Lara Boucher's entire life revolved around the fact that
she's a cop in New York City. But when she's called to
check out a noisy party complaint at the Plaza Hotel, her
life takes an abrupt detour. She briefly meets Giacomo di
Venezia (Jack) and nothing is the same after that. The
other cops and ambulance personnel she called to the scene
are all acting like zombies and no one remembers anything
about why they are there. No one but her, that is. This
gets her weird-o-meter running full-out.
Jack is blown away. Not only is the cop one sexy babe, but
he can't control her mentally -- he is done for. Jack knows
Lara is the woman for him; he just has to convince her.
This is where being the son of the famous Casanova could
come in handy. But Jack is a secret agent of sorts with a
vampire agency that hunts rogue vampires who've gone too
far, and that could be a stumbling block to their life
together.
Lara's reality changes form when she learns about vampires.
She and Jack are falling in love with each other when they
begin investigating the disappearance of girls from local
college campuses. When Lara is missing, Jack is sure she's
been taken by the kidnapper. He's determined to have a life
with Lara, but in order to do that, he has to find her
before she's killed.
I really, really liked SECRET LIFE OF A VAMPIRE and can't
wait until FORBIDDEN NIGHTS WITH A VAMPIRE comes out in
May. Strong, contemporary cop; ultra masculine, yet
besotted vampire who not only is a secret agent, but is the
son of Casanova -- well, the combination is simply
delicious. Add in the suspense of a vampire cult with
delusions of grandeur and you have a story that keeps you
turning the pages all the way through.
A typical bachelor party is all about beers and beautiful
women. A vampire bachelor party is no different -- except
the men are drinking Blissky (whiskey-flavored synthetic
blood). And no one can throw a party quite like Jack, the
illegitimate son of the legendary Casanova. But when the
party gets out of hand and the cops show up, Jack has some
explaining to do . . . if only he wasn't struck speechless
by the beauty of Officer Lara Boucher.
Lara is sure there's something more than a bachelor party
going on. What is Jack hiding? And why is he so interested
in the recent disappearance of young women all over town?
Her investigation uncovers more than she wants to know,
especially about this modern-day Casanova. But if she's
ever to make detective, she'll need to expose all his
secrets . . . if only her heart wasn't on the line.
