This is once again a very funny book with a light touch. It does not delve too deeply into the vampire world, so if you need a break from Christine Feehan et al, this could be the book. The dialogues are outrageously funny and the two main characters pretty well developed. Yes, some scenes seem a bit rushed, but I didn't think it made the story less believable. If you know what to expect - it is a very good book.
I liked how Darcy is trying to keep her humanity and teach the harem a thing or two. She was after all, a very independent woman before her untimely change. That she falls so hard and completely for Adam, ahem Austin, just makes this story sweeter compared to the usual where the heroine hates the character at first and then develops those feelings that she knew she had inside her all along. In this book, the heroine was refreshingly intelligent.

Like so many others here, I adored HTMAMV....Roman and his company were awesome. Loved Shanna and the guards (especially Conner!) and I grabbed up the 2nd and 3rd books of the series so fast your head would spin. And there is much here in "Vamps In The City" to enjoy. The focus this time is Darcy, a four year turned vampire, who is starting a realtiy show on the Digital Vampire Network. She signs Austin up to be on the show, knowing he is mortal, but not knowing that he is a spy for a group called Stake Out. Stake Out's aim is to kill all vampires. What is good? The entire reality show plotline. Roman's ex-harem are needing a new master and the winner of the reality show will get a million dollars AND this harem. These girls are pretty funny and very entertaining. I liked seeing what they would do within the series and outside of it. The glimpses at some character's from the first book were entertaining too. Darcy's story of her turning was interesting and some talked about (but not so much in first hand) vampire killing was introduced as well. What was not so good? The whole romance between Darcy and Austin was weak. The supporting characters were more entertaining than either of our two leads. Darcy was ok, but she lost a lot of points with me (and apparently some other reviewers) because she was so miserable being a vampire. Here life really wasn't bad enough to support her feelings on this. The pluses sure seemed to outweigh the negatives. Austin was even worse. Austin immediately got off on the wrong foot, by snapping up tons of pictures of Darcy's legs, butt, and chest before he even knew who she was. It was weird, and not in a good way. He is so grossed out by her being a vampire, he did everything but lose his lunch over it. In a romance story you expect there to be sex scenes, but this seemed to be the only thing between Austin and Darcy. I never felt anything stronger develop. If I had to make bets, I would see this fairy tale romance fizzling right out once the relationship gets past the honeymoon stage.
Still worth the read and I still can't wait to read more from this series. Hopefully this was just a bump in the road.

Although I liked this one the least in the series, it is still worth reading if you've read the first book. I would not recommend starting the series with this one.

I love this series! The books have great humor and romance. It is not chalk full of racy sex scenes but the actual romance is wonderful! I can't wait for the next book to be released!

I know it seems wrong for a paranormal romance fan to say a book is cheesy, but this book was just silly. A reality show with vampirettes who find their independence and self confidence. Are you kidding me? Way too contrived for me! I tried to read the next in the series but the bad Scottish accent was just too much. Try Katie MacAlister or Lynsay Sands. Still what I consider "chick lit" but won't insult your intelligence.
