Elena O’Rourke has always wanted to follow in her father’s footstep and become a police officer. Now, she’s a probationary detective in her hometown, with a murder hanging over her head. It’s a case of solve the murder… and fast or lose her detective status. She has several things standing in the way. Nobody’s talking; she has more suspects than she can shake a stick at and gorgeous Bo Strongwell keeps turning up in places where she least expects him. Then there’s his strange apartment building and it’s even stranger inhabitants....which includes her sister and small niece, and so many unanswered questions, it makes her head spin.

Bo’s a sexy distraction Elena doesn’t need, but she can’t deny their attraction either or that his kisses and nibbles turn her knees to jelly. What she doesn’t know is that Bo is a master vampire, intent on keeping the people under his authority and the townspeople safe from rogue vampires. Together, Bo and Elena must struggle against their simmering attraction, while they hunt for a killer, and fight off a few vampires baddies, bent on destruction.

Bite My Fire is the second release in the A Biting Love series by author Mary Hughes. Once again, she’s written a fast-paced tale filled with intriguing characters, a colorful locale, snappy dialogue and plenty of sizzling hot sex. Even when the plot turned serious, it still manages to be fun and irreverent, and Elena’s antics caused more than a few chuckles.

The citizens of Meiers Corners are just as wacky and quirky as before and it was nice seeing Nixie’s character again, as well a few new and interesting additions to round out the town, and it’s cast of strange inhabitant. This is especially true of Elena’s dumb-as-a-rock partner, Dirk Ruffles, who apparently has the intelligence of a gnat. This clueless officer is hilarious and his inability to be hypnotized by a vampire great fun.

Thanks for reading and reviewing Bite My Fire! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hope you'll also like December's The Bite of Silence, which takes the action into new territory, and April's Biting Me Softly where Logan gets his story.
