📖 I received a gifted e-book ARC. The following is my honest review✍🏻
Falling for a Villainous Vampire is a single POV enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance. Marley is a witch who has been hunted across multiple lives by the vampire Halsten. Each time her soul is reborn, once she grows into her power, he’s suddenly there and she dies in violent, unexpected ways (was crushed to death by a filing cabinet really necessary?!). This time, though, she has friends in local witches Cassie and Nancy, and they help Marley cast a spell to make her enemy forget all about her. Unfortunately, it works TOO well and he forgets all about EVERYTHING. Now Marley has an amnesiac vampire on her hands, one who declares utter devotion to her, and she can’t help but be charmed by his wonder with the world while she tries to figure out how to fix her mistake without setting him on a course to kill her again!
I loved this one, a love the blend of humor, spice, and paranormal mystery. I still need to read the first in this series but enjoyed the glimpses of Jack and Nancy from book two. I loved Marley’s banter with “Evil Halsten” and her sweet but bewildered interactions with “Good Halsten” as he tries to adjust. I absolutely loved Halsten’s rants about Ross (the most evil of the Friends) and Xander (who brought misery on himself and others by inventing an imagined Zone of Friends to complain about) as he used TV as a way to learn about the world! 😹 Marley and Halsten together were absolutely perfect, adorable interactions and fantastic chemistry!

Marley Maples is sure she's finally evaded her vampire mortal enemy. Halsten has stalked her across oceans of time, and many, many lives. But now she's arrived at the age of thirty in Hollow Brook, with no sign of him. So she’s devastated when he suddenly shows and yet again tries to make her life hell. Until her two witchy best friends suggest a spell to make him forget all about her.
There’s just one he forgets his whole existence with it. All Halsten now remembers is being a big, hot, vampire Viking. And all he sees when he looks at Marley is his beloved little witch, his saviour, the light of his life. He goes from being a horror that haunts her nightmares, to a man who loves her and will protect her at all costs. And as much as she’s skeptical, she can’t help finding his fish-out-of-water, warrior ways and his desire to defend her endearing.
Maybe even a little sexy. In fact, it’s starting feel very sexy indeed.
And if she’s not careful, she’s going to lose herself to a man she swore to hate. A man who might return to her eternal enemy, at any moment…
