Romance Paranormal

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!

SUMMARY

Real readers love this series and its “vampire to die for”(Kimberly Raye, USA Today bestselling author of Dead End Dating)—from the author of Real 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.
