**May Contain Spoilers**Parker was cursed in the 60's by a crazy witch thus making him a "vegitarian vampire". Although the witch was hoping for a blood bond, Parker wanted anything but and runs for his life when he sees "the crazy". His best friend Greg, tried to warn him, but Parker often thinks with the wrong head. ;) For the last 50 years Parker has been hiding from the witch. Greg recommends Parker move to Maggie's Grove and settle down; so Parker does.Amara is a dryad and "something else" and HATES weeds. Parker is immediately drawn to her and unlike women he's met in the past 50 years, Amara is mouth watering although he has a special diet which prevents him from drinking human blood. When all hell breaks loose in town, everyone will have to look past false truths and come together to defeat the weeds that have over taken the town.I really enjoyed this story. There was lots of lovin and lots of funny aspects of the book. What I did NOT like was how Parker kinda seemed like a girl. I dont know of ANY straight male which critiques furniture or clothing the way Parker did. Also, it was a HUGE contrast to what he is like in bed. He didn't "make love" he "fu**ed". It was just weird how Parker could be a MAN one second and a gay best friend the next (I have no problem with gay people), it was just odd that one second he was acting like a chick and the next he was the stereotypical "vampire" stud hauling his woman off for a rough roll in the sack. Honestly, the gay bestfriend was more manly than Parker, no offense.There was a lot left open in the book which makes me believe there will be a sequel. I enjoyed this book and will read the next in the series. I recommend this book to anyone who does not mind a little gay humor, a metrosexual vampire and a dryad who likes it rough!
