Single White Vampire (#1)

Publisher's Weekly
Readers weary of the tortured, brooding, all-too-serious vampires that often populate paranormal romance novels will appreciate Sands's (The Loving Daylights, etc.) cheeky, madcap tale about an immortal who finds eternal happiness with his editor. Reclusive Lucern Argeneau, a family biographer who has been classified as a paranormal romance author, is stunned when Kate C. Leever, his new editor at Roundhouse Publishing (read: Dorchester), shows up on his doorstep demanding he make a public appearance to appease his fans. After some urging from the beguiling Kate, he agrees to go to the Romantic Times convention, little knowing that he'll have to contend with adoring fans and a week full of parties and signings. Some of the plot twists verge on the absurd-such as when Luc's codpiece sticks to a tablecloth at a Renaissance ball, or when Kate fells an attacker with a pillow-and Kate's reluctance to admit her feelings for Luc because she assumes she's "just supper" to him is aggravating. Still, vampire lovers will find themselves laughing throughout. (Sept.) Forecast: This is the first in a series of comic "bloodsucker stories" from Love Spell. Though the title alone will pique readers' curiosity, the book will receive an additional boost at the Romantic Times national convention, where Love Spell will promote the series with a paranormal launch party.

Excellent light slightly erotic romance. Amusing. A quick enjoyable read you wont want to put down. First in the series, sets it up very well. Not dark at all, despite the Vampire in the title. Maybe just a bit long for the depth of the story, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
This book is going to be part of a book ring with the other two in the series:

Received directly from my girl NeedSun at the 2006 BC Convention in Toronto. Thanks hon! :-)
Ha! I've been waiting for a Swiss Vampire! (o.k., if he's really Swiss is open to interpretation, but hey! The guys name is Lucern!)
That was a fun, fluffy read, I enjoyed it very much! There were some hilarious scenes, my favourite being the one with the condoms... ROFL I think that was the funniest erotic scene I've ever read.
LOVED the references to Buffy and Angel!
Thanks for sharing NeedSun. This book will continue its travels to Rianonne in Austria in the near future.

I enjoyed the book a lot! It was such a fun read and I had to laugh a lot - especially the scene with the condoms *grinningagain*
But, yes there is a but, it was more of a romance than a vampire novel for my liking ...
Still, I liked Sand's explanation for vampirism which is a nice change, and look forward to reading the sequel!!
It will travel with "Love Bites" to nikel27.
