Light, funny, sexy vampire romance. I enjoyed this one. The ending is not 'tied up' so you pretty much need to have the sequels on hand..I've read the first 2 and there are still loose ends though the couple the book focuses on has their HEA and show up in the next book also.

When Alexis decides she needs to save her sister from being brainwashed by a rich playboy in Sin City she has no idea what she is getting herself into. Alexis is a busy Lawyer who thinks her sister Brittany is in way over her head with Ethan Carrick. Alexis talks Brittany into going home and letting Alexis take her place as his "bimbo" on his arm because she thinks Brittany is way too sweet and innocent for the job and would just get hurt. What Alexis doesn't realize is that Ethan is the president of the Vampire Nation...making him THE vampire. He needs an edge for his political platform. He feels that if he has a mortal woman at his side he will be viewed as a "nicer" vampire for the election coming up. What he finds is that Alexis is a little stick of dynomite and she thinks he is a whacko.
I have read a couple of Erin McCarthy books and have to say she does lite whimsy fluff so well. Her sense of humor is witty and yet sarcastic enough to make me appreciate her characters to the max. Who else can have their characters call each other pet names such as BallBuster (or BB for short) and Garlic?
I gave this book a rating of 4.5 stars and will definitely read the next in the series.

High Stakes is a lot of fun! After her dentist sister is seduced by one of her patients who also happens to be a vampire, Alexis sets off on a mission to free her sister from vampire Ethan's glamor. Instead she finds herself falling for the blood-sucking casino owner, even though she is immune to his glamor.

This is a quick and light read. In places it is LOL funny, but it is also very sweet. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

This was a great book with some really funny moments. If you love vampires, humor, and steamy sex scenes, then this book is for you!

Don't let the title fool you, this is actually a great first book in a series. The book is about a vampire nation that minics our democracy. The president of the vampire nation has to take a wife and is willing to marry a woman he does not love for the good of the nation. Little did he know that the shorter and curvier sister to this woman will not let her sister go so easily and comes looking for her. His charms do not work on the sister as they do with all woman. She is a strong female character in this book and I love the fact that she is smart and has a career. Plus her and the president's banter back and forth is very humorous. I enjoyed this book and am currently reading the second book in this series which follows the storyline of the president's struggle for re-election against an evil vampire and the struggles with the various other characters in the book.

This book was not bad. It was a decent read. I was a little annoyed with Alexi's when she kept saying, "bite me" to Ethan the hot main guy. Other than that it was a cute book, not as hot as other vamp books but was ok.

Aside from the sex, this is a pretty juvenile book. The writing and characters are shallow and the story just races along without much really happening. It is very very light reading. One thing McCarthy does is set up a lot of future reading and much of the plot is unresolved at the end. Characters all kind of sound alike and McCarthy has them saying things that left me scratching my head.

Loved the Vampire President idea, but something kept me from loving this book maybe characters lack of humor or humorous situations provided by the book.

I read the other two books from this author(Hiress for Hire and A Date With The Other Side) and found her writing to be very funny and easy to read. In this book, these vamps have personality! The first book of the Vegas Vampire Series was an easy read that leaves you wanting more. The dialogue had me laughing out loud! It's Fun, flirty, and sexy writing that I would definitely recommend! Very good read!!

Not surprisingly, this book series has been read out of order. But not too badly. I think that all in all, I enjoyed reading this book at this time especially because of the political climate. I enjoy following politics, but this definitely gives it a new view. lol.

I imagine that there are a lot of games to stay on top of when running for president as a mortal. I never imagined how much fun it would be to picture the many things a vampire would have to face when campaigning. First, you have to do so in a manner not to make the mortals aware of your presence. Then there's the matter of falling in love with the "wrong" sister...someone killing off your staff members and trying to frame you for it...all while still running one of Vegas' more successful casino's.

Lots of fun. Fast paced. All in all, an enjoyable read.
