Originally posted on my blog: Book-Scents.comYou all should know that I can be very picky when it comes to vampire romance stories. Sometimes it can just be so cliche and overdone. (Note: I am not a Twilight fan. Sorry to those who are!) However, Don't Bite the Bridesmaid was a hilarious, fun, angst-free read! I really enjoyed it!Alice and Noah are next door neighbors and Alice convinces him to be her date to her sister's wedding since her former fiance (who cheated on her with her best friend) will be there. This former fiance guy, Brent, is a real jerk and I kept wishing that someone would push him off the cruise ship. Anyway, Noah grudgingly agrees and off they go on a week-long cruise for Alice's sister's wedding.This vampire romance was refreshing. It's not "just another vampire story". It has some unique aspects and while providing some vampire backstory, it isn't bogged down by vampiric histories or practices or anything. It's simply a fun story.I really loved Noah. He's this tall, dark and handsome vampire who is who-knows-how-old, has virtually no personal items in his house and probably perfects his brooding glares in his spare time. He appears stern and unfeeling and yet... obsesses over Alice's fruit scented shampoo and bright sunny smile. It practically melted my heart.I really enjoyed Alice's character as well because while she was hurt and messed up after Brent, she deals with it. She's a strong and reasonable heroine which is great. And the effect Noah has on her? I love it! These two are just so great together!I was sad when the ending rolled around. I wanted more! Judging by the cover that says "A Sons of Kane novel" and goodreads, I'm guessing  that there will be more in this series so, yay! Noah's brothers Alex and Charles were introduced in this one and it should be fun to read about their stories!To sum it up... hot vampire? Check. Fun locale? Check. Hilarious secondary characters? Check. Steamy romance? Check. This was a quick, fun read and perfect for a relaxing, summer day! Go pick this up and prepare for a fun ride!*an eARC was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not sway my opinion or the opinions expressed in my review in any way.
