Trigger warnings: adoption, offensive language, gambling addiction

Daniella Delaney is opening a cupcake shop in a suburb of Chicago that unbeknownst to her is unironically called Vamptown by the local vampire clan. If that bit of on-the-nose writing bothers you, you’ll like this book as much as I did. Before I proceed, I feel like I should explain my rating process. I start every book off with five out of five stars. As I read, I deduct half stars or whole stars depending on how severe I judge something to be. I was ready to give this book two stars until the very end when it fully earned the rating that I gave it.

A quick, entertaining read, provided you don't expect too much of it. Likeable characters, formulaic plot. The author did a very good job with setting and description - I could easily imagine the street in Chicago where the vampires called home. Her descriptions of the cupcakes were almost fattening themselves.

All in all, a fun read the held my attention. ( )

I was first introduced to this series when I picked up book two and read it. What really drew me to this series is the witty humor and sex appeal between the male and female leads. I have since than read a Christmas story and when I was looking for something to read, I came across this book in my to be read pile. It was like I had not been gone a long time from this series when I picked up this book. The witty humor was still there as was the sex appeal but in this book the sex appeal was hot but with a comedic twist. "Funny is sexy".

Daniella is a strong, bullheaded, sweet as sugar woman. It was her charm and the fact that she could not be controlled or scared off by Nick that instantly had me making an human connection with her. It was like everyone that she met could not resist her cheerful attitude. Under all of Nick's tough exterior, he was nothing more than as sweet as one of Daniella's cupcakes. ( )

Although the beginning was awkward and the dialog a little stilted, by the end, I think it got better. Interesting world and I am curious to see how the series plays out. ( )
