I loved Tucker and his dad, and Lenny, Lenny is brilliant. They relate to each other like real people do which is rarer than you'd think, especially in the books I read.

This book is weird there's no other way to describe it, it's weird but it works and one of the main reasons it does is the characters, they're real, believable people.

I was a bit intrigued I must admit, I was surprised to discover it was first published in 1999 and is now in it's third printing, I'd never heard of it before.Īnyway back to the book, it's a romance and it starts out like a normal book, down to earth cowboy Tucker from the small town of LonePine, population of just 438 falls for New York reporter Lizzie, these two couldn't really be more opposite but it works and at the start of the book I forgot for a few pages that I wasn't reading just a normal romance but then the word vampire came up and the book took a different turn. I wasn't sure quite what to expect, from the title my original thought was "comedy" and yes like I said it has humour, it's a dry humour and while it's not a comedy as such I was laughing and shaking the whole way through but like I said it's not a comedy. The problem with this book is categorising it, it's a romance, yes, a vampire book, yes, it has humour but it's not a comedy. Since the forth and final book in this series is due out in June I've decided to re-read the previous three and I'm so glad I did I'd forgotten just how funny these books are.
