frank, adorable as heck. Reading how at loose ends he was constantly, well that was fun. Mila seemed the more confident one which was a nice change of pace.

She knew what she wanted and never felt compunction telling Vincent (not even in bed). And she had honest conversations with him about her expectations as well discussing possible solutions. Vincent didn't make or try to force assumptions on her either.

Vague spoiler, near the end Mila wants to broach a pretty obvious issue the two should have a plan for. She presents her argument, she offers a solution, she listens to Vincent's objections and counter offer. Neither dismisses the other's idea.

Rational adult conversation!

I'm less excited for the next book (about Ronin and Catherine), but I wonder if their ending will be the same as Logan and Vincent's?

Love the cover. The story is fun and quirky. I really enjoyed reading it.

L..

I really enjoyed the chemistry between Mila and Vincent. It was a cross between a cozy mystery and a hot romance, and it really took the best of both worlds to combine into a great story full of banter and steam.
This is a fantastic read for paranormal romance lovers as it is for contemporary romance lovers.

3.5 Stars

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I totally enjoyed it. Talk about first dates! Mila was so lucky that Vincent was there for her after her first date with a vampire turned into a night of terror. But the story isn't all dark, there is plenty of snarky humor and the chemistry shines between the H/h. There was just something so charming about Vincent and his old fashioned ways at times.
I am not a fan of first person, my personal preference, and so I think it could have been stronger and more engaging for readers like me told in 3rd person, JMO.

I received and ARC copy from NetGalley for my honest opinion

This second installment was filled with just as much quirky romance as the first one and leaves me eager to see where this series heads next.

Mila is this book’s focus. She starts the story going on a v-date with a serial killer. No worries, though, because Vincent the vampire is on the case! Vincent is the “by the books” vampire you hope would be the cop assigned to your case, but Mila certainly tests his resolve. Aside from their blistering attraction, these two also have to work together to make sure the serial killer can’t continue his work.

Vincent has oodles of baggage, but trust the very open and rambling Mila to push all his boundaries. Forced to live together, these two play a game of who can ignore their attraction more. When they finally break, it’s epically hot. If you’re looking for a murder-mystery with paranormal romance throughout, this is definitely a smutty good time.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is about a woman who accidentally ends up on a date with a vampire serial killer. Of course, the only person that can protect her is another vampire, a vampire cop. I like that this book was set in the UK and there were a couple of twists at the end that made it hard to guess the ending.

This was a different take on how a vampire-human relationship drama can happen in an urban fantasy novel. Most books have that typical male vampire in a romance book who is always brooding around, or resistant to the relationship. This was different because this is a man with feelings. He has a past that has left him "emotionally wounded" so he doesn't form attachments. That ordinary, but he has aged beyond and is aware of these issues.

So Vincent is like a cop in a modern time when people know about vampires and it seems like he really isn't an actual copy and he's like a helper. One thing I didn’t like about this confusing "job position" he has is because it seems like the humans were always able to keep up, or do just as good as him. It's not bad just different, and I didn't like that. So I don't like his job, but I like him as an individual.

Mila was an interesting character to read. She had humor, she felt naïve, but just was also strong in the sense that "Life ain't gonna keep her down." She becomes a witness after she is almost killed by a psycho vamp that she meets on some V-date site. Vincent is the one who ends up saving her just in time from the killer. Then things get complicated as the two fight their mutual attraction towards one another.

Emotionally thrilling, action packed, highly entertaining romantic adventure filled with danger and interesting as well as charming charters.

Vincent Ferrer is an extremely hot vampire cop with a haunted past that keeps him from looking for any kind of lasting relationship. Mila Hart is sexy, sassy and looking for love, but is highly disappointed by her first date off a hot new vampire dating site. Steaming hot sexy romantic journey for this sexy and charming couple.

I had fun with Drop Dead Gorgeous and if you love vampires, or anything paranormal then I’m betting you’ll enjoy this second story in the Bite Nights series as well.

Mila has not been exactly lucky in love, so since vampires and humans now share the world openly she decides to take a walk on the wilder, undead side and joins an undead dating site. Again it’s just her luck to be paired up with one vampire who definitely isn’t looking for a happy ever after ending. Nope, she finds herself with a serial killer and she is on his menu for far more than drinks. Enter one hot, sexy member of the police force who also happens to be an old world vampire and things get interesting for Mila.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is steamy, funny and a very entertaining paranormal romantic suspense with a twist that I honestly didn’t see coming. It’s full of interesting secondary characters that I certainly hope we learn more about in the next story, That Killer Smile.

Vincent will fight his attraction to Mila for he has vowed to never fall in love again. Which doesn’t exactly hold up as he is slowly falling under this human’s spell more each day. Protecting her has become his only focus. Together they’ll search out a serial killer and find romance along the way.

At times snarky, other times touchingly emotional, this is a Paranormal Romance that any reader of the genre would enjoy. I’d definitely recommend this one and I’m looking forward to the next story.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS is the second book in the Bite Night series. If you have not read the first book in the series, don’t worry. This can be read as a standalone.

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS is a story about Mila Hart. Mila has been unlucky in love. For some reason she always seemed to date losers. Her last boyfriend of two years was married with two kids. Something she was unaware of while they were dating. Hence, the reason why she broke up with him. Wanting to try something different, Mila decides to sign up for V-Date, a vampire dating site. Since she was having bad luck with human men, Mila thought maybe her luck would change for the better dating a vampire. Unfortunately, luck is not on her side. The first vampire she meets tries to kill her. She is saved in the nick of time by Inspector Vincent Ferrer.

Vincent Ferrer is hot on the trail of a vampire serial killer. The latest tip leads him to an alley where the killer is about to sink his fangs into Mila. Vincent can’t help but to feel an attraction to Mila. Something that scares him to the very core. She is a witness and he is a professional. Vincent knows he should act like a professional while around her, but he just can’t help the sexual attraction that springs up every time he is near her. When the killer breaks into Mila’s home, leaving her a dead rat, Vincent knows the only way to protect her is to keep her with him. This is where the fun begins.

I really loved Mila and Vincent. Their laugh out loud moments really made this story for me. Sure, she is targeted by a serial killer, but Mila, although scared, didn’t lose her upbeat personality. She is definitely a talker and babbles (a lot!) The babbling is actually what I loved about Mila. I loved how she described Vincent as Mr Hottie, Inspector Vampire and how she thought she died and gone to heaven the first time she saw Vincent when he rescued her in the alley. Vincent on the other hand is definitely a gentleman through and through. He instantly feels an attraction to Mila, but she is a witness and he knows he really should not get involved, but yet he could not stay away either. He tries to fight the attraction, but little by little he feels himself being sucked in (No pun intended!) to her charms.

All in all, I really enjoyed DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. It is a light-hearted and fun read. Juliet Lyons kept the story upbeat with a sprinkle of seriousness thrown in the mix. I loved the alternating POV between Mila and Vincent as you were able to get inside both of their heads learning more about them as individuals. I can honestly say that Juliet Lyons is now on my radar and I will be happily purchasing more of her books in the future.
