Attending their bandmate’s wedding sounded like a fun time but when Johnny Malone and Drake Hanover wake up in a dominatrix’s dungeon, no cell phones or cash and handcuffed to two women, well lets just say things get really dicey, really fast.

Johnny is handcuffed to Lizette, a woman so wound tight it is amazing she hasn’t exploded before now. A paper pusher, all she wants to do is save Johnny from the fate the Vampire Alliance has in store for him but he just won’t cooperate. Then there is Josie, who has saved Drake from a sex swing. She may make some amazing food, but Drake is sure she is the thief and is determined to get away from her. But things go awry and now Johnny, Drake, Josie and Lizette will have to work together to get to the bottom of things before they are found out from the Vampire Alliance.

I got to admit I LOVED this one. This was the first book I read in the Fangs series by these two authors and I have to admit I laughed more than anything. The way these two authors captured the utter zaniness of waking up after a wedding stuck in a dungeon with a woman handcuffed to you…well that is what movies and tv are all about or in this case, what these two authors dream up will leave you gasping as you flip the pages to see what happens next. The story moves quickly, is quite entertaining and left me in stitches at times. The sparks fly between Johnny and Lizette as well as for Drake and Josie. You could feel the simmering sexual tension just sizzle along the pages as it burns your fingertips and leaves you eager to know what happens next. If you are looking for a serious story well, FANGS FOR NOTHING is so not that. It is a light hearted romp with humor, simmering passion and lots of humor to enjoy. This is a book that has you smiling from ear to ear from the moment you open it to the last page you read.

Going to a wedding of a bandmate should have been a simple thing really. Party, watch your friend marry his love and enjoy yourself. It wasn’t wake up in a dungeon, handcuffed and having no memory on how you got there. This was the Worst. Hangover. Ever. Poor Johnny, Drake, Josie and Lizette. These four people find themselves in a pickle when the day after Saxon’s wedding that had Cher Drag Queens, a Dominatrix for a bride and other wild and crazy things happen leave these four scrambling to figure what the heck happened. I loved how these two authors just let themselves go nuts while writing this one. The cast of characters are quite diverse and equally enjoyable if not down right entertaining. They are all well written, completely captivating and I, for one, could not get enough of them all. As this is my first time venturing into the world of the vampire band, The Impalers, I am eager to read more about these wonderful sexy rockers. The characters are well written, intriguing and quite enjoyable. The best part was seeing how sexy Johnny and Drake find the love of their lives when they least expect it. The secondary characters kept the story from slowing down and kept me glued to the pages until the very end.

FANGS FOR NOTHING is more than guy meets girl and fall in love. You get mystery, clues to discover alongside the four main characters and more while you flip the pages, while laughing at all the antics these guys have to deal with, to see what happens next. I am definitely going to check out the first book and I can’t wait to see what else these two talented authors have in store for the vampire rockers. If you enjoy humor, mystery and more with a dash of paranormal in your books, then run-don’t walk-to grab FANGS FOR NOTHING and settle in for one wild fun time.

This is an objective review and not an endorsement.
