Sucker for Love by Kimberly Raye

Out tomorrow is another book in Kimberly Raye's Dead-End Dating series, "Sucker for Love."

Lil Marchette, a born vampire and countess is actually a soft-hearted fashionista who believes in true love and romance as much as she does in a pair of designer shoes. It's with true love (and her bank account) in mind that she sets up a mixer for the supernatural community and ends up setting up quiet vampire Esther with a handsome stranger. The problem is the stranger turns out to be Mordred, and he has something in mind for Esther other than happily ever after. Lil wants to find her friend, but is thwarted by supernatural bounty hunters and even Merlin himself, who tell her to stay out of it. Meanwhile, her mother is throwing a fit that one of Lil's brothers is trying to have a baby with a human and wanting Lil to happily settle down with the right born vampire. But Lil is still secretly dating made vampire and bounty hunter Ty and trying to keep her other brother and her best friend from breaking up while trying to keep her mother from ruining her other brother's relationship.

A trip to Texas to try to find Esther leads Lil to more clients, more danger, and more family trouble as practically everyone follows her there. But will Lil save the day while looking fashionable as always or is she going to lose a client permanently? This series is a light-hearted romp that blends paranormal, romance, quirky chick-lit and danger in one fashionably fierce package. Can't wait to see what happens to Lil next!

"Sucker for Love" is published by Ballantine Books. It is $7.99 and is 316 pages. Find "Dead End Dating," "Dead and Dateless," "Your Coffin or Mine?" and Just One Bite" at bookstores now and look for the next book in the series, "Here Comes the Vampire" soon.
