Enjoyed it and would recommend it if you're a fan of this genre and don't limit yourself to the dark, brooding vampire stories. I am a fan of vampire romance books, and spend my time on Amazon looking for authors that are writing in the same genre. Bangs does the vampire alpha male character well, with a humorous overlay. I found the sex scenes enticing - Eric would be a keeper if he showed up in my world. The stuff with her recurring characters, Sparkle, et al, is a little annoying, they are pretty one dimensional - although they tie her stories together, and after you've read a couple, you don't need any wasted pages to understand Sparkle's purpose in the book. Donna's choice at the end is intriguing - I felt a little cheated that we didn't get to see some of what comes next.

Wow! Nina Bangs has some imagination. She takes a simple idea, and just expands it into something that is so special, that as a reader you feel so blessed to have discovered it. These characters don't come around everyday, as Donna Nolan finds out. I mean, in her wildest dreams as a talk show host looking for the weird and wacky in the Castle of Dark Dreams, did she ever think she would come across: a wizard, a talking cat, a cosmic trouble maker named Sparkle, a sex demon, an immortal warrior, and at last Eric McNair the vampire. Not only does Donna fall in love with Eric, she also ends up doing some of the most three dimensional love scenes I have ever read. Wicked Nights is wicked fun!

I really enjoyed this book. First of all, i am obsessed with the whole vampire romance novel thing and this definitely satisfied that. It has great plot development and the characters were actually interesting. I loved the sex scenes and everything, they were very well written.
If you are expecting the kind of romance novel that has the, "I love you forever kind of theme", your not going to find that here.
I don't really understand the character of Jack and where he fit into things. He didn't participate in any of the sexual scenes?
Overall, a great entertaining book. Couldn't put it down.

Talk show host Donna Nolan is less than pleased when she has to take her show on the road to the Castle of Dark Dreams. She considers herself open-minded but has been bombarded with calls from women claiming that a pod of vampires are draining them nightly. Donna doesn't expect to find any vampires at the Castle, but much to her surprise she finds a whole host of supernatural people, including Eric the vampire, Brynn the demon, and Conall the immortal warrior. And this list doesn't even include cosmic troublemaker, Sparkle Stardust, the telepathic cat, Asima, and the resident wizard, Holgarth!

Sparkle Stardust is determined to play matchmaker between Eric and Donna. Readers familiar with Nina Bangs' work will remember Sparkle from the Woo Woo Inn stories. Sparkle delights in putting two mismatched couples together and watching the sparks fly! Will Eric's love of chocolate carry over into a love for Donna?

Nina Bangs can always be counted on for combining the humorous with the sensual. Sparkle Stardust is one of the best continuing characters and her quirkiness only improves with each book! Asima was a fantastic addition as she and Sparkle despise each other as both have very different views as to what is appropriate for attracting a man. Sparkle favors the obvious, such as dresses cut to the navel, while Asima prefers a subtler approach. Perhaps the funniest scene involves Asima as a fashion accessory who begins singing-as a cat- at the opera! This reviewer couldn't stop laughing at this scene, and this is the second time reading the book! Of course, the whole concept of the plants, Sweetie Pie and Jessica, is simply a stroke of genius.

WICKED NIGHTS is a hilarious romp through the supernatural. Readers will appreciate the little things that make a story by Nina Bangs so delightful. Once again, Nina Bangs demonstrates why she is such a successful writer!
