"love love love. defi itely one of the better titles in the series. drina has such a great spirit and harper has that ssweet broody thing going on that works so well on vamps. stephanies character was so wonderfully hilarious it was noce to see sands trademark humor back in full force. so glad too finally see a possible explanation for marguerites ability to find lifemates as i was just bitching about that in my last review but i would like to have seen it developed more hopefully it will be in the next one. the only other negatove thing i have to say about it is i saw the "twist" coming from a mile away"

    " I really enjoyed this story. I liked both of the characters, there was a lot of great dialogue, a bit of suspense, and Stephanie was adorable. The only thing that bugged me to distraction was the overuse of the words dryly, wryly, and solemnly and the detailed descriptions when boring stuff was happening. Stephanie's comments and actions were my favorite parts of this story and I really hope she gets her own book. "

    " Not much heft, but perfect for a lazy summer afternoon spent near the water when you don't want to ruin a more expensive book. "

    " Drina and Harper are called in to babysit Stephanie, Dani's little sister, while Decker and Dani and Elvi and Victor are off on their honeymoons. Stephanie was turned in a previous book by a rogue and this book deals a lot with the changes she is going through with adapting to the fact that she will never see her family again. It also deals with Harpers hesitation of getting involved with Drina. Stephanie brings out the comedy as a teenager that sees what is between Drina and Harper before they do. Another great story. "

    " Not the best of the Argeneau series but did a good job of moving some of the characters along. I like she is opening admitting to the match making going on in the family and look forward to some of the remaining family and friends finding life mates. "

    " I think I've liked these books less since they've been about rogue hunters. I mean they were just a little funnier before that. "

    " Another delightful tale in the Argeneau Vampire Series. Lynsay Sands has a way of bringing two lifemates together and with Drina and Harper doubt and guilt is what plagues them. Will or won't they truely be together and what evil will try to break their growing love apart? "

    " Single White Vampire #3 might have finally met it's match. This book was make-your-eyes-water funny; especially the Wal-Mart scene. A must read. Stephanie really made this story and I now I can't wait for hers. "

    " This was my least favorite of the series so far. Drina and Harper and the large cast of characters--all newly minted life mates, plus babysitting a teenage girl with special issues? It was too much. "

    " Even though Tiny is a back story, I expected a little more from his turning. Harper and Drina are a good couple. Harper is more of a reluctant life mate than vampire. Stephanie could be a character to watch. She is mass of questions and mysteries. 3.5 stars "

    " Loved it! Refreshing, relaxing story I was easily able to immerse myself in. The impressions, thoughts, reflections, feelings and desires of the main characters were exceptionally well done. Can't wait to read Teddy's story in November. "
