Betts (Knock Me for a Loop) sets three Christmas-themed vampire romance novellas in an alternate modern-day Boston. The strongest is “A Vampire in Her Stocking,” in which matchmaker Angelina Ricci presents an unexpected gift to love-besotted vamp Vivian Harrison: Viv’s adored boss, who’s saved from a devastating illness when Angelina turns him into an unwilling bloodsucker. “All I Vant for Christmas” involves a human party planner, a wealthy vampire, and a mansion that needs to be decorated from crypt to attic. The weakest entry is “It’s a Wonderful Bite,” in which Angelina longs for a proposal from her lover after 80-something years of undead, unwed bliss. There’s far more than kissing going on beneath the mistletoe, making this stocking stuffer most suitable for raunch-minded paranormal romance fans.

Linked by the creative activities of Angelina Ricci, successful owner of the popular vampire dating agency Love Bites, this trio of sensual vampire novellas is just the thing for readers who like their holiday romances with a paranormal touch. A human party planner is sent by Angelina to help a Christmas-loving vampire with his holiday plans and falls for him in All I Vant for Christmas; a vampire in love with her dying boss is given a surprise Christmas present by Angelina in A Vampire in Her Stocking; and our matchmaker learns what her life would have been like if she'd never been turned in It's a Wonderful Bite. VERDICT Inventive, gently humorous, and fast paced, this steamy paranormal anthology offers an alternative to the typical holiday fare; perfect for readers who want their romances on the edgy side. Betts (Knock Me for a Loop) lives in Kylertown, PA.
