After being in a relationship with someone, only to find that they controlled every aspect and her as well, she doesn't trust any of them. And when Bastien asks her to do him a favor to help his cousin, she is willing to do so but not expecting the blindingly handsome to stir up every emotion and sense that she has.

My Thoughts
A Bite To Remember is the fifth installment in the Argeneau Series. As far as vampire romances series this is one of my favorites to read. I love the whole scientific angle to being a vampire, so I enjoy these more since they are more on the enjoyable side of being a Vampire. So its always a delight to read any book in this series. A Bite To Remember is Vincent's story, and one of my favorites of the series. I love how Jackie already knows about them, and even though she has this fear, I felt that throughout this book she slowly overcomes her fear and truly embraces what being an Immortal is. It was also a delight to see characters from other books in the series come into play as well. Overall I found this to be a charming romance filled with danger, mystery, passion with endearing characters.
