I realised midway through this novel that I'd missed one of the series out - Dante and Mary's story. I don't think that affected my reading experience, but I kept it in mind from the moment of my epiphany. Tomasso and Abs were a gorgeous couple. I liked how considerate and grunt-like Tomasso was - it made the plot twist that he was a closet science geek even sweeter. The couple's time wandering a beach cut off from civilisation was endearing and entertaining too. It was nice that neither was particularly stronger, but that emphasis was placed on equality early on in their relationship. The scenes in the cargo hold were adorable as well. And Jet! I hope the next novel will feature him and his immortal life mate. I don't care if it's a man or a woman - I just want him to get some loving. I'm glad I re-introduced the Argeneau series into my reading list. The new characters are fun to read and the old ones are as hilarious as ever (Lucien and Bricker will always be my favourites).

Loved this book! Found it to be entertaining and great.

Was so excited to read about Tomasso finally and I really liked Abigail. Felt like their relationship was realistic and passionate. Also loved the comedy.

Can't wait to read the next in the series when it comes out. Recommend this for all Sands fans!

Not interesting enough for me to get past the fat shaming.

28 books in this series, and they're all the same. Not kidding, I picked three at random Ave they are all the same plotline of kidnapping and insta-love.

Yet another good Argeneau book. My thoughts have been way too busy lately with working 2 jobs, buying a house, and preparing to move… so these have been just what I needed.

I didn't even know it was a series when I picked it up and I will surely not want to pick up the rest of the series. The plot was weak, action was non-existent and some bad guys who were far enough so that our main characters could have sex, but getting conveniently close so the tall, dark and handsome Tomasso would actually speak with Abigail. I think this book tried to by angsty, but failed big time. I think it wanted to be a lot of things, but did not manage.

This was amusing and sweet in many parts. The anatomy decision and its repercussions were absolutely hilarious. The epilogue was concerning, as was what was said about Dressler. Definitely a fun read.

For the last two years Abigail Forsyth has been taking care of her sick mother, who, unfortunately, lost her battle with cancer a couple of months ago. Now Abi is trying to get her life back on track. When she meets up with childhood best friend Jet, the last thing she expects to do is to tag-along on his job as a cargo pilot.

When the men who hired Jet to take their cargo to Venezuela seem less-than-thrilled that anyone else go with them on the trip, Abi hides in the cargo hold, and she discovers that the cargo comes in the form of a naked man in a cage.

Tomasso Notte and his brother Dante were two more in a string of Immortal kidnappings that have been going on for a few months. Dante managed to escape, and Tomasso only hopes his twin made it to safety. When Tomasso wakes up in his cage in the back of a plane, he knows he’s being transported again and his own hope for escape is looking rather bleak. What he’s surprised about, is the woman in the back of the plane with him. When he can’t read her mind, he immediately knows he’s found his life mate, but who is she? And is she working for his kidnappers?

I felt Immortal Nights was a relatively light read. This series definitely has developed a pattern that typically revolves around an Immortal finding their life mate and Immortal Nights is no different. When Abi and Tomasso finally make a break for it from his captors and parachute onto a beautiful tropical island, I felt like it was a last hurrah to summer, especially seeing as how I’ve already read books that have been mentioning the approaching holiday season.

Their trek to find civilization has no shortage of humorous moments—many at the expense of poor Tomasso suppressing his urge to use her for the blood he so desperately needs at the moment, and the obviously sexual attraction growing between them.

Abigail really stole the show for me character-wise. As Lynsay Sands has shown us many times, she’s a pro at making these down-to-earth and relatable characters and it was nice to read about one such character in Abigail. Seeing her growth from being a woman who put her life on hold to take care of her mother and, in a sense, lose part of herself in the process, to regaining her self-assured confidence was something that was just simply nice to see. She somewhat mirrors Mary’s story from Runaway Vampire.

Overall, I thought that Immortal Nights was a good follow-up to Runaway Vampire. I mean it’s only right that the twins get their stories told back-to-back. However, I was really hoping for some more closure on the whole kidnapping story arc that’s been going on for a couple of books now. I really thought we would get further along on that storyline, but it seems as though that one will be stretched out for yet another book. The ending of Immortal Nights is very promising, and I can tell you already I’m looking forward to the next book.
