Vincent Dilorenzo is an Immaculate Vampire (born Vampire) and has always hated the Christmas Holidays. So, just "how" did he get talked into organizing and running the church charity drive by two young brothers that belong to the boys club where he volunteers?

Vincent calls for the help of his fellow vampire friends...twins Matthew and Adam and their wives Dulcie and Mara.... because this arrogant, sexy Vampire has no idea where to start or what to do. His friends have told him before that Vincent's attitude towards Christmas would put Mr. Scrooge to shame. And now he is organizing a church charity drive? Yeah...okay.

During the organizing of the charity drive they find there is another Vampire Immaculate running around the streets scaring poor unsuspecting women. They band together to capture this renegade vampire and drive him from their city. Vincent finds out that this renegade vampire is his long time nemesis, Seraphimus.

Will Vincent and his friends be able to stop this renegade Vampire from stalking the women in their city? Is there a woman out there strong enough to tame arrogant, sexy Vincent?

The Holiday Stalking is a fun quick read written by author Kate Hill. Vincent is the regular bad boy type that you want to hate but just can't help loving. While this story is short, Ms Hill has done a wonderful job in telling this story and describing the characters so that when you come to the end you are not left with the feeling that you are missing something. The only thing that I didn't like was...well...was that the story was so short. *g* Vincent was just one of those types of men that you want to hit one moment and then jump on and kiss him senseless the next. This is a great short vampire story that I highly recommend people to read.

Dulcie was at the sixtieth birthday party of her friend's dad and was being introduced to the guests when she first saw him: Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome. Dulcie followed her friend, Lisa, around the room and after being introduced to this uncle and that cousin it was finally time to be introduced to the handsome, sexy man that caught her attention earlier. His name was Matthew and he was Lisa's handsome, restrained and brilliant older brother. Matthew was the top hematologist in his field discovering cures for blood diseases. Being left alone with him, Dulcie tries to entice him but to her dismay he takes off in a hurry and without a backwards glance, leaves the birthday party. *Sigh* Just what is a woman, a vampire, to do when faced with such things? Go after what she wants that's what.

Matthew Winter, deep down knew what he was and held a tight rein on his animalistic ways and desires.... afraid of what would happen and what he would do if that control slipped at all. He spent most of his time alone in his lab at the local university research center. And that was just the way he wanted it, until Dulcie breezed into his life with such enthusiasm.

They were of the same kind and Dulcie tries to show him that he has nothing to be afraid of being a vampire. After a few months they become engaged.... but there is an evil force lurking about...intent on taking Dulcie away from Matthew and keeping her for himself. Will Matthew be able to come to grips with his untested powers he has being a vampire? Will he be able to protect his soulmate against this evil force threatening them?

The Blood Doctor is a quick, wonderful, exciting read. Author Kate Hill, takes us on a journey of soulmates meeting...hot, steamy, animalistic sex and some suspense to keep you on your toes. Even though The Blood Doctor is quite short, Ms Hill does very well in showing the hero's and heroine's characteristics and beliefs and makes sure that once you get to the end, you are not left wondering or feeling that you missed out on something. This is one story I recommend for all of you who like vampire romances.
