One Bite with a Stranger: The First Novel of the Others

I agree with the reviewer who said they don't understand why this book has been given such lackluster reviews. I bought this book based on the cover and after reading the back. It is the first of this series that I've read & even though I have read some shorts by C. Warren I didn't really have any expectations. I LOVED THIS BOOK! I am going back to read the rest of the series, I thought that this was the first book of a new series based on the cover where it says "the first novel of the others" and after reading it I researched & found out from the author's website that it is an expanded version of a book originally published by Ellora's Cave called "Fantasy Fix" and I guess is a prequil of sorts. If you enjoy hot, erotic romance with a bit of BDSM then you will really enjoy this book. Maybe after reading the previous books in the series I'll have a better understanding of the luke warm reviews but I don't think it will change my opinion that this is one of the best books that I've read in a long time and I read a lot of books.

The latest addition to Christine Warren's Other series was phenomenal. I thought it was a perfect beginning to the series. The characters were hilarious as always and the leading man was dead sexy, no pun intended. I finished it in two days and can't wait for the next one to come out. I will admit that if you are not a fan of gratuitous sex scenes and lots of romance then you probably will not like this book. But I think it was the perfect combination of steamy romance and exciting action. I was so excited to hear that Fantasy Fix was being re-written and re-released and it did not disappoint at all. The only complaint I have is that there needs to be a book about Missy and Graham. In the teaser for the next novel she implies they are already together and I would love to hear the story of their meeting. But all in all a wonderful book and I would highly recommend it to any of Christine Warren fans.

This is the first time I've ever read anything by Ms. Warren. It won't be my last!!! Although this is an erotic romance, Ms. Warren managed to pen a story with a fun storyline with great characters and not one aspect of this book was dropped due to the nature of the book!Regina has just broken up with a looser and is not really in the market for a new one. Her friends have another idea all together. They feel that they need to hook her up with her "Fantasy Fix". She is going to live out her most erotic fantasy whether she want to or not. Feeling cornered she writes down the most outrageous things she can think of knowing that they won't be able to pull it off. Well, Regina has no idea what's in store for her but she will sooner then she knows!Dmitri is not what he seems. He's tall, dark, yummy, and a vampire. He sees Regina across a crowded bar and realizes that she is his mate. The one woman that he has been looking for, for centuries. He only has to prove to her that he's what she wants. With his supernatural powers he finds out what he deepest darkest fanatasies are and sets to acting them out for her. Winning Regina's heart will not be easy but the chemistry between them is too hot and Regina can't seems to get Dmitri out of her head. Literally!! Will Regina find that she can't turn her back on the fantasy of her dreams?As I stated earlier this was a great romance. Romance being the key word in the previous sentence. Although this is an erotic romance, sex is not the only thing you will find in between these pages. Ms. Warren has a quirky sense of humor that she shares with her readers, as well as developing wonderful characters. I highly recommend this read and I look forward to reading Ms. Warren in the future

I savored this deliciously erotic novel like fine wine. Fantasy Fix mixes two fantasies of mine: Domination/submission and vampires. The latter isn't doable, but I sure love to read vampire erotica! This intoxicating novel introduces us to Regina, a New York career woman who has just ended a bad relationship. In a misguided attempt to help her move on, Reggie's friends force her to be part of a game called Fantasy Fix in which they fix each other up with men who'll fulfill their deepest erotic fantasies. Reggie has fantasized about vampires and being dominated in bed. She may well meet a dominant man, but the closest she'll come to a vampire is by hooking up with a wannabe vamp at a gothic club. Or so she thought. Dmitri Vidame is the dominant rogue she'd never allowed herself to envisage and a whole lot more. Not only is he gorgeous and has the sexual prowess of a bull, but he can read her thoughts and communicate with her mind as well. But Dmitri hides the fact that he's a nocturnal creature with a penchant for blood... This is one of the most erotic novels I have read. The romance and erotica mingle well and one does not outdo the other. The building of tension was flawless. I loved Dmitri. He's one of the sexiest characters I've read. And, as said earlier, the fact that he's both dominant and a vampire makes him all the more delicious. The whole fantasy about an immortal offering a human woman eternal youth and beauty is very sexy. What could be sexier than a sensual and masterful alpha male who can offer his female mate eternal life? I loved this novel, but found a loose end. How did Dmitri become a vampire? The author fails to supply that very important piece of information. I would've liked to know. Other than that, this is an erotic novel that should be devoured from beginning to end. I shall look forward to reading more books by Christine Warren. Another great offering from Ellora's Cave! I cannot recommend this delectable novel enough!

Fantasy Fix is a start to a series thats a delight to read.A groups of friends meet and deside that each one should have their Fantasy Fix.. their Fantasies come true.. so each of the friends writes down their Fantasies over their weekly get together. Regina 'Regi' writes down her most outrageous fantasy knowing that none of her friends will make this one come true.. How wrong could she be...Dmitri is proof. Not only is this book funny and entertaining. I liken it too your consuming your favourite chocolates.. decandant and endulging but addictive. Regi's group of friends their antics especially at the end of the story is hilarious... Not to be missed.
