Single White Vampire by Lynsay Sands
3.0

Reclusive vampire writing his families' histories (and HEAs) turned into inadvertent romance author finds his new editor on his doorstep. After ignoring all of her emails begging him to consider a book tour or even an interview, Kate is ready to use her charm, in person, to woo the author who is sure to secure her place in her publishing company.

He's a grump, she's persistent. There's a wedding, the family seems to all be allergic to the sun, and wait why is Lucern's head covered in blood?

Finally convincing Lucern after some major sexual tension to attend the RT (romantic times, RIP) Convention, Kate considers this a win. But major debacles await, including the fact Kate and Lucern cannot seem to keep their hands (or his teeth) off each other.

But once Kate discovers Lucern's vampires are so realistic because he is, in fact, one himself, will she be willing to give up everything to be his wife?

What a ride. This was truly ridiculous, but so fun. The best part was that Lucern is never mocking of the romance genre, even if he doesn't like "forward modern women." I also loved that while he was an old vampire, Lucern is quite awkward, not always super smooth, and is a big ol' mama's boy. LOL. Not your typical alpha vamp here.

ALSO - wtf they are from Atlantis and their blood is full of nanobots and that is why they are vamps?! I wasn't expecting that at all, so good job Sands.

There was a weird moment when Lucern is trying to feed of Kate's male coworker (homosexual is used), and some other outdated gender stuff, but overall I had a great time reading this.

I do have to say, what the heck was up with the rando who showed up and staked Lucern in the hotel room, who they kill, and then he just kind of disappears from the plot???? Okay...

Fun times.
