How To Marry A Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake, #1)

One of my favorite stories!

Roman Draganesti is a brilliant scientist and the inventor of synthetic blood. He is also a vampire and the inventor of Fusion Cuisine, flavored blood for vampires. When he loses a fang testing a Vampire Artificial Nutrition Needs Appliance, he has until morning to find a dentist and have it fixed. Shanna Whelan is a dentist but there’s no way she’s putting that “animal” tooth in Roman’s lovely smile. Shanna is also in hiding from the Russian Mafia. Now the Russians have sent in a vampire assassin to find her and eliminate her and the only one who can protect her is another vampire.

I know what you are thinking. A story about a vampire and a dentist!! Really?? I said the same thing, but I kept coming back to it and wondering how a story like that was going to play out. I’m so glad I finally gave in. This is one of the series which I enjoy the most. This book, in particular, is still on the top of my favorite all time stories. Kerrelyn Sparks writes her stories with such witty and sexy banter between her characters. I can’t help but laugh throughout this series.

I just so enjoy Roman and Shanna and I am especially happy that they show up frequently throughout the series. Roman is the owner of Romatech, the laboratory that produces the synthetic blood, and employs most of the other characters that we meet throughout the series. He is also the Coven Master of the Eastern United States.

My one pet peeve, which was corrected with the next story, Vamps and the City, was the “harem” which Roman keeps as Coven Master. All these women are sitting around wearing the clothing of the time period which was in fashion when they were changed into vampires. Like there is any way a vampire could blend in and survive in the ever changing society when still walking around dressed like Scarlett O’Hara. Thankfully, they were modernized in the next story to blend in with society at large. So don’t let that distract you from the overall story.

Oh -- since I work in White Plains, NY, I am narrowing down the secret location of Romatech Laboratories, and will let you know when I find it.
