I really enjoyed this short story and am looking forward to reading The Next Best Thing. It's about a women who is relatable and struggling with self discovery and lonliness. Jennifer Weiner does a great job making her characters relatable to an imperfect reader. I would suggest this to any women who hasn't always felt comfortable in her own skin.

At first I was a little unhappy with the fact that this book was about Jack. Up until now he has been in less then 10 pages spread across multiple books. We didn't really know much about him and other vampires had peeked my interest more. But I was pleseantly surprised about how much I enjoyed this story. I didn't finish with the "This is the greatest book ever" feeling but I really enjoyed it. I mean by the third page I was laughing so hard and loud a few people checked on me to make sure I was okay.

Jack is in town for Ian's wedding festivites. After a rawdy bachalor party which included sex toys and lots of blissky, the police are called.Introducing our heroine Lara. Jack immediatly realizes she's special (something reminisent from the first book in the series) and can't get her out of his mind and vice versa for her.

This book was extremely comical and introduced new elements to the series. I really enjoyed Lara's back story and her BFF LaToya. I like that the writer can give life to black characters without being sterotypical or offensive. Really happy that I stumbled across this series and will continue to read.

Everytime I finish a book in this series I think to myself this is my new favorite. Ian's story made me think of the movie Ed TV.(If you haven't watched it please do it's a funny romatnic comedy with Matthew McConaughey. And that's who I picture as Ian.) Ian returns to NY 12 years older looking for true love. Ex Harem member and uber protective goth vamp Vanda helps by putting him on a dating website. Within 24 hours Ian is the man of the hour and women/men all over the tri-state area vamp and mortal want a piece of him. Toni is the first ever female guard ever to be employed by MacKay Securities and love is definately not on her to do list. Despite the obvious chemistry with Ian. She tries hard to go about doing her job and focusing on her own life goals. I liked this book for a lot of reasons. 1-She knew about vampires so there was no inner struggle of acceptence, 2-There was action and an unlikely hero, 3-We are learning more and more about the secondary characters. I absolutely love Dr. Phang aka Phineas!
