I’m glad I finally started on this series. Single White Vampire was a cute, amusing, chick-lit style vampire romance. But unlike the thick, flowery, icky romantic writing style of Christine Feehan, this book’s style more closely resembles that of MaryJanice Davidson’s Undead series.

Lucern Argeneau is a vampire, but he’s also a writer. Little does the unsuspecting public realize that the paranormal romance books he’s writing are actually accounts of his family’s history: the relationship of his mother Marguerite and father Claude, his brother Etienne to Rachel Garrett, his sister Lissianna to Gregory Hewitt… the stories he tells in his books, while fact to him, are fiction to the public because who really believes in vampires anyway?

Kate Leever is Lucern’s editor, and pays a visit to Luc to try to convince him to participate in a few publicity events for his books. She is shocked by the reclusive and surly vampire—though she doesn’t yet realize that’s what he truly is. Between Kate and Luc’s mother, they trick him into attending the Romantic Times conference, where Kate begins to wonder about the increasing feelings she has towards him as she begins to crack Luc’s hardened exterior and see the true man beneath.

There were a number of funny scenes, such as Luc’s introduction to television, and his indignation at watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. “Did you see that? Buffy just staked that poor vampire. He had yet to do anything even untoward, he just crawled out of his grave and she staked him. That is just not right!” LOL

Ha! I’ve been waiting for a Swiss Vampire! (o.k., if he’s really Swiss is open to interpretation, but hey! The guys name is Lucern!)
That was a fun, fluffy read, I enjoyed it very much! There were some hilarious scenes, my favourite being the one with the condoms… ROFL I think that was the funniest erotic scene I’ve ever read.
LOVED the references to Buffy and Angel!
More on the romance side than I usually read, but still very enjoyable.

Lucern is a 600 year old vampire who writes romances. Kate, his editor, wants him to do publicity, which is does NOT want to do. Needless to say, she manages to convince him and romance ensues. Cute.

This book was too cute. A kind of modern day Vampire love story, Buffy Style. I enjoyed the comedy in this book and found it to be a fast read. Decent plot.
