PNR Review: How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake, Book 1) [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "How To Marry a Millionaire Vampire" the 1st book in her Love at Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks.

Product Description

So what if he's a bit older and usually regards a human female as dinner, not a dinner date? Yes, Roman Draganesti is a vampire, but a vampire who lost one of his fangs sinking his teeth into something he shouldn't have. Now he has one night to find a dentist before his natural healing abilities close the wound, leaving him a lop–sided eater for all eternity.

Things aren't going well for Shanna Whelan either ... After witnessing a gruesome murder by the Russian mafia, she's next on their hit list. And her career as a dentist appears to be on a downward spiral because she's afraid of blood. When Roman rescues her from an assassination attempt, she wonders if she's found the one man who can keep her alive. Though the attraction between them is immediate and hot, can Shanna conquer her fear of blood to fix Roman's fang? And if she does, what will prevent Roman from using his fangs on her. 

About the Author

Kerrelyn Sparks is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Love at Stake series. Each book in the series has landed on the USA Today bestseller list, but when the fourth book, The Undead Next Door, jumped onto the New York Times list at #14, even the Undead sat up and took notice. That same book was nominated (not by the Undead) for the RITA® Award for best paranormal romance of 2008.

My Review:

Roman is a typical alpha male vampire - rich, handsome and playboy.  He was a healing monk in his former life who was kidnapped by bad vampires and tortured.  He finally escaped and formed a group of power vampires which he has turned himself.  He recently discovered a synthetic blood for his species and he's on the verge of discovering a formula to stay awake during the daylight hours.  Two of his employees have built a sex toy for vampires but when Roman bites it his tooth comes out.  He needs a night dentist.

Shanna life is boring and she is in the witness protection program after witnessing a mafia massacre and the death of her family.  The mafia have found where she works and puts on a hit on her that very night.  She is saved by a hot guy who wants her to put a wolf fang back into his mouth.

This series is hilarious and always makes me laugh when I'm in sad mood.  It was a hoot when we first meet Vanda and I really liked Darcy (she was so nice to Shanna).

4/5
