Glory St. Claire has a lot on her plate this New Year's Eve
after Blade, her long-time love, cancels on her and goes to
Europe in search of his long-lost possible daughter, Lily.
Left at loose ends, a frantic call from a bodyguard brings
Glory to the party of new vampire rock star Israel "Ray"
Caine. Glory's presence is much-needed, as Ray is on a
bender and alcohol and made vampires didn't mix.
To get Ray away from the party, Glory coaxes him out on the
river. A bad move, it turns out, when their good deed to
rescue someone in distress brings them face to face with a
Siren on a mission. Aglaophonos (Aggie) has been turned
into a hideous creature by Circe until Aggie brings her
three vampires. Aggie figures she has two-thirds of her
quota filled, until Ray and Glory make her a deal she can't
refuse.
Back on dry land, with a deadline to meet with Aggie, Glory
and Ray are besieged by nosy paparazzi, crazed fans,
amorous friends, a jealous Blade and his daughter and her
friends. All this pales in comparison when old enemy Brent
Westwood returns, determined to add Glory's fangs to his
collection. Between teaching Ray about his vampiric skills,
dodging the longings of a lovesick fan and preparing for
Westwood's pending attack, Glory must deal with Aggie's
return to her Siren self and her plans to remain in the
area.
REAL VAMPIRES DON'T DIET by Gerry Bartlett is a fun
return to the world of Gloriana St. Claire. Trouble seems
to follow her, and there's no shortage of it in this fourth
foray into Texas. Backed by her faithful pet Valdez (hot,
hot, hot!), Glory deals with each crisis in her typical
straightforward fashion. The addition of Aggie to the mix
of vampires promises trouble in the future for Glory and
her friends. This one is pure entertaining fun!

for”(Kimberly Raye, USA Today bestselling author

Vampires Get Lucky.
Gloriana St.
Claire—curvy, stylish, and undead—is spending New Year’s Eve
alone. And it’s all because her boyfriend, Jeremy Blade, is
traipsing off to parts unknown to rescue his supposed
daughter from the clutches of “dangerous radicals.” But just
as Glory settles in for the evening, a phone call from the
bodyguard of a drunk, newly-undead rock star could end her
year on a crazy note.
