Scandals with Bite

review 1: I am someone who enjoys reading paranormal romance so have read quite a few vampire stories but this historical based one is certainly different to others out there. It's the story of a young woman Lydia who has grown up in America but when she is left with no family travels back to England to live with her grandmother . Unfortunately her grandmother has never forgiven Lydia's father for marrying beneath him and refuses to have anything to do with Lydia. Many years ago a pact between her family and the Tremaines of Cornwall was struck and the Countess Morley reminds the current Earl Vincent Tremaine about it and insists he take her granddaughter in. Unbeknown to all though is the fact that Vincent is indeed the one who agreed to help when needed as Vincent is a vampire and... more he still remembers the debt the owes .Lydia arrives in England to find she is unwanted by her own family and instead is offered a home with the most intruiging man she has ever met. Vincent is so honourable and has agreed to help launch her into society so that hopefully she can meet the man who will be her husband . Whilst undergoing rigorous preparation for her debut amongst the Ton Lydia realises that it's Vincent himself to whom she feels drawn but he is an unknown quantity that mystifies Lydia. When they travel to London Lydia is a roaring success but her heart is already taken by the somewhat distant Vincent but all is not as it seems and Lydia plunges headlong into danger !I'm not really sure about this story if honest. It's not a dark or gothic romance although these vampires do have powerful abilities and Vincent is such an upstanding hero that it's impossible not to like him but I wasn't really convinced about the vampire world . It just didn't feel gritty enough to me and I felt it was quite a light take on vampires. The heroine Lydia has been raised in America and in comparison to English girls is quite liberated and independent . I liked that about her and it made me smile but at times I did wonder if maybe the author had made her a little too forward thinking as this is an historical romance and not a contemporary one. They certainly have chemistry and the oh so noble Vincent was a complete revelation as the storyline picked up and events occurred as the plot progressed . It wasn't exactly what I expected and unfortunately some things felt a little predictable to me but it is well written and held my attention so I would certainly try something else by this new to be author .
review 2: 4 STARS(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).When Lydia Price's parents die she is sent to England to live with her estranged grandmother, the Dowager Countess of Morley. However, the last thing the Dowager wants is her granddaughter in her life especially when her favourite granddaughter is also coming into Society. She asks and offers payment for Vincent Tremayne, Lord Vampire of Cornwall to take over guardianship. Vincent says yes to save Lydia from her own grandmother and sets out to get his ward married off quickly before she finds out what he is.As Vincent and Lydia spend more time together it's not only his secret he has to conceal but his own feelings for his ward. Lydia knows there is something odd about her guardian but she sees his kind side and cannot help but want him. I really enjoy Brooklyn Ann's regency vampire world...there is a great balance of paranormal, historical romance, adventure and humour. Lydia and Vincent have great chemistry - she is spunky and he is very broody which is really fun to read. My other favourite thing about this book is that Ian and Angelica (hero and heroine from the first book) make a big appearance in this novel. I would recommend this to fans of Lydia Dare. less
