Good addition to the series, although all the "super" powers everyone seems to get in this series gets a little old after awhile. The book also feels like it's borrowing themes from other series that I've read, so it kinda makes me feel like maybe this one has run its course. Other than that, it was an overall funny read.

even better than the first, and that takes some doing! This book was fun and playful without losing out on action. A complete joy to read!

The Entire Series is great! Yes, the series can be a bit forumulated but it is still a great read either at the pool or curled up with a latte... Love them, love them!!

Sometimes I feel like a broken record, as each book becomes my favorite in this series. Ian is my favorite vampire by far. To see him come full circle after being stuck in a 15 year old body for so many centuries, made his story unique and heartening. The angst of the hero and heroine did not go overboard, as I didn't find myself rolling my eyes and wishing they would shut up already, like some books I've read. I really enjoy the world Sparks has created for her vampires.

I really enjoyed this book. All of the Love at Stake books have a good twist at the end that makes them better.

I love all of Kerryln Sparks' books I have read. They are romantic and laugh-out-loud funny and charming. I'll be buying all of her books until she stops writing.

Scottish vampire Ian MacPhie has been stuck in his 15 year old body for 500 years. Disgusted because women don't take him seriously, he takes a drug to age himself to 27 years of age. Signing up for an online matchmaking service gets him more women than he can handle. But the only woman he is interested in is the new human who has been hired as a daytime guard. Toni Davis takes a job as a bodyguard for the undead so she can get proof that vampires do exist. But she doesn't expect to actually like the people she is working for...or to fall in love with one of them.
This is the 5th book in the Love at Stake series and I thought it was very entertaining. Kerrelyn Sparks writes a fast paced story with lots of humor. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

Very romantic and funny. If you like vampire books that are not intense and not really scary, then Sparks is the author for you. This whole series has been fantastic.

I love this series...they get better and better
Don't get this book if you loved JR Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, or any other author that does a great job developing characters and storylines. If however you are looking for a quick read with nothing hard to figure out or think about, this book is for you. I just read it and will do my best to promptly forget the disappointment of hours wasted.

I am definitely a book junkie. This is an excellent Series for quick reads or to drop in your purse and take anywhere!!. Love the characters and sometimes you get so caught up in the stories that you end up reading through the night just to finish the book!I already have several books ordered and can not wait for them to get here!!

I enjoyed this book a lot, as I have the others in this series. There really is not that much emphasis on the Christmas holiday, so don't pass over this book just because that season is past. Great series!
This is the first book I've read in this series and I'm looking forward to reading the others.

Ian, aged 12 years since taking the stay-awake drug, no longer looks 15, wants to find his special lady. Owner of the Horny Devil nightclub, Vanda, writes an over-powering profile for him that frustrates day-guard, Toni, as she answers phone call after phone call. Russian Mal-content, Jedred, seeks the stay-awake drug. Lots of interesting new facts surface in this book. Several of the day-guards are actually were-animals; Howard Barr is a bear; Phil is an Alpha werewolf; Carlos is a were-panther. Toni wants to help her friend prove she's not crazy; enlists Ian's help to free her from asylum; Toni and Ian irritate the heck out of each other until they finally admit their attraction to one another. I love the way the characters from previous books remain in each new book and we are able to see how they are getting along, too.

this was pretty good. I enjoyed reading Ian as a side character, but he felt a little flat as a main character. I was interested in reading how Sparks was going to use the daylight drug Roman developed. As much as I *love* this series, they are getting a bit formulaic. A great read for fans of the series, but don't start with this one.

I really enjoyed this book. I have to give credit where credit is due. Ms. Sparks not only brings romance but she also includes a bit of comedy. I can't wait to see what she writes about for DR. Phang!

I had not read any books in this series and won't read anymore. "Highlander" vamps. Gag me!! I love my vampire stories, but can do without the silly brogue, thank you very much!
