Book #2: Argeneau Series

My Rating: 4½/5 stars

After more than 300 years of living, Etienne Argeneau finally has some new entertainment. He has a Pudge. More specifically, Pudge is a completely disturbed human who has decided, in sad, his muddled mind that he must kill Etienne. After 300 years, Etienne is willing to play along until he or his family can come up with a way to safely dispose of the disturbed man.

And then Etienne lands himself in the morgue . . . . twice!

Rachel Garrett considers herself to be a rational woman of science, but when the corpse of the seriously hot man appears in her morgue, twice, it’s time to start questioning some things. Since a person can’t die twice, there must be an explanation. Thankfully, that explanation comes in two forms: 1) the first time he “died” was just a hallucination brought on by the flu; 2) the second time he “died” was because something called Pudge blew him up. But, what the hell is a Pudge and why was he going on and on about the dead man being a vampire and why are all the crispy burned bits flaking off?

When Rachel eventually comes to, she has a metric ton of questions. One would think, after 300+ years of life, Etienne would be far better at answering questions. He is not, and it takes about 30 seconds for him to convince Rachel she is in the midst of a dream. A very long, very heavily populated, weirdly erotic dream, that involves Etienne’s mother . . . . wait, what? Since no one’s mother should ever appear in a wet dream, Etienne’s mother and sister take over and have a serious conversation with Rachel about her new life situation.

Though Rachel is justifiably freaked out by her situation, she’s learning to cope with it with Etienne’s help. Though Rachel frustrates Etienne, she also challenges him and brings to life thoughts and feelings he has firmly tucked away for many a long and lonely decade. She’s sexy and smart, funny and capable, and willing to put in the hard work needed to adjust to her new life. She also loves his video game 😊 As if the new life training wheels weren’t enough, Rachel and Etienne also have to deal with the continued presence of Pudge. Dealing with Pudge is a necessity and as Rachel and Etienne soon find out, it is a necessity that will have to be dealt with sooner rather than later. Pudge has plans . . . .

The Bottom Line: I liked this installment of the Argeneau series even better than the first! Rachel is hilarious in her determination to believe she is caught up in a dream, and Etienne’s “stupidity” after 300+ years of life is stunning. His poor mother 😊 There are so many funny, sexy, silly moments in this book that I couldn’t take my headphones off. Yeah, I listened to this one cover to cover, so to speak, in a single sitting and loved every minute. I particularly enjoyed watching Rachel unravel Etienne’s world and reminding him that he may be old, but there is a lot more living yet to be done. As for me, I have many more Argeneau’s to rediscover so it’s onward and upward . . . . .

Love Bites Argeneau Vampires Book 2 Lynsay Sands 9780505525536 Books Reviews

Etienne keeps ending up in the morgue as a corpse. The delusional Pudge is intent on eliminating him and is aware he's a vampire. Meanwhile the beautiful coroner Rachel is saddened that such a handsome man is going to waste and somewhat confused by his second appearance. Then Pudge reappears to finish the job. Good vampires vs crazy computer geek in the second book of this series. Totally unique vampiric background makes this plausible enough. Very enjoyable.
I really like the Argeneau Vampire series -The Argeneau family is fun and lively and their quirks are a hoot! That being said after three books with the formula being the same in all three - Fill in name of Argeneau family member - have him/her meet their life partner, and have them encounter a couple of road blocks and all ends well - it's starting to get old fast. At $7.00 a book I am thinking that I really don't want to read them all as I can't see where any of the rest of them are going to be different. I feel these books should have been priced at $2-$3. No higher. I don't know if Ms. Sands is just trying out this many volume d series fad, but I hope she will return to truly inspired stories like The Switch, The Husband List, The Reluctant Reformer, Lady Pirate, Bliss etc. etc. etc. Now those were stories worth reading!!
First, I have to confess, I began this series by checking out books 1-10, from my wonderful King County Library System several years ago! Since then I have usually purchased the series for my devices. I was intrigued by the concept of longevity, blood requirements, and the humor of people who are currently living in my own time. Lynsay Sands writes with such fun, instead of "wooo-hooo vampires" that addiction soon followed. From being able to read thoughts, unless they turn out to be their one & only, to suddenly becoming ravenous for food & lots of sex, which by the way, causes fainting, no matter the location, explanations re Atlantis, etc. Crazy situations, family dynamics, the use of blood banks, and reactions from those who are "normal"! Scenarios are unusual, and laughter follows....
Etienne Argeneau has a stalker who has shot him near the heart which was then the 1st time he met Rachel Garrett, the ME; he was brought in as a corpse. The 2nd time that he met Rachel was after his stalker tried to blow him up with his car & he was brought to the morgue again; but this time Rachel was killed by his stalker when she tried to save his life, so he turned her to save her life.

& now the fun really begins as he & his family try to convince her that she's not a "blood sucking demon". Etienne as he can't read her mind or sway her in anyway knows that she's his life mate & tries to woo her on many occasions. His cousin Thomas helps out a couple of times in this book. Etienne's stalker also shows up to do some more damage to Etienne & Rachel, but you will have to read the book to find out what happens.

This book has a good vs bad vibe, lots of sex scenes & vampires in it & I was hooked & stayed up late to finish this book.

Side note This book was a re-read for me however, I had never written a review before & because this series has been on my mind I am now re-reading & giving a review. I haven't read this series in ages & I have most if not all in paperback so I'll be giving my kindle a break for awhile.
