It Happened One Bite by Lydia Dare

He's lost, trapped, doomed for all eternity...
Rich, titled, and undead, gentleman vampyre James Maitland, Lord Kettering, fears himself doomed to a cold and lonely existence-trapped for decades in an abandoned castle. Then, beautiful Scottish witch Blaire Lindsay arrives, and things begin to heat up considerably...

Unless he can persuade her to set him free...
Feisty Blaire Lindsay laughs off the local gossip surrounding her mother's ancestral home-stories of haunting cannot scare off this battle-born witch. But when she discovers the handsome prisoner in the bowels of the castle, Blaire has no idea that she has unleashed anything more than a man who sets her heart on fire...(courtesy of Amazon)

From werewolves to vampires - there is nothing Lydia Dare can't tackle! Reviewed here, are all of Dare's wolf stories - LOVED them!!! Easily I can say when I open one of the books, I can't put it down until it's done, and I thank my lucky stars that every few months a new one comes out, cause I would be LOST!  

Enjoying all paranormal, I was anxious to see how the transition from a mostly werewolf base would develop into including vampires.  Since these books are linked with a common thread of characters, I hoped that she would tackle it and more!  Yep - That's right - I was not disappointed.  

As the 5th book into the series, most of the characters have been introduced but each 'witch' has had her own story and plot to go along with it.  There's a mystery story, a back story, and a romance with paranormal twists.  Don't forget, this is historical based, so you get the 1800 England/Ireland.  Blaire is a strong battle witch - nothing slows her down.  Amazingly, she might meet her match!  There is quite a bit of action as Blaire and James battle to keep her family safe.  

In the Heat of the Bite is next, July 1st can't come quick enough!
