Vampire Valentine by Lynsay Sands

Mirabeau LaRouche knew she had a job to do, but she never expected her assignment to take her through New York City's dark, dank underground-in her bridesmaid gown, no less! And when her partner turns out to be mortal private investigator Tiny McGraw, Mireabeau knows it's no ordinary Cupid's arrow that has struck her heart this Valentine's Day.

Hearts Untamed by Pamela Palmer

Ten years ago Zeeland left D.C. to join the Therian Guard, needing to put some distance between himself and the still-too-young Julianne. Now he's returned, in the midst of a Valentine's celebration to find Julianne more beautiful than ever, still angry at him for leaving, and up to her lovely eyebrows in an intrigue that threatens both of their immortal lives.

Kiss and Kill Cupid by Jamie Rush

Kat Morgan has no use for Valentine's Day, since hearing other people's thoughts puts a real damper on any kind of intimate relationship. When she overhears the Killer Cupid serial killer targeting her for his Valentine's Day murder, Kat is terrified. But is Adrian, the one man whose thoughts she can't hear, her savior, or killer?

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing Anthology!, January 14, 2010

This review is from: Bitten By Cupid (Mass Market Paperback)

I absolutely loved this short story by Lynsay Sands. It picks up the story of a beloved character, Tiny, in her on-going Argeneau/Hunter series, and wraps up some previous loose ends. For someone who is reading the Argeneau books it's a wonderful peice of the ongoing mystery in the Hunter series, though for someone unfamilar with it, there could be a few mysterious moments.

I do think though that a casual reader will enjoy this story even if they aren't a fan of the Argeneau books.

The other two stories in the anthology are quite interesting, I liked the second story, but I felt that I was missing a lot of back-story world development that would make this make more sense to me.

The final story in the anthology while quite good was just a wee bit creep and not my personal style, but the writing was very good and might be just the cup of tea for another reader.

Absolutely worth it for a regular Sands reader and stands well on it's own even if you're not.

I absolutely love every book so far in the Argeneau Vampire series and don't write reviews but I felt that I needed to write one for this book. This book was not worth the $8 I paid for it only because Tiny's story was really vague and came to an erupt end. If you are only really interested in following the Argeneau series and afraid that you are going to miss out on important events if you skip this book...don't be afraid because you won't. Basically all you need to know is that Tiny and Mirbeau are Life Mates and that their story is plotted around taking Stephaine to Port Henry to try to finish off her teenage years as normal as possible while being kept safe from Leonius Livius and his "gang". I have not read the other 2 short stories mainly because I am not interested. I only bought the book because I thought that I might miss crucial events that might be referred to in the up coming books. After reading Tiny's VERY short story, I now know that I should have just skipped this book and went right to the next book in the series (Born to Bite).

This book was like a meal...
Vampire Valentine by Lynsay Sands - I checked this book out at the Library because I am currently working my way through this series. This one was a fun story, no meat just some yummy potatoes. I like Tinys' character so I was happy to have a story with him but.... I don't know I just wish this was a full book. Worth the read though check it out.
Hearts untamed by Pamela Palmer - Absolutely sexy meaty story. I love Palmer's Feral warrior series so I was pleasantly surprised to discovered this short story in there. Hot & sexy alpha male Zeeland & Julianne are sizzling in this one. Great short story.
Kiss and Kill Cupid by Jamie rush - Well here is your side salad with your meal. I love salads but if that was all there was you would still be hungry for more. Fun short story to round out the book.
Bottom line, check it out from the library before your decide if you want it for your permanent library.
