This vampire has been alone for far too long . . .
As one of the most ancient in the Argeneau clan, Cale Valens has given up on finding a life mate. His friends and family, however, have not. In fact, they believe they've finally found his perfect match. Getting them together, however, requires one little white lie . .
Alexandra Willan is in a panic. Her restaurant is due to open in two weeks, but her chef just walked out. Then a highly recommended replacement arrives, an impossibly handsome culinary genius who sends electric tingles racing through her body . . .
Except he can't cook. In fact, Cale hasn't eaten real food in two thousand years. Yet he's determined to prove to Alex his prowess in the kitchen . . . and elsewhere. Because never has he hungered so for any mortal woman. And not just for a taste of her, but for the whole delicious feast!

I absolutely loved this story! This is storytelling at its best! I found myself smiling and chuckling throughout the story. Sands is the only consistently funny author I have ever read in the PNR genre. It was sweet, romantic, steamy, funny, and interesting. I loved both of the characters. They were both hard working & very kind to each other. The poor guy couldn’t find his way around a kitchen which describes me almost to a tee. Every time I think of the microwave scene I start laughing!!
The words just flowed across the pages in this story. The dialogue was interesting and realistic and there was plenty of it. I prefer this over books where everybody is just thinking about everything instead of saying anything. This also made me anxious for Bricker’s story. He’s a stitch!
Great review! I will have to read this if I ever get the time. Still looking for suggestions on how to make the day longer for reading. hehe :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Danielle! I couldn't agree more - there just aren't enough hours in the day for all of the great books out there!
ReplyDeleteGreat review Laurie! I have been thinking for a while if I should pick up lynsay sands work and I think now I will!

ReplyDeleteYAY! I cannot wait to read this! Great Review!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Artemis,
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't goofy comedy at all. I just found myself smiling quite a bit at the way somebody said something or at one of their actions. I found that through most of her books in this series. It's a lighter series than most out there, but not corny.
Nice to read a review where it's so obvious that you loved the book.
ReplyDeleteLynsay Sands has an except from the book in her forum and it sounds WONDERFUL!!! Can't wait for my beloved Brickers story too.
ReplyDeleteI love Lynsay. I cant wait to get to read this. Nice reivew.
