Bite Me If You Can, February 7, 2007
This review is from: Bite Me If You Can (Argeneau Vampires, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)
Walking home from work in the wee hours of the morning, Leigh is attacked and kidnapped by a rogue vampire. Luckily, hunters targeting the rogue arrive to free Leigh but not before the rogue turns her into a vampire.
Going through the turn isn't easy and someone needs to care for Leigh during this painful time. Lucian Argeneau doesn't exactly want the job but fate seems have other ideas. A hunter that's been around for over two thousand years, Lucian has found little to excite him. Until Leigh. Now Lucian is eating food, drinking coffee and dreaming about sex with Leigh.
Unfortunately the rogue that attacked Leigh is still at large and coming for her!
This is my first experience with the Argeneau family. I am now tracking down the other five books in this series. I gobbled up Bite Me If You Can in one afternoon and immediately began my quest for more of Lynsay Sand's writing. Let me tell you why I am now an official Lynsay Sands fan, Bite Me If You Can is full of hot and steamy romance peppered with enough humor to make me laugh out loud. I loved every morsel!
My only excuse for missing this series until now is my prejudice against cartoon covers and some of the Argeneau books have cartoon covers. Shame on me! And if you've missed this yummy paranormal romance series for the same reason, shame on you too! Lecture me about judging a book by it's cover later, for now, get your own copy of Bite Me If You Can. You'll gobble it up too!

Really Enjoyable!, February 26, 2007
This review is from: Bite Me If You Can (Argeneau Vampires, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)
For those of you who have read other books in the Argeneau family series you'll love this one! After several millenia of grieving for his lost wife and daughters the aloof boogie man of the immortal world is about to find a new love. He's still arrogant but the sudden emotion has turned him just a hair bumbly. You see, Lucian hasn't kissed a woman since the Romans left Britain(that's nearly 1700 years!). He hasn't tried to make someone like him in far longer than that. He's a little out of his element (see hostile threats and terminating people) and those pesky neices and nephews whom he's tormented are loving it.
For those of you who are interested in this book but have not read anything else in the rest of the series, I suggest you go pick up atleast one other of these stories first. Not only will you be a little lost if you don't but these have been fantastic books you won't want to miss. Etainne & Lillianna's stories are where Lucian has popped in previousely.
Plot wise: Leigh's walking home one night minding her own business when bam, a slightly out of it employee who disapeered a few days ago has his new freind bite her of all things. They turn her, kidnapp her, and she's just escaping when this gorgeous blonde man and and his freinds burst in. That's all Leigh remembers. But when she comes to, she finds she's not in Kansas anymore! Instead she's in a swanky Toronto home being cared for by the same said blonde man, Lucian Argeneau, and being informed that she's been turned into the equivalant of a vampire. And her new tutor in all things vamp is the sulky but sexy 3,500 year old Atlantean who rescued her. It may be a little much for a girl to handle.
Other very good books in this series, in order:
A Quick Bite- Lissianna & Greg
Love Bites - Eteinne & Rachel
Single White Vampire - Lucerne & Kate
Tall, Dark & Hungry- Bastien & Terri
A Bite to Remember- Vincent & Jackie

brilliance in comedy and romance!, February 11, 2007
This review is from: Bite Me If You Can (Argeneau Vampires, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)
I think this is my favourite Argeneau since Single White Vampire. I read this some time back, and I thought it really was one of Lynsay Sand's strongest efforts to date.
Leigh Gerard is going home from work late one night, when she is approached by a co-worker Danny. He is acting rather weird, but before she can decide to get far away, she ends up at a house with a rogue Vampire named Morgan. Morgan has started the process to turn Leigh. He has been turning people left and right to create his own vampire clan. Only the enforcer of the Argeneaus, Lucian, is on Morgan's trail and determined to put a stop to his nonsense. He comes in with his crew to wipe out the vampire nest, but discovers Leigh is not really a vampire...quiet yet. Instead of destroying her with the others, he takes her home and protects her. Neither Leigh nor Lucian (even more grumpy than Lucern is!!) are happy with the romance, especially since Leigh is learning she is a vampire in the makings, too.
A little darker than most of Lynsay's books, but I like that she steps outside of the box and delivers a book that is special unto itself. It's charming, witty, and an utter delight. Many series start to lag after the first three, then you see the writer struggling to keep making the series fresh. It's not an easy chore, because you have to remember that a reader new to the series will need explanations, while those already hooked don't want to hear a lot of repetition. It's walking a tight rope between the two that can kill a series. Sands proves she is a master and does each one in STYLE that promises to keep this series going and going....sure makes me happy!
