I learned from this books that I cannot stand vampire fluff. I thought since I enjoy MaryJanice Davidson that I would enjoy Erin's books, but I'm thinkin' no. Her characters tend to over react and scream at each other. I feel like I'm watching Pokemon when I read this book. From now on I will have to be picky with my vampire romance.

I downloaded this book and I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I'm missing the 2nd half of the book because it just stops... I'm really confused and will have to get to the bottom of this. Challenge accepted.

Wow...what to say about this book. Reading just the first few pages, I was laughing at the HORRIBLE writing... it was like reading something that a middle school student would write. But I kept reading and forced my way through the first few chapters. After a while, I started to enjoy the story. It was kind of fun. Yet, the writing was so bad that I felt kind of guilty reading it when there are so many good books out there! Also, I'm not one to read romance novels and this was a "paranormal roma...

Alexis has come to Ethan Carrick's casino to pry her sister from his life. Her sister, Brittany, has left her career and home to come be his arm candy. Alexia knows that he has brainwashed her sister, so she's ready to do anything necessary to remove her. That includes acting in a manner that would get most people arrested. That right there is when I started to get a bad feeling about this book. Alexis is some awesome prosecuting attorney, but she barges into the situation with the subtlety of a...

I had been putting off reading this book for no specific reason and chose it for a monthly reading challenge. I'm glad I did b/c it was a light, easy, sometimes funny read. Good vamp fluff to break up the "tougher" reads. I'll definitely check out book 2 at some point.

This book I already read in the past from the library, but I wanted to have it myself too and that is why I ordered and read it again.Alexis is used to protecting her sister. That is why she takes her place next to Ethan. That she feels attracted to him, has nothing to do with it. By the way he is a bit crazy, because he pretends to be a vampire. Till she finds out that he really is a vampire.At that point she still doesn’t now what to do with the attraction between them. For the answer on what

I really enjoyed this book. I laughed out loud and did a lot of smiliing. It was a light, sexy read that I looked forward to picking up. I loved Ethan and Alexis, both were witty, while one was charming the other was a smart ass and it worked. yYou'll love the chemistry between the two. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book, it's hot, it's charming and it's funny. Enjoy, I sure did.Highly Recommend!!!

This review was posted at Under the CoversI've been wanting to read this series for quite some time now, mainly because I looooooove Erin McCarthy's writing in her contemporary stuff and this one looks like fun. And it was fun. Just not exactly what I expected, maybe?So we have Ethan Carrick who is the head of the vampire council and running for re-election. He's campaign manager recommended that he should get married and settle down in order to give a good image while running for re-election. A...

Um, I'm not sure what to make of this. I was expecting better? I didn't think the characters were strong at all. I felt almost no chemistry between Ethan and Alexis. Sure, there were some sparks, but I think Alexis flies way off the handle a little too much for my taste. I didn't feel a dept to the characters as I was expecting. I thought the plot weak. Other than getting Alexis to fall for Ethan and winning the election, I didn't really see much of a story here. There were a few action scenes t...

The heroine may be short and she may be a bit chubby but goddamn it she is a feisty woman with the tenacity of a pit-bull, especially when it comes to protecting her baby sister. So when her naïve and innocent little sis gets wrapped up with rich playboy types in Las Vegas, the heroine has no hesitation storming the gates. She demands to see her sister, threatening to kick ass if anyone tries to stop her. When she meets the hero, her sisters 'boyfriend' she is immediately struck by how much she

Cotton candy - cute, fluffy, sweet, and mostly air. But, I went in to this book expecting that, so I have no complaints. I like cotton candy! I just don't happen to like going to any of the places where cotton candy lives like crowded fairs, crowded zoos, crowded amusement parks.... Hmm, I guess wherever you see a crowd - cotton candy will be there. Yes, cotton candy. I love you, cotton candy!I found this book when browsing Listopia for funny paranormal reads, and I got what I came for: funny ch...

~* 3.5 Stars *~Erin McCarthy's Vegas Vampire series opener, High Stakes, is one of those light, funny vamp romances that can be gulped down in large bites and leave you feeling a little happier for it. It's been described as Vamp Chick-Lit and that just about sums it up.And there's nothing wrong with that! I strongly believe that reaction to this book in particular, and probably the series in general, will entirely depend on what you're looking for when you pick it up. Personally, I just spent s...

This is a fun read. Not meant to be particularly serious. The characters are very exaggerated, but that's what makes it so funny. Ethan, president of the vampire nation, is looking for a wife before the upcoming election. He has chosen Brittany, but her protective sister Alexis steps in. The sparks fly right away between the two, though Alexis is the exact opposite of what he is looking for in a wife. A funny, steamy book, with just the right amount of surprising twists to keep things interestin...

Ethan may be the current head of the Vampire Council but he's up for reelection and unless he does something about his image he may not be reelected. So when his advisors recommend he chooses a woman and settle down he reluctantly agrees. Brittany is perfect, she's sweet, kind and she also happens to be a half-vampire, not that she knows it. It's an easy thing for Ethan to use mind control to convince her to move into his casino hotel with him and even if he's not actually attracted to her at le...

I could only give this 3 stars. While I love vampire books, this one was a bit on the fluffy side for my tastes. Overall, entertaining and I liked Alexis.

This book was a really fun, light read. I loved the character's rapport with one another, and I found myself laughing out loud at some of the witty conversations they had with one another. Plus, I really liked the way the hero and heroine came to trust, like and then love one another. I found myself caring about them and the outcome of their romance.I really like(love) a deep, dark vampire romances...this is not one of those books. But, I liked the sweetness about it, and the ease that Erin brou...

i friggin loved this book it was so funny and loved all the character's fabulous story line some hot sexy scene's and wonderful connection and relationship between the two main character's and loved their casual jokey attitude as well as feisty passion for each other fabulous.can@t wait to read the next few in the series but not on kindle so awaiting the books :-( i am spoilt with my one touch kindle books hehe xxx

I liked this book. The idea of vampires in Vegas is intriguing since I live in Vegas and I could see how it would be the perfect city for them to inhabit. Alexis was a bit strong, but weighed out by Ethan's cool demenour. They were fun to read about and the idea of vampire politics was interesting. Alexis' sister Brittany grated on my nerves a bit. She seemed too dimwitted instead of innocent for my tastes. Overall a great read.

A brainless read. I only read it because I knew I could finish it in one day. That's a sad reason to read a book, now that I'm actually acknowledging it. Oh well.

I really liked this book because it was fast paced and made me laugh out loud.Alexis is a feisty woman who gets and does what she wants.Ethan is vampire who is almost a thousand years old and has never fallen in love or met the "one" for him.This is a fast paced love story that has the couple in love and wed in a matter of weeks. Believable? No... but hey it's a vampire romance book for crying out loud.I really liked the book and will continue on with the series.
