Raffaele Notte had reluctantly accompanied his cousins
Zanipolo and Santo to the Dominican Republic because
Santo needed rest after a traumatic experience and needed
someone to watch over him. Raffaele is hot, sick of the
humidity, and bored until he notices some of the mortal
tourists bear bite marks. Are there rogue immortals
nearby? Jess Stewart is in Punta Cana for a wedding, and
unhappily rooming with her cousin Allison. But when
Allison drags Jess on a shark-feeding excursion, trouble
follows.
Lynsay Sands' exceptional descriptive voice shines in
VAMPIRES LIKE IT HOT, as I felt smothered in humidity and
heat, but the author also paints a loving picture of the
place. I thought it very clever of the author to show us
a different perspective of the immortals through Jess'
eyes, and the Notte cousins. Ms. Sands' storytelling is
as smooth as silk, apart from a startling lack of
transition between Chapters 7 and 8. It was so abrupt
that, until the reason was given later on, I thought
pages were missing, or that there had been a mix-up in
the chapters. It felt as if the episode had been clumsily
inserted to fulfill a required quota of sex scenes; it
was extremely confusing. The romance between Raffaele and
Jess progresses in a surprising "mortal" fashion, and it
really showed what a considerate, caring, and truly
honorable man Raffaele is; he is a perfect hero.
For the neophytes among you, the immortals -- those Notte
boys -- are not exactly vampires, and the explanation for
their condition is, I think, the best one ever given in
any installment of the Argeneau
series. VAMPIRES LIKE IT HOT also
features several secondary characters, and they are
positively fantastic! In order not to disclose any
spoilers, I had to curb my enthusiasm a little -- a lot,
in fact! -- and I hope we will soon read about Zani the
party boy, Ildaria, and the absolutely fabulous Vasco; he
is one amazing dude! Yet again, Lynsay Sands comes up
with new blood to keep the Argeneaus seemingly immortal!
New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands
brings the heat in this new Argeneau novel, as one woman is
rescued by an irresistible immortal …
“Vampires...”
When Raffaele Notte pulls a barely dressed, disoriented
woman from the ocean, the last thing he expects is for her
to utter that word. The immortal has come to the island
resort to help his cousin, but now, it seems, there are
rogue vampires dining on unsuspecting tourists. And he soon
realizes that not only is Jess a target, she’s also the life
mate he’s been waiting for…
Vampires are real. Jess would’ve never believed it until she
saw them with her own eyes. She knows she has to get off the
island, and her gallant rescuer has offered to help. There’s
something about Raffaele that’s unlike any man she has ever
met, and his touch sends pleasure through her that is beyond
all imagining. But when Jess discovers who he really is,
will she risk life as she knows it for a chance of forever
by his side?
