When Milagro de los Santos left her nice, stable fiancé, Dr. Oswald Grant, for the dark and mysterious Ian Ducharme, she never thought about what she might be giving up. Now with Ian, Milagro can't help but think of what her life would have been like if she had stayed with Oswald, especially since Ian is just as mysterious now as he was then. Milagro draws the line when she finds Ian sucking on the neck of a neighbor, prompting her to run to London, where she ends up becoming the number one suspect in a murder.

With no idea where to turn, Milagro runs to the only place she knows where she'll be safe, back to Oswald and his ranch. An accident leaves her with amnesia, erasing the past two years of her life, leaving her with no memories of becoming a vampire or knowing Ian. Back to the carefree girl she was before her life turned upside down, Milagro has a second chance at making things right with Oswald. Now the only thing left to do is decide who to pick-- Ian or Oswald.

I have loved the Casa Dracula series from the moment I picked up the first book in the series and nothing has changed now that we're down to the last one. HAUNTED HONEYMOON is the fourth and final book in Marta Acosta's series which follows Milagro de los Santos on her many escapades. This clever and witty comedy doesn't take itself too seriously and it shows in all the hilarious adventures that make up Milagro's life. The end of Milagro's escapades feels a bit like finding out the wild and crazy friend always had fun with, no matter how much trouble you got into afterward, now has five kids and has turned into the quintessential soccer mom. You just never want it to end, but like all good things, it must. With the end of this series we also get to find out who Milagro ultimately chooses, Ian or Oswald. I won't tell you who I was rooting for, but I will tell you I am absolutely thrilled she picked the one she did. To find out for yourself who Milagro is going to be spending her happily ever after with, pick up a copy of HAUNTED HONEYMOON, and the rest of the Casa Dracula books if you haven't already read them. You'll be beyond thrilled you did.

SUMMARY

Milagro must figure out how she fits in the vampire world, and who it is she really loves: her current lover Ian Duchame, her ex-fiance Oswald Grant, or maybe the new bloke she meets on a trip to England.

Whenever Milagro is near decadent aristovamp Ian Duchame, her hormones hijack her brains. Yes, she is bothered by his mysterious trips and his unwillingness to tell her hte full scope of his role with the secretive Vampire Council. But does that really matter when the man is so powerful and sexy?

Then there is Dr. Oswald Grant, the hardworking and fabulous man Milagro had planned to marry before crazy relatives an unknown enemy sabotaged her wedding and endangered her life. But Milagro yearns for hte chance to do things over--and do them right this time.

Things are already complicated when Milagro heads to England to pursue a job opportunity and meets the free spirited Wilcox Spiggot. He seems to be the whole package: an idealistic vamp who is always ready to party. Would a fling with count if it takes place across an ocean?

The fun ends once Milagro returns home and makes a grisly discovery. One terrible event leads to another and Milagro seeks refuge at the place she has always felt safest: Oswald's wine country ranch, nicknamed Casa Dracula. When severe trauma and remorse lead to amnesia, Milagro forgets her entire history with the vampires and goes back to being the happy-go-lucky party girl seh once was. With her memory erased, will Milagro have a chance to win back the vamp that got away--or will she make the same mistakes all over again?
