"It bit: New York hotels cost an arm and a leg, and Terri had flown from England to help plan her cousin's wedding. The new in-laws offered lodging. But they were a weird bunch. There was the sometimes-chipper-sometimes-brooding Lucern, and the wacky stage-actor, Vincent. (She couldn't imagine Broadway casting a hungrier singing-and-dancing Dracula.). And then there was Bastien. Just looking into his eyes, Terri had to admit she was falling for him - someone even taller, darker and hungrier than the other two. She was feeling a mite peckish herself. And if she stayed with him, those bloodsucking hotel owners wouldn't get her!."

Kate's (from previous book Single White Vampire) cousin and best friend Terri is flying into town to help out with Kates wedding. Kate and Lucern ask Lucerns brother Bastien to put Terri up in the penthouse owned by the family and suddenly Terri finds her self stranded with Bastien and his unplanned house guests: His cousin Vincent and Kate's co-editor Chris when Kate is assigned to an out of town writing conference.
A lot of laugh out loud scenes in the book almost from the very begining when Terri greets Bastien confusing him for Lucern because Kate told Terri Lucern would be the most handsome man in the room when she met him on to when Chris the friendly editor is in accident after accident causing him to be hospitalized.
There are some sad scenes in this book as well. We learn that Terri had a husband who died and she is very relucant to get into another relationship. In fact, for a while she believes Bastian is ill as well due to his inability to be in sun light for very long and the IV stand she found in his room.
Bastien and Terri are one my favorite book couples.
