Don’t expect typical fang-sprouting bloodsuckers on this
cruise. These vampires are Roman Catholic and they love garlic. An animated
cast of characters populates a story that’s seductive and comical. It’s fun,
frantic and fabulous. Board The Romanza and set sail on a high-seas
adventure that promises a bloody good time.

Mona Rossi books a New Years romance writers cruise with the Apollo Cruise Lines. It has been three months since she has seen her on-again-off-again main squeeze, Fausto. After her messy divorce, he was there to console her. The cruise was for him. Fausto Silvius is a four-hundred-year-old vampire and one of the shipboard doctors, but a personal tragedy kept him from working for six months. For the past few months, he has had to lay low, then gets devastating news about his ex-wife. Mona is aware her latest romance suspense series has lost its pizzazz. She believes the cruise will help Fausto while reinventing her writing again. Bringing along her book publisher, and best friend, Tessie, she will be able to confess that Fausto and his friends are vampires. Fausto is trying to avoid the vampire hunters while spending time with Mona. No one expected his long-lost, ex-wife, Lucrezia Borgia, to appear saying their divorce was never valid. He wants a divorce immediately, or he will spill secrets. When Fausto receives an ominous message, Mona is certain the vampire hunters are nearby. It appears the cruise hits a snag when a serial killer boards. Could anything else go awry? From a hot tub of fun to a displeased ex-wife and a serial killer bent on revenge, A Bloody Good Cruise is a high seas adventure with twists and turns around every corner. The lively cast spins non-stop excitement with thrills and enough snags to keep the pages turning. Mona and Fausto are immersed in many complications, yet will do whatever it takes to make a go of their relationship. Diana Rubino crafts a good read with interesting players that never have a dull moment. Tessie is a wonderful secondary character that adds her own personality to this enchanting tale. --Cherokee, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance & More Reviewed by Patricia of Patricia's Vampire Notes
Mona Rossi is a romance writer whose recent books haven't been selling like they used to. What to do? Perhaps a luxury cruise for romance writers. Mona knows she can easily put something like this together, and she does.
Being with so many talented writers is certain to give her ideas for a new dynamite series. Also a cruise will be a way to have some fun time with Fausto, the special, gorgeous vampire guy in her life. It just so happens Fausto works as a ship's doctor for the cruise line. With this perfect setup what could go wrong? Plenty of course.
A band of vampire hunters have Fausto on their radar. This particularly nasty group, referred to by the vamps as Vampire Ball Busters, believe all such beings are the essence of evil and should be eradicated. To further complicate matters Fausto's former wife, the infamous Lucrezia Borgia, is onboard. She insists that their divorce was never legal therefore he should leave that human, Mona, and return to Italy to live with her, Lucrezia.
Many more complications arise in this lively, comic adventure cum romance. A fun treat for a lazy afternoon.
