I've finished "Eat Prey Love" the 9th book in her Love at Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks.

Product Description

Wanted: Bride. Must love children. Mortals need not apply.

Carlos Panterra is looking for a mate, a woman who will love and care for the young orphans he's recently taken under his wing (or paw, as the case may be). When the shape shifter spies the beautiful Caitlyn, it's like sunshine amidst the darkness. At last, he's found the perfect woman, except . . .

Caitlyn Whelan is mortal. Worse, her father is the head of a CIA agency bent on hunting the undead. Still, Caitlyn knows that Carlos is the man for her, shape shifter or not. So she jumps at the chance when her sister offers her a job to work with him, determined to show Carlos their attraction is more than just animal magnetism. But danger lurks in the night, and their unleashed, untamed passion might just get them both killed . . .

About the Author

Kerrelyn Sparks's first paranormal romance, How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire, flew out of the bat cave in 2005 and survived three weeks on the USA Today Bestseller list. In 2006, Vamps and the City became the second book in the Love At Stake series. Kerrelyn lives in the Greater Houston area with her husband and brilliant children. At this time, there are no vampires in her family. Werewolves are another matter entirely.

My Review:

I highly recomend reading this series if you love fast paced and hilarious paranormal books with great characters and some unforgettable one-liners!

Caitlyn Whelan is a former former state department employee who jumps at the chance to reconnect with her older sister Shanna.  She discovers a new world of vampires and shapeshifters when she arrives at her nephew's birthday party (she didn't know Shanna had married a vamp and had two children) and vows to protect them.  She has a talent for learning languages (psycholinguistic) talent in a couple of minutes and cats and dogs and even people seem to be attracted to her because they think she can help them!

Caitlyn wants Carlos Panterra the instant she seems and is determined to have him at any cost!  She decides to take a job at MacKay Security and Investigations and is totally helpless in the fighting aspect of the job.  Loved the scenes where she is aiming for the enemies chest but always get them in groin (ouch) even though it's a dummy's pecker!  I was laughing so hard!

Carlos is tormented by his attraction to Caitlyn because he's on the search for were-panther mate to help save their species and the loss of his family and clan.  He's never been as attracted to another women as much as he's to Caitlyn but he's determined to stick to his plan. 

I admire that Caitlyn is determined to get Carlos to loss his control and acknowledge their attraction.  When she finally wears him down (you can feel the hot steam rising in the air)!

I really loved the sexual bantering between them because it was quite entertaining and sexy!

4.5/5

Thanks Shannon from HarperCollins Canada for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!

All I Want for Christmas Is a Vampire (Love at Stake, Book 5)

I've finished reading "All I Want for Christmas is a Vampire" the 5th book in her Love at Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks.

Product Description

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:

I highly recommend this series if you like light and fun paranormals!

I enjoyed this book because of the romance between Ian and Toni (a vamp and human who seem to hate each other on sight but really are attracted to each other but won't admit it)!  Once they got to know each other and fell in love it was sweet!

Phineas is a hoot as usual and I will quote a line of his later!

Carlos plays a big part and you find out his secret!

I really like Constatine (sp!) and I'm glad that he likes to take care of people and you find out what his special powers are!

5/5
