Blurb:
Roundhouse
Publishing editor Kate C. Leever's first letter to her new author was
meant to impress upon him the growing demand for vampire romances.
And even though he'd expressed little-to-no desire for any publicity,
book tours, or similar, it was clear this was an author just waiting
to be broken out - despite himself, if necessary.
When
she suggested attending a romance convention his response - unusually
quick to arrive - was succinct: 'No.'
But
Kate was adamant: Mr Lucern Argeneau was going to attend a romance
convention and meet his fans. By hook or by crook, despite his
reclusive nature and odd sleep patterns, the surly yet handsome
author would attend. And she was sure that, once there, he would
reveal himself to be a true charmer.
Of
course, that was before she realised that his 'romances' were more
like biographies, and it's literally her neck on the line...
My
thoughts:
I
have reached that conclusion before, but funny pnr still works for
me! Why? Well it doesn't take itself so seriously. You know the epic.
"OMG we are soulmates, but alas I am betrothed to the evil witch
queen of Agrabad and you are only a human. But we shall be together,
and do it like 100 times a day. This I promise thee my tasty human."
So, this was not that. There was no instalove. She found him So
annoying. He just thought she might be tasty to drink. There wasn't
even any instamating. Sure, he could not hear her thoughts, but that
does not mean she was the only person in the world this would be true
for.
The
story is about Luc, a "vampire" (ok so he is not really a
vamp, he is Atlantian and the nanos inside him makes him live longer,
heal fast, and he needs blood for them to work.) He is a romance
writer (he wrote biographies ;). His editor Kate is hounding him to
go to anything really to meet his fans. So he will. And they will
fall in love and live happily ever after.
I
do like the humour. It made me giggle.

I think I tried this one and DNFed it. I'm pretty sure it almost drove me insane actually. Have a lovely Thursday :).
