A vampire puts the bite on a dental assistant.

It’s a lousy first day on the job for Nina Blackman when a patient, loopy from the anesthesia, bites her. At least he was cute. But for real drama she can’t beat the next evening. Nina wakes up with a set of razor-sharp fangs, bionic vision, supersonic hearing, and a taste for blood. But there’s a good explanation: It’s her patient, Long Island vampire Greg Statleon. Actually they’re perfect for each other—if Nina’s willing to commit to one man for eternity.

Another fun paranormal romance.  I am not as impressed with the second book in the series as the first book in the series.  After a while, the story started to feel like a repeat.  But the main characters were fun enough that they kept me engaged in the story.  I liked Nina's brash confidence to a certain point.  I liked Greg's mysteriousness to a certain point.  I would never have been able to be friends with these people.  They did make fairly fun characters for 350 pages.  I am certain that I will read the third book in series.  I'm not sure about the fourth and fifth.  We'll just have to see how it goes.

Marty Andrews is having a bad week.  First, she's bitten by a mangy mutt while walking her teacup poodle.  As a result, her salon-perfect blonde hair beings darkening by the day to something that's soooo not in her color wheel.  Her moodswings have turned her into The Hormonal Hulk.  Worse yet, the hair on her legs is growing at a rate even a body slam into an entire vat of wax couldn't cure.  Last, and most important, her dream job as a sales rep for Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics is going to hell in a handbasket...

The only high point is Keegan Flaherty, the drool-worthy man who shows up at her door.  Of course, he's clearly insane.  Keegan claims that he accidentally bit Marty, and since he's a werewolf, she is now too.  Red meat cravings aside, Marty refuses to believe a word until a kidnapping makes her realize there's more at stake than her highlights.  And she must put her out-of-control life in the hands of the man who makes her blood run wild in more ways than one...

A fun little paranormal romp.  I loved the main characters, Marty and Keegan.  They were fun and strong characters.  It was an interesting mix of personalities.  Marty was incredibly stubborn, but then so was Keegan.  They were an oddly, but amazingly endearing romantic match.  The storyline is fairly predictable.  But again, I don't mind if the characters are fun.  I liked the fun werewolf transition story.  I will be picking up the next one to read soon.
