Samantha Willan is a workaholic lawyer. She's grateful for some rest and relaxation in cottage country, and after a recent breakup she wants to stay as far away from romance as possible. Then she meets her irresistible new neighbor. There's something strange and mysterious about his eyes. Is it just her imagination, or are they locked on her neck?
Garrett Mortimer is a rogue hunter. His last assignment united Lucian Argeneau with his lifemate, and Mortimer is hoping this one will be less . . . adventurous. He's here to track down a reported rogue, but fun in the sun is every bloodsucker's nightmare. Worse, he can't seem to get his mind off Samantha, especially when he spies her skinny-dipping in the lake. After eight hundred years as a bachelor, is he ready to turn a volatile attraction into a lasting love affair?
You might want to skip this one... November 22, 2008 I love the majority of Lynsay Sands books but this one isn't one of those. There were so many little things wrong with this book. First off, the prologue...who was Tanya and what happened to her? I'm guessing she was a victim of the "rogue" vampire but I'm still not sure. Were the bites on Sam's neck the result of those flies or was she too bitten by the rogue? Cathy Latimer - was there an actual reason for her to even be in the book or is she going to be a future story? And finally, let's face it...it's hard to romanticize a character who is called Mortimer!
At the back of the book Lynsay mentions that we'll be seeing more of Sam and Mortimer, I'm guessing we'll see her sisters hook up with other immortals and Sam will eventually be turned. Let's just hope their stories are more complete than Sam's.
Great but a few inconsistencies. November 18, 2008 I really liked this book. It left me wondering with the connection that Sam and Mortimer had with their parents and siblings if, perhaps, his brothers wouldn't be her sister's mates. A bit convenient but there has to be some mystical reason that immortals are connected to mortal women. Why not similar fates? As usual the sex was HOT and the romance wonderful.
I saw a few inconsistensies with this book and that's the only reason I didn't give it a five. It tends to pull me right out of a story to read, "she stared at the front of his T-shirt" then moments later read how she unbuttoned said shirt and rand her fingers over his bare chest. Things like that tend to pull me right out of the story and slap me in the face.
Besides the inconsistencies this was a great read and I loved reading about the extended immortal clan, not just the Argeneaus. Plus it was nice to know that there are a few immortals who are just "normal folk". All those rich powerful immortals tend to be a bit intimidating.
Super fun with the Vampires! November 12, 2008 I thoroughly enjoyed the continuation of the Argeneau family chronicles--and meeting new folks within their ranks!
What a disappointment November 7, 2008 I'm an avid Lynsay Sands fan, so it pains me to say that this was the worst book she's ever written. Thin plot, little humor, a male lead with NO back story (usually LS does this well), and no sex till nearly the end of the book. Ms. Sands is known for writing darn good erotic encounters, but don't hold your breath anticipating this one. Worst of all, no happily ever after!
I usually finish one of her books in a day, but this one took me four because I kept getting bored and setting it down.
Here's just one example of how poorly this story was written. The male lead is Garret Mortimer. Not only do all of the characters insist on referring to him as Morty or Mort, the author actually wrote a scene where Samantha tells him he doesn't seem like a Garret to her, and that Mortimer suits him better. In any other romance novel, that would have been an insult. In my opinion, there's nothing sexy about the name "Mortimer".
The Rogue Hunter November 4, 2008 Lynsay Sands writes the best Vampire books. They will make you laugh and are so romantic!!
