Tempting Tuesday: Some Girls Bite Read-Along Chapter 5-8

Hosted by Tina at Tina's Book Reviews, Rummanah at Books in the Spotlight, Missie at The Unread Reader and Jenny at Supernatural Snark.
I am a turtle! That's the only explanation for me to read this book so slow. I am pretty sure everyone in the read-along has already finished this book while I read four chapter a week! *face palm*

Last week we discussed chapter 1-4 of Some Girls Bite. You can find the post here. Today's discussion will be on chapter 5-8. Head over toTina's Book Review for more info.
In what is a make you blush, steamy scene in the book- Chapter 5 has Ethan and Merit sharing a few hot moments after Merit's hunger strikes...that is until Ethan becomes a total cad! What do you think of him so far? Strong, masterful vampire, conceited playboy.....lover boy in disguise?
Hmmm I don't really know what to think of Ethan. He is a strong masterful vampire no doubt about that. I feel like there is an agenda for him to turn Merit. Yeah maybe he didn't plan on making her a vampire that night but the conversation between the two vampires (supposedly Ethan and another vampire) when Merit was being turned was a dead giveaway that he had been stalking Merit for quite some time. Or maybe everything was purely coincidental. Who knows! Ethan is a confusing vampire. He clearly wants Merit but lacks the modern day knowledge of how to ask a girl out!
Merit and Mallory begin some major training in these next few chapters, resulting in cool Katana Sword facts and Ninja moves. What is the most physically challenging or adrenaline fueled event/activity you have participated in?
*stares at monitor* 
I am the laziest person I know!! Akk

My father takes us hiking whenever he can. And let me tell you, waking up at 4 in the morning and hike up at the top of the mountain to see the sunrise is not my idea of fun. Ugh. We don't get to go that often now but it was fun whenever we went, even though I was the last to reach the top. *sigh*
Mallory and Catcher have sparks so intense they almost fly off the page.....what do you think of this cozy couple? Did you like the insta-love between them? Do they add to the story?
I liked the chemistry between Cather and Mallory. Instant fireworks and stuff works for me but it felt too rushed I guess. What! I like my romance that slowly builds up. 

They settle in this story only makes me want to read about something that focuses on Cather and Mallory instead of Merit.
Lets talk Bff's....Mallory is hands down a terrific friend to Merit, the girls relationship is real, down to earth and fun....not to mention hysterical. What is your favorite memory or favorite thing to do with your bff? Feel free to share pics!
I miss my school days! I have known my besties a little over twelve years. I think our mother had hard time keeping us apart. But now we don't get to see each other much ;(


We hang out mostly on the holidays. The last was on 31st night bbq'ing. I just realized there are nothing particular that we do. But whenever we are together these days we end up in the kitchen cooking. I am not much of a cook but I make awesome desserts. 

Love love LURVES my bffs! Wish we hanged out more.
Things are starting to heat up in the mystery department...the set up at Red, Morgan's flirty appearance.... Catchers vague answers......as correlation day gets closer for Merit do you think someone is out to get her...or maybe recruit her to another house? Or PS- feed her some more food...because goodnight this girl likes to eat!!!
I was reading about Merit's eggs and sausages this morning and found myself craving greasy breakfast!

yum
There is someone that wants her. I am absolutely positive. There are so many reasons, first she comes from a wealthy very well-known family, her grandfather is the Ombudsman and Ethan has taken a personal interest in Merit. Also she exhibits signs of becoming a Master vampire!

Keeping it smart and small
Long Hard Ride by Keta Diablo

I liked it. There weren't too much drama, just two men in the run from villainous warden and on the way falling for each other. Drake was take charge kindda doctor and a partner. Wellbourne was headstrong but not always the submissive kind.

For a light erotic reading in an hour totally worth-it.

It Was The Dead Who Groaned Within by Kipp Poe Speicher

Really short. The story finished before it even started. But it was planted out cleverly so the readers get a bit of story out of it.

It was free on smashword. So not really complaining.

My Book Boyfriend: Giovanni Vecchio

Today I will be introducing another book boyfriend of mine. Giovanni Vecchio from Elemental Mysteries series by Elizabeth Hunter.




Name: Giovanni Vecchio
Age: Over 500 years Ialian
Was turned into a Vampire around late 14oo's
Has the power to manipulate fire
Appears in Elemental Mysteries series




Giovanni's Italian accent is enough to make you go weak in the knees. He can manipulate fire, has complicated relationship with his son and he is completely smitten with Beatrice De Novo.
She stood in front of him, her eyes bold as she met his hungry stare, and all Giovanni would have had to do was take one step and he could have wrapped his body around hers, laid his mouth on her soft neck, and swallowed the thick blood that called to him. He swallowed slowly, and ignored the burn in his throat and the smell of honeysuckle and lemon that filled the air.

“I’m not going to deny that I’m attracted to you, Beatrice. Denying that would be foolish and insulting to us both.”

“But you’re not going to kiss me again, are you?”

“No.”

“Did you want to bite me?”

He searched her eyes, trying to determine what answer she wanted, but though he had observed humanity for five hundred years, her enigmatic eyes were still a mystery to him.

“Yes.”
~A Hidden Fire
Giovanni was quite hard to pick but I think Gilles Marini will make a totally awesome 500 year old Italian vampire with blue fires comeiong out of his hands.
