Guestpost: Living In The Past by Vanessa Kelly + Giveaway

We are very happy to welcome regency author Vanessa Kelly here at Book Lovers Inc today.  One of her stories is part of the Invitation to Sin anthology which was released this month. Today she will tell us about her love for Regency Romance. Please give Vanessa a warm welcome and be sure to answer her question at the end for the chance to win your own copy.

And I love the research. Okay, I realize that loving research so much qualifies me as a serious geek, but I like nothing better than sitting down with a …

Format Read: paperback provided by the publisherNumber of Pages: 288 pagesRelease Date: February 1th 2011 Publisher: Titan BooksFormats Available: PaperbackPurchasing Info: Author’s Website(facebook), Goodreads, Book Depository, Amazon.comBook Blurb:

LA-based P.I. and vampire Mick Angel has been hired by a beautiful red-headed burlesque dancer to find her missing sister.

Mick must learn the hard way what every vampire should know – nothing stays buried for ever, especially not the past.

My Thoughts:

A book about Mick from the CBS series Moonlight? Hell yes, I had to read this one. Angel of Vengeance is …
