Review of Bite at First Sight by Brooklyn Ann

It's the early 1800s and widowed Cassandra Burton wants to be a doctor. She's been studying, experimenting and researching for years, regardless of the fact that she's a female so nobody in the medical field will take her seriously. One night, while in a graveyard digging up a body for more research, she gets stopped by Rafael Villar, a mysterious man she's taken notice of whenever she sees him. Now that he's decided she's his prisoner, she's able to take a much bigger notice. All for the sake of research...
There aren't a whole lot of books that have my 2 favorite genres together and when they are, they aren't always successful. When I saw this book, I was interested in giving it a try. Overall it didn't disappoint.
It was a very good plot overall. I liked that author gave the characters time to develop their feelings for each other and the plot was full and wasn't hinging on misunderstandings.
Cassandra was definitely smart and determined to do what her mind called for her to do, regardless of it not being acceptable in society. She's very much clinical-minded and not in tune with any emotions. Rafael is pretty much a typical vampire leader in his characteristics, but his preexisting infatuation with Cassandra and his self-loathing for his disfigurement give him a vulnerability not usually seen.
There were a few things that I didn't care for in the book, like the fact that these vampires seem to more vulnerabilities than in other books of this genre. Overall good read. I recommend this for any fans of these two genres.
