Bit the Jackpot

... Show More
The "USA Today" bestselling author of "High Stakes" returns to Vegas, where falling for a vampire isn't such a long shot. "Politics make strange coffinfellows..."


Vampire Seamus Fox is supposed to be the campaign manager for a Vampire Nation presidential candidate. Instead, he finds himself running around Vegas keeping tabs on the candidate's wife and female entourage. Seamus has had his fill of women: a disastrous and deadly love affair has haunted him for over two centuries. Talk about baggage. But suddenly he finds himself obsessed with a mysterious stripper who dances behind a screen.

The sultry yet shy Cara Kim whets his appetite for more, but leave it to Seamus to fall fangs over feet for that rarest of Vegas attractions-a good girl.

After a sudden run-in on the street, though, they may soon have a lot more in common...

Really good!

I have to say that I liked this one a bit better than the first. Both of them are quite good, to be honest. However, there is some language in this series that I'm not a huge fan of. It gives off a bit of an anti-feminist vibe, which is a bit of a turn-off for me. But despite that, overall, they're still pretty good reads.

The stories are steamy and fun, with a little mystery thrown in to keep you on your toes. The characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging. I found myself getting really into the story and couldn't put the book down until I had finished it.

Overall, I would recommend this series to anyone who likes a good romance with a bit of mystery and steam. Just be aware of the language that might not sit well with some readers.

I would like to state that I truly relished this particular book a great deal more than the first one. From the very beginning, I had the distinct impression that I was immediately drawn into the story. There was no need for me to endure waiting through several chapters to finally become engaged. It was as if the book had an inherent charm that captivated me from the outset. The plot seemed to unfold in a more seamless and engaging manner, keeping my attention firmly fixed. I found myself completely immersed in the world that the author had created, eager to discover what would happen next on each and every page.

I was in the mood for a light read, and this particular book definitely met that requirement.

As I delved into the story, it dawned on me that I might not have read this book before. So, the question remains: how did it end up in the "already read" box? It's a mystery that I'll have to solve on another day.

After reading Dark Secret, this book came as a welcome relief. It's still about vampires, but it's presented in a lighthearted manner. Strangely enough, it has a connection to today's inauguration of Obama. In the story, Ethan is running to be the president of the vampire nation, and his campaign manager is falling in love.

All things considered, it was a fun read. I'm not sure if it's worthy of a place on my bookshelf, but at the moment, I just needed a fun book to enjoy.

**Title: A Decent Experience with 3.5 Stars**

I recently had an encounter that I would rate 3.5 stars.

The overall experience was quite good, but there were a few areas that could use some improvement.

The service provided was generally prompt and friendly. The staff was knowledgeable and willing to assist with any questions or concerns.

However, the quality of the product or service had a few minor flaws. It wasn't perfect, but it was still satisfactory.

The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting, which added to the overall enjoyment.

Despite the few drawbacks, I would still recommend this place or service to others. It offers a good value for the price and has the potential to be even better with a little more attention to detail.

Overall, I would say that my experience was a solid 3.5 stars.

Quirky can be found in the most unexpected places, waiting to surprise and delight us. It's like a hidden gem that we stumble upon and cherish for its one-of-a-kind nature.

This is such a delightfully fun, refreshingly easy, and charmingly cute little read. It doesn't demand an excessive amount of deep thought processes to truly enjoy. However, it most definitely leaves you with a sense of happiness and fulfillment once you reach the end.

Throughout the story, there are numerous moments when you just want to give Seamus a good smack on the head. And tell Cara to get over her issues and start behaving like a real adult. But, overall, this is a lighthearted, effortless, and adorable read. One that I will likely pick up time and time again, especially whenever I'm in need of something to bring a smile to my face and warm my heart. Something that serves as a reminder that the world is indeed a happy place and that true love really does exist.

I never in a million years thought I'd come across a story about a virgin stripper. It was quite the paradox, and initially, I wasn't entirely certain if I would like it. After all, it delves into several extremes of a woman's sexuality. But, somehow, McCarthy manages to make it all work. Cara is incredibly strong and independent, yet at the same time, she's astonishingly vulnerable, unsure, and in many ways, prejudiced. Her rather odd ideals cause her to act and think in ways that make you want to give her a gentle nudge and tell her to wake up and smell the coffee. Which, of course, makes the book impossible to put down.

I've never been a fan of uptight men. I don't like them in real life, and I don't particularly care for them in books either. Generally speaking. However, there's something about Seamus that made me start to consider revising my opinion of such men. Only a little bit, mind you, because every time he did something stupid, it was because he was so completely rigid and unbending. This was not the kind of man that you would typically envision as your dream man... or at least, it's not the kind of man I could picture in that role. But the way he and Cara interact and complement each other is truly remarkable. You can't help but have your heart skip a beat every time you read about this seemingly perfect couple.

Although this is very much a sweet and cutesy love story, I really appreciate how it becomes a bit more complex with the underlying storyline. The election battle that was set up in High Stakes continues to unfold, and it gains a great deal of momentum. Things start to get a lot more intense and unpredictable, and you find yourself wondering just how low the Italian will stoop next time. What the next devious plot will be and how the "good guys" are going to overcome it. It has everything you could possibly need to create a storyline that is not only entertaining and engaging but also keeps you on the edge of your seat, eagerly impatient to turn the next page.

I actually found this installment to be even more enjoyable than the first one.

In the first one, I was rather taken aback by all the sexual content. It came as a bit of a surprise and perhaps threw me off a little.

However, this second one was a bit more subdued in that regard. It was still very sexy and full of fun, but it didn't have the same overwhelming amount of explicit material.

I'm really looking forward to starting the next one. In fact, I'm so eager that I'll probably begin it in about 5 minutes. :).

I can't wait to see what new adventures and experiences await me in the next part of this story.
