  <default_description>&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt; Toni Davis's Christmas wish list &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; 1. Springing my best friend from the psych ward. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; 2. Living somewhere that doesn't have coffins in the basement. Occupied coffins. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; 3. Finding Mr. Right. Please make him tall, dark, handsome, and alive. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt; 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. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Although Ian's nearly five centuries old, he looks and acts like a twenty-seven-year-old hunk. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; 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&#8212;and all it takes is one moment under the mistletoe . . . &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was all hyped up for another incredible vampire novel by Sparks but I was slightly disappointed. I still love it and the rest of the <em>'Love at Stake'</em> series but I find that this 5th novel is lacking in two departments.<br/><br/>First, the plot was underdeveloped. There was no anticipation build-u...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38037243">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't know why I got this book from the library, I must have heard of it from someone. Because just by looking at it and the title I thought it would be too racy, all lusty. But it wasn't that bad, there were two hot scenes, that's all. A little to decriptive for me. But the story line was great a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56528118">more...</a>]]></body>

While I feel I was missing a few things having started the series midstream with this book, I never felt lost, just anxious to learn more of the backstories hinted at with cameos from her other heros.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the 5th book in the series. So, far I have enjoyed reading all of the books in the series. The author writes really fun and exciting vampires. But so far my favorites have been the Scottish Vamps that run the Security firm in the series. They play a major role in each book, but have only bee...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44212651">more...</a>]]></body>

Since it was from my hubby, I read it.  And it was an okay story, but there were a few sex scenes that were very, very detailed.
