For the record, I’m not usually a paranormal book fan. Did I read and like Twilight? Yes. But since then I really haven’t touched anything that had to do with vampires. Until now… Why did I choose to read this? Well… the book synopsis sucked me in and I said what the heck. Since I haven’t, until now, reviewed anything in this genre I figured I’d mix things up a bit. What I wasn’t expecting was to really like this book! I wouldn’t classify this book as just Paranormal ~ it’s really a Contemporary Paranormal Romance and Robin has sold me on giving this genre a chance!
Sex and the Single Vamp was exciting. The sizzle between the main characters, Cici and Deacon, was red hot. They have more than just physical attraction; they have 200+ years of history between them which made their emotional connection very believable. The story jumps right into these two wanting to get it on, which normally makes me say “Yeah, right… like that’s realistic” but in this case, it totally worked because we know they have history.
I love an alpha-male that isn’t a douche and Deacon totally made me swoon. He’s stubborn and sexy and very, very protective, especially of Cici. When Cici’s life is threatened and she goes to Deacon for help, he goes super alpha and stops at nothing to protect her. But he doesn’t just want to protect her… he also wants in her pants! Cici can’t resist Deacon and, for the record, I wouldn’t have been able to either! When they finally end up getting it on, after 200 years of dancing around their attraction, holy moly do the fireworks explode! I’m telling you… hot!
One of the things I loved about this story was the fact that it spanned over 200 years. It was interesting to hear about historical events that shaped their relationship into what it is today. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and will definitely be reading more of Robins work! Sex and the Single Vamp will release on March 24, 2014 and is available for preorder now!
My rating: 4.5 stars

Jen loves to read. She can’t stop herself. It’s become an obsession. She is in love with her husband, kids, iced coffee and books. Jen lives in beautiful Colorado but is originally from the West Coast.
Interesting with the historical aspect to it adding to the story. I haven’t read a hot book in years, so maybe I’m due!
Oh I will check this book out. I am a fan of the older vampire movies, when they were more about the passion. Sounds like this book is right up my alley. Thank you for sharing.
I am almost a little embarrassed to say this, but my husband is going to love this book. He LOVED Twilight (yes, really) and loves to read anything with vampires.
I haven’t read a vampire book since the Twilight series either. Perhaps it’s time. This one looks super steamy! Who doesn’t like that every now and then?
I think the base of this relationship (always spicy, protective love) is why most people liked Twilight, and in turn 50 shades. People crave to be wanted!!
I love vampire romance stories. I’ll have to check this one out for sure.
Just the title of this book cracks me up! I have to tell my aunt about this title, it sounds right up her alley!
I think the history spanning over 200 years would be really interesting too! That’s a great way to pick up on things you might not know or have missed hearing/learning about.
I am currently reading some paranormal books right now and it is some of the first ones I have read in awhile. It it the LUX series. They are really good and not to scifi ish. I will have to check this one out.
Yup, I love these types of stories…. Vampires, shape shifters, wolves, All with a paranormal flair!! two of my favorite paranormal romance authors are Christine Feehan, and Sherrilyn Kenyon,Their main character men, are just like Deacon, so hot!!
I can’t remember the last time I read a book just to read a book. Thanks for sharing about this one. I’m on a goal to read a good book, and soon!
I need to find more time for reading, I miss it! Looks like a good book. Thanks for the review!
Sounds interesting. Im not into paranormal books either but I do like shows like true blood. So maybe.
I’m always looking for good new books for my “To Read” stack. This sounds good!
This may be shocking, but I’ve never read a vampire book. {I know, crazy isn’t it.} My daughters have read the Twilight books but I’ve never checked them out. Maybe I need to try some vampire fiction!
Sounds like an interesting book. Not something I would ordinarily read but I might just give this one a shot!
Eek! I love vampire books!!! This looks like a fun one
This sounds like a great read! Deacon sounds interesting! 🙂
I have several friends who would be interested in this. Definitely going to share your review with them!
I’ve never been a big paranormal reader – I’m not into vampires or zombies. However, I like stories of romance and combine history….so this might be a read for me.
You know, I never read Twilight. It seemed a little too teeny bopper for me. This book however, sounds more like something I would enjoy!
this sounds raunchy! I wouldn’t be able to carry this book around though ahah
I haven’t read anything by Convington before. Great review and I will have to check it out this Spring!
4+ stars…that’s a pretty good rating. I’ve been in need of a new book lately.
This looks really good to me. I stopped reading vamp novels because I was sick of them but your review makes me want to read this one!
This sounds like an interesting read. I was very into Twilight series and 50 shades series so I think this may be one I would enjoy
Honestly I am a little vamped out but would keep this title on reserve for a few friends.
It does sound like there is a lot of sizzle in this book. Glad you liked it!
4.5 stars is a pretty good rating! Glad that you found a good book. I wish I had a little more spare time to read!
Sounds like a good book, but I don’t really do vampires.
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear.
Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again.
Regardless, just wanted to say fantastic blog!
