About this listen
Blair
I'd been waiting my whole life to run. When I uncovered hidden papers detailing my inheritance, I knew my time had come. I packed my trunk full of plant babies, black nail polish, and determination. With my demons in the rearview mirror and my trauma for company, I made my way to Elmwood. The remote Maine mountain town is home to my future, a potential love interest, and a lot of really weird, possibly deadly secrets.
Richard
Until recently, the most interesting thing in my life had been a particularly difficult Sunday crossword. Even my vampiric transformation hadn't disrupted my life much—it was still boring and repetitive, albeit with more blood than I'd previously dealt with. When newcomer Blair—a charming five-foot-tall vegan ball of rage—blows into town, it's all I can do not to follow him like a love-sick puppy. He’s everything I’ve been missing, but there's a catch: I need to spy on him and convince the Council he’s innocent of his mother’s crimes. Here's hoping I don't end up with a corpse instead of a boyfriend.
Bite Me! (You Know I Like It) is a standalone slow-burn paranormal MM romance with high heat, an HEA, and no cliffhangers. If you like spooky stories with mystery, suspense, hilarious miscommunication, and characters that make you laugh, listen on!

Alexander Cendese has a noticeable NY accent, fast delivery and somewhat grating voice which would be great for an excitable character, or a fast paced action type book. However when it comes to romance, where some scenes require more of a sofer, slower delivery to really build up the emotion, intimacy and feelings of connection - he bulldozes right through them which pulls the reader out of the story and lets the writing down.
Fae Quinn is great at writing very descriptive scenes, characters who have lots of internal monologue and soft intimate moments between characters, but you miss a lot of that with Alexander's fast delivery style. Even when you slow his parts down, the delivery just isn't there to build up the feeling of connection.
Unfortunately this isn't the first time his narration has ruined a romance book for me, so going forward I'll be avoiding his work in this genre. Don't get me wrong, hes a good narrator, I just dont believe romance is the right genre for him.
So even though I followed along on my kindle, I'll probably have to re-read this story without narration in order to really appreciate it.
Mixed thoughts - good story, but 1 narrator let's it down.
