Kiki has been with the Arcane Royale dancing troupe for 50
years, it's not a hardship because she has no memory of her
past life. She is about to get the shot at headlining, no
more WAITING IN THE WINGS for this girl. But something
strange happens, she feels an unusual need to sneak out, to
find someone and have a little fun. Not that she had been a
saint or anything, but it was never this strong.
Richard Casere, is the vampire Prince of New York, and he
is in Las Vegas in search of his missing bride. Fifty years
ago, they had an argument, one of many but they always
ended with forgiveness but this time Kristina didn't come
home. Arrogantly he let it go, let her cool off, he was
busy after all. When he realized she had really disappeared
it is too late they search but to no avail. It is only
recently that he has gotten word that she is Kiki the
dancer.
After compelling her to come to him at the casino, he sees
she really doesn't remember him. He quickly formulates a
plan to get her to forgive him for not always putting her
first, for waiting so long to find her. Unfortunately he
only has three days in another prince's city to do all he
wants ... to find out how she got trapped by the overseers
of
the Royale, why he couldn't find her, find a way to get her
release and make her fall in love with him again. It's a
good thing he knows her so well and that he has friends who
like to dig into other people's lives.
WAITING IN THE WINGS is another fantastic offering by
author Heather Long. It gives you everything that you want
to read in a very hot paranormal romance. You have a sexy
little vampire (who has forgotten she is one), an arrogant
prince vampire with a couple of macho kick-butt bodyguards,
a little imp who will make you laugh, a lot of steamy sex
and a mystery that you will not guess the outcome. I loved
Kiki's spirit and I certainly thought she was an equal
match to Richard, especially as the memories came slowly
back. It was amazing to see Richard realize his mistakes
and work to fix them. I especially loved Ms. Long's wicked
sense of justice with the little surprise she gives us in
the end. This is the third of her Soul Girls series
and I
hope she plans for many more, because I want them.
Who can blame Richard for his half-century-long bad mood?
For fifty years he’s been waiting for his bride to get over
the spat that sent her storming away from the safety of his
territory. For fifty years, he’s missed everything about
her—even her whimsical challenges to his authority.
It’s time for her to come home, but when he gets a lead on
her whereabouts, he’s stunned. She’s dancing in a glitzy,
gaudy Las Vegas show. And her memory of him has been wiped
clean.
Kiki finally has the opportunity to headline at the Arcana
Royale, but she’s not sure she’s happy about it. Especially
when a dark, handsome stranger arouses forbidden passions
from deep inside the fog of her lost past.
Richard has been granted only three days in hostile
territory to free his Kiki from the curse binding her mind.
Only one problem. When Kiki remembers Richard, she may not
forgive him, but if she never remembers, she’ll never be
free.
Warning: Contains an arrogant-as-hell vampire prince who
will stop at nothing to get the girl he loves, an
unpredictable showgirl who loves to party, and scorching sex
that drives them both wild.
