Book Description
Not just anyone can visit Broken Heart, Oklahoma, especially since all the single moms—like me, Patsy Donahue—have been turned into vampires. I’m forever forty, but looking younger than my years, thanks to my new (un)lifestyle.
And even thought most of my customers have skipped town, I still manage to keep my hair salon up and running because of the lycanthropes prowling around. They know how important good grooming is—especially a certain rogue shape-shifter who is as sexy as he is deadly. Now, if only I could put a leash on my wild teenage son. He’s up to his neck in danger. The stress would kill me if I wasn’t already dead. But my maternal instincts are sill alive and kicking, so no one better mess with my flesh and blood.
About the Author
Michele Bardsley lives with her husband, their two children, and Her Highnesses Isis and Cleopatra, two of the most spoiled Bengal cats on the planet.

Your Vampire Says Read This Book,
By
This review is from: Because Your Vampire Said So (Mass Market Paperback)
Patsy Donahue is one of the Broken Heart Eleven - single parents from the same town all recently turned into vampires. Now, not only does she have to worry about her rebellious teenage son and her struggling hair salon business, but she also has to worry about getting her butt in bed before sunrise. And much to her dismay, Patsy's destiny has even more in store for her.When a gorgeous rogue werewolf comes to town and protects her from a fanatical vampire and their servant demon, Patsy can't seem to keep her mind to herself, let alone her hands. And with the rogue's help she will have to find a way to save the town, save her friends, and save her relationship with her son. Patsy's starting to realize that a vampire's work is never done. Michele Bardsley's senses of humour, writing style and unique perspective on the vampire and lycan mythologies have made the Broken Heart series hard to resist and, as book three, Because Your Vampire Said So is no exception. Readers will find themselves identifying with Patsy and cheering her on while laughing out loud to her smart wit and sarcastic sense of humour.

Third Installment In Broken Heart Series, Fabulous!,
By Book Mama "Terri" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Because Your Vampire Said So (Mass Market Paperback)
Broken Heart, Oklahoma is a great place to live. If you're dead. Sadly for Patsy Donahue, the best (and only) hair stylist around, business is as slow has her non-existant heartbeat and she's reduced to giving shampoos to a handsome pack of werewolves to keep busy.Life (no pun intended) gets busy as she realizes her talents to communicate with ghosts as well as raise them. Her sixteen year old son, Wilson is giving her grey hair, heaven forbid! And a sexy lycanthrope named Gabriel lights her toes on fire. But he leaves her with the burning question. Who is he and can she trust him when no one else does? This is the third in the Broken Heart, Oklahoma series, and possibly the best yet. Patsy is one of the most down to earth characters we've been introduced to so far. She hasn't had it easy, but she's done the best she could and you won't find a more admirable, yet sassy vampire out there. Touching on the seriousness of the subject of how alcoholism affects all members in the family with honesty and sensitivity, Michele Bardsley isn't afraid to bring such important issues into the light. This gives a realistic foundation to Patsy's story and makes her character development all the more palpable. The obvious research into Celtic legends is apparent and adds further to the depth of the story. All the Gaelic terms (with a very handy glossary in the back of the book) are beautiful and the characters are all the more vivid because of those fine details. So let me break this down. We have a unique world with a vampire PTA, lycanthrope body guards and a consortium forming their own paranormal community. Cool, right? Michele's raucous sense of humor is sewn throughout and will have you laughing out loud. I'm giving you fair warning because if you're anything like me, the snorts will start flying and we know that's not always pretty. BECAUSE YOUR VAMPIRE SAID SO goes even deeper into the genesis of the vampires and the history is wrought with some cranky blood suckers who challenge even the oldest among them. Each vampire is hugely interesting in their own unique way, each one more dangerous than the last. Patsy has it pretty rough. One of the things she has to adapt to is her power to see ghosts. Not only can she see them, but some of them just won't leave her alone, including her smoking, gambling Grandma. As Patsy comes into her own and harnesses her abilities, the dead will rise. And you will laugh until you cry! The Broken Heart Oklahoma series is a must read, and it's going on my keeper shelf to stay. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

So entertaining the flaws fade away,
By H. Grove "Errant Dreams Reviews" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Because Your Vampire Said So (Mass Market Paperback)
Patsy is all that's best about 'white trash'. She lives in a double-wide trailer behind her salon. She's haunted by the ghosts of chain-smoking Dottie and her own grandma (who died with one hand clutching the arm of a slot machine). When scared she's more likely to sass back than whimper in fear. And when it comes to her son Wilson, she's a mama bear ready to rip the head off of anyone who hurts him---including him.I won't say this book is perfect. When rogue werewolf Gabriel and Patsy first met, and for a while thereafter, I had trouble feeling the chemistry between them. Ultimately, however, they made a very hot couple (standard adults-only explicit material warning). Also, in series books like this where each book is a separate couple's story, usually the books stand alone better. In this case, since I hadn't read the first two books, I definitely felt rather lost when it came to understanding what was going on with Broken Heart and the Consortium. Finally, there's a spot somewhat early on where a man arrives to teach Patsy what her Family powers are and how to use them. However, he appears conveniently out of nowhere, quickly teaches her everything, and then disappears out of the story again. He all but screams 'plot device.' That might seem like too many flaws for a four-out-of-five rating, and I debated giving it lower. But the truth is, this book easily deserves a four, and I'm sure for many readers it'll be a five. It's witty and hilarious, and Patsy is one of the best paranormal romance heroines ever. It also moved me to tears at the end, which is something I most definitely did not expect from this irreverent, cackle-inducing romp. So if you need a good laugh and want some feel-good fun, or if you're a forty-something single mom looking for a romance that's aimed at you, grab this series up and enjoy the hell out of it! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
