This was the fake dating trope done right. The relationship was not rushed and the miscommunication that led to her not knowing he was a vampire was believable and could easily happen in real life (if there really were vampires of course)
I loved the humour and light heartedness of Reggie’s character and the character development from being a selfish jokester to someone who wants to care for someone else.
The sub plot’s climax and ending was more thought out and exciting than the first book as well which kept you reading.
Would have been a cute Rom Com without the added aspect of vampires but the addition of vampires makes it all the better.

This fun paranormal romance has some of my favorite tropes, like fake dating and only one bed. Amelia is a successful, and single, accountant. When a family wedding invitation arrives, she figures showing up with a date will quiet her family about her single state.
Amelia ran into Reginald on the street and sees him at a coffee shop. When she asks him to be her fake date, he enthusiastically agrees.

What Amelia doesn’t know is that Reginald is a vampire, being pursued by vampires who believe he killed their ancestors.
Reginald tries to tell her what he is, but she thinks he’s kidding, and as they spend time together they fall for each other. Can a mortal human have a successful relationship with an immortal vampire?

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley, I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

2.5 stars. I thought My Roommate is a Vampire was super fun and this one was enjoyable too. They’re goofy and wacky and make me laugh. I didn’t love this one as much though. I wasn’t a huge fan of the whole Collective storyline and I was actually way more interested in Frederick’ and Cassie’s storyline than anything with Reggie and Amelia. It also felt like the end didn’t wrap up as nearly as I wanted.

i only picked this book up because i loved the first one but i should’ve at least read the description because then i would’ve known it was fake dating. i’m just not into fake dating books right now, i feel like it’s overdone and i should’ve known it was going to be fake dating because romance books always have to feature that trope in their series but also… the title. also there was no need for it to be 400 pages like cmon

Look I’ll be honest. I feel for Reginald and his antics in the first book. He had me loling and I was so excited for him to get his own love story. Pairing him up with cut throat bad Amelia was *chefs kiss* perfection. Add in the fake dating trope and some family antics and ugh I can’t say enough. This was just such a fun light hearted read that will have you loling.

I'm a HUGE fan of My Roommate Is A Vampire, so to say I was excited to read this is an understatement!

While the first book is still my favorite, I absolutely adored this one. It was laugh out loud funny and I just loved the two main characters. The fake dating trope was done very well and I just really appreciate how the author incorporates vampires being silly and cute vs dark and scary. The romance was a bit slow compared to the first book and I felt like this one didn't have as much of connection between the characters, but once the spicy scenes hit it was fun and wild!!

If the author continues making more vampire books like this one, sign me up!!

Like a big warm hug full of hilarious humor and steam. Completely loved Reginald getting his chance for love. (This book could be a stand alone, but I suggest you to read the first book before this one!)

This book was so much fun in the first half. Then I think I got a little disappointed when the whole concept of the vampire being the plus one at the wedding took a backseat to what I thought was a secondary plot line.

I found myself looking forward to them going to a wedding and then that didn’t happen until the epilogue.

Overall, it was fun, easy and cute. If only mildly disappointing there was not more wedding shenanigans and fake dating.

I received and eARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. Thank you for the chance to read and review this book.

MY VAMPIRE PLUS ONE, is just as hilarious as her first - these books are such a refreshing delight, I adore reading them!!! A huge thanks to @berkleyromance for my e-ARC via @netgalley - I’m honored to have the privilege to enjoy this one before its September publication. It’ll be the perfect fall “spooky” read - be sure to add it to your TBR! 🧛🏻‍♀️🩸

That was fun!! A little silly but undeniably fun, tbh I expected more but I had a good time while reading. In this book we follow Amelia and Reginald (this name…… seriously?) after they meet by accident and she takes advantage of the one-hundred-percent-strange encounter to ask him for a favor (hello fake dating). For me, the first flaw starts right there, their relationship was very insta-lust and throughout the entire book I felt a lack of connection between them, only in the last (and when I say last I mean literally the last 10% of the book) chapters do they seem to have developed something deeper. For me the timeline didn't make much sense either, after six (I repeat, six!!!) weeks that she DISCOVERED that vampires exist she was already completely in love with one and thinking about becoming a vampire to be immortal (for him) 😭 Anyway, I tried not to take the book too seriously bc right at the beginning I realized that the idea was to be something quick, funny and light to read and in the end it served its purpose well. Would I recommend it? totally, despite the things I mentioned it was still worth reading.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for an advanced eARC of this book for a fair and honest review!

“Could she tell just by looking at me how badly I wanted to bury my face in her hair? To bury my teeth in her neck, too– if she would allow it?”

I want to start this review off by saying this was leagues more entertaining than My Roommate’s a Vampire. I enjoyed that, but I feel like Levine really just nailed the balance of plot, romance, and vampire goodness in this one. Reggie was my favorite back in Roommate, and he is absolutely ADORABLE in My Vampire Plus-One.

I thought Amelia was a bit bland– not to compare FMCs, but Cassie had more personality than Amelia (though I did like her superpower being tax law, that was kinda fun). I do feel like it was needed to balance with Reggie’s chaos.

Unlike the first book, this wasn’t dull at all and had me laughing out loud a good number of times. The spice was spicing for sure, too (Reggie has a filthy mouth underneath Old Fuzzy). The romance felt developed, and while I wasn’t a huge fan of the overhaul of tropes in the Wisconsin scenes, I do feel like Levine made it unique enough to make it work.

One final note that may be a spoiler- I am SO disappointed we didn’t get Frederick turning Cassie in the last book or a sort of novella. I feel like this was a huge moment for that couple that just happened in passing during this book’s events, which sucks (no pun intended) because I truly enjoy Levine’s vampire lore compared to some other vampire-themed romcoms out there.

All in all, a fun and cute romance I devoured in a few days. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for eye-rollingly bad humor and sweet bloodsuckers.

Amelia is single and sick of the pressure from her family to be in a relationship. She says she has a boyfriend at family function and now has to find someone to bring to family wedding in a few days. She picks Reginald as her fake boyfriend. He seems intrigued by the idea and really works on being the perfect boyfriend. Reginald is used to standing out in a crowd so him trying to conform to normal dress and conversation is hilarious. He tells her he is a vampire fugitive but it takes her awhile to understand he wasn’t kidding.

She is shocked to learn that vampires have been living among humans and she never realized. She realizes she just might be able to use her skills to get the collective to stop harassing Reginald.

Reginald is so caring and doting on her that he forces her to take breaks and unwind. This book was funny and sweet both at the same time. I liked how it had Frederick and Cassie from book one in this as is set up for a third.

Another absolutely stellar vampire story from Jenna Levine! Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for an advanced copy of the ebook as it was delightful!

Right from the jump I LOVED Amelia. I saw a lot of myself in her which made the story all the more enjoyable. And Reggie?? REGGIE?! What an incredible character. There was nothing I didn’t like about him. 🥰 Them together was perfect and I loved having them as the main characters in this story, which was frankly so fun!

Much like My Roommate is a Vampire, this felt like a silly and raunchy D-COM original and I truly hope Jenna intends on writing more books in this universe because I will eat every single one up.

My Vampire Plus One drops Sept. 17 so get it on your TBRs!

this book was insanely fun to read! i loved the fake dating, spice, and laugh out loud moments so much. it’s the perfect palette cleanser and will pull you out of a reading slump with no problem.

now, let’s talk about reggie and amelia. i LOVE them. reggie is sweet, goofy, quirky, and insanely sexy. i loved how he would do ANYTHING for amelia. amelia is the total opposite of reggie, but i love that about her and think that’s why they worked together so well. i also loved seeing little updates of frederick and cassie from the first book!

this was such a fresh and light read. thank you so much to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for the arc copy!

I absolutely loved this book! It

This book follows Amelia and Reggie who you first meet in Jenna’s previous book (my roommate is a vampire).
Reggie is such a goofy character that had me giggling the whole time. I love how no one takes him seriously because that’s the mask he wears but when he’s being serious you don’t know if he is. Amelia is such a serious character and takes everything at face value that makes their dynamic perfect. Also the way Reggie would do anything for Amelia from the beginning had me kicking my feet.

I love how Freddie and Cassie were also part of the story and shows a continuation of their love story.


Tropes: one bed, fake dating, age gap, serious x goofball

Thank you to NetGalley, Jenna Levine and Berkley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. This review is wholly my own & may not be reproduced.

I ADORED My Roommate is a Vampire from last year, so I was thrilled to get an early read of My Vampire Plus-One.

Jenna did not disappoint. Fake Dating is one of my favorite tropes. I know how they’re going to end, but I still love them. This book was charming, fun, cute & had several LOL moments. What more could a reader want from a rom-com?

This is Reginald’s story, who we met in My Roommate is a Vampire. I LOVE that we got his story. He’s a riot! While the story did mainly focus on Reginald & Amelia, we also got updated on the development of Frederick & Cassie’s relationship, which I was really hoping for!

Overall, this was a light & easy read that was extremely enjoyable. Jenna has given us a fabulous duo in this supernatural world & I hope we get more in the future!

This is the follow up novel to My Roommate is a Vampire which was released last year. It can be read as a standalone as the characters are different with minimal overlap. Anytime I go into the next book of the series, I always have the first book to hold it up against as a judge. Will it be better? Will it be worse? In this case, I found myself not quite enjoying it as much as I did the first. I really didn’t enjoy our vampire character, Reggie, quite like I did the vampire of the first book. He was delightfully quirky, a little off, and that was fun, but just something about him wasn’t working for me. I waited a few days to try to sort it out but still can’t put my finger on it precisely. I also got a little annoyed that Amelia felt the need to remind us repeatedly that she was an accountant. Maybe the fact that I have an accounting degree just really turned me off to this, but I found it insufferable. However, I really enjoyed how the characters worked together. The communication between them was just top notch and truly to be applauded. The side characters were also loads of fun and added to this books charm.

I would recommend this to folks looking for a closed door, light vampire romance.

3.5 stars rounded to 4

First off, thank you to @netgalley and @berkleypub for giving me my very first ARC!! 🥹

I just knewwww I would love this one after giving ‘My Roommate Is A Vampire’ by @jennalevinewrites 5 stars. Reginald freakin’ Cleaves did NOT disappoint! 👏🏻 What a cinnamon roll softie. Blonde MMC’s get a bad rap, but he’s one of the good ones and you can never go wrong with fake dating, I mean come on 😌

This book universe is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I may be biased because it’s set in Chicago and Naperville is my hometown, but I’m obsessed with the comedic love/hate banter, the spice, the Taylor Swift references, the Twilight references (Reggie thinking Edward Cullen is a badass is so funny to me) and the overall theme of strong, independent women who are the ones that save the men instead of the other way around. We need more of that in the romance genre!

I’m also such a sucker for mixed media in books, and this series has some of the most entertaining entries. Specifically Reggie’s bullet journaling! Doodling about Amelia and buying stickers and ribbons, just UGH I love him.

On another note, please tell me there will be a Zelda book next?!!!! Vegan-yoga instructor- witch?! Yes please!!

✨Quotes that made me giddy✨
“I would brave a blizzard just to see you smile.” SO SOFT
“I don’t know what I did to deserve you. I don’t know if I do deserve you.” Oh my GOD

Can’t wait to own a physical copy on September 17th 🤗

3.5/5 (rounded up to a 4) - I laughed quite a bit while reading this, and I love the sweetness of the ending. These were easy characters to get along with while on a long road trip!!

I didn’t think it was possible to like book 2 more than the 1st but I did!!
Think normal goofy rom com shenanigans- overbearing family, meet cute, fake dating, and a centuries old vampire vigilante club tracking down and trying to kill your date…. Totally normal, right?
This book took parts of a rom com and merged them with the paranormal in the cutest way!

Oh and Reggie is HOT. And he wears skirts.
