Wolves, bears, tigers, and dragons. Shifters come in so many shapes and sizes, but not all alphas are on dry land.Thane patrols the water off the coast of Australia, making sure a school of rebel sharks doesn’t attack human tourists. Selflessly putting himself in harm’s way means little time trying to find his one true mate. Penny has sworn off dating after meeting the wrong kind of shifter—the … wrong kind of shifter—the douchebag kind with a nasty temper. However, a chance encounter while on vacation in Australia finds her sitting by the pool next to Geraldine Wilder, supernatural matchmaking guru. In typical Gerri style, she’s having none of that “love isn’t for me” nonsense.
Now, with the Paranormal Dating Agency in her corner, will Penny finally have a chance at her happily ever after? Will she find what she’s been looking for in Thane, the flirtatious stranger she meets on a party cruise? Or will she find herself in deep, dangerous water?
This is a tiger shark shifter story. Be prepared to get wet.

A different kind of shifter story featuring sharks. It’s actually quite good. An interesting storyline with plenty of action, twists, and turns. Thane and Penny are a fantastic pairing. Their tale will take you for a ride. Overall I really enjoyed this one. A fantastic read.
Okay, first time reading this author… it’s not often I read a male romance authors books… damn, this might be my first brother why haven’t you written more books in this series?? Looking at the synopsis for book two there are still more people bruh!! I really loved the characters of this book! Holy smokes! So good! I could sit here and write a short paragraph on the likes of each person lol. They’re that good! He represented Gerri pretty good! I wonder who was the boy toy, normally Gerri doesn’t roll like that but hey, when in Rome? I really loved Penny’s personality and just simply her as a person. This story had a few emotional parts that really angered me (Poet). I was also kinda shocked at the gore and low key….nah, in your face cannibalism lol in the book. Looking up this author and the other books he writes I think his alter ego slipped in here a little bit and had some fun but damn…. sharks… what can you expect? Also, the funniest thing I’ve read in a while was them explaining about being a shark shifter and about whales being monsters lol. I couldn’t stop laughing. It was so funny. In a way I kind of don’t want to read book two because I know I will want more and I don’t think the author will write more so it’s kind of like a one and done with me. I might revisit it. But man, it was really good. 5 from me.
Very good book. I don’t know what took me so long to read it. It’s been on my kindle for well over a year. I’m not waiting that long to read the next.
Good strong characters. Even though the h was terminally ill that did not mean she would let you run over her.
The H was hot and sweet. A great combination in an Alpha.
Now I’m going to read book 2.
I was excited to pick up my first shifter book in a while and I remembered this Tiger Shark shifter book sitting on my TBR that was available through KU. I went through some of the reviews and was excited to see this one had a lot of rave reviews. Unfortunately, this one just didn’t work for me.
I enjoy the concept of paranormal dating agencies and I haven’t read a shifter book with sharks before today. The side characters were colorful and added to the story. This book had a lot of potential but unfortunately, it didn’t work for me.
Ultimately, it comes down to personal taste. My issues all basically boil down to one overarching complaint. It was unrealistic. I know that it’s hysterical to assume paranormal romance books should have a semblance of realism but I really was looking for authentic dialogue and actions. The crass sexual terms used in Penny’s inner monologue, in particular, didn’t strike me as realistic.
Even though I didn’t care for it, there are clearly lots of readers that loved it and you might too. I think I would have been upset if I had purchased it, but since I used my KU account I’ll just clock it as “meh” and move on.
This is my first book by this author and it did not disappoint. Ok, so when I heard this was about Tiger Shark shifters…yeah, made me a bit giddy…like school girl giddy. This was such a good and different storyline, which I appreciated. I was glued to it..still am, the 2nd book. .
Anyway, so Gerri from the Paranormal Dating Agency (whom I adore), sets up a meeting with Penny, who is looking for a shifter boyfriend and Thane who is head of the Tiger Sharks in this region. Thane knows pretty quickly that she’s his true mate. Their story is intertwined with the band of rogues shifters causing a shit ton of havoc. There is a lot going on in the Tiger Shark shifter world and Thane is trying to handle it, but the rogue band of shifters does not make it easy. They are ruthless in their pursuit to hurt humans, and Thane’s group is equally as ruthless in their pursuit to save the humans. Battle of ferocious strengths right here. Such a great and fast paced book.
This was a safe read, after they meet it’s all them. There are a few ow shenanigans, oh did I mention his mean ex is head of the rogues…yes, all charm that one *shakes head*. This book looks into Penny’s thoughts and Thane’s, so the only thing I wasn’t crazy about was that I got a little tmi on Thane’s exes, all I needed to know were that they were exes, I really did not need any more information than that. Sometimes tmi is exactly that, so less is more in some instances. Hot af, I mean anytime the words drill and pound are used…yeah, probably gonna be hot af…just sayin. Baby batter and an hfn. Great book and I couldn’t wait to read the second book…which I am reading now…so gotta go.
What a great way to be introduced to paranormal romance! Having never read anything of this genre I did not know what to expect so I decided to s story jump in with Oh Bite Me by Chris Genovese. The title alone was intriguing so i took a chance…so glad I did. Chris has quite the imagination his characters and storyline pulled me in from the very first page.
Oh Bite Me follows Penny and Thane as they try and find their ”one and only” Dating has proven to be quite the difficult for these two; so imagine when they finally meet sparks fly and their chemisty is undeniable; only problem Penny who is human and Thane is a shark shifter!
What a great book. This book is so much more than a romance; sure the chemistry between the two characters is explosive but there is enough going on that you won’t want to stop reading. The only complaint I have is that it ended!
Oh, Bite Me was my first read from Chris Genovese, but it will not be my last!
This story follows Penny, who is just looking for some fun… and maybe prince charming. And Thane, who, on the other hand has almost given up on finding his true mate. In walks Gerri Wilder. She sets these two up for a blind date and the sparks immediately fly and Thane (being paranormal) knows without a doubt that Penny is his mate. But, not everyone wants to see them together, and as a couple they must overcome a few obstacles.
If you enjoy shifter or paranormal romance I highly highly recommend Oh, Bite Me!! Their story is full of angst, fantasy, and quite a bit of steam. Who doesn’t love that???
Once again Chris Genovese has left me speechless. Like seriously I couldn’t get enough of this book. From page one I was drawn into the story and couldn’t put it down.
Protective…
Fierce…
Loving…
Sexy…
Addictive…
Who would have thought I would be a lover of a Shark Shifter Paranormal Book? Definitely not me. Chris has once again had me step outside of my reading comfort genres and jump into the world of Shifter Paranormal and damn if I didn’t love every second, minute, hour of reading Oh Bite Me.
Penny had my heart from the beginning and just damn had not so much good luck in the dating department until Thane came into her life. (The rollerskating rink part had me laughing- I just couldn’t).
Thane, the protective Alpha Male of the group. You just couldn’t help but fall in love with him and yes it shocked me too because he is technically shark and who the h@ll knew sharks could be so sexy. Thane is also looking for “HIS ONE AND ONLY” and doesn’t want to settle until he finds her.
With a little help from a matchmaker Thane and Penny meet and from there go for a ride of there lives protecting themselves and others from a rebel school of sharks. Who will come out on top? Will Thane and his school of sharks be able to protect everyone including Penny.
In my opinion the book ended way too quick. Before I knew it I was reading “To be continued” and cursing Chris out in my head with leaving me wanting more (Chris it was all said with love ). Thane and Penny were scorching hot and I can’t wait to see more of them and their friends. (Side note: the book should totally come with a warning that parts of the book are too hot to handle and will leave you all hot and bothered. The sex scenes are off the charts – just saying.)
Chris, Oh Bite Me has taken you to a whole new level of awesomeness in my mind. You captured my attention with your romance/erotica books. Then sucked me in further with your two books in The Collective and seriously don’t get me started on your horror stories. I am addicted to your books and writing and love that you can write in so many genre’s. I would seriously love to live in your brain for one day.
P.S. Thane can take a bite out of me anytime! I am sure Penny won’t mind sharing him .
