Must Love Vampires

Twin sisters fall for vampire brothers in a double-header romance more notable for steamy sex scenes than plot or characterization. Gratingly breathless tabloid journalist Charlotte “Chuck” Lamoreaux trades places with her twin sister, Las Vegas chorus line dancer Chloe, to find out whether mysterious casino owner Sebastian Raines is actually a vampire. Attraction flares between Chuck and Sebastian, while Chloe, secretly the mother of a young son, elopes with Sebastian’s brother, Aidan, only to discover that he has secrets of his own. Betts (Her Little Secret, His Hidden Heir) writes the lengthy erotic encounters with passion and flair, but the sisters’ situations are so unlikely and the barriers to both romances so blatantly contrived and so easily surmounted as to foreclose development of even a modicum of suspense.
