When a series runs for quite awhile the books start to sound similiar and that is happening to this series. However, when you reading recurring characters is like visiting family and that's what I love about them. So while they are not 5 or even 4 star books for me, I love revisiting the Argeneau Vampires. This one however made me laugh out loud. Some people had a problem with Christian having to pretend to be gay however he never came across as a sterotype. Also his cousin's reaction to being the one thought of as gay was humorous. These are quick, easy familiar reads that I enjoy.

This book left me feeling like I was missing the other half. The characters were nice, I enjoyed watching Carolyn evolve from a woman who thought she was worthless, ugly and old into a woman who thought she was almost pretty and deserving.
I found the family's interference in their relationship incredibly frustrating, Christan made it clear that he wasn't happy with what they wanted him to do but didn't tell him to butt out until basically the last chapter.
I spent the whole book feeling frustrated and wondering why he hadn't told her the truth. finally we get to the end he tells her the truth about himself and ends with him explaining where immortals came from.
Where's the rest?
Does he turn her? Does she finally move completely past her abuse from her Ex and accept herself as a beautiful person? Do they get revenge on her friend and her ex for trying to kill her? Do they get married?
Like what the hell! Where's the rest?
This book spent so much time trying to get them together and when they finally do were left hanging wondering what's to come next.
Overall, pretty disappointed with this book. But, onto the next we go.

Was one of my favourite of this series. Was supper funny with Christian and his family. And the face that he is a rock violinist is also a great add to the story.

I rally loved this story. It was funny and entertaining, it was very hard to put down. I just wish there had been an epilogue. I would like to have known what happened to the couple after a few months or weeks.

That ending sucked. I felt like it ending in the middle of a sentence. It kind of felt like a slap to the face. It’s like the author just got bored with writing or ran out of time for a deadline and was like fuck it. I am honestly so upset about the ending because I actually liked the book. I liked the characters. But now I’m just like fuck it. 3 stars when you could have been 4 or 5.

This one just didn't seem as good as the previous ones. It took me longer than it should have to read it. It just wasn't as exciting. I kind of feel like it should have been a novella and not an actual book. Luckily the next is line was just as good as it should be.
