Love Bites #3
Healing Bite
Dr. Tage Bentley has dedicated his life to helping others, from his design of a blood substitute which has helped both vampires and humans alike, to his fight to eradicate human disease. Caregiving is hardwired into him, and there is one thing he longs to care for above all else; a special boy of his own. When Fate grants his heart’s desire, Tage discovers that his boy needs the kind of love and healing that only a Daddy can give.
Andy is all alone in this world. He lost his only family member, his brother Dalton, when he went to prison for burning down a toy store. Though he had nothing to do with the crime, Andy feels responsible; Dalton started the fire because of his rage over Andy’s love for dolls and his “sissy” demeanor. Though pain has long plagued him, Fate is about to introduce Andy to a world of acceptance, friendship, and healing love.
*This low angst, instalove M/M romance features the love between a caring Daddy vampire and his sweet but shy little who is in serious need of TLC. It contains no cheating or cliffhangers, and a very happy HEA! This is the 4th installment of the Love Bites series, and they are best enjoyed when read in order.

About the author
Jayda Marx
84 books537 followersI live in rural Ohio with my husband and two sons who drive me nuts, but I love them with all my heart. I enjoy reading and writing romance of all types, but gay romance is my forte and favorite! Twice the sexy men? Yes, please! My books tend to be low angst because it hurts my heart, but they do contain lots of heartfelt moments, steamy scenes and a healthy dose of humor. Thank you to everyone for checking out my page and I hope you enjoy my books. Happy reading!

It’s just released and now it’s finished 💅 Write more of these ageplays, please ;)
Well that was just as sweet as expected. So much fluff and giddyness loll. I would say this was more easy and OTT than the others but I still liked it. It’s hard not to enjoy anything by JM especially ageplays LOL. And I get to meet Izzy again in this oneee aaaaahh. This didn’t have any kind of hardcore/ABDL ageplays that I like but the sweetness was there. I still like Bite Size Daddy the best 😛 And I need more from this series! (and the other ageplay series) PLS

This was tooth-achingly sweet. And maybe even a bit too sweet.
Kinda wish I read this book when I binged this series (but it wasn't out yet) cus I was really excited for the doc's book. I dropped it at first (cus it was too mushy, but I thought it was because of my bitchy mood) but I picked it up again and Christ. This book was so utterly fluffy, my gums hurt.
There's nothing wrong with that, but this book just feels formulaic and bland because there wasn't anything new here. There's no zing. This feels like an echo of all Jayda's books but no finesse.

I love the little reunion at the end, I thought it was really cute to meet our previous characters and them having fun together.
The author just knows how to write a fairy tale and just hits all the right points I just couldn't stop smiling at all the sweet moments.
It follows the same formula from the previous books which is not really a problem if you enjoyed jayda marx's writing style
One thing tho I don't like how Tage have to bribe Andy's brother in order for him to come around instead of having some sense knock into him.

⭐️ 4/5 – Sweet as a sugar rush but laced with real emotional depth.
🌶️ 2/5 – Soft and tender, but spicy enough to warm your cheeks.
A gentle Daddy vampire and his blooming femme boy—comfort, acceptance, and sweetness with fangs. 🧛🏻♂️💅🏻
Healing Bite is another warm, tooth-achingly sweet addition to Jayda Marx’s Love Bites series. Staying true to the formula of soft-hearted, infinitely patient Daddies, this one stands out with a femme human little and a touch more emotional depth. 💞✨️
Andy’s story wrecked me. Twenty years old, jobless, alone, and overwhelmed by basic life tasks—because his emotionally abusive brother always made him feel small and incapable. The first chapter hits like a fucking gut-punch, especially if you’ve ever felt like the world expects you to just “know how to adult” without anyone ever teaching you how. 😭💔
Tage, is a vampire Daddy who instantly knows Andy is his fated mate—but that doesn’t stop the fear of rejection. Andy’s human, and he doesn’t understand the bond the way Tage does. That gap adds a vulnerable layer that only made me love them more. 🥰💕
The fated mate bond in this world isn’t just about attraction—it’s about alignment. Needs, wants, traumas, desires, love languages, even down to appearances—it all fits like puzzle pieces. Tage has always wanted a sweet, soft boy with feminine flair… and fate gave him Andy. 🧩💘
Watching Andy go from hiding a single Barbie doll to confidently wearing glittery nail polish, pretty clothes, and playing with dolls out in the open? That shit made me cry. It’s not just romance—it’s healing. It’s about being fully, unapologetically yourself and being loved for it. 🥹✊🏻
The spice is light but intentional. There’s a teasing moment with pink panties, some mutual release, and one soft, tender anal scene to close it out. It’s not graphic or kinky, but it’s emotionally intimate, which fits perfectly with the story’s tone. 🎀❤️
If you want a book that’ll wrap you in a warm, sparkly, slightly bloody hug—this one’s for you. 🫂🩸

Quotes:
I spread toothpaste onto the bristles of the brush and Andy smiled widely, exposing all of his pearly white teeth so that I could gently scrub each one. This is why I was lucky; I got to care for my precious boy. By meeting his needs, I found my purpose.
-
I took his hand and led him back to his bedroom. As we walked, my heart sank further into my stomach; I knew that once I tucked him in for the night, I’d be leaving his side, and the realization gave me physical pain. I wasn’t ready to be apart from him. I’d gone over a millennium before meeting him, but now, even one night seemed too much to bear.
-
“Andy, I’d love to stay with you tonight, but only if you’re comfortable with it. I can lie here with you and snuggle all night, or I can sleep on the couch or even the floor; I just want to be close to you.”
-
"I can hear your heartbeat."
"It beats for you."
-
I gripped the base of my shaft and touched my tip to his, causing a shudder to rock through his body. I dragged my skin up my shaft and over my head, stretching it to cover Andy’s tip, docking us together. He gulped hard at the sight of our bodies connected together. I wrapped my palm around our linked and stroked, both of us moaning aloud as our slick heads rubbed against one another.

**2.75 stars rounded up to 3 stars**
Why I thought this one would be better than the other books so far is beyond me.
Which sounds extremely dramatic, I am aware, but I was a bit underwhelmed after finishing it. I can’t even really say why. Because I liked that there was a more feminine little/middle and I liked the plot well enough. It just didn’t really hit the right spot for me if that makes sense.
But I honestly liked the book. I just expected more than it delivered. My bad.

Warnings: Child Neglect & Abandonment, Drug Addiction (Parent)
I quickly spotted Joey and his Daddy Ian, but when I saw the young man they had with them, recognition fled through my body so quickly, my hands trembled and my chest ached with joy and gratitude. I was looking at my mate. After over eleven hundred years on this Earth, Fate had fulfilled her promise. - Tage

Intimate moments include:

Andrew: 20 years old, “Andy”, “Little Duckling”, Human, Virgin, Sweet, Femme, Dalton’s little brother, Left school after middle school
This series is not really all that spicy but this one was even less so. Here we have a sweet boy named Andy who doesn’t know about Daddy’s and littles who finds out that Tage (Dr. Bentley) is his Vampire Daddy mate. Andy had a rough upbringing and it was turned even more upside when his brother Dalton went to jail. This led to him becoming friends with Joey and in turn meeting Tage at the clinic. After waiting over a thousand years, sweet Andy walked right into his life. Andy was the sweetest thing, I think I’ve already called him that three times but it’s so fitting. Dalton’s book is next and he finally gets his redemption and Andy will be back as a side character. I love that both of these MCs got the HEA they deserved. <3
And so I decided I was going to jump in with both feet; to explore it all to find my likes and dislikes, to hold nothing back, and to be the best boy for Daddy I could be. I was going to be brave, and I hoped I made him happy and proud. - Andy

Tage and Andy
This was a sugary sweet read. That’s always a welcome norm from Jayda Marx. Andy was just adorable. Tage was a great Daddy for him. They seemed to compliment one another very well. I will say that this was low angst and low steam. It was also incredibly short. The past abuse towards Andy by his brother was glossed over and he seemed to redeem himself without actually doing anything.
I did like visiting with last characters and seeing them welcome Andy with open arms was wonderful. A solid three stars.

"Healing Bite" unfolds a poignant and heartwarming tale that skillfully blends elements of romance, acceptance, and healing. Dr. Tage Bentley's dedication to helping others, both vampires and humans, sets the stage for a narrative that explores caregiving at its core. This review aims to capture the essence of the story, emphasizing its emotional depth, unique dynamics, and the transformative power of love.
The narrative centers around Dr. Tage Bentley, a compassionate figure whose life's work encompasses designing a blood substitute that aids both vampires and humans and tirelessly fighting against human diseases. Tage's caregiving instincts are hardwired into his character, but his deepest longing is to care for a special boy of his own. The review adeptly conveys Tage's profound desire, setting the stage for the introduction of Andy, a character who embodies the need for acceptance, friendship, and healing love.
Andy's character is skillfully introduced, providing readers with a glimpse into the loneliness and pain he carries after losing his only family member, Dalton. The circumstances surrounding Dalton's actions and Andy's perceived responsibility add layers of complexity to the character dynamics, creating a foundation for the healing journey that unfolds.
The review thoughtfully explores the theme of acceptance, underscoring Andy's struggle with societal expectations and his own self-perception. The introduction of Fate as a catalyst for change adds a touch of the supernatural, enriching the narrative with the promise of a transformative and fulfilling connection between Tage and Andy.
A key strength of the narrative lies in the portrayal of the Daddy-little dynamic between Tage and Andy. The review adeptly communicates Tage's role as a caring Daddy vampire and Andy's need for tender, loving care (TLC). This dynamic is presented as a source of healing, acceptance, and genuine connection, elevating the romance to a deeply emotional and resonant level.
The assurance of low angst, instalove, and a very happy HEA adds to the appeal of the book for readers seeking a satisfying and uplifting conclusion. The absence of cheating or cliffhangers aligns with the promise of a fulfilling and seamless reading experience.
As the fourth installment of the "Love Bites" series, the review wisely recommends reading the books in order to fully appreciate the interconnected stories within the series. This guidance enhances the reader's understanding of the overarching narrative while maintaining the standalone nature of each book.
In conclusion, "Healing Bite" stands out as a beautifully crafted exploration of love, acceptance, and healing. The review effectively captures the emotional depth of the narrative, providing insights into the characters, themes, and the transformative power of the Daddy-little dynamic. Whether drawn to the paranormal elements, the Daddy-little relationship, or the promise of a heartwarming HEA, readers are likely to find a compelling and emotionally resonant story within the pages of this installment.

Vampire Dr. Tage Bentley has dedicated his life to helping others from designing a blood substitute or fighting to eradicate human diseases. He longs for a boy of his own to care for. When Fate grants his heart’s desire, Tage discovers that his boy needs the kind of love and healing that only a Daddy can give. Andy is alone as he lost his brother when he went to prison for burning down a toy store. Andy feels responsible; Dalton started the fire because of his rage over Andy’s love for dolls and his “sissy” demeanour. Though pain has long plagued him, Fate is about to introduce Andy to a world of acceptance, friendship, and healing love.
This was a sweet story of friendship, love and how finding his Daddy allowed Andy to be himself and heal from the hardships of the past. I loved the way that Tage cared for Andy and that Andy's friend Joey had explained Daddies along with the help of his Daddy what it meant to be in a Daddy/boy relationship. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Love Andy and Tage!
Aww! Sweet Andy from Playful Bite gets his story. He met Joey after his brother burned down a toy store. Joey recognizes that Andy is a little and tells him he can call anytime. They set up their first playdate when something goes wrong and Andy needs a doctor. Tage is a vampire doctor and has been waiting for his precious boy for over 1100 years. Yay, fated mates! Let the sweetness and fluffiness begin. These two are so adorable together and I loved how Tage dealt with Andy's brother. Future book, maybe a redemption story?! I also loved that Andy liked tea parties, dolls, and soft and glittery clothes.

So cute!
Tage and Andy are utterly adorable. I often wish Jayda's books were longer to give us more time with the characters, but it's especially true for this one. Andy is so insecure and uncertain and he needs the loving support of good friends and his perfect mate to start the healing process. I loved their story and I'm pretty sure this is going to end up being my favorite book out of a favorite series.
If insta love, fated mates, super sweet stories, and daddies with their littles make your reader's heart skip a beat, this is your perfect read

I love this series!!!
It’s just the right amount of sweetness to brighten my day. I’m so glad we got Andy’s story. He needed someone to appreciate and care for him. His Daddy is his perfect mate. I hope Dalton has learned to be a better person. Andy needs a loving and caring brother and I think Dalton does too.

Love Bites: book 4
Enjoyed reading the continuing series about a group of human "boys" and their vampire Daddies. In this volume, Dr Tage finds his fated mate in the shy, new-to-age-play Andy, and also discovers that his boy has femme tendencies. A quick but sweet read and filled with returning characters from the previous books.

Healing Bite
3.5 ⭐️ this novella is best read after the previous to get the benefit of secondary characters. It was cute but with so many of Jayda’s stories these days it was incredibly short.

I'm wasn't ready for this series to end
BUT Jayda did an amazing job finishing it. The Mcs were so cute and I was a but worried his brother in jail would be a bad guy but honestly Jayda didn't fail me and the whole story was perfect

sweet baby ducks!!!
A great conclusion to the series! I was glad the good doctor found his boy…such sweetness in adversity.
All the littles are adorable in their uniqueness and loving acceptance.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed Andy and Tage’s book. It’s a sweet, minimally angsty, insta-love story and very on-brand for the author. It’s a fun addition to the Love Bites series, which could be read as stand-alone, but are better enjoyed in sequence.

April 7, 2024Now I love Jayda Marx but I’m really not sure if age-play books are for me.
The characters and plot were fine but this was too sweet - I don’t think it’s fair of me to give it a rating because it’s the genre that I’m put off by.

Meh. Disappointing. I expected more and was looking forward to the doctor’s book after he was introduced in the previous one but I wanted a little more angst specially he’s the oldest vamp we’ve seen so far.

3.5 stars. Low angst Insta love between vampire and human fated mates. Easy quick enjoyable read.

What an interesting love story about vampires and humans. Once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down.

I hope the series continues. Although there hasn’t been a book I didn’t enjoy. I’m bummed I read it so fast. Highly recommend

Absolutely loved reading this series! The question is, will there be a book for Dalton?! 🤔

I hope there will be more of these PNR age play stories. They were all well written and very enjoyable. Reading them has reminded me that this author writes hot sex scenes along with the sweet love.
