How To Seduce A Vampire (Without Really Trying) (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Neona is a warrior princess who lives with a small group of warrior women in a remote valley in Tibet. They are unknown and need to stay that way because their lives have been pledged to a bigger cause and have been for many, many centuries. When Neona and the other woman break their rule about no men, after helping a man who helped them in an attack, it’s the beginning of them learning just how the world has changed in the many centuries they have been apart and that not everything they have been told is the entire truth. This handsome and strong man just might be the man worth mating with to produce a girl child with.Zoltan Czakvar has been looking for the people who killed his father for over 800 years and finally he has a lead – an exact copy of the arrow that was used and that Zoltan has kept for so long. Finding out just where that arrow came from and who the owner is begins a long and frustrating journey for Zoltan, that is until it becomes a journey filled with love and passion. Now if he can just get the trust and acceptance from not only Neona, her mother the Queen and the other warrior women. As if that isn’t going to be difficult enough, Zoltan is going to have to help them defeat the same ban of evil vampires and others who he and his people have been seeking for many, many years.Neona is fighting a battle with herself and the “truths” that she and her friends have been told for so long. However, fighting the attraction between herself and Zoltan fast becomes a losing cause, so Neona begins to figure out a way to have Zoltan be accepted by her mother and the other women in her valley. Learning that Zoltan not only knows the men who have been attacking them but that he and his friends can help protect them and their mysterious lifetime charge, is going to be one heck of an undertaking if they are to have all the women learn to accept the many changes that are coming at them fast and furious. Zoltan never expected the cascade of changes that his falling for Neona produced but when the worse happens, he is determined to put everything right – even if the cost might be greater than either Zoltan or Neona every expected.A warrior princess and a ancient vampire learn that love can happen at anytime and all you really can do is hold on and ride the wave while fighting for your right to experience that same love. How to Seduce a Vampire (Without Really Trying) not only brings Zoltan and Neona together but it also brings the present to a secluded group of warrior women and introduces a group of shifters previously thought to be extinct. I had to laugh as I finished Zoltan and Neona’s story when I realized that the many changes and answers that happened all came from an arrow. I had to love both Zoltan and Neona – Zoltan for his fierce courting of Neona and also his long hunt for who the arrow that killed his father belonged to, (mind you it was for a very different reason than I first thought) and Neona for trying to find a path between her new love of Zoltan and the mission that she and the other women in her valley are sworn to uphold. Ms.Sparks pens a riveting story, as things get shook up for the warrior women and as Zoltan and Neona found and fought for their love. How to Seduce a Vampire (Without Really Trying) is a journey of fighting to protect the innocent while a strong and lasting love is being discovered – full of touching parts and deadly danger. Just what I would expect from Kerrilyn Sparks’s Love at Stake series.This book was reviewed by Jo for Joyfully Reviewed (JR), and was provided by the publisher/author at no cost to JR for the purpose of being reviewed. Wow. Just wow. One of the best books in the series, and I love the whole series. This takes me back to the first few in terms of how much I enjoyed it. But it really expands the world with some new twists. With 14 previous books, the series was about to need a new spark. The author did just that. Not only is Zoltan amazing (just check out that cover--and his personality is even better), but lots of familiar faces pop up, including some who will likely be having their own books before too long. Finally, Sparks is one of those terrific authors who doesn't leave the newcomer confused about past events but tosses in pertinent information in a way that doesn't bore longtime fans. Truly fabulous.
