 Kerrelyn Sparks absolutely amazes me. Who would think, after all the books in this series, she would be able to come up with a new and exciting story to tell. Zoltan and Neona's story is amazing and the total opposite from other Love At Stake Series books. A new setting, new storyline ... but a lot of our favorites come to visit. 
 Zoltan and Neona had me smiling throughout the story. An Amazon woman who thinks that men are good for nothing but reproduction and a vampire searching for answers and getting way more than he bargained for. When they finally realize who the other one is - why the other is familiar, they know that fate was playing a hand in getting them together. And maybe, someone from beyond the grave as well. 
 As the story unfolds and we learn about Zoltan and Neona, their pasts, their secrets and the reason why they are like they are, we also learn of their fears and hopes for the future. We watch them go through some decisions that affect not only themselves, but the people around them. We deal with their grief and their happiness ... their hates and their loves. We also learn that Zoltan is a very determined man who keeps his promises. 
 I was enthralled from the first minute that I opened this book. Especially when I realized that this was going to be a whole different take on the vampire world that was built around the Draganesti's but with the same humor and love that we have come to expect. I was shocked with the twists and turns and little surprises that Ms. Sparks throws at us. I sat there with my mouth open when I got to the end of the story and, if I were a cartoon character with a bubble over my head, it was say "REALLY!" Yes, I was very surprised with what she did. Surprised, shocked, awed and a little scared that she is starting to end the series and this is the first step. 
 If you have followed this series as I have, you too will have jaw-dropping moments throughout the book with what she does in How to Seduce a Vampire (Without Really Trying). And, with no spoiler, it's hard to tell you or even hint at what the surprise is in the end. The Draganesti's and the other vampire's that we have come to know and love, are not as prominent in this book but our wonderful, loving, big teddy bear Howard is. (I love that big bear). And, a few new people are introduced as well. But, even though this book is different from the rest, nothing really has changed ... Kerrelyn Sparks again brings us a charming, sexy, book that combines humor, great characters, a little suspense and lots of love.
