Brittany Baldizzi is a dentist in Las Vegas. She's also
half vampire. She had an uncontrolled passionate encounter
a few weeks ago and now she finds herself pregnant. By a
vampire. And not just any vampire. The father is Corbin
Atelier, a French vampire from the days of the French
Revolution. Their baby will only be a quarter human, but
that's enough to make it a "daywalker," who doesn't need
blood to survive. And there's a group of vampires who will
do almost anything to get Brittany and her baby, because
the baby can be used to create a new race of beings. Having
control of that possibility would mean power -- lots of
power.
BLED DRY is a great continuation of Ms. McCarthy's Vegas
Vampire series. Brittany is feisty, yet vulnerable. She's
loving, yet has an acerbic wit. Corbin is a very lovable
mix of modern-day research scientist and 18th century
French aristocrat. They're a great couple together, as
unlikely as it seems, and they love each other. What more
could you ask for? Great story, fabulous characters and a
really cool setting. Pick up the entire Vegas Vampire
trilogy by Ms. McCarthy, HIGH STAKES, BIT THE JACKPOT and
BLED DRY. You'll like it. You'll really like it.
Hooking up with a vampire has its risks-but getting
pregnant usually isn't one of them. Tell that to Brittany
Baldizzi, who finds herself in the family way with no
father in sight. After their one night of passion, vampire
Corbin Jean Michel disappeared off the face of the earth-or
at least off the Vegas strip.
Corbin is a vampire with a cause, secretly trying to find a
cure for his condition. But when he finds out Brittany is
pregnant with his child, Corbin can't keep his paternal
instincts from trumping his bloodsucking ones. Even when
showing his hand could cost him the woman he can't help but
love.
