Lynsay Sands’ Argeneau vampire series is delightfully charming and witty, with a healthy dose of fun — not to mention clever, smile-inducing titles.
I’ve read a few of them now and each has been a pleasant experience, and the upcoming Vampires Are Forever (2/2008), eighth in the series, is a fitting addition.
Up this time is Thomas Argeneau — cousin to Bastien and his brothers, nephew to the clan matriarch Marguerite, and a composer in secret — and the smart and curvy Inez Urso, VP of Argeneau Enterprises’ London operations and all-around nice girl.
The duo, who have met only briefly once before, suddenly find themselves thrust together when Marguerite goes missing, not long after she’d taken up the occupation of private detective. Their search for the missing PI takes them to some unique places and into dangers unexpected. The close quarters they must share, however, sparks undeniable passion between them and reveals a bond neither ever expected to find.
Thomas and Inez’s romance is sweet and gentle and their desire appropriately heated, despite her fears and timidity. He woos her with a care, gradually coaxing his largely inexperienced lady love into his arms by being, of all things, considerate.

This book is amazing! I haven’t read any of the other ones, but it explains the basic background of their kind and Thomas’s family. It has a lot of dialog but at the same time explains the moods and emotions and specific, detailed actions of what’s going on. It has romance, desire, fear, suspense, and all the other moods you would find in a typical vampire romance novel thrown together nicely. I promise you, it’s a good read.

I adore this series! The Argeneau vampires are a fascinating, funny, and romantic read. Definitely recommended! Vampires Are Forever is probably my favorite of the series so far. Lynsay really developed Thomas’ character beyond the irresponsible playboy he is depicted as in previous books. LOVED IT!

I love every single book in this series! You get attached to the Argeneau family, and there is so much romance and passion. I just bought the newest book in the series, The Rogue Hunter, and can’t wait to get started reading it. Such great character development.
