Kerrelyn Sparks (Love At Stake Series)

If you are new to the "Love at Stake Series", let me tell you about it. The whole series is just a really great find for me. I am a huge fan of series books but some times when you read them after a while they get repetitious and boring. Not with these books! Every story is different, even though they have the same main characters. The writer is very talented! The first book of the series is "How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire". It is hilarious! Roman (A Vampire) the Main Character has a little "mishap" and needs a dentist and it all just goes from there. I laughed so hard! They are funny and serious...there is drama and always a few sides stories within the story, I liked them so much I am embarrassed to say how many times I read and re-read them. There are 10 books so far in the series. I enjoyed every one of them!!!







I have been a fan of the "Love at Stake Series" since the beginning! Her latest book "Vampire Mine" was released 3/29/11 and doesn't disappoint! It is fantastic! After I read it, I loved it so much I wanted to start over and read it again. You know it is a good book when you are disappointed when it is over only because you didn't want it to end! And of course, I will be waiting for the next book to come out! When it does... I am sure I will write about it too!

I Heart Jeaniene Frost

Jeaniene Frost is a fairly new author, she has one series (Night Huntress Series) and then has started a spin off based of some of the character's in her series! I love all of these books!!! They are awesome! I tried to describe them but I just make them sound cheesy! They are not cheesy! Having said that, here is my cheesy description. Cat is the main character. She is half vampire and half human. Her crazy mother convinces her that she is the spawn of Satan and the only way to redeem herself is to go out and kill every vamp she comes in contact with. She becames a vampire assassin, that is until she meets a freaking hotty name Bones and he teaches her that not all vampires are bad (heck even if they were, I would turn to the dark side...I hear they have cookies) without giving too much away, she still tracks and kills rogue vamps set on killing off mankind. These books have it all, they are fun, sexy...the next book comes out August 2011 and can't wait. Check them out, let me know what you think and we can talk book!

                  Tammi, Jace Everett, Me and Bridget on Saint Patricks Day!

In case you didn't know, Jace sings "I want to do bad things with you" for the Hit HBO show "True Blood". Yes that is me with his bumpersticker on my chest lol. And being the true nerd that I am I had to ask if he knew Charlaine Harris...I love the Sookie Stackhouse Series!! He said he did (OMG) and well like true nerd form I asked if that is why she put him in her last book "Dead in the Family" and he said, "Nah she is just a really big sweet heart"! Awww I love her! Not really a fan of the show but I love the song and I probably would of loved the show but I fell in love with the books and the series doesn't follow the book like I think it should! And of course I had in mind what the characters would look like and well HBO got it all wrong lol, in my highly important opinion obviously thats why HBO asked me! No they didn't but umm they should have :p
