This week’s neglected book

All I Want for Christmas is a Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks

Series: Love at Stake #5
Publication Date: October 16, 2008
Publisher: HarperCollins – Avon

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 . . .

Why did I add All I Want for Christmas is a Vampire to my bookshelf?
I have had this book on my Kindle since December 2011 but for some reason haven’t worked it into my reading schedule yet.  I think that I might have bought this on sale without realizing it was a part of a series.  I have read and enjoyed some of this author’s more recent work so I am hoping to get started with this series sometime in the near future.

What are your thoughts? Have you read this book?  Would you recommend it to others?

  1. I think I read one book in this series when I first discovered Goodreads but I don't remember which one. This was before I got switched off from romance books!

  2. I have this one and not read it yet. I think I'll dust it off. I'm trying hard to read older books on my list. T=Love the cover!

  3. I really enjoy this author. I haven't read this series or much vampire stuff recently. I'm more about magic and fantasy. But this is a series I want to try because I enjoy the author. (Winter of the Witch is one of my favorites btw!) Anne – Books of My Heart

  4. I have not read this book, but I have books on my TBR from 2011 too. If this is part of a series at least all the books must e out or a good portion of them. Love reading books in a series one right after the other. When I have time of course.

    Hope the Holidays are treading you well, Carole. Just doing some catch up before the next one is upon us! 🙂
