The fourth book in the sexy, "hilariously fun," (Romantic Times"Top Pick") romantic comedy series about a children's librarian turned vampire-perfect for fans of Katie Macalister and MaryJanice Davidson.
WITH THIS RING, I THEE DEAD...
Just as Jane Jameson's unlife seems to be stabilizing, fate sinks its fangs firmly into her butt. Despite her near-phobia of wedding planning, her no-frills nighttime nuptials to her sexy boyfriend, Gabriel, are coming along smoothly. That is, until she turns a fatally wounded teenage acquaintance, and the Council pronounces her responsible for the newborn vamp until he can control his thirst.
Jane's kitchen barely holds enough Faux Type O to satiate the cute teen's appetite and maintain Gabriel's jealous streak at a slow simmer. As if keeping her hyperactive childe from sucking the blood out of the entire neighborhood isn't enough to deal with, the persnickety ghost of Jane's newly deceased grandma Ruthie has declared war on the fanged residents of River Oaks. Suddenly choosing monogrammed cocktail napkins and a cake she can't even eat seem downright relaxing in comparison.
Tensions inside the house are growing...and outside, a sinister force is aiming a stake straight for the center of Gabriel's heart. Most brides just have to worry about choosing the right dress, but Jane fears that at this rate, she'll never make it down the aisle for the wedding all nice girls dream of...
In this instalment, Gabriel and Jane are finally gong to get married, but we all know that there has to be some kind of shenanigans, right?
There were a few twists and turns that made me snicker, because I didn't see it coming. However, this series keeps having just too much drama for me to give it more stars. I get that relationship drama, as well as outside drama can move the story forward, however, there are so many great characters in this series that it wouldn't be absolutely necessary. Andrea and Dick are excellent friends to both Jane and Gabriel, as are Jolene and Zeb, so there are enough story to move things forward without falling back on plot driven drama in each installment.
It's like when I start a 'Jane' book, I know someone is going to try to kill either her or someone she loves, she'll get in trouble with the vampire council, and her mom will meddle.
That being said, there are a lot of funny lines, and I love Jane's sense of humour, so I certainly will continue to buy and read this series in the future.
