About this listen
Courtney Banks owns a failing book store, and her relationship with her girlfriend Mia is falling apart. Courtney doesn't even think she believes in love...that is, until she meets the vampire next door.
Valeria "Lare" Máille is a gorgeous scientist working on cutting-edge genetics. She also just happens to be a vampire, and Courtney's new neighbor. Sparks fly from the very first moment Courtney and Lare meet, and their attraction is undeniable. But in a world where vampires have just "come out" of hiding, tensions between humans and vampires are running high. When Lare's co-workers begin to go missing, it looks like foul play may put Lare in danger, too.
Will Courtney and Lare have a chance at love, or is the cost of falling for a vampire too high?
The Vampire Next Door is a light-hearted paranormal romance that will take you on a journey you'll never forget.
Written by wife-and-wife authors Natalie Vivien (known for her laugh-out-loud contemporary romances) and Bridget Essex (known for her vampires and werewolves in love), The Vampire Next Door is a marriage of humor, steamy romance, and a love story that's out of this world.

My name is Sebastian Lindstrom, and I'm the villain of this story. I've decided to lay myself bare. To tell the truth for once in my hollow life, no matter how dark it gets. And I can assure you, it will get so dark that you'll find yourself feeling around the blackened corners of my mind, seeking a door handle that isn't there. Don't mistake this for a confession. I neither seek forgiveness nor would I accept it. My sins are my own. They keep me company. Instead, this is the true tale of how I found her, how I stole her, and how I lost her.

He kissed me because he thought we’d never see each other again. We would. Everyone warned me about him. They told me he was ruthless and cold and screwed up. They said he’d leave me with a hole in my heart. Maybe I should have listened. Maybe I should have built up a fortress to keep him out. But I crumbled instead.

Story
Forty-five, recently divorced and a certified hot mess. The last thing Fiona needs to start her vacation is a flooded hotel room and a broken-down car. Alas, that’s what she gets. She’s ready to pack it all in and go home - wherever that is - when her knight in a wet T-shirt strides in to save the day. Jaw-dropping, panty-melting Grant Greene takes the 'mess' out of 'certified hot mess' when he walks up to Fiona and offers her a room to stay. No strings attached. Great, right?

Story
From New York Times best-selling author Kim Karr comes a flirty new love story. The whole stethoscope-and-white coat thing isn't my cup of tea. I prefer a man with an artistic vein in his body and 9-to-5 hours. And I can definitely do without the half-lidded, sleepy bedroom eyes. (Okay, so those are kind of sexy.) Tall, dark, and handsome doesn't change the fact that he's arrogant, cocky, and rude. Not that I care, but he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with a quirky girl like me, which is why he said no. Turns out no isn't an option.

Nice love story, with a twist
First time in my life that I listen to an anglophone reader doing a VERY NICE French accent. I am French. Some mistakes and the usual problem with the rendition of the French sound R but the reader does a great job: no caricature, right "foreign intonations".
Nice story about tolerance and falling in love.
Not too many "hot scenes" (I do not like them, I think being too literal makes things ridiculous), which is a plus. But a very fine way of describing a blooming love.
The "suspense" side" of the story is not bad. I like how the vampire theme stands for tolerance, but not in an over-simplistic way.
All in all, I obviously like this novel.

Maria Marquis! Vampire Romance! Yes Please!!!
5/5 stars This is one of the best Natalie Vivian/Bridget Essax novels and the narration by Maria Marquis omg her performance of Valeria is so good so sensual that it will melt you in all the right places. This audiobook is on par with Bridget Essex "Meeting Eternity Sullivan Vampires Volume 1 books 1-3" which is narrated by Lynn Devereux another Mistress of Sensuality.

Cute romantic fairy tale, if a tad simplistic
Good: Believable protagonist with a love interest that anyone who's been in the initial throes of falling in live will appreciate; bonus points for the lesbian romance being different from the eleventy-bajillion cookie cutter "hot guy supernatural" romances.
Bad: Takes a while for the actual plot to get going, and once it does the story is somewhat one dimensional and way too short. it's as though most of the creative energy was expended on the character introductions and world building and once that was done the actual plot got rushed to meet a deadline.
Ugly: The whole thing is told in present-tense. I'd normally avoid such a writing sin like the plague, but the grating nature of the narrative eventually fades into the background to be a minor annoyance.
Overall good, but not great. Don't go into this expecting Half Moon Hollow or Parasol Protectorate.

First time with an audio book.
Wow! This was a great romance. Nice twist on the reality of vampires. Loved it. I look forward to reading more from these authors.
The narrator, Marina Barrett was incredible. She enhanced the visual effects of each scene. Great voice, great French accent and great at defining each character.

Wow!
Loved it! My only complaint is that it was too-too short! Great story, great chemistry between Courtney and Lare. Marina Barrett, the narrator, did an excellent job - the French accent, wow! :D

Lovely. Excellent voice acting.
I loved it. It has a sense of playfulness to it I wasn't expecting. I recommend it to anyone who is a vampire romance novel enthusiast.
