Publisher's summary

Miranda Puckett has failed at every job she’s ever had. Her mother just wants her to come home, join the family law firm, and settle down with Jason, the perfect lawyer boyfriend. But when Jason turns out to be a lying cheater, Miranda seizes on a job that gets her out of town: long-distance vampire transportation.

Her first assignment is to drive vampire Collin Sutherland from Washington to sleepy Half Moon Hollow without incident—no small feat for a woman whom trouble seems to follow like a faithful hound dog! And she has to do it without letting her passenger—the most persnickety, stuffy, devastatingly handsome vamp she’s ever met—drive her crazy. As she and Collin find disaster on the roads, they also find an undeniable spark between them. Could Miranda have found the perfect job and the perfect guy for her?

Light hearted and funny

May not have been the most original story but I loved how light hearted and smooth it was. I actually laughed out loud several times and it did not have that terrible fallout that characters always have in romance which I absolutely despise. If you looking for a fast paced smooth story this one is worth a chance.

The best team

I’m just keeping this short and sweet I love anything the two of them do together some better than others but I enjoy all of them that I’ve listen to so far and it’s been quite a few. You won’t be disappointed ,everything is fun , a little excitement , little drama , good entertainment enjoy.

A rating....

My Review:

Overall... 4.75 star
Performance.... 5 star
Story... 4.75 star

Loved, loved, loved this book. It should be noted that I listened to this audiobook on a road trip to my teenage son's new college, so he had to listen to it, too. He also LOVED the book...to the point that I have the first full-length book in the series on audio too and he immediately told me to start it when this one ended.

There is never a greater odd-couple than Miranda and Collin. Seriously, if something bad is going to happen, Miranda is going to be right in the center of it....and it is going to be big, and destructive, and completely unexpected. Collin is extremely regimented to the point of being completely anal retentive and OCD. He does not deal with chaos well...to the point that he hasn't left his house in 65 years. He's a recluse and as such doesn't have great people skills. Miranda never met anyone she doesn't like, except maybe Collin. She's perpetually optimistic. He's not and at first they clash on every level possible, but then they begin to get to know each other and the magic begins to happen.

Truly I loved this book. I can't tell you how many times we both were laughing out loud. My son was exhausted and kept trying to go to sleep, but couldn't when the audio was playing because the story was so riveting and entertaining.

The narrator on this was incredible too!! Her accents were spot on and never once did they slip. Even if I didn't know who was talking because of the text, her inflections were perfect and so distinct for each character that there was never a question.

I HIGHLY recommend this audiobook. It's nice because the book is officially a novella so the audio runs just a bit over 5 hours...PERFECT for a road trip. If you were ever considering breaking into listening to audio books, this would be a good one to start with!

Refreshingly humorous!

I love the sense of humor in this series of books - a giggle along with a little light supernatural romance really tickles my fancy! The mishaps occurring on this journey rival the apocalypse but never fear... Alls well that ends well.
