In a sizzling new Argeneau novel from New York Times best-selling author Lynsay Sands, an impulsive rescue pairs a sexy immortal with the woman made to be his for eternity.
Abigail Forsythe's life hasn't been easy lately. Still, if there's one thing guaranteed to take her mind off an empty bank account and abandoned dreams, it's a naked man locked in a plane's cargo hold. A very big, incredibly gorgeous naked man. And when instinct prompts her to free him, Abigail must rely on this stranger for survival - a stranger who leaves her thrumming with need every time they touch.
Tomasso Notte knows he's found his life mate in Abigail. Now he just has to hold on to her. They're miles from civilization, hunted by his kidnappers. Abigail has no idea of Tomasso's abilities or of how intensely pleasurable their unique connection can be. But he's about to show her, beginning with one wild, hot, immortal night.

A few months ago I decided to bite the bullet and try the Argeneau Series by Lynsay Sands. By that I mean, it’s really hard to begin a series that has so many books already, but I did. And I ended up really happy that I had done so. Starting this far in didn’t bother me at all, although between book 23, Runaway Vampire, and this one, I did read book 2 to get some background. I also have book 1 in my tbr stack. Yes, I know I read them out of order. I was never confused, so that was a plus. This book really does go hand in hand with Runaway Vampire because Italian twins Dante and Tomasso were kidnapped in that one. That book ended up being Dante’s story after he escapes. This book is what happens to Tomasso.
Abigail is an mildly overweight medical school drop out due to sedentary time spent nursing her mother through her cancer. Now alone in the world except for her best friend Jet, she goes to visit him. Jet is a new cargo plane pilot and he decides to take Abigail with him on a flight to South America so they can spend some time together away from it all. So she secretly boards a flight that has some criminal types along for the ride. When she finds that she’s in the cargo hold with a barred cell holding an unconscious, chained, and nude man, she decides she needs to help, especially when she realizes that the man is a kidnap victim. What she doesn’t realize is that Tomasso is a vampire.
The author has given these vampires their own world building and this group lives in Toronto and works with their own corporation, most of the time. They are immortal and must drink blood through their fangs-from bags. When someone is turned to vampire, they end up being a pretty much their perfect self as far at looks. Old? You’re young again. Overweight? Not anymore. In addition, there’s an interesting backstory about how these vampires came to be. I also think that Abigail’s character is nicely drawn by the author and she was my favorite of the book. She gave up becoming a doctor in order to take care of her mother and used all of her college fund to pay off her mothers medical bills. And she ended up in some crazy situations thanks to Tomasso. Tomasso is very handsome and very Italian. He is a strong man, one that works for the Argeneau Corporation, and he loves with all his heart-once he meets his mate in Abigail.
I listened instead of read this book.I thought the voices were done well and the narration by Lisa Larsen kept me listening. I enjoyed the whole thing which I am sure is at least partially due to her excellent narration, although I am really loving all these books by Lynsay Sands. I would definitely be up to for listening to anything else she narrates.
This was pretty much a thrill ride for a large portion of the read. Whether they are escaping from the villains in an unusual manner, or being stalked by the villains, this book kept me listening pretty much non-stop. There’s plenty of murder and mayhem to be had, along with a dose of sexy times. This is one I would recommend to all adult paranormal romance readers, especially ones that enjoy a suspenseful story.

  My Review |

I’m Lorna and I live in Maryland. Since retiring, I spend my time mostly reading and reviewing books. My favorite reads are Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy, and Young Adult. I read a lot of indie books in addition to traditionally published books. Favorite paranormal creature? Vampires, but I am really liking werewolves more everyday.
I’ve seen this series around for a while. I’ve thought about trying it, but so many books. I’m a stickler for reading books in order. I think of all the series that I’ve read, I’ve only read 2 or 3 out of order. Glad you’re enjoying this series.

I usually don’t like to read out of order either, but the book prior to this one was on a good sale and the premise sounded so good I bought it and immediately read it. This one featured his twin and was kind of the other half of the puzzle from the first one so I read it too. And really I had no problems with what was going on at all.

Sometimes fast paced books are just what you need. This sounds like such a fun and interesting series. I really need to try it and the author! Wonderful review. š

It really has been a fun series so far-3 books read 20 more to go! I did get several at the used bookstore recently so that helps š

I have one or two of these books but always hesitated to begin this far in. I am glad it worked for you!
kimbacaffeinate recently posted…The Burning Page by Genevieve Cogman
I agree, I hesitated too, until I found a great sale on the prior book to this one and couldn’t pass it up as it sounded so good and it really was. Just have 20 more to go now š

I also want to tackle this series as well, Lorna. And it’s great that you’re able to read them out of order and still be in the loop. 23 books! That’s a lot. Whelp.
Joy // Joyousreads recently posted…Little Heaven by Nick Cutter: Review And Giveaway
Yes it is a lot, but I am betting she gets more readers every time she releases a new one. And any of the ones I read could actually standalone, although this one does go hand in hand with book 22.

I read A Quick Bite a long, long time ago and I have no idea why I haven’t continued this series. Maybe because there’s so many books?!? š This one sounds great though, Lorna. I already love Abigail since she was selfless enough to give up her life, at least temporarily, to take care of her mom AND she took it upon herself to aid Tomasso. I’ll have to see if my library carries this series in audio…that’d be a great way to get back to the series and maybe finish it in the next 5 years! *hahaha*

5 years? It would probably take me double that time. But I am just going to read what I can and not worry about it. I am usually not like that but I have really enjoyed the ones I have read and haven’t been worried I was missing something or out of the loop on anything. I did really enjoy listening to this one š

My sister likes this series, so I binge read them this summer. I haven’t read this latest one yet, but it sounds good! The twins are great characters! I think you did it right, starting with book two. One doesn’t have much action. The mystery is pretty funny though unintentionally so.
Molly Mortensen recently posted…Iām still here!
Oh so the first one isn’t that great? I really didn’t do it on purpose, just forgot that I had bought the first two and started reading one of them that came up on my Kindle when I was looking through my Kindle. I do want to get to it soon though š And yes, I loved the twins!

I have wanted to try this series too but I am like you leery about jumping in with a series with so many reads, except I can’t start it where it’s at I have to start at book one…lol. I have book one in paperback and I have had it for several years…shakes head…sounds like it’s a good series and I should give it a try. š
Stormi Johnson recently posted…Audiobook review of Crime on the Fens
It’s definitely a fun series and like I said, it didn’t bother me to jump in where I did. If you already have book one I would definitely read it if I were you š
Lorna recently posted…Audiobook Review: Immortal Nights by Lynsay Sands (@Mollykatie112, @LynsaySands, @HarperAudio)
I love this series. One of my favorites.
Mary Kirkland recently posted…Review: Daily Goodie Box
I can see why! It’s been really fun to read so far for me š
Lorna recently posted…Audiobook Review: Immortal Nights by Lynsay Sands (@Mollykatie112, @LynsaySands, @HarperAudio)
I get intimidated by series that are far along. I have the first book in this series.
Haha! Love how you jumped right in and it worked for you. I look forward to checking out this different vampire world.
Sophia Rose recently posted…Worth the Wait by Claudia Connors
I know what you mean, 23 books is a lot! But when you hear about a series over and over and then have a chance to buy one for a super inexpensive price, I couldn’t pass it up and I am so glad I gave it a try š
Lorna recently posted…Audiobook Review: Immortal Nights by Lynsay Sands (@Mollykatie112, @LynsaySands, @HarperAudio)
I have read a book here, and a book there š
blodeuedd recently posted…True North – Liora Blake
Yes, because they can really standalone I think š
Lorna recently posted…Audiobook Review: Immortal Nights by Lynsay Sands (@Mollykatie112, @LynsaySands, @HarperAudio)
Yep, another reason I need to start this series. I am VERY woefully behind. š I may have to catch up via audio… hm… š

I have been really enjoying the ones I have read and I didn’t need to read them in order. I’ve bought several at the used bookstore and they aren’t in any kind of order, but I don’t think I’ll wait to read them in order. I still have book one to read in my tbr. Don’t you wish there was more time to get to the ones you want to read in your tbr?
Lorna recently posted…Review: Fangs and Fennel by Shannon Mayer
I read the first book in this series once, but never continued. It sure is difficult to start a series as long as this one. That’s nice you could read the out of order without any trouble. Glad to hear you enjoyed this one.
Lola recently posted…Sunday Post #213
Thanks! I really have been enjoying them-at least the three I’ve read so far. I plan to continue when I have time š
