ONE BITE PER NIGHT is Book two in Brooklyn Ann's Scandals With Bite series. This is a paranormal historical romance series about vampires. ONE BITE PER NIGHT puts an interesting twist to the standard guardian trope. In this story, the guardian is the Lord Vampire of Cornwall.

One thing I really like about ONE BITE PER NIGHT is the pace that the romance between Vincent and Lydia develops at. This is a great book for fans who don't like it when the hero and heroine become sexually intimate two seconds after meeting. There is sizzle and there are plenty of sexy scenes in ONE BITE PER NIGHT, but Vincent and Lydia spend time getting to know and like each other before that. I loved that Vincent admires Lydia for who she is, and doesn't look down on her for enjoying unladylike pursuits. She feels free to be herself around him. The chemistry between the two is great and doesn't feel forced. I like how caring Vincent is when it comes to Lydia, even though he is normally such a powerful and imposing figure.

In addition to the romance itself, I like the supporting characters in ONE BITE PER NIGHT as well. After being rejected, sight unseen, by her grandmother Lydia gains a family in Vincent's friends like Ian and Angelica. I like the easy feeling of comradery between Lydia and Angelica. The friendship adds some lighter moments to the story. I also liked the subplot involving Thomas Lawrence and the Siddons sisters. I wouldn't mind seeing Sally and Maria Siddons in future stories. I was worried at first that their involvement in ONE BITE PER NIGHT would be more sinister, but they are interesting and fun characters.

ONE BITE PER NIGHT is an exciting story with steamy romance with some gothic elements. I look forward to future books to see what's in store for other supporting characters like the dark, dangerous, and delicious Rafe Villar.
