As a novel, I enjoyed it, I guess. I liked the move away from the Rogue Hunters theme, and back towards Sands' old style. (I find the RH premise rather boring.) There was no humor in this one. I missed that.BUT: As far as romance, this wasn't at all for me. I found Jeanne Louise's character to be a total mood-killer. I finished the book with no respect and actual dislike for her character. Her decision that drove the conflict part of the plot may have been realistic IRL, but it certainly was theMeh.I just felt absolutely nothing for the heroine, Jeanne Louise. She had no depth, no humor, no interesting anything. It's like she was just suddenly created for the purpose of needing a book character or something. She was even in previous books but left no impression.Jeanne Louise gets kidnapped by a mortal who knows about vamps and has a dying daughter that he wants changed into a vampire. Great. Bring in the adorable kid who is dying of cancer. That will help liven up the story.Just. Stop.
I've got to wonder if it's time to stop reading this series before it totally jumps the shark. The premise is heartbreaking, more so for me having actually lost a child to cancer almost 10 years ago. Here a desperate father, aware of the immortals because he does research for them, kidnaps an immortal coworker, Jeanne Louise, in order to save the life of his 4 year old daughter who's been stricken with brain cancer. Within just a few pages Jeanne Louise realizes that he's also her lifemate (like
Hoping to save someone he loves, Paul Jones kidnaps Jeanne Louise Argeneau to try and convince her to help him in a way only an immortal can. He thinks he's prepared, yet the one thing he never planned on was falling in love with the woman who has become much more than his captive. Jeanne Louise should be furious with Paul but she understands his motives and soon realizes that he's more than just her abductor, he's her lifemate. But lifemates or not, laws have been broken and Jeanne Louis and
It made me misty eyedThis one broke my heart as much as lifted it. It was a beautifully told story and the characters and story line fit the personalities presented so far. Beautifully done
This could have been so much better. It was a sad story. Much heavier than other books in the series. Widower (of 2 years) has a 5 year old daughter dying of brain cancer. Yikes! The irony was that the sad part of the story was not what you'd expect. The little girl was cute and she was actually a pleasant distraction in the story b/c the heroine was taking her pain so she would eat and have fun. The story zoomed along until it ground to a screeching hault. Only to be resolved by a solution that
Ok if these don't pick up I may be giving up on the Argeneau series the last was disappointing too.As a romance it is passable as a supernatural romance the same as anything else ....I'm used to larger than life characterisations a reasonable plot and a decent story with more than a touch of humour, and though this had a decent plot it fell wide of being a satisfying story.Paul Jones's daughter is dying of cancer so he kidnaps an immortal to save her life, Jeanne Louise Argeneau being the
