The Vampire and the Man-Eater
Stock broker Brock Hart's idea of fun was playing at the local gay nightclub every weekend with someone new. He imagined the Rules of Relationships didn't apply to him, and his best friend thought his nonchalant attitude towards sex was crazy. Until one night his playboy image was put to the test. Spying Brock in a crowded club, Vampire Daniel Wolf sets his sights on the handsome 'man-eater' businessman. Sparks literally fly, between the two, and with one bite from the sexy vamp Brock is hooked. Never did Brock ever imagine falling for anyone, especially not a man from Sixteenth Century England! The only problem is, he's a vampire. Can love conquer all? It will be a challenge, but one Brock is up for, in so many ways.

Lovely story! :)
At first it was a little hard for me to like Daniel, he'd had too little personality and too much superiority, but I absolutely loved seeing the little flashes of humanity and vulnerability and the full-on dread of being human again at the end. Really good writing here! And I didn't think I'd like Brock that much, judging by his previous mentions in the other books. But I loved him and how he cares for Eli and his love for fun - I don't think it's necessary a bad thing, since he's single and doesn't cheat on anyone - and his sudden and powerful love for Daniel. Complicated and still very sympathetic character.
I have to say I don't read vampire books much, so I'm not familiar with what's considering norms and standards here, but I loved how unpredictable (for me) the ending was. While reading I dreaded Daniel'd turn Brock and I'd hoped against hope that still wouldn't happen. So I was so happy things'd turned the other way around! I think that was unorthodox and really cool. Seeing Brock and Daniel changing places in almost all areas was really fun.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

The Vampire and the Man-eater presents a very different and unique take on the vampire genre. Most of it works, quite well, and some of it...not so much. The characters are likable and don't vary too far from their core identities, keeping true to their personalities. What didn't work for me was the Aside from all of that, I really enjoyed this book and it's distinct approach to vampires.
I give The Vampire and the Man-eater four stars.

This was SO hooky it was funny. When the Brock and Daniel have sex/make love, those scenes just crack me up. I've read it at least twice. It's is kinda cute.

The story was a somewhat unique take on the whole 'vampire finds love then gets his soul back'. I liked it.

I looked forward to read this book, since it was recommended to me.
At first, I really like GA Hauser’s work. She always entertains me on a high level.
About this book… well… I’m not sure.
The story had such a great potential, that hasn’t been revealed. The book contains a lot of sex. I don’t have anything against sex, on the contrary I love it and each page I can read about. But this one has 85 % sex and just 15 % real plot. That’s not an adequate proportion
Brock, the man eater, at begin I didn’t liked him. He was such an arrogant jerk. During the minimal plot he made a bit of development, so he gets a little bit more likable at the end.
Daniel, on one side an unusual vampire, on the other side a vampire with all the abilities and clichés, you will find in several thousand books.
It was great how the author put the characters together. But as I said, there was so much potential, it’s really sad, that she doesn’t make more out of it. The solution she designed for them both was quite exceptional, but it was told on one page.
It could have been a great book, but the characters stay shallow, the plot isn’t elaborated and thought through. I don’t understand why the author put the plot behind the sex scenes.
But nonetheless it’s a good erotic novella. For readers who set a high value on sex scenes without a great story in the front, it will be a very good read.
Therefore GA Hauser has a good writing style; I give her 2.5 (3) stars for it.
