"Vamps in Sin City"

Ethan Carrick is running for re-election as president of the Vampire Nation, and his campaign manager Seamus Fox convinces him that he needs to find a first lady and he thinks he has found the perfect woman in Becky Balduzzi, until he meets her very protective sister Alexis.

Alexis is determined to get Becky away from Ethan, but she is unprepared for the intense attraction to the hunky casino/hotel owner. But when her sister tells her that Ethan and his friends are vampires, she thinks that her sister has gone off the deep end.

HIGH STAKES is an awesome start to what promises to be a hot, very anticipated new series from popular author Erin McCarthy. Ethan is a charming, hot, sexy vampire and Alexis is a no holds barred prosecuting attorney who is his match in every way.

HIGH STAKES also has a cast of secondary characters that are begging for their own story. As far as I am concerned the more vampire romances from Erin McCarthy the better. HIGH STAKES is hot, sexy and laugh out loud funny. Who knew vampires could be so much fun?

Summary

He's a bloodsucking freak of nature. But, unlike other politicians, Ethan Carrick is actually a nice guy. Not to mention a very hot, wealthy, casino-owning vampire. It's an election year for vampires, which means he'll first have to escape his opponent's hit men. Then he'll have to find a suitable First Lady, preferably here in Vegas...

Brittany Baldizzi fits the bill. She's smart, pretty—and sweeter than a glass of diabetic O-Negative. But her protective sister Alexis steps in with a message for Ethan: Bite me. It's then that he realizes it's the sexy, no- nonsense Alexis who raises his stake. And as much as she denies it, Alexis wouldn't mind a romp in the coffin with him. But can a mere mortal, even one who risks her life for him, make a centuries-old, womanizing vampire feel something entirely new?
