Don't Blackmail the Vampire

4½ stars. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is funny, hot, romantic, SEXY, and—come on—vampire! A handsome, soulful vamp who loves his human lady with all he's got *sigh*. Of course there's the obligatory obstacles and lots of past hurts to overcome, and our heroin is a stubborn, smart and fiercely independent girl, so he has to work for it, but the book strikes the perfect balance to make it an enjoyable, fun, light romantic read. I'll definitely check out the next one, can't wait to read about Alex!

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps the readers well entertained throughout with lots of intrigue, drama, humor and romance. The author paints vivid images of the scenes and events with well written descriptions and details that capture the imagination. The strong compelling characters are charismatic, easily related to and draw the reader deeper into the story and have them wanting to know more. The attraction between Rachel and Charles radiates heat from every page and the sex scenes are hot enough to melt all the snow and ice at the ski resort where the story takes place. Rachel captures the heart with her loyalty and determination to save her sister from a broken heart, but her past is certainly clouding her judgment and causes some problems in the relationship and the sexy vampire Charles also grabs some heartfelt emotion when his soft side has him rescuing Rachel. Together they send sparks flying through the mountains with their snarky and humorous banter. I found this story to be enjoyable and entertaining with lots of humorous scenes and dialogue, intriguing missions, steamy passion, charming characters and some twist that kept me guessing.
