Finding the Perfect Mate just got way more complicated. When Perry pledges abstinence until he meets a Perfect Mate—a rare mortal perfect for a vampire—he doesn’t expect to be tested. Especially by another vampire. But Mandy smells like heaven. Has a sexy British accent. And is the smartest person he’s met. She’s just so … perfect. If he holds on to his fantasy, will he lose his chance at love?
Finding the perfect vampire was never on her radar. Mandy hasn’t seen her father in 500 years but when he goes missing she drops everything and heads for the States, only to discover the Russian vampires kidnapped him. She insists on being involved in his rescue and suggests she and Perry—who’s sexy as sin and makes her laugh—infiltrate as lovers. As they pretend, she realizes he’s just so … perfect. But she’s got a secret that will mean her death. Can she trust him not to turn her over to the authorities or does she keep mum and let him go?

This was the 1st book of the Bitten by Love series that I read. It CAN be read alone.
I loved the romance between these two characters. Perry is the ever-comedic, seldom taken seriously man, and Mandy has a British accent, very capable, but she also has a sense of humor to rival his. Neither are looking for a vampire mate, they're just trying to rescue her estranged (500 years worth! Hold a grudge much?) father who's been kidnapped and taken to Russia. The adventure begins!
There is action/adventure/comedy and of course, ROMANCE in this book.
Perry has long been one of my favorite characters in this series, so I was thrilled to see he finally got his own love story. He's funny and lighthearted and it was good to see him find his perfect mate, even if she wasn't his Perfect Mate. (You'll have to read the book to see what I mean.)
Also loved the secondary story of Barnet and his daughter resolving their issues and becoming a family again.
