Book Summary:
Amelia Collins is a dedicated and hardworking woman who loves her job. Unfortunately, her family is convinced that a happy job isn’t enough in life and thus keeps trying to force relationships on her.
That’s why she’s bringing a fake date to the next family wedding. It totally doesn’t have anything to do with how attractive her fake date, Reginald Cleaves, is. Though she’ll admit that there is something oddly compelling about the man.
My Review:
So, I did it again. I picked a book through a book box (Aardvark) without realizing that it was a sequel. Oops. The good news is that I can officially say that you can dive right into My Vampire Plus-One without feeling like you're missing a whole lot.
The premise of this one should feel pretty familiar, as it combines a few tropes: an immortal man falling in love with a mortal, a fake date, and forced proximity. Also, there is family drama, but that's more of a bonus.
It's a decent read overall. It's not the deepest romance, but it is cute and funny. My one complaint is that they kept telling us that Amelia didn't need love to feel happy and fulfilled…only for her to fall in love and feel happy/fulfilled. I know it's a romantic trope, but it felt a bit belittling.
Read My Vampire Plus-One if you want a vampire romance with multiple perspectives and plenty of drama.
