Don't Bite the Director
Indie horror film director Cora Lee is dying…
But she came to terms with that years ago and is ready to embrace the great beyond. Provided she gets to finish making her vampire movie first, that is. So when a real vamp shows up on set trying to shut the production down, she’s not having it… or him. He does offer her an out though–accompany him home to plead her case to the vampiric higher ups. Surely nothing bad could come from hopping in a car with an incredibly sexy vampire.
Sent to compel Cora into dropping her film, the last thing Saiden expected to discover was that she was his mate. Exciting? Yes. Problematic given that he still has a mission to complete? Also yes. Easy solution–he’ll lie to her to buy some time so he can convince her to turn. Surely he can woo the woman who should be supernaturally attracted to him.
He has all the time in the world.
Her clock is quickly ticking down.
As they hit the road, Cora only has one hard and fast
Don’t bite the director!

This book was soooo cute and funny! If you’re looking for a paranormal rom com then look no further than this gem of a book. I’m not sure how many times I swooned, kicked my feet giggling, then got sucked right back into the story!
If the catchy title is not enough to pull you in then read the premise. An aspiring Hollywood director wants to cast the perfect vampire for her horror flick and who comes to the casting call? A vampire sent by his family because our director got one too many things right about vampire lore! We have a steamy, forced proximity romance from there on out and some fated mates mixed in. Overall, I highly recommend this book!

"It's a horror film!" Cora screamed. "Key word being 'horror.' This isn't some damn sparkly vampire romance story. The vampire is the bad guy. He kills people. He enjoys it. He doesn't fall in love with them for f***k's sake!" (pg 17)
Oh, how wrong she was!
Cora had long embraced the fact that she was dying, and the only thing she wanted was to finish her movie about vampires. However, casting the part of the lead was proving to be impossible due to lack of funds and lack of proper talent.
Along came Saiden, who appeared to be the perfect candidate... but surprise! He was an actual freaking vampire! And to her dismay, he wanted nothing more than to wipe her memory and put a stop to her film.
Saiden found himself in a bit of a dilemma. He had a mission to complete, but he didn't know that Cora was, in fact, his mate before he agreed to it. Finding his mate was something he never thought would ever be possible. And of course, there was a small problem, that time was running out for her and he'd have to do whatever he could to convince her that there was a solution.
Due to Cora's illness, she had moments of weakness, Saiden had an amusing habit of catching her before she could fall. The more time they spent together, the more he and the vampires endeared themselves to her, despite her surface reluctance
To make matters worse, Saiden's past deeds caught up to him, putting them all in danger. Could he save her life? Would she let him?
This was everything you'd want in a rom-com. Loved the banter and the quips, the struggle, and the danger! And OMGosh, "Operation VAJ"?! 🤣 Much props to Cora, too, for her resiliency in all situations!

Such a great vampire romcom! Definitely recommend!
I finished this book pretty quickly because it was such a fun read! I laughed out loud multiple times while reading. Both of our main characters are interesting and I enjoyed seeing their banter as well as the sweet moments between them. Even though they’re fated mates, it isn’t an “insta-love” story, which made me happy!
There is good disability / illness rep in this book which was nice to see. I’ve never read a book where a character has the same condition as the main character. (I don’t want to spoil what it is, since it’s revealed later in the book). There is also some spice, which was well done, but I would personally consider this book to be lower on the spice spectrum.
I love vampire books. I love seeing how authors use common lore and what unique ideas they bring to the table. There were plenty of the typical vampire ideas here, but Kirk also brought in unique ideas, which were fun to see! The apple idea was SO cool and I’ve never heard of that before. I’m hoping that comes back in book 2!
This is a series I will definitely keep an eye on for when the next book comes out!

This was a great read. It's fast paced and it I couldn't put it down. I adore vampires and love when they are not the bad guys. So this vampire romance is right up my alley. I enjoyed the dual pov and that there still were so many secrets to uncover. I hope there are future projects planned with these characters because I'm not really ready to let them all go.
I was gifted this eARC by the author but this is my own subjective opinion.

I’ve been in a serious vampire mood ever since reading Hot for Slayer by Ali Hazelwood, and Don’t Bite the Director hit the spot, and then some. This was such a fun, easy read with a grumpy (but secretly sweet) MMC. Saiden absolutely loses it for Cora, and watching him put everything on the line and go feral for her was 🔥 I loved that she’s just as fierce and strong-minded as he is, which made for some truly entertaining moments.
The banter was fantastic, the found family and fated mates vibes were perfection. On top of that, T. M. Kirk gives her own spin on vampire lore, which made the world feel fresh and addictive.
If you’re in the mood for vampires, sharp banter, and fated mates who would burn the world for their other half, this one is definitely worth picking up.

This was so much fun! A one-sit fast-paced and highly entertaining read. I got completely sucked (pun intended 😉) into the story. I grew up with Buffy and I loved the vampire vibe and the way Saiden and his ‘family’ live their lives. It was so funny that I was chuckling out loud, but also heartfelt because of tough things that Cora is going through and I love that she’s so determined and headstrong to make decisions for herself. The story developed beautifully and just took me from scene to scene ensuring that I couldn’t put it down.
I would love for this to be a movie and it would be so much better than twilight, sorry for the people who like that. 😉
Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!!

From the start of this novel I felt that I knew exactly where this was going and I was looking forward to it! It's one of those books you just can't seem to read fast enough despite it already keeping a good tempo. But oh, what a ride! It had me laughing out loud a good couple of times and I was thoroughly enjoying myself and then the book took a sudden dive into a deeper level, gripping me by the throat and leaving me utterly spell bound. I devoured this book like a starved vampire sucks down a pint of blood!

During the filming of a vampire horror movie, a real vampire shows up to the casting call and tries to shut the production down. Director Cora has to follow him home to plead her case to a vampire leader.
This is such a cute book! I fell in love with both Saiden and Cora the second they were introduced. Each are equally sassy, and stubborn, and it was honestly so fun to watch them butt heads.
Kirk also brings a unique spin on vampires to the page that I had a lot of fun learning about.
I'll need at least three more of these, please and thank you T.M. Kirk. ;)

Great mf vampire Rom-com.
I was laughing out loud at the banter and the situations these two got into (particularly that meet cute scene).
She’s a director of horror films and is skirting to close to the truth with her new movie. He’s a vampire sent in to close it down for fear that vampires will be discovered.
Fun read with forced proximity and fated mates.
I hope there will be more from this world.

A MUST READ FOR VAMPIRE LOVERS!
A film director Cora Lee,and a REAL vampire Saiden Massaro , who shows up on her set for a role.
I LOVED THAT !
T. M. KIRK has an out of the box vampire ideology concept, and I really liked that style.
Readers prepare to laugh throughly by witty blatant dialogue throughout.Then at other moments guessing.
So excited to see T. M . KIRK future books.!

This was my first T.M. Kirk book but it won't be my last. I absolutely loved this fresh take on a vampire romance. The banter between the two main characters was 🤌 chef's kiss. The FMC is fierce and fiery even though she has a medical condition, something else I loved about her. The MMC is gruff and grumpy most of the time but he saves his soft spots for her. I loved every minute of this book and these two characters. Highly recommend.

This book. I don’t feel like my review is really going to do it justice. Absolute delight.
This is perfect for someone who:
-Loves Twilight, but wanted feisty characters
-Doesn’t mind a little light kidnapping
-Is possibly a sucker for a bad boy enforcer who turns into an awkward mess around his mate
-Fun banter
-Touch her/him and ☠️ vibes
-Fated mates
The way the author wove Cora’s Huntington’s Disease into the story was magnificent, allowing it to shape her, but also allowing her a strength from it.
While this ends on a happily ever after, if you pay attention, I definitely think she’s setting us up to see more in this world of vamps.
Note: There’s some explicit language and an open door spicy scene.

Don’t Bite the Director by T.M. Kirk: Road Trips, Reels & Really Hot Vampires
If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a terminally ill indie film director and a smoldering vampire got stuck on a road trip with unresolved sexual tension, sharp dialogue, and a ticking clock of doom… well, congratulations—you just described the chaotic brilliance that is Don’t Bite the Director by T.M. Kirk.
From the opening scene, this book oozes heart, horror, humor, and heat. I went in expecting a quirky vampire romance and walked out emotionally unprepared, deeply entertained, and a little bit obsessed.
Meet Cora Lee, a no-nonsense, sharp-tongued indie horror film director with one last passion project to finish—a vampire movie, naturally—before she succumbs to a terminal illness she made peace with long ago. She’s not afraid of death. What she is afraid of? Not finishing her damn movie.
So when an actual vampire struts onto her set trying to shut the whole thing down, Cora is not here for it. She’s got zero time for undead dramatics, no matter how painfully attractive the guy is.
Saiden is the vampire sent to silence the production. But instead of a quick job, he finds himself face-to-face with the woman the universe has apparently chosen for him: his mate. Awkward. And just a little complicated, since he still has orders to carry out. But what’s a little cosmic soulmate drama in the grand scheme of things?
His plan? Lie. Stall. Woo. Bite (eventually). Easy, right?
Wrong. Because Cora is the definition of stubborn and her number one rule is the book’s title:
Don’t. Bite. The. Director.
What follows is a deliciously offbeat road trip romance full of existential dread, found footage horror energy, snarky banter, vampire politics, and just the right amount of steam. Every scene between Cora and Saiden crackles with tension—romantic, emotional, and yes, sometimes mortal.
This isn’t your average vampire romance. There’s something raw and bittersweet here, a tension between life and unlife that feels deeply personal. Cora is facing the end of her story, but Saiden is desperate to write a new one with her. It’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and surprisingly profound.
T.M. Kirk nails the tone—a perfect balance of snarky irreverence and emotional gut punches. The writing is witty, atmospheric, and undeniably original. Think: indie horror film meets paranormal rom-com with a side of soul-searching.
Whether you’re here for the vampire-lore-meets-Hollywood-drama, the crackling chemistry, or the surprisingly thoughtful exploration of mortality and legacy, Don’t Bite the Director delivers it all in spades—and then drives it across the country with a coffee-stained screenplay and a reluctant immortal in the passenger seat.
If you love books that are quirky, smart, a little spooky, and a lot swoony, this one is a must. Cora and Saiden are the kind of couple you root for with your whole heart (even if one of theirs might not be beating). Add this to your TBR if you’re craving something deliciously different.
And remember: don’t bite the director… unless she asks nicely.

Such a fun book to read with hilarious and heartfelt moments. It's nicely paced with some suspenseful moments, although the romance and tension between the main characters predominates. All of the supporting characters are interesting in their own right, and I couldn't help falling in love with each of them. I don't want to give too much away but here are some excerpts I felt describe the relationship of Saiden and Cora. The interaction occurs when they first meet and Saiden pretends to audition to be in Cora's vampire horror movie:
"Tell me Saiden, why do you think you would make a good vampire?" He couldn't help it. The question was just too perfect. And if he was going to be forced to deal with humans, he might as well have some fun and give the girl a little thrill before he wiped her memories. He grinned, "Because I am one."
And once he convinces her he really is a vampire, she has an important question she'd like to ask:
"He gave her a pitying look, confident he knew exactly what she would ask. It was what they all asked. "And what would that one question be?" Cora lifted her face and something bright twinkled in her eyes now. All traces of fear were replaced with a dancing excitement. It was going to hurt him to crush her little heart. Patiently, he waited for her to ask the age-old question that every vampire had to deal with. "Will you be in my movie?"
"I was expecting you to ask me if you could become a vampire. It is what literally every person asks when they find out the truth."
"No amount of money in the world would have me hopping on the vamp train." She couldn't quite read the expression on his face, but he seemed almost upset by her declaration. Was it a vampire pride thing? Did she insult him in some way by not begging to spend forever by his side? It was always sad to witness a fragile male ego in action.
I loved the banter, but there is more to the book than fun interactions will all the characters. Cora, independent woman that she is, wants to go her own way. And yes, Saiden is hot, but he hasn't exactly been endearing or truthful enough to convince her to be his forever, forever love. If Saiden forces her to become a vampire, he loses everything. If he lets her leave him, he loses everything. It will take a mansion full of vampires to unite the would-be lovers, and a little help from Fate wouldn't hurt.

Cora is a horror film director and Saiden is a vampire enforcer who is tasked with finding and containing anything that can blow the cover on vamps' existence. By the purest of chance, Cora’s script contains this damning information (I laughed when I read what exactly this was at the end). Saiden is sent in to erase her memories and destroy the evidence but turns out Cora is actually his mate, so his mental powers don't work on her.
Despite this seemingly obvious answer, it takes Saiden a while to figure out she is the most important person he will get to have in his life, so he shows Cora his full ‘I’m a hunter’ personality. Both of them have a one track mind and are stubborn to boot, so they eventually agree to meet Saiden’s sire. Cora so she could plead her case and Saiden so he could get someone else to finish the job of erasing her memories.
Enroute, he discovers a) he has been an idiot b) his mate, unlike others, thinks becoming a vampire is a fate worse than death c) his social skills are rusty and he needs help, because mutual attraction doesn't seem to be enough to pull them together.
The story has a lot of funny moments and I had a smile the entire time I was reading this. I especially liked the creative use of insults. It reminded me of Kerrylyn Sparks vampire series.
The host of secondary characters with distinct personalities (and powers) and back stories and how they all looked out for each other, like a giant found family, was such a heartwarming tale. The love story between Cora and Saiden wasn't without its challenges. Cora is a heroine with a strong backbone and gumption, and quite fearless, but then she lived and breathed horror movies. Not to mention how she deals with her terminal illness and the constant spectre of death hanging over her. Saiden is such a softie for her. We see how much of a mark his work has left on him, and yet he toils on, because it is necessary. I love stories that blend the supernatural, with humor, heart touching romance with vulnerabilities and soft moments.
A great read you won't regret picking up this spooky season.

*I was given this book as an eArc but my review is based solely on my own thoughts and opinions*
I absolutely love how this author started the first and second chapter of this book, the comparisons but how it differs, got my attention right away. Very smart. I’ve never read a mated book with vampires, most of them are wolves or dragons, this was a great and fun take on it. I usually hate bickering but for some reason I love theirs haha. It was funny. One of my fav lines:
“What kind of tiny dick energy is needed to drive without a spare tire just so you can go an extra two miles per hour?”…..
“First off,” Saiden gritted out. “We both know my dick is anything but tiny”
Don’t blush. Don’t blush. Don’t blush.
Hahaha cracked me up. It was also nice to recognize some cities because I’m from Northern California where their trip is. I like how the relationship wasn’t purely sexual, there was story and context and growth to it. It was an interesting take on siring, one I’ve never heard of before. What seemed off was the “bad guy” at the end, it felt off because there was no build up or background, if this was gonna happen, I would have liked in the beginning, more information about this investigation, him digging up stuff, finding clues, idk anything lol. It just came out of nowhere like is this the same story? Haha. I also wish there was more story about what happened with her dad. Also, I would have liked Jinx more involved, I feel like she could have been a great and funny supporting character. Those are all just tiny things. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this book a lot and will be buying it for my book collection. I’m really appreciative to have been able to read this and thank the author for the opportunity.

I’ve never read a mated book with vampires, most of them are wolves or dragons, this was a great and fun take on it. I usually hate bickering but for some reason I love theirs haha. It was funny. One of my fav lines:
“What kind of tiny dick energy is needed to drive without a spare tire just so you can go an extra two miles per hour?”…..
“First off,” Saiden gritted out. “We both know my dick is anything but tiny”
Don’t blush. Don’t blush. Don’t blush.
Hahaha cracked me up. It was also nice to recognize some cities because I’m from Northern California where their trip is. I like how the relationship wasn’t purely sexual, there was story and context and growth to it. It was an interesting take on siring, one I’ve never heard of before. What seemed off was the “bad guy” at the end, it felt off because there was no build up or background, if this was gonna happen, I would have liked in the beginning, more information about this investigation, him digging up stuff, finding clues, idk anything lol. It just came out of nowhere like is this the same story? Haha. I also wish there was more story about what happened with her dad. Also, I would have liked Jinx more involved, I feel like she could have been a great and funny supporting character. Those are all just tiny things. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this book a lot and will be buying it for my book collection. I’m really appreciative to have been able to read this and thank the author for the opportunity.

When vampire enforcer Saiden is sent to shut down a film set in LA, the last thing he imagines happening is finding out the sassy director is his fated mate. Cora is determined to produce her movie if it's the last thing she does. Based on the severity of her medical concerns, it just might be. After putting out a call for an actor to be her vampire lead, the last thing she expects is for an actual vampire to show up. Saiden finds he can't use his powers to influence Cora into dropping the film, so he decides to take her to his sire for help. His found family of vampires immediately accept Cora, but she's still in the dark about being his mate. With the clock ticking on her mortal life, Saiden is determined to give her the choice of forever. When old enemies surface, Cora's options suddenly dwindle. It's better to ask forgiveness than permission, right?
This kind of read like a B horror movie, and I'm actually really impressed. The good vampire who hunts down bad vampires meets the love of his eternal life, and she's hellbent on going out on her own terms. The terminal illness twist puts a time constraint on everything because for a vampire, what's a year or two in the grand scheme of things? However, neither Saiden nor Cora get to have that talk when his enemy takes revenge on him. Honestly, if I were Cora, I'd probably have a similar reaction, especially after being kept in the dark from day one. I enjoyed the found family dynamic of the cadre and the overwhelming support system Cora has with them. It would have been nice to integrate some of her before life with her after, but maybe in the next story. There's only one spice scene in here, but it's notable because Saiden worships at Cora's alter.

Spice Levels: 2/5, one scene mildly descriptive.
A fresh take on vampire lore.
This was such a fun read, I couldn't put it down. The characters were well written, the action was intense, and the love was passionate. I'm not going to call this insta-love because I don't feel like mate romances fall into that category. I enjoyed the way this one developed though. Experiencing Saiden's emotions as he already knew what was happening between them, mixed with Cora's emotions who didn't have the words for what she was experiences when she touched him left a great balance.
The lore sprinkled throughout the book had me wanting to know more about vampire history and hierarchy. The author brings new twists to the idea of what it means to be a vampire, making the read less predictable, and more curious. I won't soon get over the choice of kryptonite for this world build, genius.
Not to mention all the cousins, and their personalities. I need more books focused on each of them. When you're alive forever, you're either brooding or eccentric, there's no in-between and I'm obsessed. My only complaint is that it ended too fast! I miss these characters already.
Finally the A+ representation for disabilities. It's so rare to stumble on books that have rare health conditions, seeing Huntington's in this book made me warm and fuzzy. Plus deaf representation, in a the film industry? Yes please! I hope Cora's new life doesn't mean her friendship will suffer, because I also want to know more about Jinx!
You'll love this read if you enjoy soul mates, vampires and fast pace plots.

🩸 Spicy rom-com
🧛 Vampires
🩸 Fated mates
🧛 Witty banter
🩸 Forced proximity
🧛 One bed!!!
🩸 Touch her and ☠️
Cora doesn't have long to live and has come to terms with this, but wants to make her vampire film before she goes. After an on-set mishap she is looking for a new leading man who will embody the villainous vampire she has in her mind. Saiden is the enforcer, who spends his time hunting down rogue vampires, who is sent to shut down Cora's production for getting a little too close to the truth. The last things he was expecting to find is that Cora is his mate. To buy some time Saiden promises to take her to his boss, to plead her case. Can she convince the higher ups the let her movie be made?
Both Cora and Saiden are slightly snarky and sassy but ultimately they are both sweethearts. They go head to head with their witty banter and Cora is not going to make it easy on Saiden, even if she does find him incredibly attractive. Their chemistry grows as they spend time together and once they arrive at the compound things start to really heat up. There are a lot of laugh out loud moments and the side characters are interesting, I'm so keen to see where this series goes.
I had a great time reading Don't Bite the Director - it's a genre shift for T.M. Kirk whose fantasy book The Diamond Palace I have read and loved. I'm definitely going to be reading whatever they write next regardless of genre!
Thank you to T.M. Kirk and Naughty Nook PR for the ARC, my opinion is my own.

3.5 ⭐!
Cute, fast-paced paranormal rom-com with genuinely fun banter. Saiden is broody and emotionally naive in a way that works for him, and I really liked Cora as a driven director chasing her dream of producing her vampire debut. Her having the diagnosis added an interesting emotional layer, especially since she had zero desire to be turned ... and fate taking that choice away raised the stakes nicely.
The worldbuilding had some creative concepts I enjoyed, like The Spark as the mating bond, vampires only getting one chance to turn another once - intended for their mate, and Lilith’s unique gift for newly each vampire (even if some gifts were a little… convenient 😅). There were also some very over-the-top details that made me laugh more than once, but overall this was a fun, easy read.
"Obscenely tight a$$. He wouldn't forget those words as long as he lived. Every grueling second he'd spent training three hundred years was suddenly worth it."
"There was no rehab for the drug that was Saiden, and one more taste might lead to lethal injection."
"His bloodthirsty little horror fiend. She was more suited for the life of a vampire than any he'd ever met. And yet..."
Oh. And always carry an apple with you, ha. Read to find out why.
The frequent use of similes gives the narration a very distinct voice, though it occasionally felt a bit heavy for my taste (still adored it).

“Fucking undead asshole. He was trying to turn her into dinner. Just because he was convinced that he could control how much he took, didn’t mean she would offer her neck up as a midnight snack.”
Don't Bite the Director by T. M. Kirk is an amusing vampire rom-com with all different vampire antics and quirks. And I’m writing this ARC review as a perfectly capable living human. Pinky promise!
The story is about Cora, an indie horror film director who doesn’t have long to live. Saiden, a vampire, is sent to shut down her current film production, which has quite a few vampire secrets no human should have known.
Although I was thinking about DNFing it within the first two chapters (its dual POV didn’t feel that intriguing), I started loving the storytelling soon. Both characters have an undeniably strong chemistry.
The book is mostly humorous, with several laugh-out-loud moments, but it also has keeping-you-on-edge tense moments. And a pinch of mild spice.
It doesn’t have long, unwinding world-building, and it has opted out of long, in-depth character descriptions. Still, it’s visual enough to enjoy the story while keeping your imagination alive.
Perfect for fans of paranormal romance and those who are looking for light-hearted romantic comedies.
Absolutely recommended!

Oh my heart! T.M . Kirk has done it again! I absolutely loved this story about a stubborn director and a ruthless vampire. This story started out with Cora directing her beloved vampire script and finding the perfect villain for the main lead. With little money to produce the movie, finding a decent male actor to fill the lead role became more challenging than she anticipated and funds were becoming slimmer. To top it off, Cora never imagined or anticipated that her vampire movie contained some factual information about vampires that put the entire creation at risk. The gorgeous and stubborn vampire, Saiden, was tasked to destroy Cora's script to keep the vampire secrets safe. He assumed that destroying the script and compelling Cora would be so simple, but it became more challenging than he could've ever imagined.
I absolutely adored Cora and her entire personality! She is very strong-willed, stubborn, and very sassy despite the fate that is awaiting her. Her and Saiden butt heads more than once in this story and the banter is just perfect!! I loved seeing their relationship transform and Cora finally finding a family that she feels was hers the entire time.
Thank you T.M. Kirk for allowing me the opportunity to read the ARC copy of this story! To say I enjoyed it, is an understatement. I devoured every word and can't wait to read more books from you!!

Thank you so much to the author and Naughty Nook PR for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own!
Don’t Bite the Director by T. M. Kirk is a smart, sweet, and sexy rom-com about an indie film director, Cora, and a centuries-old vampire, Saiden. Tropes included: Forced proximity, fated mates, one bed, and touch her and die.
There were several points in the book where I closed the app and squealed in delight! This book is so cute! Cora Lee is directing a horror movie about killer vampires while her clock is ticking. No, I don’t mean babies; I mean she’s dying, and she wants to get her life’s work completed before she does.
The problem? She stumbled across several actual closely guarded vampire secrets. Saiden, the vampire enforcer, has come to tear up her script and erase her mind. When he meets her and finds out that he cannot erase her mind, he agrees to take her to his vamp compound to plead her case.
Don’t Bite the Director comes out on 4/1/2025. 5/5 Stars

Read this book if you loved Flithy Rich Vampires and My Roommate is a Vampire.
I've been looking forward to reading this book for a while and I wish I'd moved up my TBR. First we have Cora, a FMC that made me proud. Smart, determined, and willing to knee a vampire in the balls had me smiling and on her side from the start. Then there's
Saiden. Filthy Rich Vampire adjacent, and while I loved Julian, I gravitated to Saiden so much quicker. 300 years old and still kind of awkward around humans? Me if I was an immortal vampire.
Both characters are stubborn but never in an "oh my God give it a rest already" way. Each had motivations for their actions that made sense and gave them depth. Dialogue with each other, and the rest of the cast, that was fun and natural. So many of my highlights are just things I'd say in that situation. The rest of the cast was also great. The only thing I'm left wanting is more time with some of the other characters, and I'm hoping we get that with future books in the series.

March 26, 2025ARC Review-
“Don’t Bite the Director” shares a dual POV, that of Saiden Massaro, a vampire whose primary job is taking down rogue vampires and of Cora Lee, a movie director with a rare neurodegenerative disorder. When Cora runs into financial trouble making her movie, in walks a mysterious man during a casting call who may have the solution to all her problems. I love a good rom com and this one definitely hit the mark for me! It had me laughing out loud during certain parts yet swooning during others. It was funny in a genuine, down to earth, relatable way even with the paranormal vampire element. I was quite fond of main characters Cora and Saiden for various reasons. Not only did they had obvious chemistry that sparked off the pages, but they also had sassy yet endearing personality traits that I highly admired. This was a big win in my book and I will be recommending this one to anyone who loves paranormal romance and romantic comedies.

This book is a gem!! It has been many years since I read a romcom, so I wasn't sure if I'd be into it, but I really love T.M. Kirk's writing, so I wanted to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did!! Kirk is now an auto-buy author for me, no questions asked. If they write it I will read it! Don't Bite the Director was a fun, easy read that at times had me giggling out loud. The characters were lovable and well-written. Saiden's inner dialogue was hilarious, as he really had no idea what to do with his feelings about Cora. His found vampire family was adorable. I loved their contrasting personalities and the banter between them that let you know that they were really close. I really enjoy how Kirk's descriptive writing always allows me to build a movie of the scenes in my head! I was excited to learn that this is just book one of a series because I would love to read more about these characters!

Saiden a vampire and Prime enforcer of the East coast hunting down and dispatching rouge vampires, until he's sent to stop a movie from being made that gives away too much information on Vampires. Cora the screenwriter and director, trying to reach her dreams before her death.
The chemistry between Cora and Saiden is a highlight of the narrative, as their witty banter adds a light-hearted touch to the overarching tension.
Though the romance unfolds gradually, it captures the essence of a slow-burn relationship, making their connection both meaningful and memorable. The author’s unique take on vampires and the concept of fated mates adds an enriching layer to the story, it is an engaging read from start to finish.
Overall, this book is a delightful read that seamlessly blends humor with a thrilling plot, well-crafted characters, and an intriguing perspective on vampire mythology. It's definitely worth your time.

OMG I love this! And I’ll never look twice at the disco ball vampires again! Swooning for Saiden! And Cora is a fierce competitor to be a book girlfriend for me…. If Saiden would ever share?
Cora - her illness is killing her and she’s wanting to get this script done and filmed as the glorious story of a vampire it’s meant to be. Horror lover enthusiast and not too fond of surprises.
Saiden- 300 year old vampire and hunt’s rogue vampires as his line of work. Has given up on ever finding his mate and just wants to keep himself happy. Until a certain job comes along that is not up for debate!
So when a certain script comes under the attention of the Vampire court (so to speak) and suddenly Saiden has to either wipe her memory or kill her… but Cora has other plans! To talk to the Vampire court and plead her movie case!
Let me tell you- the banter is SUPREME and it’s so organic to read about a vampire that doesn’t fit in the normal standard nor is a disco ball LMAO

Don’t Bite the Director was a quirky, spicy, and beguiling read that had me guessing from the first page to the last.
I’ve never met a paranormal romance I didn’t love, and the author did a fantastic job of making a vampire world that was both familiar and slightly terrifying. Besides the simmering tension between Cora Lee and Saiden, there is a found family of vampires that has me not-so patiently waiting for more books in the series.
Cora Lee’s terminal illness is a key part of the story, but it is treated in a compassionate manner and tinged with the best kind of humor—dark! However, if that is an uncomfortable topic for readers (trust me, I get it) Don’t Bite the Director might not be the best choice for now.
The spice is great, but it can be skipped if necessary without losing any major parts of the story.

My first book by T.M. Kirk and I'm in love.
This PNR rom-com has been exactly what I needed to just laugh and swoon, and fine... cry a bit. A bit, tho' cuz I have a reputation to uphold.
Cora is a stubborn movie director, decided and determined for her vampire movie to see the light of the day. After all, it might be her last one.
When her script hits some home truths for the vampire cadre protecting the secrecy of their kind, Saiden is unleashed on the world. Cora's very very limited world.
The humor is first class. The chemistry between them sizzling.
A refreshing take on vampires. And I'm so incredibly eager for the rest of the series.
Cora is as sweet as she is stubborn. Saiden is as broody as they come.
And the secondary characters? I wanted them all to be my best friends. Maybe not Baylin. I'll take him as a mate. :D
