The Undead Next Door Love at Stake Book 4 Kerrelyn Sparks 9780061118456 Books Reviews

I've really been enjoying the Love at Stake series (I'm up to book 5 now).
This book (#4 in the series) isn't as good as the 3 preceding. There was just too much sex (or talking about sex or thinking about sex) and not enough plot.
I would have preferred for Jean-Luc and Heather to have built up a relationship a bit more slowly instead of immediately wanting to get in each other's pants. There really was very little "suspense" in the love relationship. it was blatantly obvious where it was going to end up. So once it got there, the novelty had already worn off.
I still like the story line of these books. The world the author has created has been great fun and I want to see more of it. And I love some of the very humorous dialog. When does Fidelia get her own book? I thought she was a real hoot. But maybe because she's not a young, incredibly beautiful, well built woman, she's not going to get her day in the sun (or dark, as the case may be). That would be a shame, I'll bet there are plenty of Vamps out there that aren't young looking and beautiful that would make a great match for Fidelia!
So my suggestion to the author is for a better balance between world building / plot and the romance. After all, the creative part of these stories is the world they live in. The sex is something that is only exciting when you really care about the people involved.
Exiled to Texas, French Vampire Jean Luc needs to retreat from the world for at least 25 years, and then return as his own son. That's the problem of not aging and living publicly with mortals. Then he meets Heather and everything changes. Unfortunately his nemesis Lui, has found him after more than 100 years, and Lui knows about Heather.
Danger, love and a vampire mortal match are in the balance as Heather decides what she really fears.
This book was excellent, exciting, & suspenseful because you didn't know when the bad vampire would make his move.

Jean-Luc Echarpe, the famous designer had to move to a little town in Texas because he had lived to long in Paris to attract attention to the fact that he was not aging. While there he not only found a new designer to mentor but he also found the love of his life & a new family.

Heather Westfield has lived in her little town all of her life & has just ended a bad marriage; when her friend Sasha, who is a famous model took her to the opening of a new designer dress shop opening in their town. While she was there she knew that she couldn't afford any of the items in the store but that she could make a couple of those dresses that were there for herself but with some adjustments for her size. As she was sketching out her design Jean-Luc who was behind a two-way mirror saw her & thought that she was copying his designs for a competitor & went to confront her. Their confrontation was filled with sparks; but once he saw her designs he decided to show her his workroom & offer her a job. While in the workroom one of his oldest enemies showed up & tried to kill him; but Heather didn't run away like he told her & now his enemy, Lui, thought that Heather & Jean-Luc were romantically involved & said that he would come back to kill her & then Lui left.

Now in order for you to find out what happens next you'll have to read this book for yourselves. This book has some jealous old friends of Heather's, an ex-husband the goes around saying that he's a cockroach, a friendly werewolf & some make out scenes among other things. So, as I said above this was an excellent book.
