Cover Reveal: Bite Me by C.C. Wood with giveaway!

C.C. Wood holds a very special place in my heart. When I first started blogging, she sent me her first book, Friends with Benefits. It wasn’t out yet, and wasn’t even on goodreads. I added it for her. I was so excited after reading it! I felt like I discovered a new hit author, because I loved the little novella! It was funny, snarky and sexy,my favorite combination (see my review {one of my first}). Since then she has released 3 more novellas, and I have loved each of them. (See the list at the end of this post)

CC and I have become friendly. She came to last year’s Wicked Book Weekend (and we won’t mention anything about the gnome incident!) and I’m so excited she’ll be headed to Ft. Lauderdale for next year’s Wicked Book Weekend in March with her new little baby!

Now CC has taken her signature feisty, humorous side, and combined it with some more serious moments, and she has written her first full length novel. And it’s got bite! It’s been a while since I read a new vampire book. I miss reading about the guys who are so alpha and dangerous and on the edge of losing control. Yum. I also know that there are some very familiar characters, and one might be sporting my real name, but I know she has an issue that I don’t. That’s all I know! But I will and I’ll be reviewing it on release day, September 17th. (Despite her being a friend, I’m honest in my review, though it sometimes kills me.)

I had the perfect life; an awesome job in advertising, a gorgeous high rise apartment, and a flirtation with the guy down the hall. Then it all came crashing down.  Two months later I was a cocktail waitress living in a tiny one bedroom apartment. I had also developed a serious ‘men suck’ attitude.

That all changed the night I met the beautiful and enigmatic Conner Savage. But there was just one little problem…he said he was a vampire. Figures a man that hot would be batshit crazy. Or so I thought. It didn’t take me long to realize that Conner wasn’t a nut job and that I was addicted to him. With every moment we spent together he drew me deeper into his world and the supernatural culture in which he lived.

Now I had a choice: the vampire I craved or a normal life. Couldn’t be easier, right?

I watched Ricki, Ivie, Kerry, and Shannon stare in awe as they walked up the steps to Conner’s McMansion.  My chest felt tight from nerves.  I was a little worried how the girls would react to the palatial home that I was now living in.  Actually I was more worried about how they would react when they found out I was living here and that I let the lease go on my apartment.  I could see this night descending into a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

“Don’t be so nervous, Donna.  The ladies love me.”

I was sure that most women did.  I shot him a sidelong look.  “I’m not sure my friends qualify as ladies and they will love you.”  I paused.  “Eventually.”

“Well I could always make them think they love me.”

I elbowed him.  “No mindfucking my girls.”

When I threw open the front door to welcome them, Conner was still laughing.  All three of them stopped short and stared.

Ricki was the first to speak.  “Holy fucking shit, I think I just had an orgasm.”

Leave it to Ricki to vocalize exactly how I felt the first time I saw Conner laugh.

They all stared at Conner like he was a god.  I think a couple of them drooled.  I snapped my fingers in front of their faces and they woke up from their trance.

“Hi, girls.  This is Conner, my boyfriend.  Conner, this is Ivie, Ricki, Kerry, and Shannon.”

He nodded to them.  “Ladies, welcome to my home.  Please come in.”

I gestured the women to follow me.  I knew that they were staring at the obvious wealth around them just as I had the first time I came to his home.  Conner’s house was tastefully done but the furnishings were obviously expensive.  They were nudging each other and whispering.  I knew that I would be getting the third degree as soon as we were all alone together.

We trouped into the kitchen where Conner and I had set out plates of cheese, crackers, and fruit.  I had also mixed two pitchers of sangria, one of which I had hidden in the refrigerator.  If I put all the booze out at the beginning of the night, the girls would drink it all and start in on whatever else was handy.  Conner’s bar was well-stocked with expensive hard liquors.  As much as I loved my girls, I didn’t want the very first girls’ night in at Conner’s to cost him hundreds of dollars in alcohol.  He might never let them visit me again.

I poured everyone a glass, including Conner.  Pleasantries were exchanged.

Out of nowhere, Shannon burst out, “My God, you’re the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.”

I rolled my eyes and waited to see how Conner would handle this.  I knew my girlfriends well enough to stay the hell out of it.

He glanced at me and realized immediately that I would be no help.  “Why thank you, Shannon.”

Ivie looked at me.  “I like his accent.  Do you make him talk dirty to you during sex with that accent?  I bet that would be hot.”

Ricki popped a piece of cheese into her mouth.  “I think his ass is hotter.”

“Is he hung?” Kerry asked.

It was the last question that got a reaction out of Conner.  He choked on his sangria.  All my girls dissolved into gales of laughter.
