Vampires Gone Wild is an anthology made up of 4 vampire romances written by different authors.  Generally it was an ok collection, I enjoyed every story but there was only one that I truly loved and that was First Dates are Hell by Amanda Arista.

Vampires Gone Wild by Kerrelyn Sparks:
This novella was alright; to be honest I think you need to have read more books from the Love at Stake series to truly get this one.  It was written well but I couldn’t get into it.  I felt like the characters had a back history that I should have known about but didn’t. 

A Forever Love by Pamela Palmer
I thought the idea behind this one was a really good one.  The plot was interesting and felt fresh, I really liked the characters, they were easy to like and the romance was believable.  What irritated me was the terms of endearments that were frequently used.  If I heard ‘my warrior’ or ‘Lizzy mine’ ago I would have screamed.

First Dates are Hell by Amanda Arista
This was by far the best story of the lot, it really impressed me.  There was nothing I disliked about it, the storyline was great, the characters loveable and the romance adorable.  It was really, really cute and it completely charmed me.  I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Blood and Water by Kim Falconer
This was my least favourite of the bunch.  I found it bizarre and half the time I didn’t know what was going on.  It failed to grab my interest and I skimmed quite a lot of it.

Vampires Gone Wild is an ok anthology but I was expecting more.
