Hunger for you is a paranormal f/f romance featuring a mysterious vampire and the girl she’s head over heels for. Basically, it was everything I should have loved but alas, I didn’t.  I originally didn’t finish and wasn’t giving feedback but after much consideration I gave it another try and managed to complete it. 

We will start with the positive: I loved the plot and storyline was so intriguing, I liked how badass Amelia was regardless of being the only human, she did not back down. I admired her spirit and, I wouldn’t say no to a sequel.

However, Byron bored me to tears. I was just not here for her character and this really soured the romance for me. In the end I skimmed most of their romantic scenes just to get to the action! I did liked the side characters especially Alexis and Katie. Here’s hoping they all get books. Maybe I’ll enjoy them more.

Overall; if you’re looking for a romantic/action packed read, then this is the book for you. I myself, have turned off romance so maybe that contributed to my distaste.

This book was so engaging I spent an entire afternoon reading it. The lead characters had fantastic chemistry, the sex scenes were sizzling hot, the supporting characters were equally interesting and the battle of the clans storyline was gripping. My only negative comment is that the story started rather abruptly six months after the two leads had already met - the meeting scene was only revealed towards the end and even so it was only a brief look into how they met. A more linear, chronological account might have improved the story. Having said that I look forward to reading the rest of the series and I hope the author gives Alexis and Katie their own story.

This was a bit of a mess - but i read it all.  This is the continuation of the short story "Dapper" and is Frame's take on vampires.  I'll give her credit for mixing stuff up a bit and not following all the standard vampire tropes  (there are still some) but I still found the story lacking in direction and action.

I found this a little too boring despite the fact that this is a genre that I normally enjoy. Found it too slow going with not enough action to keep me interested. Just okay.

Solid 3.5 stars. 

Started off a little slow for me, I struggled to start it several times, but once I did, I enjoyed it.  A lot of excitement and twists that have me eagerly awaiting the next in the series.

DNF
I requested this book in error, and so still was prepared to review it. I couldn't get into this book, not even trying to make myself finish it. 
This is not a strike against the author, just that my lack of interest in the subject matter.

I loved reading it! This paranormal romance cries out for at least a sequel, if not a series. A family mystery of one protagonist remains to be solved. And the book is full of promising future protagonists who deserve their own happily ever after.

Thank you netgalley for providing this book the read and review. The book was ok but did not keep my attention long enough to read all of it.

This was an exceptional book. This completely took me off guard. Now I love paranormal books but this one was one of the best, if not the best I have read in a very long time.

It had a bit of everything. Yes, the obvious but also intrigue, mystery, history and a lot of important secondary characters that just enhanced the story. It is really well written and had me guessing til the end. I really really hope Frame has a follow up on the cards because there is no way she could end it where she did. It set me up to think of another incredible story. Can the good guys really win the day. Can the bad guy be converted?

It's set in London in my home town in the present day. And it's just the way I remember it.

If you want something different that will hold your attention then give this book ago. I highly recommend it and it is worth more than 5 stars.  Enjoy!

I would like to apologise for not posting reviews but I have been in hospital for the last 8 weeks trying to save my leg. The hospital wi-fi was not very good, but I am going to catch up on all the books I have read in the next few days as I am unable to walk . I can not apologise enough  Jane Shambler

Hunger For You is the first book in a series. Its based on a theme which most teenagers drool about - 'VAMPIRES'. That doesn't mean it's not for all age groups.

I personally loved this book mostly because of the paranormal aspect of the book. It wasn't just about Vampires, there were plenty of other supernatural creatures and the author has created a wonderful world out there. Vampires are something I'm really fascinated about. I mean who doesn't like Super speed, Intense strength, mind control, and immortality?

I liked the fact that the author has not stuck to the definition of vampires we see on mainstream TV (Thank god they weren't sparkly). She has added a few extra traits which I loved.

What really clicked in this story were the characters.
Byron Debrek - I never knew that Byron is a gender neutral name and I must say I dig that name on a woman. So Byron is a 300+ years old vampire and also the heir to the Debrek royal family. She runs the financing business of her family. Damn I loved her. She was charming and gentle and chivalrous...who says chivalry is dead.
The actions she does and the personality she portrays oozes nobility. What a perfect woman(vampire). Eh I can go on and on about her. Long story short, she's perfect.

Amelia Honey - Aw the stereotypical human who always gets caught in the vampire crossfire. Though there's more to her character than being the femme lesbian who is mostly a damsel in distress. As you read on you'll realise that she isn't as she seems to be. At times she was kinda dumb and I felt like knocking her head with my book but I couldn't help liking her. She is independent and has a lot of pride but is very gullible which works out fine here. I like her.

If I haven't made it clear yet, I loved this book. Paranormal stuff like vampires and werewolves are my go to sins. This book had literally everything I needed- Chemistry between the leads, hot love scenes(phew) , drama, angst, romance( oh my the romance) and strong supporting characters.

The only thing I didn't like was that the story had a lot of loose ends. But my bad, I didn't know that it was a first in a series. Im so looking forward to the next book. As for whether you need to read this book or not? I'd say go for it. It'll kill the hangover the vampire diaries left in you.

My rating: 5 stars out of 5

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book I have read by this author.  Supernatural is not my usual genre to read but am I pleased that I chose this one.  I had read that this author was great but I was still sitting on the fence.

Wow … just Wow.  This book had me hooked from the very beginning.  What’s not to love?  The book was well written and paced, interesting characters in Amelia & Byron, the author done some sold research.  I would highly recommend anyone to read this book.  I sat up most of the night to finish reading it.  One more chapter turned into one more and before I knew it I had finished the book.

I look forward to reading more from Jenny Frame.

5 STARS

This was an amazing story, I loved the outside the box take on vampires. The romance was sweet and sexy. The chemistry was hot, and the love was real, and I look forward to reading more.

I rec'd an ARC from NetGallley/Bold Strokes Books for an honest review.<br />A vampire romance that has angst, sex and a compelling storyline with leads Amelia and Byron (from "Dapper"). Nicely fleshed out characters that didn't quite follow the vampire norm making Ms. Frame's take on the genre interesting for me. Dare I hope this develops into a series?<br />I recommend this book with 4 stars.

I was curious about whether Jenny Frame would expand on her short story Dapper, which is the precursor to this book. I was so excited to when this came out, and Frame did not disappoint. I love the Byron Debrek character, powerful, dapper, and smooth.  The premise and characters were good, except I was not too pleased with the choices the characters made. Byron is supposed to be a 300-year-old vampire, but she constantly puts herself in precarious situations with the very human whose blood she desires above anyone else’s? Seems kind of stupid to me. Just doesn’t make sense, not a smart decision. 

Same with Amelia Honey, once she found out about the vampire world, she was always shocked about finding out about other immortal beings. I wondered how she could still be surprised, after all she’d seen so far? So, at times, Amelia became an annoying contradiction. Then there was the drama between Alexis and Katie, which I won’t say wasn’t enjoyable. I’m curious about that story and I want to read more. It just felt like so many loose ends were left untied and we’re being set up for a sequel. This is something mentioned by other reviewers too, I didn’t let it deter me, but I knew it would annoy me when the book ended the way it did. So now, we must all wait. I’d read the sequel, I just wish we had some closure in this one.

Hunger For You by Jenny Frame is a wonderful paranormal tale about love conquering the darkest part of a person’s soul. Byron Debrek is the head of the oldest vampire clan in the world and the strongest vampire in existence. She falls for Amelia Honey who embodies all that is kind, innocent and nurturing. I can’t go further than that, as it would be one spoiler after another.

The story moves between Byron’s and Amelia’s point of view so I felt like I got to know them very well. The writing is solid and this book felt like a highly romanticized take on a vampire love story. Byron is all about control, brooding, and gallantry. She is definitely the picture perfect vampire.

The plot kept me on my toes. That isn’t to say that there weren’t things that I didn’t see coming. However, everything was revealed at the perfect time and in a fresh way.

The end of the book is set up so that this is the first in what I hope will at least be a three book series.

My only qualm with the book was that there were times when I felt like I was reading the same passages over again. It was as if exposition from the beginning of the book was cut and pasted into the second half of the book. It was as if the author wanted to make sure the reader was still following along. This is the only reason that I did not give the book a five star rating.

This was a very good read and I definitely recommend it.

I was provided with an ARC of this book via Netgalley from Bold Stokes Books in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I absolutely love Jenny Frame as an author. I have read, and will read anything she writes. I have loved almost everything she has written, but this one is not my favorite. I am also a fan of paranormal romance, but this one just didn't do it for me. I wouldn't say this isn't a good book, it just didn't deliver. I will say I may have gone into this one with too high of expectations. I was excited she had written a vampire book and may have set myself up for failure. Expecting too much. 

When I first began the book I debated on skipping this one. The beginning was a bit rough for me. I remember thinking this may be my first Frame book that I really do not like. I made myself continue and after you get through the beginning it gets better. Maybe around 40% or so… I really liked Amelia but Byron was not my favorite. By the end I thought it had recovered somewhat but it still wasn't on my Frame favorites list. Kind of hope book 2 is Alexis and Katie… I would read that book!

I was cautiously optimistic about HUNGER FOR YOU, as I haven't had great luck with Frame's books in the past but was super excited for lesbian vampires. I'm disappointed but not terribly surprised that I ended up unable to finish and DNF'd at 22%. 
The central issue I have with the story is that it starts six months into the relationship and I'm completely unsure why the two heroines fell in love. I read in another review that there's a prequel novella, and perhaps if I had read that, my opinion would be different.
The book starts with the two of them in Amelia's uncle's tailor shop, where she works and where Byron has been shopping for decades. They're about to go on a vacation to Italy, which is where Byron intends to finally tell Amelia that Byron's a vampire. This is all fine... if it was like 30% into the book. As it stands, I was confused where the plot was hiding, where the chemistry was, etc. The book picks up at around 10% of the way in, with the introduction of a rival vampire clan, but the half of the narrative that follows the central couple plods along awkwardly.
I'm sure the book improves after the point that I stopped reading, but I gave a month of my reading life to trying to get through this and at some point, you have to throw in the metaphorical towel. I will say that it reads like a lot of the vampire romance that came out after Twilight, just chock full of queer women. If that sounds like something you'd like to read, you may want to check this out. I have no complaints about the sex, the representation I read, etc. It's just that the storytelling itself didn't work for me.

I love all of Jenny Frame’s books and this is no exception.  The book has a romantic paranormal theme.  It has been many months since I have read a book in this category so I was looking forward to it.  From the way the book is listed, I believe this is part of a new series entitled “Amelia and Byron”.

Byron Debrek is the “Principe” or head of an ancient vampire dynasty.  She is single and not looking for love - that is until she meets Amelia Honey.  Amelia is a tailor who lives with her two uncles.  Byron comes into her shop and is drawn to Amelia.  She is also attracted to him and they begin to date. Of course, Amelia does not know that Byron is a vampire.  This book deals with how their romance develops, how Amelia learns about Byron being a vampire, and how it affects their relationship.

We are introduced to many characters in this book.  They fall into the categories of vampires, humans, or witches.  I look forward to the next book to see which characters Ms. Frame will develop further.

I felt that the plot was very smooth and flowed quickly.  After the first chapter I was hooked and did not want to stop reading.  Unfortunately, I will have to wait and hope that Ms. Frame adds to the series soon.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes paranormal fiction.  It is also a good romance.  

If someone has not tried a paranormal book, this might be a good one to try.  I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I was given this ARC in return for a fair and honest review.

I like a lesfic vampire tale, and I really enjoyed this one. Good chemistry between the leads Byron and Amelia, a fantastic supporting cast and wonderful ‘baddie’ in Victorija. Lots of sex scenes in this book, not particularly vanilla, so be aware. A good place to end the story for this book, but plenty left to tell. Can’t wait for the next one!
