Janie Parker works as a supernatural assassin for the Boss
from Hell. If an employee displeases 'The Boss', he kills
them on the spot. Janie's latest mission is to retrieve a
magical object called The Eye and bring it back to him.
The Boss' seers had a vision of where they can find The Eye
and that is by following a vampire and a werewolf to a
diner. When Janie first spots the duo at the diner, she is
shocked to see her childhood crush Michael Quinn, newly
turned, but yet reluctant vampire. Quinn is a former vampire hunter, who is now a vampire
himself. He no longer hunts vampires but he doesn't want to
be one either. Quinn was given a map to find The Eye from
an old family friend. The Eye is known to grant one wish,
once every millennium. Quinn wants to find it so he can
wish to be human again. He is miserable as a vampire and
doesn't want to drink blood or partake in the usual vampire
practices. Janie's job is to have Quinn lead her to The Eye and then
steal it from him and give it to her boss. Unfortunately,
the old familiar crush is still there and her feelings are
interfering with her job. When Quinn realizes what
Janie is after, there will be a fight to the finish to make
sure she doesn't steal The Eye from him. This is his only
chance to become human again and Quinn is not about to just
hand over The Eye without a fight. Janie has her own reasons for fighting so hard to find her
prize. The Boss has claimed to know the whereabouts of her
missing sister and will kill her if Janie doesn't do what
he's asked. So when The Boss demands that Janie has to
kill Quinn after finding The Eye, she is left with a heart
breaking decision to make. How can she kill the man who she's loved since she was a
little girl? How can Janie choose between her own sister
and Quinn? Will Janie and Quinn find The Eye or will
sinister forces come in the way of their important mission? LADY AND THE VAMP is a delectable treat from start to
finish. The hunt to find the treasure was exciting and
there was suspense on every page of this story. The
romance and paranormal elements made this a joy to read.
This is my first book by Michelle Rowan but I was able to
follow the storyline without having read the previous books
in the series. I would highly recommend this book to paranormal romance
readers who are looking for an exciting, suspenseful, and
fun book to read. LADY AND THE VAMP is romantic, sweet,
funny, and everything I could ask for in a story.
SUMMARY
Former vampire hunter Michael Quinn is living a nightmare:
he's been turned into a vampire. His only hope is the
"Eye"--a long-lost artifact that, once every millennium,
will grant one wish to its possessor. Fortunately for Quinn,
he has a map detailing the path to the "Eye." All he needs
to do is find it, then he can wish himself back
into humanity.
Janie Parker has made a lot of many
mistakes in her life, not the least of which was getting
tricked into working for a demon. Not only is the pay awful,
but she has to successfully complete all her unsavory
assignments or risk a torturous death. Her latest mission is
to track a vampire who apparently knows where some stupid
treasure is. No problem. Until she sees who the vampire is
-- Michael Quinn, a man she's had a crush on since she was
twelve years old. Too bad she'll have to kill him to get to
the "Eye."
But Quinn and Janie are kindred spirits, and
soon they're falling in love even though they're after what
the other person is desperate for: the "Eye".
