Description:
Beloved author Sara Humphreys' acclaimed paranormal romance series continues with sweltering attraction between two vampires who have all the time in the world to satisfy their desires...
He wants eternity?
Dakota Shelton is a vampire cowboy with a penchant for cinnamon lollipops and Johnny Cash. Though highly skilled and deadly dangerous to his enemies, he's still a Texas good ol' boy at heart. And he has that heart set on wooing Trixie LaRoux-the most badass punk rock chick in town-the old-fashioned way.
Over her undead body...
Trixie is tough as nails and sharp as a silver stake-the last thing she wants is a man to sit on a porch and not grow old with. So it'll take going to hell and back fighting a new threat to vampires before she admits Dakota's courtship makes her blood hum. Turns out chivalry's not dead after all.
Praise for The Good, the Bad, and the Vampire....
"Sara Humphreys combines vampire and cowboy into a devastatingly sexy hero! The Good, the Bad, and the Vampire is a compelling, pulse-pounding, titillating adventure that grabs you from the first page, tosses you down, and steals your breath. Humphreys is a must-read in the paranormal genre!"--NYT Bestselling Author, Rebecca Zanetti
“Why are
you always lookin’ to pick a fight with me?” Dakota asked, stopping in front of
the Czars’ apartment door. “Were you this feisty as a human?”
“I guess you’ll never know.” Trixie stuck her tongue out
at him. “I’m all vampire and being feisty is totally my thing, man.”
“Damn, woman. If you ask me, Olivia should train you as a
sentry and put some of that fire in your belly to work. Maybe we could get you
out there and kickin’ a little ass. Y’know…let you blow off a little steam.”
Trixie had been about to knock on the door. Her fist
stopped an inch away from the mahogany surface and irritation mixed with
anxiety flickered up her spine. She dropped her hand to her side and turned
slowly toward the man who was quickly becoming a total pain in the butt.
“Is that so?” she asked in a deceptively sweet voice. “You
think I should kick some ass?”
He shifted his body so they were now toe to toe. Trixie’s
gut instinct was to step back and increase the distance between them, because
getting too close to him was dangerous—for many reasons. But she held her
ground even though it went against her better judgment.
Backing down wasn’t her style, at least until she met this
guy. He made her want to run to him and run away from him all at the same time.
It was more than a little confusing.
Dakota’s arms hung at his sides and even though they were
always hidden beneath his long leather sentry coat, she had a hunch they were
thick and well defined. His pale blue eyes, that sometimes glinted almost
silver, crinkled at the corners as a grin curved his firm looking lips. He
leaned closer and his scent, a mixture of sandalwood and leather, filled the
air around them.
In spite of the warning bells that went off in her head,
the heat of desire pooled in her belly.
Beneath the thick scent of lust, though, lay the pungent
aroma of silver from the heavy arsenal hidden within his coat. The reminder of
who he really was broke the spell.
You’re playing with
fire, she thought.
“Yes, ma’am.” His grin widened, as he looked her up and
down in one slow lazy pass, lingering briefly on her breasts before finally
locking gazes with her again. “You look like you were made for it. In fact, if
you ever wanna learn the ropes, I’d be happy to teach you a thing or two.”
If Trixie didn’t know better, she’d swear the man was
flirting with her and egging her on. She
let out a short laugh and shook her head slowly. He had no idea who he was
dealing with. If Dakota wanted to play a game of flirting chicken, he was no
match for her. In the field of battle he would be the undeniable victor but
flirting was her specialty.
She shouldn’t feed
into his taunting, but Trixie never did know when to quit. Besides, there was
something about this vampire that kept her coming back for more.
“I doubt that there’s much you could teach me, cowboy.”
Trixie kept her voice low, barely above a whisper and moved closer, so their
bodies were mere inches apart. His eyes widened slightly as she met his
challenge. “And if I’m going to kick some ass… I’m totally gonna start with
yours.”
“That so?” Dakota pulled a lollipop out of his pocket
before quickly unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth.
“What kind of vampire sucks on human candy?” Trixie arched
one eyebrow. “What’s with that, anyway? That is like way weird.”
“I enjoy the way they taste, that’s all.”
“Yeah? Well, it’s strange.” She tilted her chin defiantly.
“I should kick your butt for that offense alone.”
“Easy there, darlin’.” He slid the sucker from his lips
and pointed it at her. His voice dropped to a low rumble, as he leaned closer
and murmured, “Your threat sounds more like a promise. If you’re not careful,
I’ll have a mind to make you keep it.”
My Thoughts:
I love this whole series, this book included. Trixie and Dakota are adorable. It's pretty obvious that they belong together, even though they are very different. Everyone around them sees it. Trixie doesn't want to give in and have a relationship with him. She has her reasons. This is a fun read. I just enjoyed every moment of this book
