Amelia is an accountant who knows and appreciates the definitiveness of the IRS tax code. She has given up on romance: she's happy with her job and her friends and her cat, and doesn't want to go through another breakup. The only problem is that her mother keeps pressuring her to date. When Amelia hears that yet another one of her cousins is getting married, and that her invitation will include a plus-one, she tells her mother that she is dating someone, to get her to stop harping on her lack of relationship. But now she needs to find someone willing to pretend to be dating her.
Who else besides Reginald, who appears as the annoying (but funny) dude in Levine's first vampire mystery, My Roommate Is a Vampire. Amelia makes Reginald's acquaintance when he plows into her on the sidewalk outside her office. When she sees him again at a coffee shop, in spite of the fact that she doesn't know him, she asks if he will help her out.
Thus starts their fake dating relationship with the twist: Reginald is a vampire. He actually tells her about it, but she thinks he's joking. Oh, and Reginald is on the run from a gang of vampires who want to kill him for a crime that they think he committed 150 years ago. This novel is a fast and funny read.
