I instantly recognized this story so I assume I've read it before. However I don't remember a single thing about it so I may as well read it again.

Austin Erickson is a vampire slayer who works for the CIA's Stake-Out Team. His job is to find the CIA director's daughter who was apparently kidnapped by vampires. In his search he comes across Darcy Newhart, the director of the reality show, The Sexiest Man on Earth. He is instantly smitten with Darcy whom he believes is human no vampire at all.

The premise is good and once I was able to ignore the babble of the ex-harem women, the story was much easier to swallow. I'm not a fan of reality television so that stuff just irritated me. However, I did like Austin and I found his internal struggle amusing. I love her but she's a vampire, shouldn't I kill her?" Rather entertaining personal dialogue. Darcy is an interesting heroine - an innocent do-gooder turned vampire against her will.

I was trapped at work today with nothing to read but this book so I was forced to finish it. I'm glad I did because it is a good story and it continues the backstory from [book:How To Marry a Millionaire Vampire|263179] which I absolutely loved.
