I've been working my way through this series, one after another. They formulaic, but I can deal with that to a degree. I was wanting to know how the whole Leo thing wrapped up. It was not what I was expecting and felt like a let down.
The whole was this SA/rape or was it not grated on me as it was most definitely SA. I did almost throw my headphone off and stop when there was a hint he would be excused because he was drunk. Like no, please stop now.
I was so confused by who Hazel was and it took reading some other reviews to realize the author isn't referencing her own previous work to keep the plots/characters straight. That made me also realize I may be tuning them out somewhat since I didn't even pick up on Vincent drinking bagged blood.
Basil was boring, Sherry was funny, Stephanie's story is what I want to see more of. I know Justin's book is next, and which I have been waiting for since I do like his character.

Good story, no idiotic character actions, and a nice resolution to a certain story arc.

Talk about a convoluted plot! There is a lot that happens here at if was brilliant, unexpected, and enthralling. Each book just keeps pulling me in to this series more.

Another great read from the Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands. If you have not enjoyed these books before I do not recommend starting with this book, the story would be a little too confusing to understand. If you’ve enjoyed the series like I have this is another fun, sexy addition to the books. Sherry had worked hard to build her own business but one strange day all of that changes when rogue immortals push their way in to her store. Suddenly she’s running for her life and thrown in to a world she never imagined could possibly exist. It does have its pluses when she meets Basil. He almost seems too good to be true and he’s sure that she’s the one for him but can Sherry open herself up to the impossible? I’ve always enjoyed the books from Ms. Sands and can’t wait to pick up each new story. Can’t wait until the next book!

After 20 some books the series has had it’s up’s and down’s for me. I have my favorites and the not so great ones, but this time around I wasn’t disappointed and had a marvelous time returning to the Argeneau series.
I’d say this book can be read as a stand-a-lone or be a starter into the series.

The Immortal Who Loved Me delivers a new storyline with a little mystery, humor, and a sweet romance.
I loved the start. Sherry won me over on the very fist page. I liked her and liked that she had a good head on her shoulders. Stephanie, a little girl we have seen pop in and out of the books, was a nice addition. The poor girl has it ruff. I liked her interaction with Sherry and loved her comparing lifemates to pizza when explaining things to Sherry. Made me laugh.
The humor was remarkable in this one. I loved the miss pronounce of Basil (pronounced Baw-zil). Took me by surprise and had me smiling. Then their was Bricker he was kinda of an ass in this one, but boy did he have me laughing when he spit out all the different names for a mans penis. Yes, their are several names to call a mans penis and that whole scene was hilarious. Really, you need to read it.
Basil was adorable. He totally screwed up explaining things and had Sherry thinking someone slipped her something, until they shared their first kiss and then, well she starts to rethink things. I loved Basil and Sherry. They had several great moments. It was just so much fun reading about these two.
It was fantastic for me as a fan of the series to see old favorites pop in. I just love seeing old characters in any storyline show up.
We finally and I mean finally get closer on Livius, one of the bad guys who has been reeking havoc throughout several books. I’m glad that’s done, but we still have one more bad guy and all of Livius sons to find, but part of this plot comes to a closer and I’m glad.
I did have some issues with the book.
- I didn't like how abruptly the ending was. We learn that Sherry’s paternal grandfather will show up and then the book ends.
- I also wasn’t to found of how this book handles consent when we learn some very disturbing things about Sherry’s mother’s past and who her really father is. This was explained by Elvi, but how it was explained ya it makes some sense, but still it’s rape in a form.
- I also felt that Basil and Sherry needed to talk more about the kids. Basil has had a kid every 100-years with a friend. This was just said and then they move on. I can understand where he's coming from, living so long, but still it's a hard issue to tackle and I felt the author didn't tackle it. I wouldn't be able to move on from this very easily.
Even with the few issues I had, I still ended up really liking this book. The Immortal Who Loved Me brought me back to what I love about this series. A fun loving story filled with characters to fall in love with and humor to keep you laughing.
