Publisher's summary

It's all fun and games until someone wakes up dead.

Governor's daughter Jane Anderson is used to getting what she wants. When a girls' trip to Mardi Gras thrusts her into the arms - and fangs - of New Orleans' hottest vampire, he gifts her with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for.

There's only one tiny problem. Jane faints at the sight of blood.

When Ethan Devereaux meets Jane, his cold, lifeless heart learns to beat again. Convinced she's his late fiancée reincarnated, he turns her, claiming her as his own. But when Jane wakes up dead in Ethan's attic, she's loud, sassy, and downright ornery. He doesn't know if he should kiss her or stake her, but one thing's for certain....

She is so not his long-lost love.

But Ethan turned her, so he's stuck with her. Jane has three weeks to learn the ways of the vampire and get her license, or she'll be staked. If Ethan can't help her overcome her aversion to blood, his undead life might also be on the line.

Join the supes of New Orleans Nocturnes as they lighten up the darker side of the Big Easy in this fast, steamy romantic comedy.

So so

There is no character development. The characters lack depth. The story lacks substance. You don’t get that sense of connection to the main protagonists. I’ve read/listened to worse but I’ve also read/ listened to a lot better. There are no original ideas or new things.

Great Story

4 Star
License to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy (New Orleans Nocturnes Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by Carrie Pulkinen . This is my first Audible and I actually enjoyed listening and Hollie done a wonderful job. I honestly liked listening a lot more than I thought I would. It was a nice change not staring at a screen. I absolutely love this author , I love her style of writing and the fact she makes me chuckle. Her characters are fun, relatable and fully developed . Jane and Ethan, she’s the Governors daughter and is used to getting what she wants. A girls trip to Mardi Gras finds her in the arms of Ethan who is a hot as sin Vampire . He gives her the gift of immortality and super strength. There’s one tiny issue she doesn’t like the sight of blood and usually faints. I found myself chuckling throughout this story. These two are funny and whitty. Find out what happens next by grabbing this and giving it a listen. I highly recommend and look forward to more audible books.

A fantastic very enjoyable story!♥️

Oh I’ve loved all of Carrie Pulkinen’s stories because they are always just so much fun to read! License To Bite was definitely a hoot to read and now I’ve listened to this audible version and thought Hollie Jackson did a fantastic job with her theatrics and voices bringing these spunky fun characters to life! I absolutely loved all of these characters and their quirky ways! Ethan’s blamed himself for the death of his beloved girlfriend for the past 25 years and now thinks he’s found her again at the Mardi Gras reincarnated! The more Ethan gets to know Jane... oh boy does he have his hands full with this Texas fireball! This is a very enjoyable and entertaining laugh out loud audiobook that I recommend to anyone! NOW I can hardly wait to get my hands on Sophie’s steamy hot story ‘Shift Happens’ the next in the New Orleans Nocturnes!

A winner

I loved this book the first time I read it and the audio takes it to another level entirely. I felt the narrator did a beautiful job breathing life into Pulkinen’s words and providing emotion and context to this fantastic paranormal romantic comedy. I loved every minute and cannot recommend it highly enough.

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS PARANORMAL ROMANCE

LICENSE TO BITE is the first book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. Though each romance will stand on its own, for better enjoyment you will want to read this series in the order of release.

This book is hilarious! Not just funny, but split your gut and spit out your soda. It is creative, fun, entertaining, and has a great touch of steamy romance.

The chemistry between Ethan and Jane is slapstick funny and then truly, deeply, romantic. Jane starts out as an absolute spoiled brat diva – she is the daughter of the governor of Texas after all, but she has an immortal life now to grow up (and to better tolerate the blood she now needs to live).

The characters are all well written, especially Sophie and I am looking forward to her finding her werewolf in the next story, SHIFT HAPPENS.

Narration: My husband teaches voice talent, and I shared a bit of this book with him tonight. He agrees with me. Hollie Jackson is wonderful. She has an amazing soft southern voice and keeps the different characters individualized without a miss. I'll be looking for more books with her as the narrator.

Note: While I received this as a gifted copy from the author, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

I was sucked into this story and I didn't want it to end! This book was funny and romantic and I enjoyed every but of it. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I will for sure look for more by this Narrator too! Go get this one asap!
Happy Listening!

Romcom goodness

A adorable rom com about the daughter of Texas Governor and a New Orleans vamp that was in in the right place at the right time? Or the wrong time? This story is a cute paranormal story with wit and sarcasm and a happy ending well for one girl. Maybe a nightmare for another. It’s a quick and flowy read that is entertaining and awe inducing. I mean what happens when a girl who faints at the sight of blood becomes a vampire and refuses to drink?!? The narrator did well. I have listened to several books read by here. She’s not my fave but she does a good enough job.

cute

This was fun and cute and everything you'd want from a quick read. I recommend it for anyone who wants to be cheered up.

Excellent paranormal rom-com!!!

License to Bite, an Audiobook by Carrie Pulkinen was an exceptional, laugh-out-loud, rip-roaring, deeply entertaining story of Ethan and Jane. Jane is a squeamish, in-your-face kind of gal…and Ethan is a bit of a reclusive vampire. She is mortally injured while walking home and he rescues her!!! But, he only does it because she reminds him of someone he lost long ago….

I LOVED this story sooooooooooooooo much!!!! I laughed, I cried, I yelled…and (yes…I admit it) there were a couple of eye rolls as well…which all amounted to one TERRIFIC story!!!! I was constantly amused and touched at the same time by these two completely different individuals….

This story was narrated by Hollie Jackson who did a FABULOUS job of bringing out the individuality of each of the characters in the story!!! Her performance had me laughing and groaning….too funny!!! Fabulous performance!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this Audiobook.
