Product Description:
There's a new breed of soccer mom in town-with fangs.
Does drinking blood make me a bad mother? That's the question single mom Jessica Matthews faces when she wakes from a savage attack sucking on the thigh of Patrick O'Halloran, a super-hot Irish vampire who'd generously offered his femoral artery to save her from death...only to make her one of the undead.
Jessica can't rest until the beast that did this to her is caught. Meanwhile, she's having trouble committing to Patrick (in the vampire handbook, physical intimacy costs you several hundred years of being bound together) and keeping her kids in line.

Yeah--that's pretty much what this series is about and it is hillarious! I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but everyone in my Paranormal group who ever read these stories has always come back with such great reviews. Michele Bardley takes some of the best of Karen Marie Moning--namely the Fae, the celtic legends, mixes them up with 3000 year old Irish Vampire hunks--and joins them with midwestern woman who have had there hearts broken, their lives turned upside down--and now if all that isn't bad enough--find themselves bitten and reduced, or seduced into being Vampires? Who will take care of their children? Who will protect their children from the Vampires? Oh, wait--Mom is a Vampire!!! Who will protect them from her!!!
LOL! The comedy in this reminds me of some of Sheriilyn Kenyon's snicker a minute dialog--and I really must admit that readying about sexy Irish Vampires who are part Fae, part witch--and 100% sexy isn't a half bad way to pass the time!

My friend Steve Stiles told me about these books, he said you must read them as they are very funny. I enjoyed every word in this book and couldn't wait to get into the subsequent one. If you enjoy books about Vampires then please get this series and prepare to laugh out loud. Get all 3 in the series as you will enjoy everyone of them as much as the last one you read.

COURTESY OF CK2S KWIPS AND KRITIQUES
One moment, Jessica Matthews, divorced mother of 2 is dragging the trash cans to the curb and the subsequent she's sucking on the fabulously muscled thigh of a gorgeous 4000 year old vampire. I guess if you're going to wake up as one of the undead, that's not a bad way to go about it.
Jessica is determined to find out what happened to her, and a lot of other citizens of Broken Heart, Oklahoma. That part is easy compared to her other task of protecting her heart and hormones from the hot Irish vampire, with the tasty femoral artery, who saved her life and her kids and then adjusting to her new all blood diet. How does one go about parenting when the sunlight causes 4th degree burns after 3 seconds?
With the very first in a fang-tastic series based in Broken Heart, Oklahoma, Michele Bardsley has this reviewer dying for more! Get it? Dying? Yeah, I'll leave the humour to the author. Good idea.
The world created by Michele Bardsley is unique, and that's saying something in the uber popular genre of paranormal romance. Her's is a world of soccer moms with fangs raising their human children in a new dangerous environment, and dosing the story with a healthy serving of sassy witticism is just part of what makes this a winner. Throw in a paranormal consortium, Celtic legends, richly animated characters in a quirky little town and bad guys (errr, vampire Wraiths) to fight, and all that's left is the sexy Irish vampire. I'M THE VAMPIRE THAT'S WHY delivers.
Jessica's character is admirable and very relatable as she struggles between her intense passion for Patrick O'Halloran and her very first priority as a committed mother. Patrick has his share of attributes to enjoy by way of sizzling sex appeal that was heightened by his desire to do whatever was best for Jessica and her children no matter what the cost. The author has created a town of colorful characters providing a lot of room for future exploits. Thank goodness, because I am hooked.
The way the author weaves Jessica's ancestry with Patrick's is sensational. The obvious research that went into the Celtic legends adds depth and a unique foundation to the genesis of the vampires in this series.
This author is going on my "must buy" list.

What kind of book do you get when you mix the chick-lit sass of a soccer mom with the urban fantasy cool of a vampire clan? A really clever book, that's what.
Jessica Matthews is like any other homemaking mom when she and ten of her fellow residents of Broken Heart, Oklahoma wake up dead. Or rather-- undead. Whoops. Jess and her friends have been accidentally noshed on by a vampire being treated for an illness spreading amongst vampire kind known as the Taint. Lucky for the PTA they couldn't catch the disease as humans and a group of parakind known as the Consortium has brought them all back to life (or unlife) as vamps. How can the PTA raise kids when they drop dead asleep every morning and don't rise until dark? And what does this mean for their sex lives?
In Jessica's case this means she has to choose between her kids and the hot Irish stud who sired her. Or does it? You're just gonna have to read the book to find out.
Although lacking in the darker undertones of a good urban fantasy, I'm the Vampire, That's Why is a sexy and witty novel filled with all the elements of good fluffy fiction. If you prefer your paranormal romances to be darker, angstier and more serious you might not enjoy this book. But if you like to mix it up now and again with a light-hearted and more comedic story this is a standout for the genre. I didn't fall in love with our hero and heroine so much as the outside players from the German werewolf guardians and the dreamy actor Johnny Angelo (you'll love the James Dean clone) to Jessica's typical kids and her small town friends.
This is a paranormal with real heart and while lighter, fluffier reading than the heavy-weights of the genre this series is going onto my favorites shelf.

Don't let the cute little cover fool you, this book contains some explicit sexual content. While Jessica Mathews is minding her own business and taking out the trash she is blindsided by something big and hairy only to wake up realizing she is sucking blood out of a very gorgeous man. But funny, that isn't her only problem. Add in 11 of her friends also being turned, the woman who stole her husband constantly showing up and just the whole thing of being a Vampire mom. What's a woman to do, well, make a list and get busy kicking some [...]. The graphic descriptions did catch me by surprise, but that was ok when balanced with the very funny writing and the whole list of interesting supporting characters that could easily have their own books.
