In Telluride Blood", the vampire David Parker is back and he's sexier than ever. Maybe it's the setting - Colorado's Rocky Mountains and the charming town of Telluride, or the combination of gritty Sheriff Sol Byrne matching wits with Parker that has me hooked. Or is it Dr. Scarlett Geary, attractive, conflicted and the object of both men's romantic aspiration? It's all of the above - the well-developed characters, exquisitely described settings and true- to-life dialogue that combine to bring this tale to life. It's a satisfying literary meal with the promise of a sequel as dessert.
