Sexiest Vampire Alive audiobook

Sexiest Vampire Alive by Kerrelyn SparksBook 11 of the Love at Stake series. Paranormal vampire romance. Can be read as a stand-alone however there is an overall arc storyline that progresses through the books. Vampires exist and the world now knows it thanks to a video of Gregori. The White House President arranges for his daughter to work with the vampire and she can’t resist the hottie. Amusing Insta love story as the whole series is. The 15 minute mind wiping goes awry in this story and it’s funny the gymnastics that follow as the heroine questions pieces from her missing time. Passion, danger and a smidge of politics.

4.25 StarsI really enjoy this series and this one was definitely better than #10. There are 'Laugh Out Loud' situations, interesting and tense moments that make you gasp, and delightful 'Love at First Sight' romance. We learn more about Gregori that really buts his character in perspective. Also, there is a new enemy that looks more forbidding than Casimer was. Both Gregori and Abigail are well defined. You find yourself cheering them both on. There are 'Love' scenes in this book that qualify it as 'Adult' romance, but they are not lewd. A funny and satisfying read.

The video of the big battle in the last book has gone viral, and mortals are starting wonder if vampires are really real. So it falls to the harmless-bottle-fed-never-bit-a-human Gregori to be the poster child for vamps when doing damage control and trying to win the support from the President to officially 'debunk' the videos. However, the President's cooperation is going to come with price - Gregori is going to have to accompany the President's limelight shy eldest daughter Abby on a secret expedition. Yay, the Sexiest Vampire Alive turned out to be just the light and sexy book that I needed as a palate cleanser after all the dark (but good) books from the previous set of new releases. I thought Gregori was yummy and it is fun seeing the 'play boy' vamp fall for the brainy beauty he can never have - I liked the way that Gregori is instantly intrigued with Abby and the fact that the vamp issue is out in the open from the very start. I also liked the touch of forbidden love along with the conflict caused by what Gregori wants, what he needs to do to keep his people safe, and what Abby needs in order to save her dying mother, and that all of those things makes the pair have to work just a bit to get their happily ever after. From a series point of view, the void created by Casimir's death is filled by a new mysterious evil villain and I enjoyed seeing my favorites among the cast putting in cameo appearances. The story even does a better job of setting up Doctor Phang than in other books (he's not so over the top in this one) - I think that I saw that his book is next. So another fun episode in the Love at Stakes series and another vampily ever after:)

To me, the cover doesnt really make sense, but let's not judge a book by its cover! I read it in just a few days which does not normally happens! I loved the cocky references Gregori would use and the almost innocent Abigail. overall, it was a good book.

I sure gobbled this one up....review coming soon:)

Thanks to YouTube and a video showing the decapitation of the Malcontent leader, the secret existence of vampires is no longer quite so secret. Hoping to form an alliance with the U S government, Gregori Holstein is sent to convince the President and his advisors to convince the public the video is fake. Gregori is the epitome of what a young vamp should be, urbane, well educated, suave, gorgeous and totally bottle fed. Gregori has fed exclusively on synthetic blood since his turning and is the perfect example of the harmlessness of vampires to humans. Daughter to the President, Abby Tucker is a researcher dedicated to finding a cure for her mother’s Lupus. If the vampires can assist Abby in retrieving some necessary but forbidden plants in China the alliance will proceed. Gregori’s fascination with the first daughter could throw a monkey wrench into the whole plan. A vampire son-in-law is not good for approval ratings.I wondered where the series would go after the last battle with the Malcontents and I see Kerrelyn Spark's creativity has served her well, yet again. Not only is the vampiric world in danger of a massive public outing but a new villainous threat has emerged. Muah hahaha! And from the darkest interior of China no less. This had a slightly darker tone than Ms. Spark’s previous books, at least in my humble opinion. Oh, it was still lighthearted in the beginning but once the story developed it became obvious that this new villainous threat was not to be taken lightly. I had looked forward to Gregori's story from the very first book and it was everything I had hoped for. He really got to shine and shake off the rookie playboy image. Oh, he was still his dashing self, but with a maturity that had been missing. Abby was a little intolerant for a researcher, or maybe too much of a researcher. She had dedicated her life to finding a cure for her mother's illness with a focus that left her with tunnel vision. While her intent was laudable, her willingness to use Gregori ticked me off a tad. Off course Gregori's prime objective was in direct contrast to winning his true love. He couldn't let her know that vampire blood was curative, the whole race would have been drained dry. But secrets have a way of being exposed and blowing up in everyone's face.This book has re-energized this delightfully sexy and fun series and I am glad it looks like it will continue for quite a bit. The new shifter characters and Abby's sister certainly present some interesting threads. Of course it's always lovely to see what's happening with Roman and his brood, plus the Mackay's security force. There is no shortage of things to enjoy with these vamps and their cohorts, mates and the villains trying to upset their happy apple carts. Once again Ms. Sparks, job well done.

You have the basics but what Kerrelyn does with these characters is pure magic and allot of romantic fun that makes you fly through this book waiting for the next. Read them all and you will enjoy every one, I promise.

If you’ve read the other books in this series then you know who “Gregori the Gregarious” often referred to as a “play-boy” who’s never wanted to settle down. Someone always the life of the party and would always ensure some comic relief in this series from his crazy ideas, to his outlandish self-confidence. Well it’s finally his turn to meet a woman who’ll turn his world upside down, and of all people it’s the president’s daughter! In the last book a video is released of Conner killing Casimir, leading to the world finding out that vampires truly exist. At the start of this book we find ourselves in a pickle with the Vamps trying to figure out a way to cover up the video. The President has agreed to have the video discredited if the Vamps will escort his daughter on a mission into China. Sparks fly from the very moment Gregori lays eyes on Abby, he has promised to keep her safe but who is going to keep her safe from him? I came across this series a few years ago. During the time when I was beginning to out-grow the whole “twilight” phase. Originally I was skeptical, “it would just be another vampire romance.” That had started blending together into the same collage of characters. Kerrelyn Sparks managed to surprise me, she is actually funny! This book is no exception. I always enjoy the way Kerrelyn Sparks can keep things light-hearted and fun but also have the necessary suspense to keep you coming back for more from the maniacal Casimir, to the newest Evil Incarnate. The only problem some people may have is the romance can seem a bit rushed. The story takes place all in a few days’ time. Personally I can still feel the relationship building and I don’t mind as much, when you know, you know. Although a plus for Kerrelyn Sparks’ series is she keeps you up to date on all of her couples, but any book in this series can still be read as a stand-alone novel without losing the audience. I definitely recommend this book f you want a fun not too “sleazy” romance. As Always if you have any recommendations or requests email me

while I usually love Kerrelyn Sparks, I found this story very slow in the first half of the book. I missed the usual humor I associate with the love at stakes series, and found I just didn't feel the connection to Gregori and Abby that I felt for the other couples in the series. It picked up in the second half, once there was more action involved. which is why I still gave it 4 stars, but I don't think it lived up to the rest of the series.

Gregori Holstein is much more than the persona he portrays to the public. He is so good at his job it shows in his everyday life. He has the opportunity to make a contribution beyond the norm for his people. This assistance is presented in the form of the presidents daughter, Abby Tucker. Doors are opened and realities tested.
