Romance Paranormal

Vampire slayer Emma Wallace is good at her job; driven even. Emma's parents were murdered by malcontent vampires and she's out to even the score by killing as many of the bloodsuckers as she can.

"Good guy" vampire Angus McKay is sent to convince Emma to give up her killing ways before she causes an all-out war between the two vampire factions -- the good guys who've given up human blood for synthetics and the evil vamps who're still set on wiping out humanity. Even though Emma is drawn to the 500-year-old undead sexy Highlander, she isn't willing to lay down her stake and let Angus have his wicked way with her. Not quite yet, anyway. While romance blooms, other problems surface.

In his 500 years on earth, Angus has had his share of enemies and one of them, an oldgirlfriend, stalks the pair with a vengeance. If only the star-crossed lovers can see through their cloud of prejudice and lust, they might live long enough to come to some sort of an understanding that doesn't involve a stake through the heart.

This third book in Spark's Love at Stake series was silly and fun. However, Angus' brogue got in the way and occasionally took me out of the story. I dislike the brogue; it's like using laugh tracks on sitcoms. As far as I'm concerned, after 500 years of travel, his accent should be a little less noticeable. BE STILL MY VAMPIRE HEART will keep Sparks' fans sated and looking forward to more of her vampire romances.

SUMMARY

If it was still beating. Angus MacKay has been undead for almost five hundred years and it's not often something, or someone, surprises him. Until Emma Wallace. The sight of this luscious agent from the CIA's elite Stake-Out team was enough to stop Angus in his tracks. But then he discovers that she's a vampire slayer, intent on killing the "monsters" who killed her parents. And it's Angus's job to stop her.

The only good vampire is a dead vampire. It's been Emma's motto since she committed her life to the destruction of these things. Now Angus MacKay wants to convince her differently.

Sure, he's a sexy Highland warrior who seems to have stepped off the cover of a romance novel, complete with brogue, kilt, and sword, but he's also one of them. And it's her job to kill him.

The war is on, but will it end in the destruction of one or both of them . . . or in total surrender to a passion for the ages?
