Shanna Whelan is a dentist whose life has turned upside down. After surviving a massacre by the Russian mafia, Shanna testified against them. Yet even the Witness Protection could not keep her safe afterward because those hunting her are vampires. Ivan Petrovsky is a Russian vampire determined to collect the bounty on Shanna's life. When Shanna is rescued by his nemesis, Roman, it becomes personal.

Roman Draganesti is the CEO of Romatech Industries. He is the creator of synthetic blood which has saved the lives of mortals around the globe. Unknown to mortals, he is also the master of the largest coven in North America and the synthetic blood is used by vampires so they have no need to bite mortals any longer. Roman's group is looking for ways to help mortals and vampires co-exist. So far, mortals are still unaware that vampires are real. It would be nice to keep it that way as long as possible. When Roman loses one of his fangs due to sinking his teeth into something he should not have, he goes to the only dental clinic open during the night. He finds the dentist fighting for her life and rescues her. But once Shanna fixes Roman's fang, how can she be sure her life will not be forfeit?

Update 3rd March 2006:
Oh what a spicy mix of good vampires, bad vampires, and the mortals who help them. I found this story very entertaining and grinned & giggled my way through it :)

I offer the sequel Vamps and the City as an European BookRing. If you are interested please PM me :-)

Some guidelines:
1. Please journal the book when it arrives (so we know it's safe and sound with you), once you read it (to let us know how you liked it) and when you ship it off (so we know it's on its way to the next reader).

2. Please PM the next person in line before shipping the book off, not only for the adress, but also to ask if they are still interested in the ray!

3. Try not to take longer than 4 to 6 weeks to read the book. But we all understand that sometimes life (and bookrings...) just happens. :-) In that case, please make another journal entry to let us know that the book is not forgotten.

4. Surface shipping is perfectly acceptable.

5. And the most important thing: Have fun!

Thank you Rianonne! I've been wondering about this book for awhile, it kept popping up on my amazon recommendations. (I wonder why that was? LOL) I'm very much looking forward to read it, especially after you liked it so much! :-) However, due to an accute "bookring jam" it'll have to wait a little while until I get to it.

What a fun read! I giggled a lot as well! Alone the Highlanders were wonderful! Love the accent, I could really hear it in my head! There were some hilarious ideas, take alone Chocolood! Just fabulous.
I also kept thinking about this movie title, I believe it was "The 40 year old virgin". If you think that's old for a virgin, think again... LOL
Of course there has to be a sequel to the story, I mean with that cliffhanger in the end? :-)
Thanks for sharing Rianonne! The book will continue its journey within Switzerland soon.

RELEASE NOTES:

On the way to penelopewanders. :-) Enjoy!

This book has arrived safely in the Swiss alps... I'll read it and send it on to Joasik. Thanks so much for setting up this ring! Holidays are coming up so I look forward to having some more reading time.

Soo... I enjoyed this, but not as much as the dark hunters, for example. It was fun, light entertainment, but a bit too light for my taste just now. Thanks so much for letting me discover this author, though. This book will travel from Mallorca to Holland next week, hopefully.

RELEASE NOTES:

This book ring is now travelling from Mallorca to Holland... enjoy, Joasik!

Just received this bookring - thanks for including me!

RELEASE NOTES:

RELEASE NOTES:

EnJoy reading this book as I did.

Well, the book has arrived in Gauting...
shouldn't be too long before I can start this one!

Thanks for the ring!

Yes, I liked that ;-)
New faces, new story, new ideas (who thought that too much Chocolood makes fat!! :-))..and fun to read..
I'm thinking of joining the sequel-ring as well...

But right now I asked Sascha for her address...

RELEASE NOTES:

Off it went today...

Have fun!

The book arrived save and sound.

This was not my kind of Vampire story. A lot of great ideas but in the end more romance than suspense, and romance is a genre I don't like that much. Roman was to good to be true, and Shanna being more upset about his 'harem' than about his true nature is just the kind of thing that keeps me away from romance. Things like: 'He may be a monster, but at least he loves me, and nobody else.' or 'I know he must be good, I love him!' It is not that bad here, but still it puts me off.

Angekommen! Hab noch ein Buch zu lesen, aber dann ist es dran. Danke schonmal!

The book has arrived, thanks a lot!

Das war doch mal eine ideale Urlaubslektüre! Sehr vergnüglich mit absurden Einfällen und einer ordentlichen Portion Erotik.

Eine ausführlichere Rezension gibt es in meinem Blog.

The ideal book for a sunny beach holiday (thanks to Romatech Industries). Witty dialogue, very likeable characters and funny ideas make it a fun read despite all cliché.

Auf dem Weg zu meryl662001.
