I liked this collection of short stories. I've never read anything by this author before. She did a good job of creating a world where vampires exist, and humans are aware of their existence. All three love stories involve a different situation where romance with a vampire is involved. The first one is a story between a vampire and a human and deals with the dynamics that exist with the misperceptions and fears the human has of the vampire world/culture and the difficulties this creates for cultivating a relationship between them. The second involves the conversion of a human to a vampire and how the romantic relationship weathers this change. The third story gives an opportunity for a vampire to see what it would be like for her romantic relationship if she had never become a vampire. All three stories give good insight into problems and issues that most relationships face, just with the twist of involving vampires. The stories flow together since they are all at Christmas time and have a common character, a matchmaking vampire who is friends with all the characters.

I liked her stories so much that I looked up the list of her books. I was very surprised to see that her books up to this point are not paranormal romances. I hope to see her write some books with the paranormal romance theme in the future because she did a good job with this genre in this book.
