Megan Sweeney is used to being treated like one of the guys.
In high school, she was a jock who hung out with the boys,
she played just about every sport, and she can pick a
winning team during the playoffs better than most of the men
in her small town of Skull Creek, Texas. When Meg decides to
shed her tomboy image, the townspeople have a hard time with
the transformation. Meg wouldn't have such a problem with
their reluctance if good friend Dillon Cash hadn't
transformed himself from geek to heartthrob in just two
months. With Dillon's help, Meg is determined to learn the
secret to becoming sexy, alluring, and irresistible to the
opposite sex so that she can appear in the "Hot Chicks" list
of her local newspaper. But when he seems reluctant to help
her, Meg just becomes more determined to learn his secrets.
Dillon Cash was an ordinary computer technician before he
was transformed into a vampire. Along with the need for both
blood and sex, he also gained a charismatic personality and
an impossible to resist rakish charm that has women falling
at his feet. Not quite used to these new talents, Dillon
tries to avoid his family and friends, including Meg, while
seeking a way to regain his humanity. But Meg refuses to
take no for an answer, and before he knows it Dillon finds
himself giving her lessons on seduction, which trying not to
fall for her at the same time.
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS is part of Kimberly Raye's Love at First
Bite series, but it wasn't one of those books where you need
to have read the previous ones to follow along. I haven't
read any of the others, and I never found myself wondering
what was going on. This was just an entertaining and easy
story that I could enjoy at my leisure. Megan was a humorous
and easy-to-relate to heroine. I think everyone has at one
point tried to make themselves over with pretty disastrous
effects, so it was amusing to watch her floundering through
her attempts. And Dillon was sexy for a newly turned
vampire, and not at all helpless and confused as can
sometimes happen with this sort of character. As a whole, I
enjoyed this funny, quick read and would definitely read the
others in the series.
Dillon Cash used to be the biggest geek in Skull Creek,
Texas—until a vampire encounter changed him into a lean,
mean sex machine. Now every woman in town wants a piece of
the hunky cowboy.
Meg Sweeney can't get over her old friend Dillon's
transformation. Not only does she want him, but she's also
dying to figure out how he did it. Because Meg is a former
geek herself. If Dillon can suddenly morph into a stud,
who's to say there isn't a sex kitten waiting to be
unleashed inside her? She just needs a little instruction….
Dillon's never been able to refuse his best pal, Meg,
anything…even sex lessons. Little does he guess that one
life-changing night in her bed will leave him dying to live
again…
