Synopsis
From Goodreads.com:
All Joy Randall wants is a little old-fashioned romance, but
when she participates in a "Goddess evoking" ceremony with her
friend, Roxy, Joy finds out her future true love is a man with the potential to
put her immortal soul in danger. At first the ever-practical Joy is ready to
dismiss her vision as a product of too much gin and too many vampire romances,
but while traveling through the Czech Republic with Roxy, Joy begins to have
some second thoughts about her mystery lover because she is suddenly plagued by
visions of a lethally handsome stranger. Then, when she and Roxy attend a local
GothFaire, Joy meets Raphael Griffin St. John, head of security, and she
becomes even more bewildered because the dark and dangerous Raphael seems too
close to her dreams for comfort.
From Author’s Site (because I love her sense of humour):
Joy Randall’s Top 5 Tips for Vampire Hunters:
- Location, location, location. Remember, if you wouldn’t be there, neither would a bloodsucker.
- Trust your eyes. You know the handsome, annoyingly arrogant, self-assured man in the shadows with long hair and a cleft in his chin? He’s your vampire.
- No matter how tempting it might be, do not “accidentally” acquire a paper cut and suggest YOUR VAMPIRE kiss your finger to make it better.
- From here on out, play it cool. Don’t offer to accompany your prince of the night on the talk show circuit and whatever you do, don’t offer him your heart.
- And most of all, remembering a vampire is nothing to laugh about.
