Publisher's Blurb:
Toni Davis's Christmas wish list1. 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 .Review: I somehow missed this book in the Love At Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks. I have loved all her other books, and this one is no exception. Light, frothy, romantic and just fun, it is typical of her breezy, sweet style and highlights Toni and Ian MacPhie. Ian has just returned to work after taking an aging drug, and for the first time in 500 years he looks like a man and not a teenager. And he's ready for love, but believes he can only have lasting love with another vampire. His friend Vanda writes a profile for Ian on a popular online dating service, but Vanda's profile is a bit.....enthusiastic, and Ian is soon besieged by adoring and desperate women (and a few men) looking for true love (as long it has a big bank account and a Scottish castle).
Toni is a new mortal guard for MacKay Security, and she has a hidden agenda - find proof that vampires really exist in order to save her best friend. But she's drawn to the determined and incredibly sexy Ian, who is suspicious of Toni's motives. Their mutual attraction heats up quickly, and Ian soon agrees to help Toni rescue her best friend Sabrina.
This novel introduces Carlos and the were-panthers to the Love At Stake world, as Toni's neighbor and good friend, who is so much more than he appears to be. Throw in escalating attacks by the Malcontents and the usual rapid-fire battles, wacky scenarios and sweet and sexy love scenes, and this is yet another delightful, light, fast paced book that makes me smile and read late into the night. I love this whole series - each book is a wonderful little treat to a world with a little danger, a little intrigue, lots of wonderful characters, humor and sexy romance, all wrapped up with a happy ending. (But can we please drop the use of the word "rascal" in each book?! LOL)
