One year. Five million dollars. A proposal she can’t refuse. Escort Ruby Scott is used to waking up in the bed of a wealthy woman. What she isn’t expecting is to wake up with a ring on her finger and married to Yvonne Maxwell, one of the executives behind the Mistress Media empire, a woman as alluring as she is cold. For 10 years, Yvonne has been sitting on an inheritance she can’t touch until she’s married. An encounter with an escort in a red dress presents the perfect solution - a marriage of convenience.

Ella Rivers hasn't been okay since the day her mother died. One wintry night, lost in grief, Ella goes for a long, cold walk. It's three o'clock in the morning, and she decides to duck into a gas station to get warm and, perhaps, buy a cup of tea. But when the power cuts out, Ella's life is changed forever. Because, that night, she should have died. And she would have, were it not for the mysterious, white-haired woman who saves her life: Silver.

Alandra Michaels is your everyday, run-of-the-mill, ordinary witch. She doesn't have an affinity for an element, like her sister. She can't speak to the dead, like her mother. Even her familiar - Beezelbub the moth - is a plain, non-threatening insect. Alandra is fine with that; she knows what she is and what she isn't. Or so she thought... When a spell goes wrong and a gorgeous woman shows up in her living room claiming to be the Moon, everything changes for Alandra and her magical abilities will be put to the test. Can she reverse the spell and send Luna back to her realm?

All Maggie wants is to be left alone. She bought a house in the middle of nowhere, a secluded, private place where she thought she'd live out the rest of her life alone. But fate has other plans.... Maggie finds a mysterious, silent woman in her barn one frozen winter morning. The beautiful stranger can't speak, but she's obviously been through hell.

Summary
Courtney Banks owns a failing book store, and her relationship with her girlfriend Mia is falling apart. Courtney doesn't even think she believes in love...that is, until she meets the vampire next door.
Valeria "Lare" Máille is a gorgeous scientist working on cutting-edge genetics. She also just happens to be a vampire, and Courtney's new neighbor. Sparks fly from the very first moment Courtney and Lare meet, and their attraction is undeniable. But in a world where vampires have just "come out" of hiding, tensions between humans and vampires are running high. When Lare's co-workers begin to go missing, it looks like foul play may put Lare in danger, too.
Will Courtney and Lare have a chance at love, or is the cost of falling for a vampire too high?
The Vampire Next Door is a light-hearted paranormal romance that will take you on a journey you'll never forget.
Written by wife-and-wife authors Natalie Vivien (known for her laugh-out-loud contemporary romances) and Bridget Essex (known for her vampires and werewolves in love), The Vampire Next Door is a marriage of humor, steamy romance, and a love story that's out of this world.

As a lesbian I wanted to love it.
The writing style was great and got me hooked really quick. But the entire story was extremely boring. Next to nothing happened. There was nothing supernatural except maybe in the last half hour. The romance didn’t make a whole lot of sense. We didn’t get that much backstory on any one character. In six months if you asked me to list one detail about this story I will not be able to. No joke there was zero action until the very end. And they declared their love for each other after having like 5 polite conversations. I’m so disappointed :( the voices were spot on though.

Maria Marquis! Vampire Romance! Yes Please!!!
5/5 stars This is one of the best Natalie Vivian/Bridget Essax novels and the narration by Maria Marquis omg her performance of Valeria is so good so sensual that it will melt you in all the right places. This audiobook is on par with Bridget Essex "Meeting Eternity Sullivan Vampires Volume 1 books 1-3" which is narrated by Lynn Devereux another Mistress of Sensuality.

Nice love story, with a twist
First time in my life that I listen to an anglophone reader doing a VERY NICE French accent. I am French. Some mistakes and the usual problem with the rendition of the French sound R but the reader does a great job: no caricature, right "foreign intonations". Nice story about tolerance and falling in love. Not too many "hot scenes" (I do not like them, I think being too literal makes things ridiculous), which is a plus. But a very fine way of describing a blooming love. The "suspense" side" of the story is not bad. I like how the vampire theme stands for tolerance, but not in an over-simplistic way. All in all, I obviously like this novel.

Amazing and sexy french accent, sweet love story
Marina Barrett, girl! Why are you not narrating every book on audible? I have listened to A LOT of audio books with some truly amazeballs narration and your delivery of this book blew my socks off. And that French accent? I am dead. The love story is sweet with very low angst levels and a bit of action at the end. It has one scene in particular that was just very sweet and fun and had me grinning like an idiot. I enjoyed this book. It's a no brainier if you have the romance package and even if I didn't I would definitely spend a credit on it.
