Bit the Jackpot
Erin McCarthy
Berkley, Nov 2006, $14.00
ISBN 0425212134
In Las Vegas where vampires and other paranormal species reside, the rarest species is Cara Kim, a virgin stripper. Over three centuries old Seamus Fox is the campaign manager for the reelection of Ethan Carrick as president of the Vampire Nation, but an ugly incident has brought Cara to his attention. Ethan’s opponent Roberto Donatelli caused a fracas that left Cara’s life in danger as he does not care what happens to the inferior mortals and she is collateral damage.
Seamus converts Cara to save her life. However, he is shocked how attractive he is to her, but assumes she heats his blood because he has abstained from sex for two hundred years. On the other hand, Cara struggles with this alpha hunk ordering her and her five pets around though she would not mind taking a bite or two from him. As they fall in love, Roberto raises the stakes planning to use the new born conversion as a pawn to eliminate Seamus.
Vampire romance readers will feel they BIT THE JACKPOT with this fun contemporary tale. The background contains a biting “political” campaign in which one side uses bloody tricks that would have sent Lee Atwater roving for a different job. Throw in Vegas and a likable pairing of an abstemious vampire and a newbie and that leads to a delightful read.
