Toni Davis's Christmas wish list

1. Springing my best friend from the psych ward.

2. Living somewhere that doesn't have coffins in the basement. Occupied coffins.

3. Finding Mr. Right. Please make him tall, dark, handsome, and alive.

This Christmas isn't so merry for Toni. Her best friend's been locked up in a mental hospital ever since she told the police she was attacked by vampires, and the only way for Toni to get her out is to prove that bloodsuckers really do exist. So she's taken a job as a bodyguard for the Undead, but she gets more than she bargained for, especially when she meets Ian MacPhie, a Scottish rascal looking for Ms. Right.

Although Ian's nearly five centuries old, he looks and acts like a twenty-seven-year-old hunk.

How can a dead man be so damn sexy? Could Mr. Wrong be Mr. Right? One forbidden kiss could lead to an eternity of passion—and all it takes is one moment under the mistletoe . . .

    I have read many of her books and loved every one. The vamps are sexy and funny. The ladies are smart, strong and funny. I can't wait for Dr. Fang to find his mate. With the invention of synthetic blood, they no longer need to bite to survive. They need to keep their secrets while still helping humans and fighting the malcontents. These books are great fun!

    This review concerns the whole series.
    I ve read better since then, but i have to say that when i started reading the series "Love at stake", i got completly caught up in it. The story is quite interesting, funny, coherent, very entertaining and moreish. The characters personalties and physics as well as the places, scenes and actions are all well described and easy to picture, espacially the sex scenes, which i particularly appreciated! LOL! And literally loved the kilts!
    I haven't found any repetitions or spelling mistakes (not that i m an expert anyway) as i have in some other books.
    Despite the emotional rollercoaster effect that the books had on me , i found a bit odd that some whatever hundred years old bad ass vampires who had all been single for all their life would all of a sudden all fall madly in love one after the other, just like that at first sight, and would commit to an eternal relationship with a mate after not even a week sometimes. But i guess it s part of the game! Yeah i liked it.

    Toni is the newest victim of the Malcontents and the newest Day Guard for the Good Vampires. Then she runs into the hot vampire Ian and boy is he hot in his kilt. Toni knows she has a plan, she has to get Sabrina out of the psych ward and to prove vampires exist. She can't tell Ian what is going on and Ian knows she is hiding something. With the war with the Malcontents heating up can Ian convince Toni that there is more than humans and vampires to consider and that she must follow her heart? Great read and I loved Ian and Toni! Another hit from Kerrelyn Sparks in the Love at Stake Series.

    This book had a funny premise so I thought I would try it from the regular angst riddled regular vampires. I was so excited that I read it in six hours. I love Shanna and Roman. It was funny and really interesting. The story (if you can believe a romance novel has one) expands through the remainder of the series. I love how all the characters show up in future books so you can always keep up with this original couple. I also liked how the main vampire has a huge support network. The vampires in this series are pretty traditional of modern vamp storytelling (stake through the heart turns to dust, sleeps during the day, drinks blood and burns in sunlight) so that was a little disappointing. I was looking for a 24/7 vamp that was invincible like the legendary vamps. Either way I wasn't disappointed in the story even though it was predictable. I recommended it to my friends and we're all hooked.
  • Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2009
    I know it's strange to try and find logic in reading a romance novel about vampires and other interesting wild animals, but I do expect a vampire romance to make some logical sense. Although an interesting read, it was also a frustrating read. This is the second book I've read by Ms. Sparks and, unfortunately, it's like a repeat of the first book. In the first few chapters of the book, Ian was depicted as immature and kept stumbling over his feet due to his rapid 12-day-growth spurt which made him 12 years older. Issue #1: Ian was almost 500 years old; Dougal came across as more mature. #2 Ian had his new body for well over a year, there should not have been any stumbling over feet. If anything, I could understand if he experienced a greater issue trying to fight and balance his sword because of his body change.

    The fact that the Vamps hired Toni to guard them during the day is just ridiculous. I also felt she was untrustworthy. No matter how the author put a spin on it, Toni spoke and shared Vamp information too freely. The Vamps security as a whole was extremely amateur at best. The fact that they had a huge Christmas party after an explosion and ransacking of one of their townhomes was idiotic. The logic behind the "party must go on" attitude was that the Malcontents wouldn't try anything because there would be a lot of Vamps in attendance. I would say that's the perfect opportunity for another bomb!!!

    Lastly, but not least, this book was too predictable. And I ABSOLUTELY hate the way she depicts Phineas as this 1970's jive talking black guy. Kerrelyn, black people do not go around high-fiving people as a greeting. Since Phineas was a drug dealer in his previous life, his greeting should have been described as a slight lifting of his chin.

    Overall, the author has a good writing style, but her books are too fluff, fluff and doesn't do much in the make sense arena. However, there is humor in her books. So if you want a light vampire romance with humor and romance these are the books for you.

    I like this book. I think this the best book of love at books. i wish I was Toni because mind control work on her and at the end of the vamp power but still human. This book is so rommmic. I love book. I can’t put the book down. All other people were in this book. This book there is human who work for vamps as a day guard and her friend is in matel hospital. her name is Toni and meets a vamp name Ian. If u like vampire book and u are adult, u will like this book. It was very decide, so you are not adult to not read it. The decide the sex scene in very detail.

    2.0 out of 5 stars The book may be good with others in the series but not as a standalone
    Reviewed in Australia on December 3, 2019
    To be clear - this is not a bad book. I was totally crushed that it wasn't a Christmas story and only had the barest of associations to the holiday. With a title like this I defintely anticipated for Christmas and less traditional novel 😪.

    I have not read the others in the series so I was playing catchup on the world. I liked Constantine and some of the characters but I don't know that I found their emotional deoth realistic. There were many scenes in the novel where I thought the characters reaction was inconsistent with the sequence of events which pulled me out of the narrative.

    While the book was not bad, I can't say I enjoyed it. I would not recommend this books to others unless they had read the author and the series before.

    Ian MacPhie wurde als 16-jähriger Knabe zum Vampir gewandelt. Dadurch ist er seit 500-nochwas Jahren im Körper eines Jugendlichen gefangen und sieht auch so jung aus. Zuvor war er Bodygard in Romans Harem. Er kehrt von Texas, wo er Jean-Luc beschützte, nach New York zurück. Dort erkennt man ihn jedoch fast nicht mehr, weil er in Texas eine Droge eingenommen hat, die es ihm möglich machte am Tag wach zu sein. Die Nebenwirkung der Droge macht ihn aber auch für jeden Tag der Einnahme um ein Jahr älter. Er wünscht sich nichts mehr auf der Welt, als ebenso die große Liebe zu finden, wie sie Roman, Jean-Luc und Angus schon gefunden haben.

    Durch eine Kontaktanzeige hofft er die richtige Vampirfrau zu treffen. Was er aber antrifft, ist eine sterbliche Leibwächterin (Toni) in Romans Stadthaus, die augenscheinlich eingebrochen ist. Er will zwar keine Sterbliche kann sich aber die gegenseite Faszination nicht erklären. Toni hat mit Vampiren so ihre Probleme, weil sie von den Malcontens angegriffen wurde.

    Toni und Ian landen auf einer Achterbahn der Gefühle. Toni hasst die Vamps eigentlich - beschützt sie aber tags über. Ian will eine Vampfrau - verliebt sich aber immer mehr in Toni. Hinzu kommt der immer währende Kampf mit den bösen Vamps, die Ians Droge haben wollen, um die Guten am Tag zu vernichten.

    Diese Geschichte ist wie schon die anderen aus dieser Reihe mit unglaublich viel Gefühl geschrieben. Man möchte mit Toni weinen, als sie bei einer Predigt emotional zusammen bricht und gleichzeitig hat die Story super viel Humor. Erwähnte ich schon, dass sie auch sexy ist? Spitzenklasse!!
