Description from the publisher:

"Marry the devil...or die." That's the ultimatum Belle Harrison, vampire slayer, just received from a demon. Belle has only one response: To hell with him.



Turns out it's not that easy, though - apparently the devil doesn't know the meaning of the word no. Lucky for Belle, three pantie-melting vampires come to her aid. Three hot vampires she can't resist. Hey, we all have our vices. Hers just happen to have fangs.



She's going to need these three to help her thwart the devil's marriage proposal and defeat the terrifying dark force that wants her dead.

VAMPIRES DON’T GIVE HICKEYS is the first book in the Slayer’s Reverse Harem series.  They will need to be read in the order of release.



Anytime someone says “slayer,” we all immediately compare to Buffy.  There is no comparison.  There is no Angel, Spike, or any of the rest of the Scooby gang.  Instead, there are three hot, hunky, undead men who are devoted to Belle before she is introduced to them.  Eddie, Jacek, and Sawyer are Belle’s harem of hotties and each is uniquely able to help Belle in her duties as the slayer and to grow as a person.



I like that it was a short story, but not rushed.  I loved that there were touches of humor to keep it being as dark as the graveyard.  Finally, one of the main things that I like is that the story (and Belle) didn’t immediately fall into a foursome.  Instead, she – and we – gets to know all three of the new men in her life as individuals and as more than just their fangs.



This is the first I have read from this author, but I would love to read her other series.  I’ll be diving into book two of this series this week!



Narration:  I think I’ve found a new favorite!  She does a beautiful job of creating a scene in the mind whether it is suspense, lust, humor, intensity, or anything in between.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
