Vamps and the City (Love at Stake Series #2) - By Kerrelyn Sparks


After Roman Draganesti’s harem is kicked out of his town house, they have no where to go, no money, and most importantly no hunky gorgeous man to fill their needs! 

So how do 5 beautiful women bounce back from that? By starring in a reality series to find a new master, of course. And what exactly would this show be called? Well the Sexiest Man on Earth! Duh?! Judging the men by looks and seeing what skills they posses, the ladies are ready to find their one and only.

Darcy is the newest TV producer at DVN, and has come up with the brilliant idea to create this reality series to find her former harem ladies a man. There's a catch though, and Darcy is the only one who knows about it, hell she came up with the idea. To spice things up she's decided to throw a couple of humans in the line up to see if the harem ladies can sniff them out, she'll get a promotion for sure! Though Darcy has only been in the vampire world a few years, she knows what the reaction from everyone will be, and who doesn't like a bit of controversy?

With the camera's rolling and the contestants being picked off one by one, Darcy is starting to realize that there's more to one contestant then meets the eye. Besides her libido doing somersaults, and her heart racing anytime he's near, there's just something about him that she can't put her finger on. She knows he's human, but that's not it and it has her stumped....hmmmm.....funny because he feels the exact same way.

I thought that after reading, How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire, reading the next book in the series would be hard because it wasn't about the original Shanna & Roman. Oh was I wrong! I've never seen an author so flawlessly and effortlessly pull all the characters from the previous book into the current book without overshadowing the current main characters. Kerrelyn definitely has a special touch when it comes to these characters and the world they live.

How To Marry a Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake Series #1) - By Kerrelyn Sparks


Talk about taking the vampire world to another level. Who would have thought that there would be a whole TV network just for vampires, or that the makers of synthetic blood would create something like Chocoblood or Bleer fusions. I can tell you one person who wouldn't have, Shanna Whelan.  She never thought that her world could be turned upside down so fast in one night. From minding her own business and trying to get through the night shift at SoHo SoBright dental clinic, to being teleported away and hypnotized into reinserting a fang into the mouth of the most gorgeous man she has ever seen. Shanna realizes that this new world she has stumbled upon isn't what she thought it would be, now stuck in Roman Draganesti's townhouse unable to leave, she finds herself questioning if should would really want to leave if she was given the choice.

Kerrelyn to this date is one of my favorite authors, she knows how to keep suspense, love, humor, and gore all in balance. I would strongly suggest that everyone read at least one of her books, because by the time you pick up the first one, you'll find your putting down the newest addition to her series wondering when the next one will be out.
