Story
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.

So what if he's a bit older and usually regards a human female as dinner, not a dinner date? Yes, Roman Draganesti is a vampire, but a vampire who lost one of his fangs sinking his teeth into something he shouldn't have. Now he has one night to find a dentist before his natural healing abilities close the wound, leaving him a lopsided eater for all eternity. Things aren't going well for Shanna Whelan either... After witnessing a gruesome murder by the Russian mafia, she's next on their hit list. And her career as a dentist appears to be on a downward spiral because she's afraid of blood.

When Nara Barns and her tiny crew find themselves with a choice between jail or the sex-slave auction block, it’s an easy choice. Especially when they plan to escape their buyers as soon as possible, anyway. Even better, Nara’s buyer wants her for just six days, long enough to get him through his heat until women from his planet can come to his aid. Six days and then freedom? Sign her up. However, Nara’s completely unprepared for the impact Captain Cathian Vellar has on her body.

As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt.

Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

I moved to Arbor Falls to find myself. Little did I know I'd be thrown into a world I didn't know existed. A world with wolves at each other's throats and enough pack politics and danger to make my head spin. Then there's the fact that I have more than one mate. Not all of them accept me because there's one gigantic problem: I'm not what they expected.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed. Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her, and hers towards him. And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

Summary
But there's another, more pressing issue: her tendency to faint at the sight of blood . . . an especially annoying quirk for a vampire. Of course it doesn't hurt that this man has a delicious-looking neck. What kind of cold-blooded vampire woman could resist a bite of that?
Dr. Gregory Hewitt recovers from the shock of waking up in a stranger's bedroom pretty quickly - once he sees a gorgeous woman about to treat him to a wild night of passion. But is it possible for the good doctor to find true love with a vampire vixen, or will he be just a good meal? That's a question Dr. Greg might be willing to sink his teeth into . . . if he can just get Lissianna to bite.

Good Tale but Terrible Narrator
What did you like most about A Quick Bite?
I read lots of vampire books but this is the first time I have met this explanation for how Vamps came in to being. Thoughtful good tale.
What didn’t you like about Victoria McGee’s performance?
She didn't develop any character voices - very breathy voice got the feeling she was trying to sound sexy. She would put me off other books.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Best Birthday Present Ever
Any additional comments?
Liked the story - can see possible development of these characters.

Great story, awful narrator!
Although not published in order, this is the first installment of the Argeneau Vampires series. A great start to a well loved series - great story line, sexy interplay between the characters, plenty of laugh-out-loud-so-everyone-stares-at-you moments and an ending that makes you want to listen to the next book. I'd easily give it 5 stars BUT Victoria McGee has to be the WORST narrator ever! Sounding more like a cliched voice-over for a 1970's porn movie, she has no inflection, all her characters sound the same and she speaks at about half speed. If there was another version of this I'd snap it up like a shot, but we're stuck with boring Victoria. It is a reflection on how good the books are that I'd rather just put up with her than miss out on a cracking good listen.

Terrible Reader
I had looked forward to this series because it sounded quite promising but I must admit that I gave up after 2 hours of listening, because the reader is an absolute catastrophe. Totally monotonous voice, not even a hint at different voices for representing the different characters. I was really annoyed since I have never before encountered such a bad reading quality. It's a pity because the story sounded quite promising

He's not dessert—he's the main course!
That hot guy tied to Lissianna Argeneau's bed? He's not dessert—he's the main course!
I got this audiobook because a friend kept raving about the series, and I wanted to see what she was on about.
Each book follows members of the Argeneau family, that have been around for centuries...well they are vampires after all!
I have to admit...I enjoyed it!
This is a fun quirky series. Well written with a good set of characters and storyline. And Victoria McGee does a wonderful job at narrating it.

Disappointed
I gave this book a good few hours but it just got too cringe-worthy. The Character definition is poor - lots of characters introduced in a short space of time with nothing really to tell them apart. The Author keeps describing the lead character as 'smart and intelligent' but considering she's supposed to be centuries old she's quite the opposite, silly, stupid and a bit wet around the ears.
This book had so much potential, put it is predictable and immature.

Liked the book...hated the narrator
The Narrator did a far better job when she was doing the guy voices...all the girl voices just annoyed me to no end... trying to be all light and airy did not work the way I think she was going for.
As for the story...i found it funny and I like premise of this vampire family but I think I will just read them and avoid further ones in this series if they have the same narrator. Pity

Good Story
But.... the narrator killed it for me, hence the low star rating. Sorry but the long pauses and drawn out words made the story very hard to listen to. This book would have been better as a read than a listen. This will unfortunately deter me from buying others in the series with this narrator.

This is book 1 of the Argeneau Vampire Series
This is actually the 1st book in the series even though Audible has "Love Bites" as book 1. I listened to "Love Bites" first which has spoilers for this book in it :( Go to Lynsay Sands website for the correct order of this series.
I completely agree w/ the other reviews about the narrator, but I had to listen to the book since I enjoyed "Love Bites" (which has a different narrator) & decided that I wanted to continue w/ the series. To me she sounds like she's trying waaaay to hard to have a sexy, sultry voice and it just comes across as annoying. Her charater voices were just ok for me, I enjoyed the narrator in "Love Bites" version of Thomas much better. Unfortunatly alot of the humor in the story is lost due to the narration, a vampire that faints at the sight of blood, come on, that's FUNNY, not sexy and should have been read that way.
If you enjoy romantic vampire novels (although these aren't technially vampires since they aren't dead or undead) that are amusing, I do recommend this book, if you can stand the narrator, listen w/ the hope the next book has a better narrator.

Can't get past the narration!
I really should have listened to the other reviewers and skipped this book because the narrators voice is the most distracting and annoying thing I've ever heard. The only thing I can liken her reading style to is if you combined the sound of a 90s computer reading to you with an NPR host. This could be the best book ever and sadly I'll never know. Avoid this narrator at all costs.

Nothing spectacular
It was an OK love story. The story covers the span of about a week, whereby the hero and heroin manage to fall madly in love within about two days. Hmmmm. Ok. I get it. Vampires, werewolves are all made up and we choose to not only read about them but also enjoy the process and even wish it were true. Now on top of that adding a two day love story is a bit hard to swallow, especially when,…. Just kidding. Not about to tell you what happens but believe me when I say not much. It’s a very mediocre story mixed with ok writing.

A so-so read.......
I found the story lacking in the ability to engage my attention fully and as a result as I was listening and doing chores - if I missed stuff I did not feel the need to back up the book. The characters and story could have used developing and found it quite predictable at times though I did like the overall consept of the story. I am not sure if I would seek out another of her books to read.
As for the narrator, I thought she did a good job of bringing unique voices to the different characters.
