Gwenna Carrick lives in a Las Vegas casino and does nothing
for a living (she's the casino owner's sister). She's
conservative in both dress and actions and she's over 900
years old. Oh yes, she's a vampire. She dabbles on the
computer and has joined an online group calling themselves
the Slayers. They pretend they're vampire slayers, of
course. Only not all of them are pretending. And at least
one more of them besides Gwenna is a vampire, because
members of the club are being found dead -- and drained.
Nate Thomas is the homicide detective investigating the
murders. He knows Gwenna is involved somehow, but she's way
too hot to be a murderer -- and way too innocent. If they
can keep their hands off one another long enough, they
might be able to find a murderer -- before the murderer gets
to Gwenna.
SUCKER BET, Ms. McCarthy's latest installment in the Tales
of Vegas Vampires saga of the Carricks (rulers of the
vampire nation and all that comes with it), is hot, fun,
hot, exciting, thrilling and hot. Whoa, baby! Gwenna is
sweet, loving, smart, learning to say what she thinks and
to do what she likes. It's about time; she's been divorced
300 years. She's a girl after my own heart, and the hearts
of women around the world. Nate is caring, a little bit sad
and hot as a randy, alpha hard body could possibly be. I
wish I had one just like him. The story is as good as all
the others in the series have been and I can't wait for the
next one. If you haven't sampled them yet, you need to.
HIGH STAKES, BIT THE JACKPOT and BLED DRY are keepers, too.
SUCKER BET is a very good and satisfying read.
The national bestselling author of Bled Dry
returns to vampire-filled Las Vegas!
A
night of indulgence can feel like an eternity. Gwenna
Carrick has a history-900 years of it. As the vampiress ex-
wife of the notorious vampire Roberto Donatelli, she must
keep a low profile. Not easy when you're bathed in the
neon glow of Las Vegas-especially when there's a whole
online group of vampire slayers bent on dealing you your
last hand.
A wild night with a stranger was not
in the cards for Gwenna. But that's what happened when she
met the ruggedly handsome detective Nate Thomas. Their
passion made her feel alive again. But when Donatelli
catches wind of the tryst, he's determined to clean house,
with Nate the first on his to-off list. Gwenna knows she
hit the jackpot with Nate and won't let anyone stand in
the way. But both soon realize they have far more enemies
than Donatelli- both on the strip and underground.
