Melynda Kerpanik is lovely, strong and capable. She is not the kind of woman that breaks a heel and falls down so the bad guy can catch her. These qualities of strength are what endeared me to her from the moment that I met her on page one. She is also extremely funny in a way that made me laugh. I liked her. I enjoyed her company and I immediately missed her when the book was done.

Valentine Drakul is plain and simply HOTT in that dark and moody vampire type way. But there is something light, airy, naturally sexy and fun about Valentine that pulled him into a different realm for me. Torn between what he is and what he longs to be (human), Valentine is the perfect mixture of man and night creature. Valentine would be oh so sexy whether he was human or a vampire. Combined, and slightly tortured, he’s irresistible.

And then there’s Leo Van Helsing—who appealed to me even though I knew I should be running away from him at light speed. There is just something about a gorgeous guy who can get all up in your head…

Help! I’m falling For The Vampire Next Door is filled with likeable characters and hot, sensual romance between two people that I found myself really rooting for. Ms. Celine Chattillon did a marvelous job of drawing me into Val and Mel’s world. The side characters are just as interesting in their own ways as the main characters.

Maybe I’m just bad…but the bad guy in this tale did interesting things to my mind. I’d be sensible enough to run from him, but I may have snapped that heel and took a tumble on purpose so he could catch me. I’d be sorry, oh yes…but oh well

I can’t give Help! I’m Falling For The Vampire Next Door stars or angels or cups or anything, but I can tell you this…I really enjoyed this book.--erotic romance author Raquel Taylor

Celine Chatillon begins the "Paranormal Lovers of St. Louis" series with a book that is bound to become a classic. Picking up the story of the Drakula vampires, Ms. Chatillon adds a delicious twist on Van Helsing's story that will really surprise the reader. Folded into this wonderful story the reader will find generous amounts of humor that will keep the readers turning the pages. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. --Candy for eCataRomance.com (5 stars)

This book is great fun with snappy dialog, biker babes, limousines, new age hippies and hot sex rolled into one; there is something for everyone. I laughed out loud, sat on the edge of my seat, fanned myself vigorously, and sighed with relief while reading these pages. What starts out as a tender love story ends with a fight for their very lives. Misinformation, mind-control, false-memory implantation, psycho-suggestion and pseudo-seduction were the tools of a mad man bent on destruction. It escalates to kidnapping and forced bondage with the threat of violence. There is all kinds of action, whether it be sexual or face-kicking with wooden stakes, it is always exciting. I enjoyed this book. For a light hearted, fun, sexually explicit and exciting read your best choice is Help! I’m Falling For The Vampire Next Door by Celine Chatillon.

Ms. Chatillon crafts a world that you can almost see as you read the story...There were some scenes that made this a bit different from other vampire stories. --Astraea for Enchanted Ramblings(3.5 wands)

HELP I’M FALLING FOR THE VAMPIRE NEXT DOOR is the first in what is sure to be an exciting series. It has action, adventure, suspense and romance all rolled into one plot. Valentine is the sexy and solitary hero who will make readers melt. Melynda is a wonderful heroine with plenty of spunk to match Valentine in every way. There is evil lurking around every corner waiting to destroy any happiness the couple may have. The love scenes are heated and will keep the reader glued to the pages. Celine Chatillon is a terrific author and I can’t wait to see what her next book will bring and the continuation of the PARANORMAL LOVERS OF ST. LOUIS series. (Blue Ribbon Rating: 4.5)--Angel, reviewer for Romance Junkies

The cast of characters comes alive on the pages of this steamy romance from the first sentence. The author doesn’t dally as the story keeps moving with each scene—which is why I engulfed this book in one sitting. The comedy of Celine Chatillon is fantastic and is sprinkled throughout every scene in richly compelling dialogue.--Kim Price for Rumpled Sheets

Just wanted to tell you that I finished the book last night, and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeking out more of your titles in the near future.--Mary, sf reader

A brief excerpt from ...Vampire Next Door

Set-up: Mel returns from a dinner with the villainous Leo Van Helsing...

“Where in the world have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”

Val stomped out of the dark, moonless shadows, grabbing Mel by the elbow as she approached the warehouse’s front door at half past eleven. “And what were you doing all this time riding in a limo?”

“Jealous?” Mel giggled. “It was nothing. Nothing at all. Shelby wanted me to schmooze with some bigwig client so he’d buy into the building. I think he will, too. Shel is going to be sooo pleased with me.”

Val’s nostrils flared. What was that stinking cologne she had on? It smelled like a man’s aftershave--an expensive, yet tawdry, man’s aftershave. Mel reached into her purse and dropped her key then fumbled with the front door lock. “Oops! I think I’ve had too much to drink.”

“It appears so.” He picked up the key along with a matchbook that had fallen beside it. He gave a long whistle. “Whoa. That must have been some major player you had dinner with. You actually ate at the Adam’s Mark Hotel?”

“Well, yeah. He’s staying there for now.”

“Did you give him dessert upstairs afterward?”

She frowned. “Just what are you implying? Oh, that I... No, no. He was a gentleman. A very handsome, very rich and well-connected gentleman. There was no hanky-panky whatsoever. I think.”

“You think?”

The fires within him roared. Val grimaced and clenched his fists at his sides. Another had staked claim to one of his own. That man must die and die horribly. Instinctively his canines grew, forcing him to turn back into the shadows.

“Val, your face!” She gasped. “I’m not all that intoxicated. What’s wrong? You look like you’re experiencing a sudden toothache. Are you all right?”

“I’m fine. It’s my wisdom teeth. They give me trouble.”

Mel approached him and cradled him tenderly into her arms, patting his back. “Poor baby. I bet they hurt awful. I noticed the gum swelling the other night after we... made love. You really ought to see a dentist.”

“How many dentists do you know offer late night hours?”

“Not many. You poor, poor dear.”

She began to kiss his chin and face over and over again, stroking his shoulders and pecs, pressing her warm, womanly curves tight against his muscular frame. Val sighed and relaxed, pulling her deeper into the shadows with him. Leaning against the brick building brought back memories of other secret lovers’ rendezvous long ago on deserted streets and in back alleys. His cock grew hard, throbbing at the thrill of getting caught in the act.

“Hmm, Melynda, have you ever...?”

“Ever?” She paused her assault on his senses and smiled. “Have I ever done it under the moonlight in some back alleyway, you mean?”

“Exactly.” He lowered one dress strap and then another, lowering his lips to each nipple, licking it to full attention. “No one will see us here and the nearest occupied house is a block over.”

She chuckled. “I promise not to shout too loudly if you won’t.”

“No promise.”

Val squeezed her buttocks, rubbing the bulge in his pants against her pussy covered only by the thinnest of cloth. She threw back her head, and a low moan escaped her lithe, lovely throat. He fought off the urge to sink his fangs into the smooth, white flesh and partake of the life-giving liquid contained within.

Mel would give of herself in a human manner, the manner he had always desired to enjoy without corrupting it with his people’s ancient curse. He had vowed to act human, or at least as close an approximation to humanity as he could attain.

He pushed up her skirt and pulled her thong down, greedily fondling her clit. She was hot and wet and ready for the taking. As if reading his mind, she undid his jeans zipper and yanked his pants all the way down to his ankles.

“Hmm, I didn’t have any dessert tonight, by the way.” Mel knelt and nibbled his stiffening cock through the silky material of his boxers before removing the barrier and tantalizing the red, engorged head with her tongue. “Delicious.” He groaned. The cool brick on his backside and the hot breath of his lover on his cock drove him to distraction. If he wasn’t careful, the neighbors would hear them. “I know someone else who’s finger-lickin’ good.”

Val pulled Mel to her feet, simultaneously plunging a tongue into her mouth and a digit deep into her eager pussy. She squealed in delight. He backed her up against the first step of the stoop and laid her down, continuing his assault on her cunt. As their kiss deepened she wrapped her legs about him and speared herself on his erection, drawing it deep within her.

He lifted her up as easily as she were a phantom without substance and took her deeper into the shadows, pinning her against the cool brick wall with his hot cock, madly ramming it harder and harder into her tight passage. His mind went blank and his canines extended. He lightly raked them against the tender flesh of shoulders, drinking in the perfume of her blood. He teetered close to the edge of insanity.

Mel sighed. “Oh, Val, you know exactly how I like it… Fast and hard. And that is the most wonderful sensation on my neck. Bite me, will you?”

His head instantly cleared. “What did you say?”

“I said give me a hickey. It won’t show if I wear a turtleneck for the next week or so. You’re driving me crazy with your nibbling. I’m about to... I will if you...”

“Melynda, I can’t bite you. If I did, I’d...” He couldn’t say the words I wouldn’t stop until I had drained you of all your blood.

“Hmm, that’s okay. Just gum me a little harder.”

Drink, drink! She’s offering herself to you, a willing victim.
