Unwrapping a Review of IMMORTALLY YOURS, book 26 in the Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands

I’ve said many times what a great fan I am of the Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands…well, some of the past few novels have been less than her best, but she’s back! IMMORTALLY YOURS, the 26th Argeneau is everything we expect from this series and I couldn’t be happier.

Blurb for IMMORTALLY YOURS:

Irresistible chemistry and thrilling suspense combine in this electrifying new installment in New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands’ Argeneau series…

One hundred and twenty-five years is a long time to nurse a crush. That’s how long it’s been since Beth Argenis first met Cullen “Scotty” MacDonald and he instantly became the star of her most X-rated dreams. Back then, he was rescuing her from a Rogue Immortal. Now Beth’s a Rogue Hunter—a damn good one. She doesn’t need saving anymore, despite what Scotty thinks. What she does need is the fierce, wild desire that finally erupts between them.

Scotty has hesitated to claim Beth as his own. But one explosive kiss confirms what he’s long suspected: She’s his life mate. But Beth is tough, fearless, beautiful…and in immortal danger. Unless he wants to lose her forever, he’ll have to rethink everything he once believed about love and destiny as well as confront an enemy who’s terrifyingly close. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Beth Argenis, as an Immortal, is a Rogue Hunter but during her mortal life, she was the victim of a hateful father, turned into a prostitute, and then forced to see all those whom she thought of as family murdered by a Rogue Immortal. One of her saviors, the Laird Cullen MacDonald, known as Scotty by all who know him, is a man who has haunted her dreams since her being turned and saved…he also has made it quite clear he wants nothing to do with her. But way over a century has passed and now he’s working alongside her in Canada and the dreams are getting sexier, hotter, and her attraction to him greater. When it’s suggested he might be her life mate, she rejects the idea since he obviously despises her. How could anyone not want his life mate?

Scotty MacDonald has lived a very long life. He’s also waited a very long time for a time for his life mate…the problem being that he’s known who she was all along only he’s not sure she’s ready or even if he wants her to be ready. His past conflicts with hers, making him think less of her only he refuses to see it. But he can’t stop worrying about her, dreaming about her, and desiring her. When a single kiss tells him everything that he needs to know, his brain continues to fight his heart.

Now Beth is in danger. Scotty is determined to keep her safe. He never wanted her to be a Rogue Hunter but now that she is, he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe even if it means risking his own life. She is his life mate even though he wishes he could erase her past, for his sake as well as hers.

Scotty is a double Jamie Fraser sexy Scot! Yes, he’s grumpy, arrogant, and bossy but he’s a Laird after all…it comes with the title…but I still love him. Lynsay has conjured up some new and fun characters for us and introduced them in IMMORTALLY YOURS. Donny is our new comic relief with a tinge of innocence that just endears him completely to the reader. Kira is a new Russian born Immortal who has joined the Rogue Hunters under Beth’s tutelage and I can’t wait for her to have her own story as well as Donny his.

IMMORTALLY YOURS by Lynsay Sands is a true Argeneau fun and sexy paranormal written in the tradition of her earlier installments in the series. There’s great banter, comic relief, loads of action, and of course, hot Immortal sex complete with passing out. Hurrah! One of things I love best about this story is the wonderful backstory that Lynsay wove for us. Brilliant for helping us to understand Beth and Scotty so that we can only cheer for them once they get past their own obstacles to realize they are meant to be together.

I don’t want to give away too much because I want you to experience this one for yourself, but I highly recommend IMMORTALLY YOURS by Lynsay Sands because it’s Argeneau perfection. If you haven’t read this series yet…WHY NOT? You don’t have to be a fan of paranormal to enjoy the Argeneaus, their friends, and extended family. And IMMORTALLY YOURS is a perfect one to read to get your feet wet. I promise that if you read one…you’ll want to read more. So get started with IMMORTALLY YOURS by Lynsay Sands.

Happy Reading Everyone!

BRAYDEN

Having lost five years to prison after wrongly convicted of murder, Brayden Beckett is starting over. Leaving Texas to return to Montana is step one, opening a rescue sanctuary for horses in honor of his late wife is step two, and doing whatever he can to protect his heart from the pain of falling in love again is step three.

Melissa Conroy has been in love with her best friend’s husband since the first moment she met him…so when he calls her out of the blue to offer her a job, she leaps at the chance. She knows how much he loved his wife but even if it only means being close to him, she is willing to risk the heartache of rejection until she becomes the other woman.

Terrified of losing someone he loves again and being left alone, Brayden pushes Melissa away even as he can’t help but seek her out, until he pushes her away one too many times and she says enough. Now he’s at risk of losing her forever and his greatest fear has come true. Is it possible to have two great loves in one lifetime—and love both at the same time?
