In Broken Heart, Oklahoma, a group of paranormals called The Consortium owns most of the land, and through an unfortunate act, many of the single townspeople have been turned into vampires. Simone Sweet is one, a single mother with a buried past recently returned to Broken Heart. She has told no one about her violent marriage except Grandma Elaine, who welcomed her in her time of need. Simone becomes the town’s mechanic and repair guru, and while helping build a shield to protect the town, she encounters Brady Hayes, a nonparanormal who is helping The Consortium. He is determined to win her over, even though, still wounded, she cringes when men pay attention to her. Easygoing Brady finally breaks through Simone’s reluctance, until her past and Brady’'s come back to haunt them and the town. Bardsley’'s romantic vampire series (Wait till Your Vampire Gets Home, 2008) is a roller-coaster ride filled with humor and action, and sure to entertain. --Patty Engelmann
