Bitten & Smitten by Michelle Rowen

Bitten & Smitten:
Sarah Dearly has had a bad date. What else would you call being buried alive before dessert? Not to mention that bite mark on her neck, and the creepy way her date keeps saying that he’s sired her. Then those guys with the stakes show up and turn her date into so much dust! Sarah runs for her life, only to be rescued by a tall, dark, and handsome stranger. Sure, she interrupts him as he’s about to throw himself off a bridge – but as far as rescuers go, Thierry de Bennicoeur will have to do. Only problem is their age difference. He’s a six-hundred-year-old vamp with a death wish. She’s a new kid on the block with a need for someone with experience to show her the ropes. And to keep her one step ahead from the vampire hunters that are in town to rid Toronto of the ‘monsters’. Sarah doesn’t know what to make of all this. Sure, she’s got a healthy hankering for blood lately, but she doesn’t feel like a monster. Just an unemployed girl looking for love. Even if the object of her affection—Thierry—can’t go out in the sun for very long.

This first book in Michelle Rowen's Immortality Bites series is filled with humor and characters that are easily lovable, a great book from start to finish! Sarah finds herself immersed in a whole new world after the tragic blind date her best friend had arranged. As if waking up covered in dirt in the cemetery wasn't bad enough, when she tries to escape her desperate date she runs into none other than a group of vampire hunters. After witnessing her "sire" being hacked to bits by the hunters she flees and is pursued, a stroke of fate has her literally landing in the arms of Thierry, a 600 year old vampire who is contemplating suicide, as her rescuer. As a fledgling, Sarah has a lot to learn about being a vampire...Hollywood has it all WRONG! She mistakenly becomes involved with a vampire hunter, Quinn, and when he becomes a vampire himself, finds herself caring for the two new 'men' in her life. And as if dealing with two new men weren't enough for Sarah to deal with, Quinn's father, a well known hunter, uses a traitor amongst the vampires to infiltrate their clubs, creating a conspiracy against the strongest and oldest vampire in the city, Thierry...
