Stars and Chili Peppers are hard for me because they're so relative to the reader, rather than being a true measure of the book itself. When I enjoy a book and it makes me want to read more of the author's books, I'm giving it five stars. There are definitely explicit sex scenes but they felt...rushed(?) to me. 


Normally, my vibe is a lot darker than this kind of book but I applied to review an ARC because (1) I want to read more from authors of color and (2) I needed something light and sexy as a palate cleanser. 

This book follows Whitney, an art broker who, as the title promises, accidentally hooked up with a vampire. The story line takes a turn that makes the plot more complex than I was expecting from a book that doesn't take itself too seriously. 

Things I Loved:

- the representation of less than perfect bodies, including the main characters. 
- the explanation for why the main characters catch feelings so fast
- the surprising plot line
- the realness/authenticity of the characters. The FMC reacts like a person really would rather than with unquestioning acceptance. 

10/10 would recommend as a fun (and funny) and sexy read that features some supernatural elements.
