Joy Randall is a girl with big expectations and an even bigger love for vampire romance novels. Unsuccessful so far in her quest to find her soulmate, Joy can't say no when her friend Roxy suggests a holiday to the Czech Republic.
Tall, dark strangers Tick. Craggy, romantic landscapes Tick. Hoardes of centuries-old men who want to suck your blood OK, that's just Roxy's over-active imagination. After all, vampires don't exist . . . do they Plagued by dreams of a handsome stranger, haunted by a mysterious prophecy, and pursued by three pale, brooding, slightly sinister suitors, Joy isn't so sure now. Worried about her growing attraction to the enigmatic Raphael, she knows that one thing's for certain: Mr. Right should not equal Mr. Heading-Right-For-Your-Neck. But can she resist the lure of the Dark Ones Is her attraction to Raphael just lust . . . or blood lust And will she find a chosen life partner that is, well, alive Nowadays, finding The One sure is a pain in the neck . . .'With its superb characterization and writing that manages to be both sexy and humorous, this contempary paranormal love story is an absolute delight.' -- Booklist starred review for A GIRL'S GUIDE TO VAMPIRES 'A book rich with humor, loaded with sexual tension, and packed with interesting, if sometimes slightly off-beat, characters.' -- Romance Reviews Today on A GIRL'S GUIDE TO VAMPIRES 'Readers who delight in satiric romances will want to learn the rules of A Girl's Guide to Vampires."' -- Midwest Book Review 'Smart, sexy and funny - Katie delivers!' -- Christine Feehan on FIRE ME UP
