Just as Jane Jameson’s unlife seems to be stabilizing, fate sinks its fangs firmly into her butt. Despite her near-phobia of all things marital, her no-frills nighttime nuptials to her sexy boyfriend Gabriel are coming along smoothly. But the road to wedded bliss gets bumpy when a teenage acquaintance is fatally wounded in front of Jane’s shop and she turns him to save his life. The Council pronounces Jane responsible for the newborn vamp until he can control his thirst.
Jane’s kitchen at River Oaks 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 a war on the fanged residents of River Oaks. Suddenly,
choosing monogrammed cocktail napkins and a cake that she can’t eat seems 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…
I loved the first three Jane Jameson books, so I was extremely happy to see a new addition to the series come out. Once I started reading, I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed.
Jane is finally settling into a normal routine with her vampire life. Gabriel has moved into her home, River Oaks, she has her fabulous friends and her book shop, and her relationship with her mother and sister is in the best place it’s ever been. Add in the fact that she finally said yes to Gabriel’s marriage proposal and she should be on top of the world. Unfortunately with Jane, that never seems to happen.
Jane soon finds herself the sire to young Jamie Lanier, who was fatally wounded when a runaway car hit him before barreling into Jane’s car. As his sire, she now finds herself mothering a teenage vampire while trying to deal with her Grandma Ruthie haunting her in hopes of getting her out of River Oaks and her mother going overboard planning a wedding.
There are many laugh out loud moments in this one. You feel like such a part of this group that you can’t help but laugh when Dick makes some snarky comment about Jane and Gabriel or Jane gets a dig into her mother or sister. What made this even better was the fact that Jane and Gabriel’s relationship was on solid ground. Together they make everything better.
If you haven’t ready the previous three books, definitely do it before you pick this one up. But if you want a paranormal book that is fun and will having you laughing at and along with a group of fabulous characters, this is definitely grab the series.
