The first book i read in the series. It's okay, but not particularly exciting. Some of the plot is in Canada in cottage country which is interesting. 

I've finally had a good span of time to read and decided to catch up on the Argenneau books. I was about 7 behind. I must say, I always do enjoy Lynsay Sands books, but this has to be my least favorite of her series. Bricker seemed different to me from the other books and it just wasn't what I was expecting. I couldn't tell if I would laugh or feel upset as I waited for real drama. Still a decent read and of course it is just my personal opinion. Because I love her other books dearly. I'm still excited for Dante and Tomasso who I will be reading next!




[SPOILER] And dang nabbit, I wanted Gia to get her own book!

In all fairness I really wasn't interested in Bricker's HEA. He has never appealed to me. However the combination of the storyline of his life mate being married and the worry that skipping this book would mean lost info in regards to the ongoing storyline with the rouge vampires, I felt it was important NOT to skip a book.

So you can imagine my disappointment that this book brought when it ended and I realized it had nothing to offer. No HOT moments, no Laugh Out Loud moments, no Butterflies in my tummy. or Heart squeezes. The couple NEVER won me over.

I actually stopped reading this book half way through and revisited THE DARKEST ASSASIAN by Gina Showalter. Had more emotional responses in 3 chapters of that than 300+ pages from this...

Gia was probably the ONLY character that held any interest.

Liked it more than I thought I would when I saw that Holly was already married prior to meeting Bricker. I should have had faith in Lynsay Sands, but I was skeptical instead. :P

Such a great book! It was different with no bad guy, but there was learning to be a vampire. Really great to read!

Review will be posted on Romance Reviews Today in October 2015 (sorry, no RRT reviews can be cross-posted).

I will say that I enjoyed this. I wish it had been a bit longer, actually, so there was more build up to the final scene. But all the same, this was well done, and it was nice for Bricker to finally get his story. Can't wait for the next one!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for review.

A pretty silly book, but not too bad. At least it wasn't all about sex. And it was realistic that Justin wasn't in love with Holly at the beginning. And there were some funny parts. But Justin's character was weak. Maybe it assumes I have read more about Justin in other books. But I haven't. So he just seemed ... Blah.
