Publisher's summary

I used to think that my life was boring. I resigned myself to the rut I was stuck in. Then my entire existence was turned upside down.

In the last six months, I’ve learned things that would get me committed to an asylum if I repeated them. First, I was kidnapped by vampires. Yes, vampires. Sounds crazy, right? My best friend, Donna, became one of the fanged after that little adventure and hooked up with a hot, Scottish vampire named Conner. They’re even planning a wedding.

Secondly, I learned not all vampires are evil. In fact, some of them are downright sexy.

Alexander Dimitriades has it all. He’s tall, dark, and handsome and manages to give me tingles in all the right place and also make me laugh. Unfortunately, to be with him, I would have to give up my humanity and I like being human. Then, there’s the fact that the whole drinking blood thing gives me the heebie jeebies.

To make matters worse, there are plans in motion to change the place vampires hold in the human world. And I’m caught in the middle, between the vampire I’m falling in love with and a group that wants to create a vampire dictatorship, with humans as slaves.

Now, all I want is my calm, normal life back. As my friend, Ricki, likes to say, “Be careful what you wish for because it might come and bite you on the ass.” I hate it when she’s right.

This work contains BDSM elements/themes, spanking, bondage, anal play, and a bossy, persistent Greek vampire.

loved this book!

I have to say I didn't listen to the first book in the series so I was missing few peices of information but there was a bit of a recap in the beginning of the story! I enjoyed this book so much and loved how the vampires were portrayed there is also a bit of BDSM which personally for me sparked my interest lol 😆 it was beautifully narrorated by Ri Paige she has the most lovely voice 😊 ❤

A Great Vampire Romance

I liked this vampire paranormal romance audiobook. it was fast paced, action-packed steamy romance about evil versus good vampires. This Ivy and Lex's love story. Narrator Ri Paige was wonderful with the delivery.

twilight meets 50 shades

I'm not sure if I would like this audiobook more if I had listened to the 1st book, and if there was a male narrator adding that bit of something I felt it needed. This is my first time listening to Ri Paige and I enjoyed her narration and think she did a good job but I think the audio would've benefited with a male counterpart.
As for the book, it's got a 'Twlight meets 50 shades' vibe to it but I think it missed the mark on the bdsm aspect.
Ivy is Donna's BFF and I believe this book probably picks up right after book 1. Ivy(and Donna) were kidnapped and tortured by a vampire which leaves Ivy a bit traumatized. She ends up moving in with Donna and Connor and Lex is immediately attracted to her.
There's a lot of back and forth drama between them in the midst of more vampires looking to finish off Ivy.
I may go back to book one just to see if my opinion changes after listening to that one.
I do like how the author set up for book 2!

4.5 Stars..A New View Into Paranormal

I enjoyed this story with some variations on the vampire paranormal romance. We also have some werewolves and witches
The couple focus on a girl reviving from a vampire attack living with her recently ‘turned’ friend and vampire fiancé.
Her adjustment to her special abilities, her finding out the variations in the paranormal beings is interesting and fun
The only reason I didn’t give a full 5 stars has to do with the BDSM..which I don’t have a issue with other than I dislike BDSM where the sub is always being punished and has to thank the dom and apologize. I am good with dominance, it’s the correction like a child I’m not fond of. But there is t a lot in this book
Enjoyable narration and once I started the book I didn’t want to stop. I was pulled in and kept interested throughout.
Missed the first books in. The series but didn’t inhibit enjoying this book
I received a free audiobook for an honest and voluntary review.

intriguing journey

Lex's patience and persistence pays off, and then he unleashes all his pent up hormones on his mate Ivie. I was frustrated with Ivie at times. She kept pushing Lex away and not for any good reasons. I liked seeing Ivie grow into her powers and become an even more formidable mate. I did enjoy the drama and action and Ivie kicking vampire butt!!! Looking forward to the next book. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

First Class Vampire Romantic Suspense!

Ivy hasn’t had an easy run, what with being previously kidnapped by nefarious vampires … After all she has been through, the last thing she wants is to get involved in any way with those that bite…. Alexander “Lex” Dimitriades is tall, dark, handsome and, yep, you guessed it, one very dominant Vampire. He has also decided that Ivy will be his. Ivy, of course isn’t down with it… Then there are those nefarious vampires still hanging about… So, let the games begin! Once Bitten, Twice Shy is an absolute delight! The writing is fabulous and features dialogue that is laugh out loud funny with plenty of sarcasm, wit, and sass, all brought to life by fantastic narration. This one really held my interest with a nice balance of mystery, action and searing heat with a BDSM vibe. Though part of a series, enough backstory is provided for this one to easily stand alone. I inadvertently listened to the books out of order and had no issue understanding or following the story. I loved everything about it!
