Jenna Levine continues to write the vampire romcoms of my dreams! This book follows Reggie (who we meet in the first interconnected book ‘My Roommate Is A Vampire) our resident vampire and Amelia, a quirky accountant.

Reggie and Amelia quite literally run into one another outside a coffee shop and end up brewing up some favours from one another. Amelia is tired of her family giving her grief for being the black sheep of the family, and for still being single. When it’s Reggie’s turn to owe Amelia a favour she hatches up a plan to bring him as a fake date to her cousins wedding to get her family off her back. A meet the parents, snowed in-one bed-cabin stay, and some hilarity over Amelia’s understanding that Reggie is actually a vampire later… and a real romance is brewing.

This was so much fun. The comedy in reading Reggie’s POV, his bullet journal and various texts and emails between characters throughout the book really adds a fun flair. The intimate scene was something I brushed over as the vibes for me weren’t right with the level of fun comedic vibes happening in this book but I suppose I could just be being a prude!

This is a must read for all my fellow twilight adults forever chasing more vampire love.

I love this cute little series so much, Fake dating a vampire? Count me in.
I read My Roommate is a Vampire earlier this year and thought it was so much fun, and I felt the same way about this one. It’s sweet it’s a little spicy, it had me laughing. I recommend!

3.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I was so excited when I saw that I got approved for this arc. Reggie's and Amelia's first meeting was one of my favorite parts of this book and I loved it! We get both Reggie's and Ameila's POV in this book and it was fascinating getting to know them as characters which included reading their inner most thoughts on many aspects of their life and through specific situations. There are a couple of forms of mixed media in this novel including emails, text messages and newspaper articles. Frederick's and Reggie's lovely friendship is continued in this novel and it was as enjoyable to read as the first book.

I liked the slow build up of Reggie's and Amelia's developing relationship throughout the book but some parts towards the latter half did drag. The author's writing is so easy to read and she has created great characters in Reggie and Amelia. Love Reggie so much! He is my favorite character in this universe.

Thank you so much Berkeley for the eARC. I confess I had my doubts that chaotic Reggie had leading man material in him after how he behaved in My Roommate Is a Vampire, and Levine exceeded my wildest expectations! Amelia is also a super compelling protagonist, and I love that her job mattered to the plot! I too, would have reached the same conclusion about Reggie’s initial confession. I laughed aloud multiple times while reading, which is the best indication that a rom com has enough com!

Big thank you to Berkley Publishing Group and NetGalley for a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book was so fun! I had pretty high expectations after enjoying Jenna Levine’s first novel, and this certainly met them. Reginald was one of my favorite characters from the first book so I’m glad we got to see more of his personality here. I also loved the miscommunication of Reginald thinking Amelia already knew he was a vampire.

Really just a super fun romcom (heavier on the com than the rom for me but both are great)! Definitely recommend for readers getting more into paranormal romance this year!

This is a cute, cozy vampire romcom. I read My Roommate is a Vampire last fall and was happy to see this is Reginald’s (Reggie’s) story. He is a colorful and funny character who makes everyone laugh. Amelia works as an accountant and is busy with tax season when her mother tells her she needs to find a date for her cousin’s wedding.

Amelia and Reggie first meet when they collide outside of a coffee shop. When they see each other there the next day, her best friend encourages her to ask him to be her fake date to the wedding.

My favorite part of the story is when Reggie and Amelia are getting to know each other and the humor around him being a vampire. I do think it helps to have read the first book, My Roommate is a Vampire, to learn more about the characters.

One fun thing about Reggie is he is working on a bullet journal that Cassie, his best friend Frederick's girlfriend, gave him . I hadn’t heard of those before but they sound fun. He has been feeling stressed because he is on the run from a vampire organization that is looking for him in connection with a fire that happened over a hundred years ago. There's a good twist to the story when he and Amelia work together on this.

I enjoyed watching Reggie at the wedding and activities leading up to it. It’s cute that he enjoys playing history trivia with Amelia’s dad (who is a history buff).

The parts that felt weird for me are the spicy scenes (he’s a vampire so he’s cold to touch and no heartbeat) and I would love to see more cool vampire powers (at least he can fly:). This is a cute cozy story for readers that enjoy light vampire romances. Thanks to NetGalley, Jenna Levine and Berkley for the advanced copy of the book.

Absolutely loved it! One of the only rom com books out there that genuinely make me laugh out loud! It’s light, fluffy, and everything you’d expect from the author. The fake dating trope fit the character’s dynamics so well, and I genuinely had a good time reading this book! I want to thank netgalley as well as the publisher for allowing me to read this arc! It was a fantastic book!

REVIEW: My Vampire Plus One ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was so excited when I was accepted for this ARC. I’ve read her first book of this series, My Roommate is a Vampire, and thought it was so fun. I was also thrilled to learn that this book focuses on Reginald, a side character in the first book.

Amelia keeps getting bothered by her family about dating, so she decides to get a fake date for her cousin’s wedding. She literally runs into Reginald, who offers to help her. Even though Reginald tells Amelia early on that he is a vampire, Amelia doesn’t believe him. Not only is the fake dating part a big part of the story but there’s also a vampire mob group chasing down Reginald. This story is full of activity, making it a fast-paced read. I love the mix of supernatural, funny moments, sweet romance, and a slow-burn romance that rewards you with spicy scenes.

Jenna Levine is great at making fun and loveable characters, and My Vampire Plus One is no exception. Reginald, or Reggie, is very eclectic, arrogant, and quite the prankster, whereas Amelia is a type A, non-risk taker who loves being an accountant. Reggie and Amelia have some fun chemistry that slowly builds throughout the book. There are so many sweet, funny, and spicy moments between them. When Reggie gets turned on by tax talk from Amelia, you know it will be a wild ride.

The only thing I wasn’t a huge fan of was the book's climax. It was a little lackluster for me and seemed too simple. I was hoping for a little more of a challenge.

Overall, I loved My Vampire Plus One. I couldn’t stop laughing and swooning throughout. I suggest reading My Roommate is a Vampire first to get more background on the characters.

Thank you Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the free advanced copy for my honest review!

So excited that I received an ARC of this novel after how much I adored “My Roommate is a Vampire!” And once again, I received endless serotonin and giggles. I knew I was going to devour Reginald’s love story and it absolutely delivered for me! And the cover😍

Reginald and Amelia fall into a fake dating arrangement that seems mutually beneficial - Amelia needs to get her family out of her love life and Reginald needs to avoid the Vampire society tracking him down. What they don’t expect is their immediate chemistry and understanding of each other.

Reginald’s characterization is so outrageous in the best way. You would expect Vampires who are hundreds of years old to be brooding and cold, but that’s not what Levine delivers. He has an outlandish fashion sense and he bullet journals!! I love their dynamic so much. I completely recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun and unique read.

Thank you Berkley Romance for the advanced copy.

Arc review: 4.75 ⭐️
UGH I JUST LOVE THIS SERIES. The whimsy! The absolutely ridiculous MMC that I just can’t help but love! The “talk tax to me baby” accounting dirty talk 🤣

And you know- there is a surprising bit of SPICE and tension to cut through the humor too. I’m just in such a good mood after reading this!

Cinnamon Bun Vampire Hero - Check
Sassy, single girl needing a date to a wedding - Check
Delightfully zany side characters that make you giggle snort - Check
Slow burn romance with some real satisfying sexy times - Check...well double check :)

Sweet, cute story that reads quickly and has delightful characters, slow burn romance, and great side characters. This book is the second in the series so be aware that the first book explains things a wee bit better, so if anything is confusing in this story, absolutely check out the first one.

At points I was laughing so hard that I was crying. This was such a good read. I want to go back and re-read it as if it was my first time reading this.

Amelia is looking to get her family off her back regarding her dating life- or well, lack of a dating life. To do this, she invites Reginald to some family events, hoping to get her family off her back. Reginald is the worst person she could find….but….he’s not actually a person though….he’s a vampire, who dresses crazy, is arrogant and rude.

Turn’s out that he is the perfect candidate for a partner.

Now I need to go read My Roommate is a Vampire.

*Thank you, Net Galley, for this ARC. I am leaving an honest and voluntary review*

Amelia has a family wedding to attend and she is dreading it. Everyone is going to be asking why she is still single and will suck the fun out of it for her. She likes her accounting job and long hours. Until she runs into Reginald. (Remember him from book 1, My Roommate Is A Vampire?) Her and Reggie literally run into each other on the street. She felt the weird instant chemistry too and he told her he owes her one because he was trying to stay hidden from someone.

At the coffee shop, who does she run into but Reggie. Small world. She decides to claim the I owe you one. She tells Reggie he needs to be her fake date for the wedding and festivities leading up to the wedding. Reggie consults Frederick for some help with clothing and thinks he can actually pull this off. In a getting to know you phone call Amelia jokingly says something about being a vampire and Reggie is so relieved she knows what he is. The joking part went right over his head.

From that point forward in the story it's get wild. Reggie is on the run, Amelia's family is barely tolerable, and the truth of everything starts to come to light. Reggie's people that are hunting him are actually Amelia's client and they come up with what they think is a foolproof plan to get them to stop.

This book was just perfect. Fake dating, tons of chemistry between main characters, and definitely a page turner! If you loved My Roommate Is A Vampire, you will fall in love instantly with this book too. I love that you get little updates too on all the people from book 1.

Thank you to @netgalley, @berkleypub, and @jennalevinewrites for my copy to review in exchange for my honest opinion. I absolutely adored this fast paced novel!

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for providing this book, with my honest review below.

My Vampire Plus-One is part of a series (preceded by My Roommate is a Vampire) that can be read as a standalone - and should definitely be picked up. I’ve previously purchased My Roommate is a Vampire but haven’t gotten around to reading it, and I’m so glad I did because I’m definitely going back to it.

The vampire in this story is Reginald, or Reggie, a bit of a troublemaker vampire trying to hide from a shady vampire organization called The Collective who believe he is to blame for some past events. Amelia, on the other hand, is a regular human accountant who is constantly under pressure by her family to have a partner. When Reggie owes Amelia a favor and Amelia decides to cash in for a fake boyfriend leading up to her cousin’s wedding, it’s not quite clear what she’s getting herself into.

I love Reggie and how he helped Amelia let loose a bit over time. In general the whole ‘vampire tries to hide he’s a vampire from the people he’s around but also is adorably charmed by what he discovers’ was such a great concept to explore, and done well in this story. While the storylines progression is fairly simple (in a book about vampires I know that’s a little puzzling but I mean the events that move the plot forward), this is a well done story that’s entertaining and has some adorable characters. I’d definitely recommend it!

This still needs line editing and copy editing. I noticed a bunch of small errors. It kept kicking me out of the story. I just wasn’t having fun myself and stopped at the end of chapter 3 (10%). Of course, I’m sure they’ll be fixed before it is published. The actual content, I was having fun with.

I’m guessing this will be the same 3-4 star range as book 1. Pacing-wise, prose-wise, vibe-wise, it feels the same.

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.

Amelia Collins is fed up with the constant inquiries about her nonexistent dating life, prompting her to take drastic measures by enlisting the help of the most unsuitable candidate, Reginald Cleaves, to pose as her date at a family wedding. Reginald, despite his striking good looks, possesses qualities that make him the perfect candidate for the role: he is rude, arrogantly infuriating, and dresses in a manner that defies all fashion norms. The wedding date unfolds in a series of disastrous events, with Reginald's antics leaving everyone, including Amelia, appalled. Surprisingly, Reginald's revelation of being a vampire fails to deter Amelia, who sees an opportunity to utilize his unconventional behavior to her advantage. As they continue attending events together, an unexpected connection begins to form between them, blurring the lines between love and hate.

This was such a fun and quick read! I can't wait to see what the author dies next!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc!

My Vampire Plus One by Jenna Levine is an uproarious follow-up to My Vampire Roommate that had me in stitches from beginning to end. This novel approaches the supernatural with a playful touch, effortlessly blending humor and romance. I suggest reading the first book beforehand to fully appreciate this one.

Thank you @berkleypub and @neygalley for the eARC of My Vampire Plus-One by @jennalevinewrites in exchange for an honest review!

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 I missed the first book in this series, My Roommate is a Vampire, but this one stands alone perfectly and I will absolutely be going back to indulge! Even though Amelia is content with her quiet life most of the time, she feels the pressure to have a date to her cousin’s wedding. So begins this adorable fake-dating rom com that you will not want to put down.
Amelia and Reginald are the epitome of opposites attract, she’s an organized accountant and he’s a bit eccentric. Amelia is so worried about the red flags in this fake wedding date scenario that she misses the big one that Reggie is a vampire. My Vampire Plus-One is comedy gold; the concept of it all is hilariously absurd but boy does it work!!! I was laughing out loud reading this book (I NEVER do that) and reading excerpts to my husband and I devoured this book with no apologies!

Review is posted in Goodreads and will be on Instagram ahead of the publication date!

My Vampire Plus One by Jenna Levine is a hilarious sequel to My Vampire Roommate that kept me laughing throughout. This book takes a light-hearted approach to the supernatural, blending humor and romance effortlessly. I recommend making sure you have read the first novel before reading this one.

One of the surprises of this book was how perfect Reginald's character turned out to be. In the previous book, he stood out, but I never expected him to become my next book boyfriend. Yet, in My Vampire Plus One, he shines even brighter. Reginald's charm, wit, and chaotic nature make him utterly lovable, and his chemistry with the rule-following accountant is undeniable. Their interactions are filled with witty banter and that found myself rooting for them every step of the way, despite the absurdity of their circumstances.

Levine's writing style is engaging and witty, with a perfect balance of humor and romance. Overall, My Vampire Plus One is a delightful read for fans of supernatural romcoms, offering plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments.

Jenna Levine is an amazing writer. Somehow I love these quirky vampires and all their weirdness. Because come on, of course you're going to be weird and carry over your horrible fashion sense if you're 100+ years old. This was a PERFECT book 2 and I definitely look forward to many more from Jenna!
