It bit: New York hotels cost an arm and a leg, and Terri had flown from England to help plan her cousin's wedding. The new in-laws offered lodging. But they were a weird bunch. There was the sometimes-chipper-sometimes-brooding Lucern, and the wacky stage-actor, Vincent. (She couldn't imagine Broadway casting a hungrier singing-and-dancing Dracula.). And then there was Bastien. Just looking into his eyes, Terri had to admit she was falling for him - someone even taller, darker and hungrier than the other two. She was feeling a mite peckish herself. And if she stayed with him, those bloodsucking hotel owners wouldn't get her!
My thoughts:
What I missed most in this book was the humour. The other ones had me giggling. This one, well the humour missed its mark, if it was supposed to be humour. It was still good cos it was light, and not PNR serious. So for that it still gets an ok mark, even if it was bordering good sometimes. I just missed the giggling!
Bastien meets Terri. A cousin of Kate who is marrying Bastien's brother. Most of the book takes place during 2 weeks. Terri is helping with the wedding and Bastien is falling for her. And of course at the end there is the usual OMG YOU ARE A VAMP! Drama, well with a twist.
So they help with the wedding. Sees NY. There is kissing, there is more. There is the part that was supposed to be funny? It wasn't. And there is a HEA.
Conclusion:
I still miss the funniness.

Good to hear there is a HEA but sorry to hear you miss the funnies
ReplyDeleteThe funnies were fun
DeleteSorry the humor wasn't quite as on point as it was with the previous books!
ReplyDeleteI did miss that
DeleteAt least it wasn't all that bad even if it wasn't super funny
ReplyDeleteTrue
DeleteOh boo. For me, the funnies is a required element in a good PNR series. Sorry this one missed the mark.
ReplyDeleteI do need it, cos else, it's just pnr and not for me
DeleteBummer on not being funny. The one I read from her gave a giggle or two. I haven't caught up on them.
ReplyDeleteThey are fun for a giggle or two, not more
Delete*waves* :) Happy Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteHalf the workweek done
DeleteHumor is a tricky thing. I've had a few misses that way. Hopefully next time you'll be back to giggling.
ReplyDeleteI need it in pnr. Without it I can not deal anymore
DeleteGood humor will always bump a book up for me.

They are so...fun ;)
DeleteMah, it's a trap many writers fall into - allowing the characters to take themselves too serious, often at the expense of humor. Well, at least there was a HEA :)
ReplyDeleteYes at least a HEA. But sadly, that advice was needed
DeleteBut it has Nathan Kamp on the cover!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut the covers are all so similar!
DeleteThe curse of branding, I guess. At least they could've included his head... ;p
DeleteThis author is still on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteOne day then
DeleteI have this series on my wishlist or one of her series.I like humor too and would have missed it.
ReplyDeleteThere are a million books in this series so might be this one ;)
Deletehaha, same here
ReplyDeleteSometimes a book just doesn't fit into the series, I do hope the next one makes you giggle again.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe I read so much funniness in pnr
DeleteSounds like it's the one book of the series that wasn't the same. There's always one....
ReplyDeleteSo true
