Countess Lilliana Arrabella Guinevere du Marchette is not
your typical woman. Sure, she's a primo matchmaker and
owner of the Dead End Dating Service and of course a slave
to fashion, but isn't every five-hundred-year-old born
vampire? What else is there for a knock-out,
sophisticated woman to do? Someone has to show those
insidious humans how to hook up with the right person
while having the most incredible sex of their lives.
Hanging around for half a century does have its perks.
Too bad Lil's love du jour, Ty Bonner, has vanished with
no clues as to his whereabouts yet somehow he is
telepathically sending Lil messages for help. Go figure!
Enter hot, homicide detective Ash Prince to the scene and
things start to get a little steamy as the pair team up
while resisting the urge to do their own version of the
tango in between the sheets. Add Lil's crazy mother who
wishes her future daughter-in-law will magically disappear
despite her brother's undying love for his future bride,
and you have conjured up just an ordinary day in life of
Lil Marchette. And just when she thinks things can't
possibly get any worse, she finds herself as a contestant
on Manhattan's Most Wanted dating show with a bunch of
desperate woman who hope to hook up with the local, hot
weatherman. Please! Where's a sexy, unattached vampire
when you need one?
Luckily, Lil seems to always find the silver lining in any
black cloud. Perhaps the unlucky contestants who are
ousted from the show can boost her business while Lil
tries her hand at playing detective in a desperate search
to find her man. Throw some hot werewolves and made
vampires into the mix and you've got the makings of a
ghoulish story just bursting with excitement.
YOUR COFFIN OR MINE is the third novel in Kimberly Raye's
popular vampire series. From her zany characters to her
smart and sassy dialogue, Raye delivers a tasty tidbit
sure to please even the most finicky vampire.
Lil Marchette, owner of Manhattan’s premier matchmaking
service, has seen it all. She’s faced down a vengeful
vampire hellbent on framing her for murder. She’s 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 girl’s 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 isn’t 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 Manhattan’s Most Wanted. Fashioned after The
Batchelor, Manhattan’s Most Wanted is a local reality show
that follows fifty women as they via for an all expense
paid date with one of the city’s 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 hasn‘t 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 who’s been abducted
by a vengeful killer. At the same time, she does her best
NOT to win herself a date with Manhattan’s 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.
