For Your Bite Only by Zoe Forward – Review & Giveaway

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo 

 

Description:
The best word for Jasmine Renard’s past year is a four-letter word. After years of concerts and increasing recognition, a rogue group of vampire hunters forced her into hiding. When the offer of a lifetime to perform again comes from the arrogant vampire she’s dreamed of shoving off a cliff, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything. Including, Luca Martens.

Luca has waited long enough to be onstage with Jasmine again. Their electrifying musical chemistry damn near blew his mind the last time they performed. To the point he mishandled what happened backstage after their last concert. He’d do anything to feel the spark again while playing, the one only she can ignite. But she hates him.

 

Review:

For Your Bite Only by Zoe Forward is a stand-alone novella.  Jasmine Renard, our heroine, is an upcoming famous pianist, who stepped away from appearances due to a rogue group of vampire hunters, who want to kill her.  Jasmine stays in hiding, until her friend convinces her to fill in Luca Martens concert. She hesitates, not because of her fear (she is told she will have security to protect her), but she hates Luca, though he is a master violinist at the top of the world. 

Luca Martens, our hero, wasn’t sure it was a good idea for Jasmine to fill in, but secretly he was looking forward to her performance, as the chemistry between them in a duo blows his mind, including sexually. Jasmine was engaged to Luca’s brother, before Marcus broke it off, though they remained friends. It was Marcus who convinces Jasmine to perform. When they meet again backstage, Luca feels the chemistry, as well as Jasmine’s nervousness to perform again; especially her facing Luca again.

What follows is an amazing performance when the two of them play together that brings accolades, and Luca is determined to win over Jasmine. He knew the real reason he behaved badly was they he had strong feelings for her, and was jealous that she was engaged to his brother for a prearranged marriage.  When an attempt is made on Jasmine’s life, Luca arranges her to live in his mansion to protect her, as well as have her continue to work with him in performances.  Secretly, he pushes his parent to allow him to win over Jasmine to be his wife, instead of another prearranged marriage.

The chemistry between Luca and Jasmine was hot and sizzling, with both recognizing their feelings for each other.  I really loved Luca and Jasmine, as they made a great couple destined to be together. Jasmine, thinking she has a chance to go out while Luca is away, is attacked by the rogue vampires, which she manages to survive with help from Marcus and Luca. 

For Your Bite Only was a fast enjoyable romantic novella, with a fantastic sexy couple.  There was some suspense and danger, but the chemistry between Luca and Jasmine, and their music together made this a wonderful read. Zoe Forward once again gives us an exciting, fun and steamy story that was very well written.  I would love to see another story about Marcus.
