Countess Lilliana Arrabella Guinevere du Marchette is a sexy, hot, fantabulous 500-year-old BV (born vampire). The greatest sex she's had is with Ty, an MV (made vampire) who's missing. Lil's close connection with Ty leaves them able to read each other's minds. What Lil hears now is that Ty is in serious trouble and his friend, Ash, a private detective, is trying to save him.
Even her "killer" designer stiletto shoes and super powers can't transport Lil fast enough to keep up with juggling her dating service, Dead End Dating, being entered in the MMW, Manhattan's Most Wanted (bachelor) contest and coordinating her brother Jack's wedding. Pairing up vamps, humans and weres is sometimes difficult for Lil because of the emphasis on Orgasm Quotients (sometimes in the double digits.) and Fertility Ratings. But she's the best! Lil has entered the MMW contest to provide her with new clients.
Of course, taking in a stray cat that leaves little "presents" beside the bed for her to step in doesn't improve her mood either. Then you have her mother, Jacqueline, trying to pair her off with Remy, another hunky BV, and the only kind of vamp that she can reproduce with to squeeze out some little grandbaby vamps to make her mother happy!
This is a cleverly written work of fiction that keeps you chuckling all the way through. The descriptions are very funny and you can't wait to read what happens next. Kimberly Raye has a way with words that will keep you engrossed and wanting more.
Murder.
Sex.
Horny werewolves.
Lil Marchette, owner of Manhattanโs premier matchmaking
service, has seen it all. Sheโs faced down a vengeful
vampire hellbent on framing her for murder. Sheโs had hot,
incredible sex with hunky bounty hunter/made vampire Ty
Bonner. And she successfully matched up the single members
of the Connecticut chapter of the Naked and Unashamed
Nudist Sisterhood (aka the horny werewolves) before the
full moon.
Whew . . . This incredibly well-dressed vamp needs a little
down time, or at least a major shopping spree.
Yeah, right.
Being wanted for murder can impact a girlโs livelihood.
Despite the nice chunk of cash from the N.U.N.S., Lil is
barely making ends meet. It seems that while she was busy
proving her innocence and matching up werewolves, the rest
of her client list dwindled. On top of that, Dead End
Dating is under the microscope of local officials,
particularly a city councilwoman (human, of course) who is
convinced that DED isnโt what it appears to be.
Which means Lil needs human clients. Lots of human clients.
And fast.
No problemo. She has the brains to go with her ultrafab
wardrobe, and so she recognizes opportunity when she sees
it. Namely Manhattanโs Most Wanted. Fashioned after The
Batchelor, Manhattanโs Most Wanted is a local reality show
that follows fifty women as they via for an all expense
paid date with one of the cityโs most eligible bachelors.
Fifty single women.
Hmmm . . .
While Lil has no desire to win The Date (human male+ultra
hot born female vamp=getting ass kicked by meddling born
vamp mother), she sees the show as a prime opportunity to
beef up her human client list. And so she signs herself up.
In the meantime, she vows not to think about Ty Bonner. Or
the fact that he left after their one wild night together
and hasnโt been heard from since.
Okay, so Lil hears him. They are kinda, sorta mentally
linked since a little blood-sharing episode in book one,
and so she can hear him calling for help.
Uh, oh.
Lil launches a full-blown search for Ty whoโs been abducted
by a vengeful killer. At the same time, she does her best
NOT to win herself a date with Manhattanโs Most Wanted.
Unfortunately, her V magnetism is hard at work. Despite her
best efforts, she finds herself headed for the grand finale
and an appearance on the Today show.
Major uh, oh .
