The Delight
I was in the mood for something, quick, flirty, and funny so I snatched up The Vampire Relationship Guide v. 1 to begin the serial story of average gal Josie who starts off just wanting to meet and maybe spend an evening with a vampire. How hard can it be since they’re out there in the open now, right?
Review
This freebie ended up being exactly what I thought it was. It was an easy read that was mildly amusing. Josie has some snark in her and a ton of naivete, but there’s no harm in her. She can’t believe her luck when she catches the eye of a wealthy, debonair vampire, but also a scruffy, call it like he sees it one, too. One is the vamp of her dreams and the other she wants to shout ‘in your dreams’.
It was fun, but not real complicated. Josie has a little adventure and gets her eyes opened wide on the real vampire life and also learns quite a bit about herself at the same time. The story wraps up the main plot thread and ends things on a happy for now note that will carry it onto the next leg of Josie’s adventures.
This one isn’t meant to be taken seriously, but if someone’s looking for a quick and light paranormal to fill an hour or two, this freebie (which is still free) is a good bet.

Gotta love a fun quickie. 😀
Absolutely!
Ha, I bet this had some hilarious moments!
She really found trouble without even trying. 🙂
This sounds like a fun, cute read! I really love the cover!
It had me giggling a few times. The cover is great.
Sounds like a fun one. Sometimes you just need something light and easy. 🙂

Exactly, Lauren. Made me laugh a bit and wrapped up quickly when I just wanted something for a little niche of time.
Great review. I do agree that this series is better read in order because of the small details that build up in the series.Sorry to hear that this book didn’t quite meet up to expectations although it still sounds like a solid read.
Thanks, Renee!
It has a good build all the way through the first arc and continues that connected feeling with the characters into the second arc so in order is definitely the way to go.
Yeah, it wasn’t bad, but it didn’t have what some of the previous books did for me. It took a long time to get to the heart of the story it felt like. Yeah, I’ll just look forward to the next one. 🙂
This one sounds great with the romance and adventure set in an exotic location. I like the sound of how they have to focus on staying alive and the romance slowly builds between them. The jungle setting sounds fun too. I hadn’t heard of this author before, but might check out one of her books as it sounds like a good one. Great review!
She does write some good adventures. Hope you get the chance, Lola!

Sounds fun. I do like short reads and can let a little silliness go for novellas.

Yes, I was in the mood for a light one that didn’t take itself serious and could be read in one sitting. It did the job. 🙂
That sort can hit the spot now and again. Great for when life is really chaotic but you still want to get a little reading in 🙂
Yes, exactly. I don’t want a steady diet of the stuff, but now and then for a quick read is just right. 😉
