4 Kiss Review: All I Want for Christmas is a Vampire (Love at Stake #5) by Kerrelyn Sparks

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 . . .

My Review:

Ian MacPhie was a young-looking vampire until he took Roman Dragnesti's Stay Awake formula which aged him twelve years.  Ian's problem with the ladies is now reversed. He looks old enough, but feels like a young lad.

Toni Davis is a mortal guard hired by Connor after being attacked by The Malcontents. She's thrust in a world which she barely understands and is determined to give her friend, Sabrina, proof vampires exist.

Ian was so sure he wanted a Lady Vamp for his one true love, but all that changed with meeting Toni. Both Ian and Toni lament the fact the other isn't the right kind of person.

When Sabrina turns up missing from her uncles’, Toni fears the worst. Meanwhile, The Malcontents are stirring up trouble for the Vamps. Will Ian admit his feelings for Toni? Will Toni find Sabrina? What will The Malcontents do next? Your answers await you in All I Want for Christmas is a Vampire.

~~~~~~~~~

Ian is one of my favorite characters in this series so far. All he wants is to find his lady love. Toni is a no-holds-barred type person with a set plan.

The war between The Malcontents and the Vamps is certainly heating up. I thought this book showed just how human the Vamps could be with very real problems. I’m definitely looking forward to next book in the series.
