"Another Sparkle and Ganymede story!"

Ganymede and Sparkle Stardust are back but this time Ganymede is a cat: a big black cat named Trojan and Sparkle has taken the name Prada (like the shoes). They are here to wreak havoc at the Woo Woo Inn for Cindy Harper. Cindy just has one little different thing about her. She's over 700 years old and doesn't have a clue as to why. So she opens up the Woo Woo Inn for fun and hopes to lure someone there who might know why she's lived for so long without aging like a normal person.

Thrain Davis nee Mackenzie has search long and hard for Cindy. He has reason to believe she's Darach Mackenzie's daughter, the daughter Darach believes died many, many years ago. Now he just has to convince Cindy she is who he knows she is. That may take some doing especially when he has to tell her she's the daughter of a vampire.

Since Trojan and Prada have arrived, things have a way of going haywire and what is with Trojan and all the ice cream he feels he has to eat? Is he a normal cat or what? What is really going on here? Then there's the Jersey Devil and the ghosts in the graveyard. Cindy knows that she opened the Woo Woo Inn to attract strange beings but she had no idea how strange.

What will Cindy do when she finds out about herself and that her father is still living? Thrain just needs to find just the right time, if there is such a thing.

I fear that Nina Bangs' books are going to have to go the route with me that Katie MacAllister's have and that is to watch where I read these laugh out loud books! I have every one of Nina Bangs' books on my keeper shelf where they belong! As always, I am eagerly looking forward to her next books!

Summary

Cindy Harper had an ice-cream flavor for every emotion. Vanilla caramel fudge eased the stress of dealing with her weird and wacky guests at the Woo Woo Inn. But no sweet treat from her freezer was smooth, creamy, or tempting enough to cool down her sensual fantasies about uber alpha male Thrain Davis.

This was a man to be enjoyed on a strictly primitive level. Every woman who ever saw him smile would wonder about the pleasure his mouth could give her and recognize the secrets in his hard blue gaze. Too late she realized the danger of inviting an ancient vampire into her inn. The concept of fanged creatures of the night scared her witless. Besides, he forced her to examine her past when she was just fine with her present. He did have an up side, though. Who needed ice cream when you had a hot and yummy dark immortal in your bed?
