by
Molly Harper (Goodreads Author)
Nothing sucks the romance out of world travel like a boyfriend who may or may not have broken up with you in a hotel room in Brussels. Jane Jameson’s sexy sire, Gabriel, has always been unpredictable. But the seductive, anonymous notes that await him at each stop of their international vacation, coupled with his evasive behavior over the past few months, finally push Jane...more

I'm rating this more as a 3 1/2 - 4 star read.
Why? Well, first let me say that there were things about this book that I loved. The humor was still there, along with mystery and all of my favorite characters. I loved seeing them grow a little more.
So, what bothered me? I was disappointed with one of the characters......and not the one I would have expected. It was Gabriel. *sniff* In the last book he was constantly out of town, completely erratic and I went with it, waiting patiently for my ans...more

Jane Jameson #3. Well, Jane and Gabriel (her sire) decide to take a trip to Europe; what more could a small town girl want? Well, maybe for her boyfriend to not keep getting mysterious notes sent to him at every hotel that he won't share with her? Or how about not running off to mysterious emergency meetings at every turn? Or how about when she finally gets fed up and threatens to leave he doesn't help her pack and then not get in touch...more

In book three of the NICE GIRL series, we find Jane juggling many balls. She is trying to make a go of her recently inherited book store, while dealing with Gabriel's persistent mood swings.
This is probably my favorite book of the series since it ties so many thing together for Jane. Her sister Jenny, who hasn't wanted anything to do with vampire- Jane, continues to try to make Jane's likfe miserable. But this time Jane gets the upper had seveal times.

Jane Jameson is freaking awesome. After reading three books about her, I still can't get enough of this girl. In this third book in the Nice Girls Don't series, Jane is back in full force in her all her new-born (or newly dead...) vampire glory.
In this book, Jane and Gabriel's relationship is more strained than ever while Zeb just learned Jolene was pregnant. Talk about relationship dramas. The book starts off with Jane and Gabriel on a romantic getaway, but the romance quickly turns strained w...more

Third in the Jane Jameson urban fantasy series in Half Moon Hollow, Kentucky revolving around Jane, a former librarian who now runs a bookstore that specializes in vampire topics.
My Take
I do enjoy this series even though Jane makes me a bit nuts. Admittedly, she has had a lot to cope with over the past year what with losing her job to an idiot and being turned into a vampire followed up by a crash course---almost literally---on being a vampire! I just wish she wasn't such a doormat. Although,...more

Jane Jameson is back with her trusty friends, family squabbles, and boyfriend angst in this book about the life and loves of an ex-librarian-turned-vampire just trying to make a little something of herself. Wielding the double-edged sword of witticism and sarcasm and brandishing a shield of self deprecation to cover insecurity, Jane manages yet again to charm and amuse as she deals with the doubts and fears of a potential cheating sire/lover, the annoyance of family, the terrors of the pink Cour...more

All of the issues between Jane and Gabriel finally come to a head when their trip around the world becomes one disaster after another. Someone is sending mysterious notes to each stop along the way, no matter how often they change locations. The problem is that he tries to act like nothing is wrong and won't show the notes to Jane. She gets fed up with it and heads home realizing that their relationship is probably over. Luckily she has her book store's opening and the upcoming birth of Zeb's tw...more
Molly Harper's Jane Jameson is absolutely adorable--snark and sass and all things nice. She starts off the book by breaking things off with Gabriel. Or did she? She's not sure. To occupy herself instead of moping about, she focuses on re-opening the bookstore she inherited from Mr. Wainwright and joins Half-Moon Hollow's Chamber of Commerce, where she gets roped in by blonde-cheerleader-from-hell-turned-chamber-president to get donations for their charity event. Jane's already regretting signing...more
This is the final book in the Jane Jameson trilogy by Harper. It was a great conclusion to the trilogy and nicely wrapped up all of the outstanding plot points.
As in book 2 Jane is dealing with a lot in this book. Her and Gabriel are on the outs after he fantastically screws up their whirlwind tour of Europe. When Jane returns after getting a call her bookshop has been broken in to, she finds Zeb and Jolene pregnant, her employer's mysterious nephew returned on a mission Jane can't figure out, a...more

I was kind of debating whether to award this 3 or 4 stars, but I went with 4 in light of the hilarity. =)
I was actually looking forward to this book quite a lot - the sneak peek at the end of the previous one left me curious as to what would happen with Gabriel and Jane.
This book focuses a lot more on their relationship, something I found a little lacking in the previous books. These books pull me more because of the humour than the romance, which has always come across a little flat. I've alway...more

In this 3rd installment in the Jane Jameson series we are focused on Gabriel’s secret from Book#2 (Nice Girls Don’t Date Dead Men).
Jane & Gabriel have decided to take some time to travel. But as the get underway Gabriel keeps getting strange letters at every hotel room & secret phone calls.

I swear this is my new favorite comfort series.
This is the third book in the Jane Jameson series and so far, the best. Jane has settled down somewhat into her new role as Vampire/Business Owner/Trouble Magnet, and has come to terms with her life. The only thing she's still unsure of is her relationship with Gabriel.

I don't know why it took me so long to read this book when this series has been great from the beginning. I think with the release of Nice Girls Don't Bite Their Neighbors this past week I wanted to get caught up.
This series has always been refreshing to me. It's very light-hearted and not full of all the angst that some other books in this genre have. Yes, bad things happen to Jane, but when Molly Harper writes the wallowing scenes it's with a sense of humor which is very important.

I'm really enjoying this Jane Jameson series. This third book, Nice Girls Don't Live Forever is probably my favourite so far. There was a lot of character development and a captivating story line. I loved it.

Brussels is a city I particularly dislike, so it felt as extra punishment for Gabriel as Jane leaves him alone in their hotel room there because he's being a horrible company and refuses to tell her what's going on. What a way to fulfil her dream of travelling around the world! Back to the Half-Moon Hollow without a boyfriend, Jane finds that her book shop is ready to open and all her friends are there to help her get back on her feet. But strange things keep happening and Jolene is pregnant, wh...more
I've been wanting to read something fun and that is what attracted me to the Jane Jameson series. However, one of my biggest problems in any book is main characters who 'allow' themselves to be victim or victimized. This is starting to be a trend with this series and it is truly getting on my last nerve!

I am addicted to listening to these books via audiobook. I am not sure if I read themin a book, if all of the funny, quirkiness of the characters and their southern drawls would come through. But I listened to these at work and in my car and found myself laughing out loud time after time. As is true with all of Molly Harper's books I think. Amanda Ronconi (spelling??) narrates these and is AWESOME! Perfect voices.

Really a 3.5, but not quite a 4 for me. I liked this one much better than book 2. I felt like Jane was getting totally walked all over in book 2, as was every one else she knew, and it really frustrated me. I was concerned for a while in this one, but things got much better. Gabriel is still a pretty big wuss in this one. A good-looking wuss, but spineless nevertheless. He's so wrapped up in whatever his secret is that the doesn't even tell Jane that she's in danger. Maybe he thought he could ha...more
This is a fun series and I think this was the best one yet. There's a lot going on as Jane opens her new store and she and Gabriel try to get a handle on their relationship. Zeb and Jolene start a family. Andrea and Dick are a couple now and Dick's become a much more likeable character.

Oh Gabriel. Don’t you know anything about girls, especially Jane? You should just tell her what’s going on instead of having her freak out and think your cheating on her – especially when you’re in a beautiful hotel room in Brussels. Quit with the over-protectiveness already.
As we begin the third of Jane’s tales, we discover that she may or may not have been dumped by Gabriel as she leave him in Brussels to deal with a break-in at the shop. She also has to help deal with Jolene’s impending pregn...more
