Giggle Your Way Thru This Vampire Time-Travel Romance

MASTER OF ECSTASY by Nina Bangs is serious fun. Bangs has a smarmy, witty writing style that makes you laugh, often at Blythe's mental comebacks. Blythe is the heroine of this vampire romance, a girl from Earth in 2339 who time-travels back to Scotland of 1785 for business purposes. It's her job to make clients happy, and the client chosen for her is a 500-year old vampire named Darach, who just happens to ooze sexual danger. If that's not intriguing enough to read about, read MASTER OF ECSTASY for its other interesting couple: cosmic troublemakers Ganymede and his lusty cat, Sparkle Stardust - both evil and enjoying it. I want to read more about those two!!! Anyway, I had a fantastic time reading MASTER OF ECSTASY. I finished it in one afternoon, and giggled throughout the entire book. Darach is a hottie vampire and Blythe a strong, enjoyable heroine. The sexual chemistry is great, and very creative. Highly recommended. PS. It has a sequel called NIGHT BITES.

Fantastic!

A bunch of time travelling vacationers from the future are invading the Scottish castle of a vampire in the year 1785. One of the vacation company's employees, Blythe has to remain celibate b/c of a past mistake. Blythe is also empathic. The vampire, Darach, enjoys sex above all, and guards his feelings so that Blythe can't even find them. How Blythe learns to open up and love, and Darach learns that someone could want him for his heart rather than his body (as formidable as that is), is the main plot, and a great one at that. The story is supplmented by side plots, interesting supporting characters, and some cosmic powers, villians, and vampires.This was exactly my kind of book - vampires, fantasy, sci-fi, cosmic powers, historical - and it was well-written, the plot excellent, with real comedic aspects. A lot of romance books are now billed as "funny", which are jammed with quirky, annoying, stupid characters. This book actually was funny with cool characters without ever being annoying or stupid or ever having the secondary characters overwhelm the main characters. As people, I really liked both the hero and heroine, which is a rarity for me. Highly recommended.

Excellent.

Taking a trip back in time might not be your ordinary vacation choice, but not everyone has reformed demon, Ganymede, for a travel agent. Since Blythe does, she takes a trip from the 24th century back to the 18th. As an agent of Ectasy Inc. she is under one rule above all else, no sex. That should be easy enough to accomplish, especially since Ganymede's not reformed demoness helper is causing Blythe's fellow male travelers to not be attracted to women. However, there is a vampire lurking around, and he is a much greater challenge. Darach finds the future woman intriguing in more ways than one, and is determined to win her, despite the insane vampires attacking the castle, the wild women looking for immortality, and the fluffy little pink tribble type things following Blythe around.***** If Ganymede is in a book, it's a guaranteed winner in the laughs department. Adding in his associate, Sparkle, and the giggles double. Ms. Bangs cleverly mixes action, humor, time travel, and vampires to make a charmer of a novel. The only problem is now I want one of the little fuzz balls sent to harrass Blythe with affection. *****Amanda Killgore

I Love Nina Bangs!

Nina Bangs is one of my favorite authors. She writes such a sexy, funny story and her new book definitely delivers. I couldn't wait to tear off the paper and dive into one of her great stories. I loved Master of Ecstasy and I can't wait for Nina's next book.

Nina score another Bang!

Nina Bangs has been coming on strong with her books and this is another in the long line of "marvelous reads". It's another time travel; it's a vampire book like none other. Very refreshing tale in her Ganymede series.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!
