Review:
The
series that I love to laugh and cry with continues with its newest installment
as one of our favorite human side-kicks finds himself in a truly untenable situation.
The Argeneau series is one of my favorite vampire romances because not only is
it filled with laughs, tears, and love, but you can bet there will be plenty of
drama and lots of fun too. Sands has a
way of putting her characters into the most ridiculous of situations and
forcing them to dig themselves out of the trouble and in doing so building
their relationships strong enough to last millennia. Jet Lassiter has been flying the Argeneau jet
around the world, hauling immortals and their supplies around, for a long time
now, but he has never forgotten the first glimpse he had of Quinn Peters when
she climbed into his plane, shell-shocked and terrified of her new path in life
as an immortal. Quinn was turned
against her will by her husband during a psychotic break and she has never
quite come to terms with her new circumstances.
Flying home with a few other immortals, Quinn and Jet find themselves survivors
of a terrible plane crash, but the others on the flight are still alive too—and
hungry for Jet’s blood. On the run
through the wilderness Jet and Quinn begin to develop a strange and intense
friendship and when Quinn realizes that Jet might just be her lifemate
everything becomes even more complicated.
Can an immortal that hates her new nature accept the man that has always
been fascinated with her or will she run from him too? OMG Quinn and Jet were so cute and hilarious
as they fell in love. There were of
course the requisite life-mate sex moments where they woke up in odd and embarrassing places/times but even better were the moments they began to help one another
heal from their pasts. Jet was such an easy going and loving guy that his “obsession”
with Quinn just went to show how dedicated he was even before he realized their
lifemate connection. His strength,
determination to protect those that are innocent, and compassion toward Quinn’s
issues with her nature made him such a sweet match for her. I loved seeing him bantering with her while
at the same time standing side by side with her as they found a way to just survive. Quinn has a lot to learn about her new nature
and hasn’t really dedicated herself to accepting because of her preconceived beliefs,
but seeing the way Jet trusts and feels about her slowly allows her to open her
mind and heart to the good things about her new life. She is a good mom, sister and friend, but
has neglected her own needs for far to long and truly just needed a partner to
teach her that sometimes everything isn’t as black and white as we think originally.
I loved the passion these two shared once they were safe to indulge and the
sweet way that Jet allowed Quinn to find her own desires again. I am really looking forward to whatever comes
next in this series and truly hope that it might be the long awaited story of
Ms. Stephanie, but if not, I know whatever it is will be wonderful. Another stunning success from the Queen of Paranormal
Romance.
