5 BLOODY FANGS!!!

Synopsis:

New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands brings the heat in this new Argeneau novel, as one woman is rescued by an irresistible immortal …

“Vampires...”

When Raffaele Notte pulls a barely dressed, disoriented woman from the ocean, the last thing he expects is for her to utter that word. The immortal has come to the island resort to help his cousin, but now, it seems, there are rogue vampires dining on unsuspecting tourists. And he soon realizes that not only is Jess a target, she’s also the life mate he’s been waiting for…

Vampires are real. Jess would’ve never believed it until she saw them with her own eyes. She knows she has to get off the island, and her gallant rescuer has offered to help. There’s something about Raffaele that’s unlike any man she has ever met, and his touch sends pleasure through her that is beyond all imagining. But when Jess discovers who he really is, will she risk life as she knows it for a chance of forever by his side?


Vampires Like It Hot (Argeneau, #28)Vampires Like It Hot by Lynsay Sands
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this as an arc and OMG i LOVED it! Even though this is book 28 it doesn't feel like torture and that the author is dragging it out just for the sake of money, this book is legit awesome like all the others. The witty one liners in this book are amazing and had me laughing the entire time I read it- especially the nickname that Jess makes up for "hot naked Raff". Raff saved Jess from Vasco and Cristo and repeatedly made sure everything was thought of and but Raff did everything to keep her happy except not tell the truth the entire time and then had it blow up in his face. Vasco was a great character and although his language was crude at times he really stepped in a lot in unexpected ways which was nice to see for a "vampirate". I definitely recommend this book though as I enjoyed it a lot.

5 BLOODY FANGS!!



Synopsis:

Irresistible chemistry and thrilling suspense combine in this electrifying new installment in 

One hundred and twenty-five years is a long time to nurse a crush. That’s how long it’s been since Beth Argenis first met Cullen “Scotty” MacDonald and he instantly became the star of her most X-rated dreams. Back then, he was rescuing her from a Rogue Immortal. Now Beth’s a Rogue Hunter—a damn good one. She doesn’t need saving anymore, despite what Scotty thinks. What she does need is the fierce, wild desire that finally erupts between them.

Scotty has hesitated to claim Beth as his own. But one explosive kiss confirms what he’s long suspected: She’s his life mate. But Beth is tough, fearless, beautiful…and in immortal danger. Unless he wants to lose her forever, he’ll have to rethink everything he once believed about love and destiny as well as confront an enemy who’s terrifyingly close. (Goodreads)


Review:

Lynsay has done it again! I've been a huge fan of hers for years since I first ever heard of her from the library recommendation section. While I absolutely love her I've always worried about her running out of ideas 20+ books in on the same series but I always end up loving it and wondering why I ever questioned it to begin with. 

Scotty is a great character and I love the internal struggle that comes along with him being an "elder" immortal. While it made me sad that so much time was wasted I can understand how it would be a hard thing to get over (not saying too much to give it away) with what Beth had endured in her life prior to meeting him. The chemistry between the 2 were hot as usual and it wasn't overboard in any way- personally I would be thrilled if there were more love scenes with them but she did it tastefully and modestly which is her normal style. I enjoyed very much the introduction to new characters and the new "russian" while we've mainly dealt with the Scots, English, and Italian immortal families. 

Beth was just a badass female in this entire book. She was a girl after my own heart, with her being able to take care of herself and not let things in life bring her down. She overpowered so much in her life that you couldn't help but admire her throughout the book. I honestly wished that this book was longer though because now I have to wait even longer before the next release of this family/series.
