Master of Ecstasy [Mass Market Paperback]

Vampire Darach MacKenzie is not a happy bloodsucker when the futurists arrive at his clan's castle. He realizes that the two guides are a bit more powerful than humans, but he plans to rid his family estate of them and their minions. Everything changes when he sees Ecstasy, Inc. employee Blythe amidst the "guests" because somehow she makes his blood boil. Believing he has found his soul mate, Darach wants to snack on her neck, but she has to prove to her employers that she can do more than just turn on every man's lust even if his fangs look so temptingly alluring.

Is there any author who does humor, horror and romance in one blending better than Nina Bangs does it? The key to Ms. Bangs' clever facetious novels is the cast never does what the reader expects; even a simple vampiric neck snack becomes a hilarious exchange between two attracted individuals separated by species and several centuries. MASTER OF ECSTASY combines vampires, time travel and that nutty Ganymede accompanied by as daffy Sparkle into an amusing romance that will lead the audience to read in one enchanting bite.

Harriet Klausner

Bythe was born in the year 2310, where nearly everything - including life - is indestructible. The people live on and on and on, so they grow bored and bored lead to extreme depression - except in Casper, Wyoming where Blythe was been "exiled" to do her job. A job that included reading her client's feelings and doing what she needs to make him happy - just sex it outside the limits. She crossed that limit in her previous assignment - hence the banishing to Casper.

In order to prove she is worthy to get out of Happyville, USA, she has taken on a new assignment - A working vacation (immediately superior tagging along to report on her). She and her boss book a vacation back in history - 1785 Scotland to be precise to Castle MacKenzie (HUM - Miss Bangs please note ;-) that is SMALL k not large K!! when the person is a Scot ) through Ganymede tours. We learn Ganymede and his companion - an oversexed spirit Sparkle Stardust there to make trouble. He commands to Sparkle appear in cat form to help with his plans. Ganymede has booked the tour into the castle thinking it's empty. Everyone soon learns there is one Darach MacKenzie, owner - for several centuries - of the castle. He wants the tour gone, so Ganymede plans to kill the vampire for control of the Castle.

Bythe is attracted to Darach, though she is not sure about liking a vampire. To make her confusion worse, her boss has assigned her - challenged - her to make Darach happy or else get fired - and no sex! How do you make a 700-year-old vampire happy???

Toss in a deranged Buffy the Vampire fan from the present century who sees herself as Bully Jr. and who agrees with Ganymede the Vamp has to go, you have is one witty tale that will keep the readers guessing from page to page. Sure to please vampire fans and time travel fans looking for something a little different, and guaranteed to satisfy Nina Bang Fans!
