Toni is a human on a mission, she must prove vampires are real to save her friend. her friend was attacked and left to spew crazies out for all to hear. So Toni the dumb dumb goes back to the same spot to catch some ? Guess what happens... She is attacked ! Shocking isn't it. Duh ! So there she is getting her body chewed and sucked when a kilted god saves her. Oh sure I might have pulled and big idiot move for that savior too so she's forgiven. They give her a choice work for them or have your memory removed. She chooses to keep her memory so she can get her proof. She goes through her days conniving how to catch them on tape, slowly they start to look less evil. One of them young Ian who doesn't look 15 anymore is looking like a prime piece of vampire man wrapped in a soft sexy kilt. He knows she hiding something so he hunts, she wants proof so she digs, and somehow they end up getting closer. She is snarky and prickly he is patient and busy with his own deal.
Ian, all grown up and hot as can be. Women are drooling, screaming and nearly rioting to grab a date with him when he signs up with a dating website.He thinks a vamp woman would fit best for a life long love, no humans. Never say never dude. So little Toni the thorn in his side is looking pretty good and smells better. He fights his attraction, she is not for him. But she's the one who gives him kilt lift.
Fun, snark, love, fighting, lust and bitting. Let the games begin as this vampire series gets underway for another Christmas time ball. Enjoyable, good narration and great pacing with a HEA

More of the same, if you can believe it.
Longer review to come.

I normally do not read a series out of order, but this was recommended by @bandherbooks (twitter) and the esteemed David Duchoveny the Spoopy Chaise Skeleton, so how could I not?
And as promised by DDTSCK, it WAS the perfect book to transition from Spooktober reading to the holiday reading season.
It did take me a bit to get the hang of the world that was built, seeing as how I jumped into the middle of a series, but the author did a good job giving brief context to situations specific to this universe.
I'm definitely going to need to go start back at book 1 and read the rest.

skimmed through quite a bit of it. I just couldn't get into the characters like I have with her previous books.

All I want for Christmas is a Vampire named Ian. Very sexy! Finally a woman that's kick ass and it isn't scared. I don't know who'll be the main vampire in the next installment but I hope we keep seeing the rest of the couples from the past books in future books.

It’s the pain we endure that makes us strong.
Toni’s roommate Sabrina was brutally attacked by vampires and then placed in a psych hospital for talking about her attack. Toni goes back to the park where Sabrina was attacked, proceeds to be attacked by the bad guys, saved by the good guys, and given a job as a daytime guard.
Ian was turned at 15 and has spent centuries looking like jailbait. He took some secret serum that made him age up to his mid twenties. So now he’s ready to find his true love. Or date. Or both.
He’s suspicious of Toni, rightfully so, since she intends to tell the world vampires exist to free her friend.
I wish I could have liked Toni, but I didn’t. I liked Ian. I hate I haven’t liked this series, because I really have enjoyed the author’s The Embraced series. So if you haven’t tried her books, I’d just skip this one and read How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days.
