Irresistible desire and thrilling suspense combine in this electrifying new Argeneau novel from New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands.
For close to three thousand years the imposing, impossibly handsome Santo Notte has fought in armies across the world and battled his own, more personal enemies. Of all the places he might expect to encounter his life mate, a quiet corner of upstate New York doesn’t seem likely. But as soon as he makes contact with history professor Petronella Stone, while hunting down a suspected rogue immortal, he knows that she will be the greatest adventure of his eternal life.
He expects her to be surprised, confused, even overwhelmed. What he doesn’t expect is that Pet has a secret history of her own. There’s no mistaking the mind-blowing, mutual pleasure they share. But as Pet struggles to protect her nephew from a danger lurking too close to home, Santo realizes there’s another threat to her safety—him. And claiming their passionate future will be impossible until he leaves his past behind, forever…

"The Argeneau stories were a fun, sexy take on vampire books. They were never great literature but were a quick, entertaining read - much like a sitcom. The last few have deteriorated. Storylines have disappeared and the last couple have read like extended short stories. This book was the last straw for me. There was no story line. There was no beginning and no ending, just a series of vignettes of sex and violence and the violence was disturbing. I don’t read books like this for scenes of children being raped and burned alive.
I am disappointed and disturbed by the direction the author has taken."

The Trouble With Vampires An Argeneau Novel Lynsay Sands Books Reviews
- The Argeneau stories were a fun, sexy take on vampire books. They were never great literature but were a quick, entertaining read - much like a sitcom. The last few have deteriorated. Storylines have disappeared and the last couple have read like extended short stories. This book was the last straw for me. There was no story line. There was no beginning and no ending, just a series of vignettes of sex and violence and the violence was disturbing. I don’t read books like this for scenes of children being raped and burned alive.
I am disappointed and disturbed by the direction the author has taken. - I will admit freely that I read as an escape. I love these stories, which I started with book 23. I love her humor and have enjoyed her historical romances. You can jump in any time, but be aware, you may want to jump back then and read the first 28 books!
The action is fast, right from the start, the characters are deep and complex. Santo is cute with the problems he has talking at all, let alone to Pet. Pet is strong and capable, and I also liked that she knew about immortals. The storyline is action oriented with character development and super steamy scenes.
I guess the thing that surprises me is that no one is commenting about how much pain and suffering the characters are now dealing with from their previous lives. The addition of the Dr. Dressler problem to the series has added a lot more suffering than I remember from the previous stories. I am not so sure I can keep reading them if it keeps getting heavier and heavier, honestly. But I would hate to stop reading the series. I am going to have to read one of my go-to cheer-me-up books after this. In all it is a great story, but not a simple, escape read. This is not necessarily a pick-me-up story, for all there are some funny scenes in it. That is my only other comment about this book. If you have been reading the Argeneau series, you will want to read this. If you haven't, and enjoy a lot of action to your paranormal romance, and don't mind some heavier stuff, then give this a try! - And while I love all the books including this one, I find that it’s becoming books with filler and not enough romance. The filler can be anything from unnecessary descriptors or setting to ridiculous shenanigans by the extended cast of characters or villains.
This book had a great pre story for the male and female leads. And their getting to know you was wonderful to read. But I don’t get how so much can happen in 48 hours and then a turn happens. Not only that, it mostly occurs after the fifth percent mark in the book and just when you’re getting into the romance the book is over.
The first half of the book is a complete waste of writing and reading time. Nothing important happens besides introducing the characters to each other, then it’s all about the villain and NOT the couple I bought the book to read about. I mean I read so much unnecessary descriptions about how they moved or what the name of the food or wine is that I might as well read a cookbook! It’s all internal thoughts about mundanity I just kept rolling my eyes and leaving the book to play a game for a bit.
If it wasn’t because I’m so dedicated to this series and I know I’ll end up loving the book at the end I wouldn’t keep following this author. Her earlier books weren’t like this. I’m not sure what’s going on but I would really like a book with better pacing so the romance isn’t at the last half of the book. Which leaves me wanting a dozen epilogues to satisfy me. A book with less filler, seriously I don’t want to read about food in a romance. Duh! Smh. Or about every move they made with every position of every limb or eyelash for craps sake! It’s BORING!
Now the characters and their individual histories were barely touched upon and then the book was over. More development could have come from this to fill the book with more emotional angst. More deeper connections could have arisen from their storylines merging it was just such a waste of underutilization of the plot premise.
I still loved the characters and the last 40% of the book and will probably reread it again one day. The other ten percent was lame sex scenes. I think the author needs some help with these because they are so boring I tend to skip over them. They used to be hot. Now it’s all mechanics and dry. The author is either not getting any sex in years(!) or she’s all written out of material for this subject. Idk. Smh. - The Trouble With Vampires, Lynsay Sands' 29th Argeneau opus gives and gives, and keeps on giving. Santo is Old but oh, so clueless about women. One must speak above a grunt if one wants a snowballs chance in H🔥🔥🔥 with a mate! Pet is tiny and mighty and her past is guaranteed to spark all sorts of Now Whats and Epiphany Extravaganzas (mainly about Quinn). As soon as you read the part where Pet explains to Santo why she and her twin sister Quinn ended up living in America you'll get my excitement!
From the first page to the last you will find no waning or waxing in your devotion to Sands' addictive style. Her storyline, flow, characters, and all around real life/fantasy situations will draw you in and keep you best friends with The Trouble With Vampires until finally sighing in complete satisfaction.
*Note - Readers familiar with the Argeneau series had to have died right along with me when Pet starts mentally checking out Santo upon their first meet and greet. I'm like, Oh God, Stop! Stop! Everyone can hear you! No private thoughts equals no public appearances... ever.☠☠â˜
*Note - Please Lynsay Sands - put me out of my misery... Will Quinn have her own book???
