Product Description
That hot guy tied to Lissianna Argeneau’s bed? He’s not dessert—he’s the main course! Lissianna has been spending her centuries pining for Mr. Right, not just a quick snack, and this sexy guy she finds in her bed looks like he might be a candidate. But there’s another, more pressing issue: her tendency to faint at the sight of blood . . . an especially annoying quirk for a vampire. Of course it doesn’t hurt that this man has a delicious-looking neck. What kind o… More >>

This and the last book have lacked in substance what the first two books in the Argeneau vampire series had offered. Dr. Hewitt seems so compliant and there was no mention of the brothers except Sebastian. Doesn’t even fit with the other books. I would have expected Lissi’s brothers to want to grill Greg, as much as the cousins did. I didn’t mind that the book is out of order as much as I do mind that it’s out of focus.

There are lots of reviews for this book here, so I won’t go into the plot details and what order to read this series in. I will say I was enormously disappointed in the lack of humor. Ms. Sands is a favorite of mine and she usually has me laughing out loud. She single-handedly brought me back to historical romances (see “Bliss,” “The Key,” and “The Chase”), but this installment of the Atlantean vampires left me feeling quite ho-hum. It’s not a bad book, just nothing special. I hope she gets her groove back and gives us a book about cousin Thomas. That would be a hoot!

I am afraid I just have to voice my complaint very strongly about the way this series is being published. This should have been the first story instead it comes after the others which are also not in order. The entire series is being published backwards. So how can I get interested in these vampires when the next book has a married brother unmarried and half the characters missing who were in the last story and someone is married who never had a story. What sense does that make? A primary reason for getting attached to a series is that the characters continue to grow not regress. I can hardly make sense out of who is supposed to be mated and who is not. What publisher would do such a thing and for what reason. Certainly not to get readers hooked. Believe me it took me a while to realize what was wrong with the series and why it seemed so confusing to me. If I were an author I would never let my work be published in that way. Was Ms. Sands afraid to argue with her publisher for fear of being dumped. She should have held out for the correct order and thus make this series ten times more enjoyable and 100 time more addictive. I was so disgusted when I realized who the main characters were (they were already married in a previous book). Do yourself a favor wait till this series is finished and then buy all the books and read them in order. I wish I had taken my own advice, but I realized too late that there was a problem.

I have read every book in the series. I have loved them all.
I just wasn’t impressed with this book.
I had a harder time getting through it, and I didn’t laugh as much as I had with the other books.
I didn’t enjoy the characters as much.
I love Lynsay Sands writing, but this one just didn’t do it for me.

This book did not do anything for me. It was boring and I had a hard time finishing it. I wanted to like it to follow the series, but I could not.
