Spend the day in the sand getting caught up with Sands….Lynsay
Sands! With a recent release to
her Argeneau series in the past couple of months and another coming out later this month now is the perfect time to get
caught up on a great series!
Under a Vampire Moon, released late April, helps to wrap up
the story threads started in Vampire Interrupted, the story of Marguerite and Julius. Christian, their son, has had a rough life due to his loss
of a mother figure for most of his life.
Now that he has reconnected with his mom and helped her find her way
back to his father, her true lifemate, he is eager to find his own lifemate. Now it is Marguerite’s turn to do her
magic and help him. While
just beginning her honeymoon she happens upon his one perfect match and asks Christian to join them in St. Lucia hoping that as a family they can help him win her
over.
Carolyn has had a rough life. She is very introverted and leery
of men since all the males in her life have been abusive and deceitful. That is with the one exception of her
dear gay friend, Brent. Since the
Argeneau’s can read minds they quickly read that this is Christain’s only
chance to get past her impenetrable walls. So Christian poses as a gay man seeking her help in hiding
it from his family by pretending that he has found love. But as his plans begin to work and she
begins to trust him the lifemate magic takes hold. With hormones ranging out of control they both begin to have
trouble keeping their hands off each other. And it isn’t long before Christian is forced to blow his
cover or risk losing her.
Although I typically like a stronger female character it is
understandable why Carolyn is the way she is. Christian’s treatment of her and concern makes this a
wonderful romance. This was the
first over 150-page book that I have read in quiet a while and it was amazing
the difference in how much more the story benefitted from having that
additional length. I literally
could not put this down even though this is a crazy, busy time. The beach tropical setting
was magical. I loved how even
though Christian was pretending to be gay the story did not suffer from a lack
of passion given their shared dreams.
This was wonderfully written and a perfect summer read!
Please check back soon for a review of Ms. Sands upcoming release of The Lady is a Vamp, due to be released July 31st!
