Review: 3.5 stars - Trope+Vampire = a cute read
Rating: 4 out of 5

The trope for Don't Bite the Bridesmaid is... Alice needs a 'plus one' for her sister's wedding so she won't look like a loser to the ex-fiance best man who cheated on her (with her best friend) and decides to ask the gorgeous Ethan who she's been crushing on. The paranormal part is: Alice's neighbor Ethan is a vampire who needs to get out of town hoping that by being scarce he can hide from the 'council' who is trying to set up an arranged marriage for Ethan.As a character Ethan is more sketched than fleshed out, but that didn't really bother me - I think I have this 'hero' in my head so I was able to fill in the blanks for this initially grumpy immortal who falls for the sunny Alice - who is very likeable and also has a likeable family. The romance is nicely steamy with just a little roadbump (actually a 'big misunderstanding') to make the pair work for a HEA after they fall for each other.So I enjoyed Don't Bite the Bridesmaid, a nice little cotton candy romance in a cellophane paranormal wrapper and I would consider reading the stories for Ethan's 'brothers'.
