" Love Bites is the first book in the Argeneau Vampire series. These are light romances with a few great hot and steamy scenes, but a lot of mystery plot. Vampires are surviving members of Atlantis and their offspring. Atlantean scientists introduced nanos into the blood streams of fatally ill members of the society. The nanos were programmed to to use the host's blood to repair damage to the host and kill disease and then shut down. What the doctors didn't take into account was that the human body is always under attack by the sun, aging, etc., so the nanos never shut down, making their hosts virtually immortal. After the fall of Atlantis, the members who managed to escape could no longer keep their nanos fed by blood transfusions, and began to evolve, growing fangs, gaining improved senses, and the ability to read and control minds. All human minds are open to these vampires, (or immortals as they prefer to be called), all that is except one's lifemate. A lifemate is the one person who can't be read or controled by a particular immortal. He or she is the one person with whom another immortal can be completely relaxed. This series is about one particular family finding their lifemates while hunting down or being hunted by rogue vampires. (Those immortals who break vampire laws). A very original take on the vampire myth. Extremely entertaining and funny. (This is the first book Sands wrote for the series, but chronologically A Quick Bite actually comes first.) "
