The Bite of Winter has sat on my ipad for a while the hopes that there would be another addition to this series as it was indicated it was the first in a series . As Smith is wonderful story teller and I have enjoyed what she has written so far.

Perfect a cold winter night, Smith’s PNR offering is a delight for a number of reasons. Set over the Christmas period giving some festive cheer as we watch the story of Zoe, Ian and Connor unfold in this novella.

Zoe Blake hasn’t had the best luck recently, with her parents dying and left to fend for herself . She finds herself on the street, trying to survive another day. Until another homeless person attacks her thinking that she carrying something valuable in her bag. However at her very lowest point , she is rescued by Ian a vampire who saves her just at the right moment. Ian has a thing for strays and can’t help feel a connection to the woman. However there is a big problem in the form of his partner Connor who he promised no more mortal lovers after the death of their last one .

With Christmas fast approaching, Smith decides to work some Christmas magic in this tale by giving three lonely people what they need during the holidays . A family of their own as each has what the other wants. With Zoe needing some loving attention and some help who no better then these two older and wiser men . As these two vampires who have closed of their hearts need some a woman like Zoe to show them a bite of winter is never enough .

It’s a fun book and I loved the concept of this novel. It had substance which makes it a cut above some of the other ménages I have read in the past. You won’t disappointed if you are looking for some spicy these holidays.
