I cried. I went through so many different and strong emotions reading this story. There was so much that I loved about it. I throughly enjoyed the historical connection of Vanda's past with WWII and the Nazis. She is my hero, I wish that there truely was a vampire who sent from camp to camp liberating the victims and killing the Germans. I knew from previous books that Vanda had a darker past then the other harem girls. I knew her story was going to be good but it was so much better then expected. I am a huge Were fan so it was exciting to see more introduced.And look forward to seeing that grow. I smiled, Sparks was able to throw in a few light hearted moments to help brighten the mood but for the most part I feel like this story is on a different level then the others.

Finished this Saturday! This is the 3rd book in the Love At Stake series and I am seriously hooked! I like that the author is keeping you clued in with all the love lives of the past characters as well as giving more incite to the secondary characters and getting me excited about their books. Angus and Emma are Scottish so I can't help but hear Shrek's voice in my head while reading. Emma is very kick ass she's former MI6 and CIA. I like herioines that don't need to be saved. There was a lot of action and humor in this book. The title and cover don't give it justice. At first glance I thought that this would be a sappy twilightish novel but it's definately anything but.

There is a reason why I read series books. It gives the author a chance to redeem themselves if the first book fell short. The first time I met Sophie Katz I could not stand her. I thought she was a selfish, alcoholic and I wanted her to get punched in the face. BUT these last few books she has really grown on me. I see her now is funny, insecure, impulsive, but still an alcoholic. But I'm drawn to her and can't wait for the next book in the series to come out. In this book Anatoly's past comes back to haunt him and Sophie is caught in the cross fire. After finding out from Pyscho Fawn that her long time boyfriend is married, Sophie goes to Las Vegas with Dena and Marcus to try and clear her head and have a good time. What she gets is a dead body and a a world of trouble. Between the Russian Mafia, Shape Shifting Penises, and a kick ass Dena this book kept me laughing and excited the entire way through.

My favorite Sophie book so far! This book was very fast paced and kept you guessing until the end. Sophie's BFF Dena is shot in the back by an unknown assaliant. Sophie being true to her dumbassness believes she can locate the killer before the police. So as usual she forces her PI boyfriend to assist her yet holds back important information and puts herself in danger. I'll be honest I don't read these books for Sophie or her complicated and toxic relationship. I read it for her friends! I love Mary Ann's innocence and Leah's Obsessive Compulsive Need to be the best at everything. I love Marcus and his fabulousness and Jason Beck's eccentric yet loving personality. If I had a man who was as supportive and enthusastic as Jason I would cast a blind eye to his desire to be a vamprie. Then Dena, I wish I could be as powerful and honest as her. She seems like the type of chick I could roll with. Cudos to Kyra Davis Can't wait to read the next in the series.

OMG this book was HILARIOUS!!! Imagine a reality tv show for vampires?! It definately was more Rock of Love then The Bachalor. This was a fun quick read. Again lots of sexual innuendos. Certian contestants definately had me cheering for them. I mean seriously who doesn't love a sexy russian who speaks in third person and flexes every chance he gets. There was a nice twist between the love birds in the ending that I've never seen before. I definately recommend this to anyone that has a love for reality tv, vampires, and Magic Mike.

Finished book 2 in the Sophie Katz series and I can honestly say I liked it 10x more then the first one. I still can't stand Sophie and I'm not sure how or why other people refer to her as lovable. She's an alcoholic who makes bad decisions and gives bad advice. But this book focused on her sister being blamed for the murder of her unfaithful prick husband. There was also a lot of race talk. Being bi-racial I was able to relate to the positive and negative sterotyping in this book. Looking forward to reading book three. Still waiting for Sophie to get punched in the face.

Finally I am falling in love with this series and Sophie. There were so many suspects I couldn't pin point the bad guy or guy(s) until the author did her big reveal. Love the dynamic of the Katz family and really felt for the trama that all the characters expereienced. This was heavier then they other books. Sophie was still stubborn and did stupid things but noting to the point where you wanted to slap her. Her relationship is progressing at a believable rate and all together it was just a good read. I'm so glad that Jason Beck is back and we are seeing real emotions from secondary characters as well.
