But I think that why i loved reading it to. YOu don't see very many books that use the name jackie. I love all ove Lynsay Sand books and foudn each one intersting new this one just kind above the otehr though because of the same name heh "A Bite To Remember" isn't anything to write home about. It truly isn't a book I will remember clearly in a month or a year. However, this book, was a fairly entertaining read, and an improvement over "Love Bite", "Single White Vampire", and "Tall Dark and Hungry". Sands has made a wonderful world of vampires here. The Argeneau family is a hoot, and I really find myself wanting to know more about them. Sands gives and original and exceptional reasoning for the vampires. Her's is seriously one of my favorite explanations of vampirism. The problem is her previous books have felt exactly the same to me, change the name and place and the stories were redundant. "A Bite To Remember" changed that at least a bit for me. There was an interesting mystery to resolve and the romance was put off for just a little longer than normal. The funny parts weren't in every scene, but they were realy funny, unlike in the other volumes, in my opinion. The book has drawbacks. It still felt very formulaic. It wasn't very exciting. I kept thinking about other books I had in my TBR pile that I could be reading. However, this book was my favorite Argeneau novel, after "A Quick Bite". Jackie does not like vampires. After being wronged by one she doesn't want it to happen again, but when Vincent Argeneau needs her help seh starts to get feelings for him after a few days. Vincent needs Jackie to track down a sabateur who is sabotaging his plays. The only thing stopping them is the fact that it could be a vampire trying to get back at Vincent for doing somthing he doesn't even remember doing. I like this book because I like vampires and this just further sparked my interest in them. PI Jackie Morrisey previously dated a vampire and he broke her heart, this is a problem with her latest assignment with Vincent Argeneau where she's bodyguarding him. Someone is threatening him, killing his previous loves. However he's very tempting.. Yes it's pretty obvious what happens, but the investigation is also fun. Fun and quite readable. Vincent seems a little to remote, not really in touch with his surroundings. Jackie seems to be a little too intense, overly hung up on her surroundings. The concept of life mates has removed the need to develop the relationship in this novel. And the mystery is too abstract at the beginning, and too abrupt at the end. Mostly an uneven story for an average romance novel. no reviews | add a review

Rule #1: Never get involved with someone who won't be there for you when the sun comes up.
Once bitten, twice shy, and sexy PI Jackie Morrisey wasn't going there again. Vincent Argeneau may be the hottest guy she's ever met, living or dead, but she's here to stop a killer from turning this vampire into dust, not to jump into bed with him.
Rule #2: Never kiss a vampire . . . it can be a pain in the neck.
Okay, so Vincent's had four hundred years to perfect his kissing skills, and he does look rather tempting when he runs around the house shirtless. He's also charming, protective . . . did we mention he can kiss? Jackie needs to be on her guard, or else she'll have to come up with a new rule: If you're going to fall in love with a vampire, make sure it's a bite to remember.
