Vacationing with the Vampire is the second Lyonne Riley ARC I have had the privelege of reading. Since I loved the other book so much I jumped at the chance to sign up for this one.

Our heroine, Maisie, is a video game developer. But after the most recent rollout has huge issues, Maisie finds herself on a mandatory vacation while the snafu is investigated.

She picks Hallow's Cove as her vacation destination, not realizing that it is a town populated almost exclusively by monsters, including her new landlord, Barnaby.

Barnaby, the town's founder, resident bookstore owner and vampire, does not want to like his new tennant. She's too big of a temptation for a vampire who has sworn off human blood ages ago, so he's an aboslute grump to Maisie. But Maisie is nothing if not persistant, and she makes it her goal to befriend her grouchy landlord.

I'm usually not a big fan of the super fast-burn romances, but Lyonne Riley does it absolutely, perfectly right in Vacationing with the Vampire. Maisie and Barnaby don't just fall for each other's physical attributes. They have (sometimes difficult) conversations and truly get to know each other, so they fall for each other mentally and emotionally as much as physically.

Barnaby was such a delightful curmudgeon and Maisie's "kill him with kindness" campaign was hilarious. 😂 I really enjoyed the different take on vampire lore too.

If you want a fast, fun, spicy vampire romance, pick up Vacationing with the Vampire in Hallow's Cove!
