Drina Argenis has been sent to babysit and guard a teenage vampire, so she won't get hurt or captured, and also so she won't decide to run away to see her family, whose memories of her and her sister have been altered. However, Stephanie has amazing mental powers and can read everyone's minds, even those who are not lifemated and projecting their thoughts. To keep from perishing from boredom, Stephanie decides it is her current mission to help Drina trick Harper Stoyan into dating Drina. However, Harper isn't looking for a lifemate; he already lost one during the transformation process from human to vampire.

In her usual funny, sexy, and warmly-wonderful style, Lynsay Sands does an excellent job providing quick exposition for new readers and developing plot lines for those familiar with the Argeneau vampires. A great book, THE RELUCTANT VAMPIRE is another fantastic novel with fabulous character interaction and interesting plot development.
