Synopsis
All Joy Randall wants
is a little old-fashioned romance, but when she participates in a
"Goddess evoking" ceremony with her friend, Roxy, Joy finds out her
future true love is a man with the potential to put her immortal soul in
danger. At first the ever-practical Joy is ready to dismiss her vision
as a product of too much gin and too many vampire romances, but while
traveling through the Czech Republic with Roxy, Joy begins to have some
second thoughts about her mystery lover because she is suddenly plagued
by visions of a lethally handsome stranger. Then, when she and Roxy
attend a local GothFaire, Joy meets Raphael Griffin St. John, head of
security, and she becomes even more bewildered because the dark and
dangerous Raphael seems too close to her dreams for comfort.

Author Bio
For as long as she can remember,
Katie MacAlister has loved reading. Growing up in a family where a
weekly visit to the library was a given, Katie spent much of her time
with her nose buried in a book. Despite her love for novels, she didn't
think of writing them until she was contracted to write a non-fiction
book about software. Since her editor refused to allow her to include
either witty dialogue or love scenes in the software book, Katie swiftly
resolved to switch to fiction, where she could indulge in world
building, tormenting characters, and falling madly in love with all her
heroes.
Two years after she started writing novels, Katie sold
her first romance, Noble Intentions. More than thirty books followed
during the years after Noble's publication. Her novels have been
translated into numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks,
received several awards, and placed on the New York Times, USA Today,
and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young
adult audience as Katie Maxwell, and for the mystery world as Kate
Marsh.

Review
Katie MacAlister is one of
my fave authors. She wrote one of my fave series, the Dark Ones AND she
wrote one of my fave books, A Girl's Guide to Vampires!
She has a
certain style that makes me not want to ever put her book down, nor
finish it. This particular series and book, are about vampires. She took
the vampire lore and modified it a teensy bit. I LOVED it! And not just
because she placed it in a country where I've got some roots from.
Our
heroine, Joy Randall and her crazy BFF - gotta love a crazy BFF - are
traveling to Europe. They end up in the Czech Republic, where she meets
not one hot man, but TWO! One of them happens to be the famous author of
vampire novels, Christian Dante. The other is Raphael Griffin St. John,
a swoon-worthy man and hero! And really, he IS a hero.
I can't
tell you how much I loved it and really, I highly recommend it! If you
love funny and quirky, take-no-crap heroines,
vampire-romance-novel-obsessed BFFs, a possessive big hunk o' man and a
sexy vampire that just doesn't have 'no' in his vocabulary, along with a
storyline with plots and twists you don't see coming, then this book is
for you. Katie is for you.
