Review:
So this book wasn't for me. I don't super remember this book, but I did type up all my thoughts when I read it, so these are those thoughts.

It was all thrusting sex and perky pink nipples and silk wrapped around cocks and a woman who had no personality beyond wanting to love her man no matter what. Two sex scenes in a 90-page book. Those pages could've been used (or more could've been added) to develop the characters, who felt flat. If I don't care about the characters, then I don't care about the sex they're having.

I liked that this was a Christmas Carol retelling, with a vampire, no less! But I feel like it kind of missed the point. *SPOILER* (view spoiler)[the whole reason for Ben's change ended up being to save and be with the woman he loved. Which made everything else he was shown by his three visitors seem kinda pointless. Simone just could've come back to him and he'd have behaved better again, without the need for everything else. And if he was only willing to be better because Simone was around, did he even truly change? (hide spoiler)] *END SPOILER* Then again, maybe the author wasn't trying to portray that and just wanted to use the three visitors idea.

There was one sort-of plot hole thing that annoyed me. *SPOILER* (view spoiler)[Ben almost killed an innocent person, but that would've been so easily remedied. They literally just explained that he could use his powers to look into people's memories. So he would find victims of bad people and look into their memories in order to find his own victims (the bad people). So why wouldn't he have just looked into the memories of the bad people to confirm their badness? (hide spoiler)] *END SPOILER*

Overall, a little too much sex and not enough story or character development for me, but we all have different taste, so that doesn't mean this won't be a quick, enjoyable Christmas romance for other readers.
