Love Bites by Angela Knight – a Review & Giveaway
Love Bites
Four Stories of Dark Hunger
by Angela Knight
Release Date: September 2, 2014
Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / The Book Depository
Description:
In The Bloodslave, Angela Knight’s classic “must read…highly erotic” (*The Best Reviews) novella, a female mercenary comes under fire during a hunt. The beautiful, virginal, and very human Verica is captured by three hungry alpha vampires driven deliriously feral by her purity. But they desire more than her warm blood. They want her body, leaving Verica more vulnerable than ever before—and loving every minute of it.
By day, a romance author puts her fantasies to paper. Her nights are another story. The perfect alpha male—not quite human, and absolutely insatiable—is invading her dreams. And with each sleepless night, she wonders… Are they really only dreams? Then, when an alpha male vampire hunter sets his sights on a pair of vampire lovers, things don’t work out quite the way he had in mind. Plus, Angela Knight introduces the Doms of the Round Table and a kinky circle of pleasure, pain, and power as she returns to her “sexy as hell” (Heroes and Heartbreakers) Mageverse world for a new twist on the Arthurian legend.
Review:
Oath of Service
Oath begins with Morgana Le Fay meeting up with three of Arthur’s knights: Cador, Marrok and Percival. They are trying to ferret out a being who has been on a kidnapping and killing spree, but Morgana seems off of her game and the others are worried that this will ultimately cost them all. Not to mention Percival seems a little “off” as well……. But when Arthur calls them in for a mission gone awry and tells them to get it together or he’ll split them up, they all know that they’ve got to get it together. After the meeting, Arthur holds Percival for a moment longer and tells him to bed Morgana or to let it go. Or better yet, have her swear her oath of service to him and get her out of his system. After all, Morgana and Percival despise each other. And, what would Morgana get out of pledging herself to him and being his submissive? The short answer: the fantasy of a lifetime……….. However, they have a mission to accomplish. Will the oath of service strengthen or weaken their trust in each other? Only time will tell……
Be Careful What You Wish For
Be Careful begins with a trio of vampires, Beau, Decker and Amanda, setting out to help a “friend” of Decker’s who has piqued the interest of a powerful wizard. And, his ire. Once the trio assure said friend that they will take care of the problem, they get a bit more than they had bargained far. The wizard is convinced that the spell he casts against them will tear them apart. I’m guessing the wizard would have done well to have known his quarry a little better, as it is always better to be careful what you wish for…..
The Bloodslave
What do you get when you combine three hot vampires and a human female virgin, who just happens to also be a hired mercenary? Let’s just say things get a little steamy. They are all on a far away planet fighting their own battles, whether it personal or for money, when Verica is captured. The three vampires threaten to rip out the throat of the merc who is getting on their last nerve, but once they capture her, the things they threaten take on a whole new meaning. And, to top it all off? Verica is digging the threats.
These are the first stories I’ve read by Angela Knight. As you may have surmised, the characters in Oath of Service are straight out of Camelot, but they’re paranormal y’all!!!! I have been a huge fan of Arthur and his knights since I was a child and when I started that story, I was hooked!! Come to find out, those characters are part of an ongoing series. A series that I plan on getting to know a whooooole lot better.
Stories two and three were very, very short, so you really don’t get much character development and don’t know much about them, other than their sexual chemistry is steamy, to say the very least. If you like a very quick steamy read, those are for you. If you like a little more character development and Camelot with a twist, Oath of Service will not disappoint. I, for one, can’t wait to read more by Angela Knight.

Great reviews, Vickie. I have not read Angela Knight.
Wonderful review Vickie. I find it difficult to review anthologies or serial formats.
Love Angela Knight. Great reviews Vickie can’t wait to red Morgana’s story. ove this series and Angela’s writing.
Terrific reviews, Vickie. I have this series on my list to read.
Great review Vickie. I used to read Angela Knight’s Mageverse series. Loved her spin on Arthur and the Knights of Camelot with Vampires. However, I’ve fallen down on keeping up with the series. Didn’t realize she was still writing it. Damn, going to have to get back to it. My two fave heroes in the series are Sir Gawain and Sir Lancelot.
Great review and giveaway. Thanks ladies .
Great review, Vickie. I have this book on order, but haven’t been told that it has shipped yet. i enjoy Angela Knight’s books.

I did not know Angela Knight had a new book out. Going to go add it to my wish list. Thanks for the review.
A number of years ago I picked up an Angela Knight story about a vampire that saves a little girl and then they meet up again years later. Then I ran across one of her Mageverse books and that cemented my love of her stories. I would love to read this story as Morgana was a character that really, really need a story of her own. I want to read this definitely!!!!! Thanks so much for the opportunity!
I love Angela Knight and I would love this,the icing on the cake is another story in the Megaverse,and Morganna’s story is sure to be an awesome read … loved the reviews ….. ruth.gutscher@cox.net
