After the Bite: An Argeneau Novel (An Argeneau Novel, 35) Mass Market Paperback – September 27, 2022

Valerian meets his life mate while searching for a serial killer believed to be an Immortal. Nicole and her young daughter, Miami, are in danger. Valerian believes the danger is from the killer he is hunting. When he meets Nicole, he realizes she is his life mate. This is a warm story and Nicole is an endearing character. I enjoyed reading this book.

This author continues to impress me with her ability to make each story of the Argeneaus new and refreshing. I absolutely love that we got to see some of my favorite characters in action again, and how can you not adore sweet baby Mia and her great furry champion. Not to mention her mother, who has been put through the wringer, and yet has kept her gentleness and willingness to share her affection. Valerian is alpha to the core, but he’s also a big marshmallow when it comes to this family of three, well, and his boisterous sister who I can’t wait to see find her own HEA. The author is the queen of action and suspense, and she rounded out the story with a bad guy that I never saw coming. This PNR was absolutely amazing and it made me want to go back and start from the very beginning with book one, so I can get to know this wonderful family all over again.

This book was as wonderful and enjoyable as I expected. I have been reading this series for over 10 years, and the books are always interesting(even if I like some better than others). I'm looking forward to the books to come.

After the Bite is Lynsay Sands' THIRTY-FIFTH Ageneau novel, and she has definitely not lost her mojo! Meet Valerian MacKenzie, a Scottish (thank you little, tiny, baby Jesus) enforcer who works for Garrett Mortimer taking out rogues-gone-wild, and Natalie Moncreif, a chef turned golf course owner, mother, bearer of past trauma drama, and one ferociously driven woman. You know what they say... play 18 holes with a person and you're bonded for life... okay, maybe it's rescue someone near the eighteenth hole...nope, they don't say that either... whatever, it should be a saying. No matter what, After the Bite is undoubtedly an amazing Argeneau addition and a great overall read. There is enough mystery, romance, and fantasy to satisfy most readers with a heaping scoop of serial killer to fill in the gaps.*Note - A recurring thought I had while reading After the Bite - I can't wait for Valerian's sister Aileen's book - surely, I'm not the only one!!!KrisWhiskey & Wit Book Reviews

I love this story. I found myself laughing throughout this book many times. The plot is really good, and it keeps you reading until the end.

Such a great book! I love this author so much! She has a talent for creating scenarios that are both serious, yet lovely and humorous in the best ways.

I said at the beginning of the year that I wanted to acquire the rest of the Argeneau series this year, and I really need to get moving on it. This was everything I expect a Lynsay Sands novel to be: humorous with heat, heart, and action, all with her unique twist on vampire lore. I mean, a vampire on a golf course? Love it! Single mom with an adorable little girl and a ‘polar bear’ for a dog? I’m not even a huge fan of kids, but I’m totally there for it. (And I love when animals are included in romance!) Lynsay’s blend of PNR is just so refreshing and fun; not dark or super heavy, and even though it’s PNR, the characters and the family dynamics feel real. Natalie and Valerian’s story is no exception. Valerian is patient, wanting to woo Natalie the right way, and Natalie, while guarded (understandably), figures out in the end that she doesn’t have to be quite the workaholic she is, and that re-opening her heart again doesn’t have to be a devastating endeavor. Five fabulous stars!

I love Lynsay Sands. I've read all of her books and really enjoy the Argeneau series but I really felt like this book cut off at the turning instead of ending properly. I think there should have been a few chapters about them settling into life together and dealt with whether to turn Mia or not. I would love to "see" an immortal wedding too (another one maybe, I remember shopping for wedding stuff I feel like in one book but I don't feel like there has been an actual wedding described...could be slipping my mind though). Would have loved to see Valerian convince Natalie to take a vacation to see his castle. The ending was just very abrupt and left some dangling threads for me. Still love the author and was disappointed I couldn't pre-order the next book in the series, so this hasn't soured me on the author or the series and I did in fact love the rest of the book, but this ending was not my favorite.

Enjoy all books by this particular author

Love the book!!! Lyndsay Sands is an amazing writer and I love her books. This one is no exception. Totally recommend this book.
