So on the cheesy to not scale, this book falls way into cheesy. Austin is supposed to be this mysterious, strong CIA agent working for the Stake-Out team (vampire hunters) but he acts like a whiny yet horny teenager for most of the book. (And what's with the name Stake-Out? That's just stupid.) Darcy hates being a vampire (she was turned 4 years ago) so she's also whiny for most of the book. But she used to be an TV reporter and yet can't manage to do any investigating or look for a good angle on anything until a job basically falls into her lap. The reality TV show angle is kinda cute, but that's all I actually liked about the book. Certainly couldn't figure out when Austin and Darcy fell in love or what they liked about each other since they barely talked before starting to have sex. (And then immediately said they loved each other but it wouldn't work.) 
 Funny ending - she's always cold and wants to have a normal life...so they plan to go live and work in Eastern Europe fighting the bad guy vampires. 
 Anyway there are about a zillion books in this series, I don't think I'll be reading any more.
