Cute ( )

I just love Broken Heart series. "Wait Till Your Vampire Gets Home" was action packed right from the get go and funny as can be. We are getting to know the charters a little better in each book and new paranormal creatures are showing up.
I could not stop laughing when Libby meet Queen Patsy and tried to say the greeting that Patrick told her to say "most royal grand potentate." She just keepet stumbling over the words. ( )

This was just not my favorite one of the bunch. Too quick of a lust match, too easy. ( )

My biggest complaint about these is they read like romance novels. This concern was exacerbated by the fact that this lead characters quirk was the use of the phrase "ack!". Yep, a straight out of Cathy "ack!".

Also, I again was bothered by the constant references to other contemporary tv shows and novels. It made me feel like I was again reading fan fiction, rather then a well done novel. ( )

I don't typically dig on paranormal romance, but I do love this series. I've reviewed two of the three of the series, BECAUSE YOUR VAMPIRE SAID SO and OVER MY DEAD BODY. (my reviews) Michele had me at I'M THE VAMPIRE THAT'S WHY. Excellent premise of a little town in Oklahoma being taken over by supernatural beings for a place to call their own, the shenanigans, some kickass fighting to keep the town and the hot monkey love. It's all tied up in a witty paranormal package that keeps me reading more when other paranormal romance books don't do nearly as much for me since they don't make me laugh like Michele's characters do.
Libby Monroe stumbles into Broken Heart while on the hunt for paranormal beings. This has been her life's work having been raised in the atmosphere with her parents. She immediately meets vampires and werewolves and dragons and gets told by Queen Patsy that she will not be allowed to leave Broken Heart, she knows too much.
It's a lot funnier than my review can let on, but I don't want to give anything away. There are some yummy love scenes, dragonfire, vampire schtuff....all good fun.
I found a neat tidbit in the pages, too. Libby is looking for something to read on Ralph's (her honey-vamp) shelves of books and finds the fab GRAVEDIGGERS WANTED: NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY - Jeff Strand (my review in the link). I read this superbly funny thriller in June 2009 on the recommendation of J A Konrath and after reading an interview Konrath did with his buddy Jeff. Michele notes this in the afterward and I became an even bigger fan.
Five it's funny in Oklahoma beans....... ( )
