Vamps and the City (Love at Stake, Book 2)
That was my specialty, and I would be delighted to - ". And I was thinking about hiring you, but you turned out to be a woman. We can't have females doing it.
by Kerrelyn Sparks
This was it - the impenetrable wall of male vampire chauvinism, and once more, she'd slammed right into it. If only she could take a sledgehammer to it. Or a baseball bat to Mr. I used to write my own - ". Finding someone with intelligence and experience to work behind the scenes is a major problem. Bacchus stood and wandered toward a dry-erase board on the wall. We start at eight o'clock with the Nightly News with Stone Cauffyn.
Then, at eight-thirty, it's Live with the Undead, our celebrity gossip magazine. Roman had okayed it, as long as no mortal ever saw her. Bacchus watched her, scratching his beard. Bacchus's heated gaze wandered over her body. Clearly, her non-writing abilities were being reassessed. But what happens at midnight? By then, she was usually at Romatech, immersed to her ears in boring paperwork. The midnight hour should be our greatest show ever, the piece de resistance. Darcy took a deep breath.
This was her chance to show her true worth. Bacchus paced behind his desk. We could call it Blood and Disorder. That would be different. What do you think we should do? She racked her brain. What had been the rage before her world had fallen apart? He whirled around to face her. What could be more real than vampires? But what would be the premise? Her mind went completely blank. She sat in a chair and arranged her portfolio across her lap to buy herself some time. The harem's new dilemma?

Hey, wasn't Draganesti's harem just kicked out? Corky did a feature about it on Live with the Undead. It was too humiliating. Bacchus's mouth twisted with a knowing smirk. You know, one of those glitzy ones with a swimming pool on the roof. Bacchus waved a hand to shut her up. If you can get us a fancy location and guarantee that Draganesti's old harem will participate, then you've got a job. Director of a reality show? She could handle this. It was this or nothing.
I'll have an office ready for you tomorrow night. What do you want to call the show? Her mind raced, searching for a pithy title. Bacchus perched on the corner of his desk and scratched at his beard. Or The Perfect Master? Let the hunt begin A string of mysterious deaths. A chief ranger determined to find the killer. A mystery deep in Yellowstone National Park. Half-breed agent seeks gorgeous male witch to partner with. Warlocks need not apply. Exceptions may be made for the ridiculously handsome.

But, Darcy was scared that she would not only bite him 1 day but possibly kill him too; so she backed off of their relationship. But, in order to find out what that is you'll read to read this book for yourselves. One person found this helpful. A while ago, when I was searching for simply Vampire Romance novels I bought this. I realize that is extremely picky so I settle for what the Goddess directs me towards.
I prefer to focus on what I enjoy and want more of Vamps and the City by Keerelyn Sparks, is rather generic for vampire romance but it is positive and uplifting, so I was happy to read it; And for having purchased it. The world seems to be set in modern times but Ms.
Sparks does very little to flesh out the world past it having vampires. The vampires themselves are somewhat rigidly set according to the fictional rules set by Stoker's Dracula. Authors that create seemingly unique cryptology for vampires for their stories I find more interesting. Of course, very little is actually unique; Though a great deal is unique enough to my finite experience. The vampyres in this novel follow all the old rules except being soulless and having to kill their victims.
The antagonists are members of a black budget CIA covert affairs group that call themselves "Stake Out". Their motto is "the only good vampyre is a dead one". This being a romance story, of course there is more to the story. Except not much more.
After finishing with reading the novel I realized that this is a second book in a series. So it is useful to note it is an abundantly self-contained story. Overly-so in my humble opinion; I was hoping for a story or two continuing Darcy and Austin's life. Though I am also grateful there is not for reasons that I should leave vague. The problem is a seemingly contrived and forced scene between Austin and Darcy that results in an unfortunate condition, unfortunate for my interest in a continnuing story that is.
And a second situation where 'friends' turn into brain dead idiots for purpose of moving the story a specific way. Writing a romance novel is something I have been researching. I understand the angst is part of a good romance story. However, this story goes beyond the pale with it.
Sparks can even feel it because she left the happy-happy-joy-joy sex that typically in the fourth act, in the third act. It is extremely disoncerting to go backwards from reading declarations of unending everlasting love to more angst 'ohnoicant'. As I said, the novel is positive and hopeful so it is a fun and joyful read. Though perhaps I should focus on finding other stories from other authors and let Ms. Sparks advance a bit more. Of course, it is far easier to critique than to create so I am far from intending any conceited superiority from me.
I just know a few things on what I like. Weaker book than book one but this one was hysterical twist on how vampire would live life if they lived in today's world. This books theme vampire reality T V version of the Bachlor ets! Writer takes abit of do not let something stand in the way of a good story at time. Which derails reader from story Am I picky yes I am reading to get lost in the world you weave..
So when bad curve ball leave a reader thinking this made no sense.. Do love some the one liners Interesting idea on the use of blocking scent of humans so vampires can not tell human from vamp. Also just like people some Vampires get stuck in how the dress and act from there time period. An you think grannies who dress bad is wrong See all reviews.
