From Publishers Weekly
Sands's delightful sixth visit with the Argeneaus (following A Bite to Remember), a clan of vampires living across present-day North America, features bitter, world-weary Lucian, a bloodsucker preoccupied with hunting down rogue vamps to protect the family—and to hide centuries-old grief for his dead wife and children. The depressed vampire finds a new lease on immortality when he becomes involved with Leigh Gerard, an independent woman fleeing an abusive relationship and looking to make a fresh start in Kansas City. After Leigh is attacked and turned by a wayward vampire named Morgan, Lucian becomes her unwilling tutor in the vampiric lifestyle. When he realizes he's falling in love with her, he has to figure out how to become the kind of man she could fall in love with as well—the kind of man he used to be. Though Sands doesn't have much of an antagonist in Morgan, her trademark humor and genuine characters easily carry the romance, and she's able to work in some creative twists on the standard vampire legend, keeping her series fresh and her readers hooked.

Book Description

Once Bitten . . .

One minute Leigh is walking home in the early hours of the morning, and the next a vampire is sinking his teeth into her neck. Turns out it was a rogue vampire marked for termination, but it does Leigh little good because the damage's already been done. She's become one of them.

Lucian Argeneau, hunter of rogue vampires, has been alive for over two thousand years, and there's very little to excite him anymore. Food has become tasteless, sex is ordinary. Then Leigh drops into his life. Suddenly he finds himself craving coffee . . . and imagining the sassy brunette atop the black satin sheets on his nice big bed. It's Lucian's job now to enlighten Leigh on the inner workings of being immortal . . . and tutoring her is igniting a fire in him that hasn't burned in centuries.

But until they stop a renegade bloodsucker from destroying the human race, passion will have to wait!

From Our Editors
The Barnes & Noble Review
Lynsay Sands combines funny and vampire once again in this sixth entry in her Argenau vampire series. Not everyone wants to be a child of the night, as Leigh Gerard quickly discovers. She's walking home late at night, and the next thing she knows, a creepy guy bites her and makes her drink his blood. Before much more can go wrong, the newly turned Leigh is rescued by Lucian Argenau, a 2,000-year-old vampire who fights rogue vampires. He's been a little depressed lately but is happy to show Leigh a proper welcome. He introduces her to a few conveniences and benefits -- blood bags in the fridge, the disappearance of cellulite, and the ability to eat without gaining weight. Although Lucian can read minds, the fact that he can't read Leigh's suggests she just might be his lifemate. Despite interruptions from his extended family and Julius the mastiff, this unlikely romance starts to flourish. Just when it kicks into high gear, Lucian gets word that the rogues are returning to find Leigh and finish the job. There are some great odd-couple scenes in this book, including a mall shopping scene in which she goes off to buy lingerie and he buys books on how to get girls (he's a little rusty). Ginger Curwen
