A 3.5 star for me.

This is a fantastic short story. It has all the elements I like: mystery, action, romance and a hot werewolf.

Ava’s job as sheriff is to keep the peace between the shifters, vampires, and humans. Yep, it’s as easy as it sounds, especially with someone out there killing humans and vampires. The suspect turns out to be Ava’s hot one night stand Julian, Alpha of the wolf pack. The connection between the two is strong and Julian wants Ava back. Together they need to find out who’s been doing the killings and keep Ava alive after she’s been betrayed by those she should’ve been able to trust.

For a short story this was remarkably detailed and did leave me wishing it had been longer and more developed. It could’ve show more easily been novel length. show less
A very short story! I liked it well enough, it had an interesting plot and the writing was smooth and ideal for a short story, but I definitely felt like I was missing out on something. I would say you need to read the rest of the series this comes from. I found this for free in Amazon and thought I'd check it out. I'm glad I did, and I'm sure to check out the rest!
As far as paranormal romance goes, "A Bit Of Bite" is packed with bite despite being barely a couple of pages. Set right in the middle of action where Ava, the sheriff of a town with its own population of supernatural is troubled by the serial cases of murder which implicated the alpha werewolf of the town, Julian, the werewolf she had a one night stand before and who Ava holding out flame for him despite everything.

Due to the length, it doesn't provide a good medium for an overall character development as the romance have already started off-book and both of them are just sorting out their feelings with each other.By mixing light romance with a thriller in the midst of danger, so far the short story is enjoyable as a light reading. show more

Already I was checking up the author's work especially her werewolves and vampire series. As far as kindle freebies go, this is one quality reading and a great introduction to the author's work.

I actually really enjoyed this super short read. It is PNR Erotica with a bit of 'Murder'
It was the first book I ever read by this author and got me wanting more of her writing.
I actively looked for more of her books and found some I really enjoyed and some I did not.
This one was a fun read and I loved the characters. It definitely needed MORE body and depth.

Aww, I really enjoyed this book. Sure it was short but it was also a well thought out story with a good plot and characters.
Ok I just finished. I think the main characters are cool and hard ass. Ava is smooth and Julian was smoking hot!! But it was to short with not enough back story . And what about Ken ? Really, what about him? Why was he such a hater? was there something bad that happened? was he a bigot? and if he was why? And was that really the only reason she left hottie over there? What was up with the bar? if its so popular why wasn't there more... more? I really really love Cynthia's stories but this one left me wanting. I will be waiting for the next story to come out to see if it compares more to Vampire's kiss or more toward this one. I hope its the former.
For a short story, this has a lot happen in it. A great taster of this author's work.
