Another Good One by Erin McCarthy

A night of indulgence can feel like an eternity. Gwenna Carrick has a history- 900 years of it. As the vampiress ex-wife of the notorious vampire Roberto Donatelli, she must keep a low profile. Not easy when you're bathed in the neon glow of Las Vegas-especially when there's a whole online group of vampire slayers bent on dealing you your last hand. A wild night with a stranger was not in the cards for Gwenna. But that's what happened when she met the ruggedly handsome detective Nate Thomas. Their passion made her feel alive again. But when Donatelli catches wind of the tryst, he's determined to clean house, with Nate the first on his to-off list. Gwenna knows she hit the jackpot with Nate and won't let anyone stand in the way. But both soon realize they have far more enemies than Donatelli- both on the strip and underground.

Apparently this is book number four in a series called Vegas Vampires. I was unaware of that when I first picked up this book. It didn't really matter though, because it was easy to follow even without having read the others.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Once again, I loved the way that McCarthy described her characters in vivid details. I loved how Gwenna came into her own in this book. Her ex-husband controlled her for over three hundred years. By the end of this book she was a very powerful and self-efficient woman. I loved seeing her growth.

I also loved how Nate came to love her. He started out thinking she was a ditzy blonde, but then saw her for the wonderful person (vampire) she was. I thought the ending was a bit rushed and would love to have seen more of a bigger ending with Nate and Gwenna. Having said that though, I loved this book and will continue to read more of Erin McCarthy. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!
